[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
It is Sprint's only competitive edge, given the overall suckage of its network coverage (non-renewal of tower lease agreements), 3g speed drop due to inadequate backhaul support and multitude of broken promises over the past two years re. 4G coverage and speeds. I am on SERO, and as recently as two years ago it was a steal. These days, despite SERO being cheap, I probably get what I pay for - but it feels like less since Sprint used to be better than this on the important fronts. Part of me feels sorry not to have left for VZW when their data plans were still uncapped, but I still hope that Sprint may improve by the beginning of 2012 or I'm done with Sprint after 6+ years, sadly.

I'll tell you what, if they just keep giving out the Airaves free (you use your own internet bandwidth rather than theirs), that's gotta be cheaper than putting up more towers and they can keep offering unlimited data. I'm not complaining anymore. I'm getting 6 bars in my house now with the Airave.

The charging time of the Droid Bionic is painfully slow, I suggest that someone should make a flashable charging modification similar to the one that was created by Chad0989 of IncrediKernel link shown here: http://www.incredikernel.com/wp-con...-monitor/download.php?id=enablefastcharge.zip

Can such modification be implemented for the Droid Bionic at this time?

Please let me know cause I'm really tired of waiting 2-3 Hours for a full charge.

Thanks!

It has to do with a custom kernel...until we see a unlocked bootloader and a dev building a kernel from source...it wont happen
[Motorola Droid Bionic] danman7:
Also, be careful what you wish for, from what I understand, faster charging can negatively impact your long term battery life. No proof of that, but I'm sure I've read that on here before.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] squeeze:
On a standard battery I get full charge in less than 2 hours.

Scenario: phone off (on didnt' seem to matter), plugged in using moto included accessories. (charger and usb cable)

On the extended battery I get a full charge in about 5 hours...that one is painful...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] killerplatinum:
Wow... I was getting about 5