[Verizon Droid Charge] SigmunDroid:
Well... Having played with the bionic extensively...and after getting screwed out of getting a Bionic @ Costco (only new activations/lines got them) because my first Droid Charge was a piece of crap, here is my take on the subject...

The Bionic's software is blazingly fast in some aspects and buggy and crappy in others. A dual core CPU for all curreny software yields no added benefit for streamlined performance like having 1GB of Ram provides...

This new charge I received

-has no radio issues

-has a battery that lasts me from 3a-9p with moderate to heavy usagee...

-does not exhibit lag nor redraws

-has better build quality than from 3 months ago

All in all I dislike that the Charge has 'only' 328MB of ram after the system uses the difference from 512...but I don't see or feel those figures hindering my 2nd Droid Charge's performance considering I am still unrooted!

My opinion?

If the 1st T-bolt is any indication of HTC's future business model...the Vigor will suck akin to the Droid Bionic. Samsung is on the ball and understand what we want as cell phone afficiondos and consumers...they are listening. Motorola dropped the ball and half baked yet another flagship device in the Bionic.

Samsung or bust and I am the anti-fanboy...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Goronok:
Totally spot on with #2, I've had an epic 4g touch to play with for the last week and there is NO way I can move back to this charge. I love the screen, but this phone is the laggiest thing ever! I have tried every ROM out there and they all start out great, but performance declines rapidly after.

Might have to grab a Bionic for a few months until the Prime is released. Epic 4G touch is an amazing phone btw... minus sprints network :-)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rythmyc:
I would personally laugh at anyone going for a Bionic right now. We know ICS is coming out soon, and there are no guarantees the Bionic will be upgraded. Galaxy Nexus will be Samoled +, and have better specs. The only reason I could see someone doing it, was to test for 30 days and trade for a Nexus.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Birthofahero:
The small amount of ram shouldn't be a problem. 368 mb of free ram is plenty. Remember, free ram is wasted ram.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
And free ram is still burning power
[Verizon Droid Charge] piizzadude:
I agree with most of what you said but the Bionic never getting ICS is sorta a joke right?

Most phones get at least one upgrade and since the bionic is dual core, it most certainly will get the upgrade.
[Verizon Droid Charge] -javier-:
the only phone ill trade the charge is for a gs2 when it comes to verizon.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rythmyc:
Look at it like this. How many capable devices are STILL running Froyo? Look at the Charge and Thunderbolt. Both are yet to receive Gingerbread. After how long? That's more what I was meaning.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rythmyc:
Lol? Did you just say GS2 and Verizon in same sentence? You didn't get the memo did you? Big Red passed on the GS2 to get exclusive first on the Galaxy Nexus.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
I have yet to see anywhere that 100% confirms the next Nexus is coming to VZ, only this Droid Prime thing whatever it is Charge 2 etc...

anyway fat chance of me switching the best phone VZ has currently for the steaming pile that is the LOLbionic

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] Rythmyc:
It's been thrown both ways. However "Prime" may have been stripped from the title completely. It's all just rumor, but the fact ICS is coming stock on anything as soon as they expect it to, would alone give me a reason not to get a phone with Gingerbread. Considering Verizon's update track record.

I noticed this http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-UTC-200M-Out-Cable-Connector/dp/B0031S9A8Q

It is believed. That more or less it's not secure to use they're products because it phones home information, whether it be what you type or anything of that matter I honestly don't know, but many people think that way and avoid it.

[Epic 4G Apps] AproSamurai:
It's not that they don't respect patents, overall we as a country owe them tons. It's that many products produced by developers over their Android Wise aren't intended to ever make it here, it's meant to stay in China and outlying areas avoiding the attention of the bigger companies which take stake in things as well as the smaller development groups which open source projects. MIUI is an example of this, yes they ripped Cyanogenmod code but it was never supposed to leave China, we weren't supposed to be fully aware of it's existence. So can't blame them for innovating something and not wanting to share it, however making it close source they can be blamed for and then it gets shared because people want it. Not in Go's case specifically but in general. Many things infringe on patents that no one has heard because the demand for the infringing products have gone up.

[HD2 General] flamner:
For several days I get tired of uploading windows 7 on your phone hd2. The first time everything went smoothly, but broken marketplace forced me to install another rom ... and after that began to complications. Reinstalling WP7 ran smoothly, unfortunately after the restart, the phone hung up on the screen where you had to enter the PIN code, the screen does not respond to touch. After reset, the message began to appear that the memory card does not work and could not turn on the system. Again I tried to upload the new rom, but unfortunately it did not help ... Later I was able to upload back android nand and somehow everything worked. Today I made another attempt to install WP7, unfortunately, only worsened his situation, which is as follows:

The phone will not even turn on, just as I plug it into usb. MAGLDR loads seamlessly, this 4-color screen as well. Unfortunately, the system loads until the htc logo appears and some animation, after that the phone automatically resets and so on.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Check and make sure you do not have a bent battery pin as a bent battery pin has been known to cause the HD2 to boot loop like you are describing.

If you do not have a bent battery pin, then I suggest you run a Task 29 and then re install MAGLDR then reflash your WP7 ROM. Also it might help if you do a total reformat of your SD card then try to boot your device with a freshly formated SD card. I know I know WP7 formats your card anyway on first boot but hey it could help. If you still have troubles after that I suggest you get a new SD card and try that. You see if your SD card does not work WP7 will not boot cause it uses the SD card as the internal memory for the device.
[HD2 General] flamner:
I don't know how, but now everything is working! I didn't do enything! Just plug usb cable, and system was loaded! I disconnect cable and it still working?!
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Hmmmmm that is odd. At least it is working again. One question though, have you tried to power of and power back on you HD2?
[HD2 General] flamner:
Many times.. Erlier it didn't help..
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
No I mean have you tried powering it on and off since it has started working again?
[HD2 General] flamner:
Yes, now i can restart the phone, and everything works properly. I don't know how it is possible..? For now I stay with android, I will wait for better version of wp7 rom for hd2.

Found the comparison in the first sentence amusing that sprint would call their own network crap.http://shop2.sprint.com/en/shop/why_sprint/4g/4g_plan_details.html click on speeds.
[Epic 4G General] Neckberg:
from link;

How much faster is 4G?

4G speeds are up to 10 times faster than 3G. That's like swapping out DSL for a high-speed cable modem. Or your Model T for a Maserati.

AVERAGE PEAK MONTHLY

DOWNLOAD SPEEDS	DOWNLOAD SPEEDS DOWNLOAD LIMIT

4G 3 - 6 Mbps	More than 10 Mbps	All you can stream, browse, email, chat, watch and game while on our network.

3G 600 Kbps - 1.4 Mbps	Up to 3.1 Mbps	All you can stream, browse, email, chat, watch and game while on our network.2

Who is getting 600-1.4 on 3g? If that is a model T, am am riding in a horse drawn carriage.
[Epic 4G General] Lord-Anubis:
Or they could be saying that their 3g network was a marvel in working class engineering that brought freedom and equality to the common man, turning an agrarian country into the marvel of the western world. And in the same sense, a revolutionary product that re-vitalized the industrialized world and made possible the advanced infrastructure we enjoy today...
[Epic 4G General] formula84:
My 3g In philadelphia is crazy sucking into south jersey. I usually get 200-300 down and sometimes in rare occasions / weird places (my office on 19th floor) do I actually get over 600.

[Epic 4G General] austin420:
if you dont get results like this, you need to call and get an airave. 3g shouldnt be that slow. even 600k down is laughable to me. 1Mb minimum download or i am not a happy camper.

[Epic 4G General] bnguyen1983:
For a little comparison, I canceled my Sprint plan and went on Tmobile's $50 month to month with only 100mb 4G speeds, which I maxed quick. It dropped down to EDGE speeds and that itself is faster and more stable than what I was getting with Sprint at 0.2 Mbs
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
This is a common problem - logic that is riddled with fallacies (flaws, for the OP and any others who struggle with the correct meanings of words, lol)

While we can all agree that a Maserati is *faster* than a model T, nothing about their statement implies that a model T is crap - only that it is slow *relative* to a Maserati. I'm not saying that anyone would argue that a Maserati isn't fast, but their statement doesn't address the absolute speed of a Maserati, because the statement is simply a comparison.

You tried to add unstated information into what was written when it is not inherently correct, or in other words, you tried to put words in their mouths
[Epic 4G General] xjayman:
There's plenty of comparisons they could have use against aMaserati that would make users not in 4g coverage feel better about what they've subscribed to. Hard for me to refer friends in Wisconsin to sprint using a model T as comparison to what their network speeds are going to be. Rebut that
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
Today's Speed Test results: 0.14 - 0.23 mbps down, 1/2 that up. I broke 0.3"bandwith barrier" once though :) My coworker's Droid X: consistent 1.8-2.3 down, 1/2 up on 3G. 4g does not exist here. Comparisons like this make me strongly consider jumping ship for VZW (existing family plan) vs. sticking it out with SERO. To think that Sprint's 3G held its own and then some vs. VZW just a few years ago...
[Epic 4G General] formula84:
I am in the same boat as you, my parents have VZW family plan with 4 lines on it and I have had Sprint Sero for almost 10 years, I can remember Sprint never being this bad more than a year ago...it has just got progressively worse.

Everyone should visit here and complain post you findings on speeds in your area( http://community.sprint.com/baw/community/buzzaboutwireless/network-and-coverage?view=discussions )

Its a sprint monitored forum for network related problems. I have been on it starting today adding to pissed customers that are all experiencing crappy coverage.

Make our voices heard and maybe it will get us in que for these "enhancements" faster for our areas.
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
Seriously? I generally get over 1Mb on 3g in Tucson. And at home in Marana, I get about 700Kb and my place is on the VERY edge of Sprint's coverage area.
[Epic 4G General] formula84:
Its not about Sprints network type or signal strength, its all about the area your in and load. From seeing others report on it, and me experiencing it I can confirm that Sprints Back-end blows donkey ****. If there are too many users loading down a cell site you will see up to 200K max... it's pitiful
[Epic 4G General] rygran87:
I have never seen speeds that low except on 1x
[Epic 4G General] formula84:
I can confirm that this is infact EVDO, I know that the indicator on stock does not work but if you go to dialer -> #33284# -> MSL -> Data Status -> here you can see if its 1x or EVDO.
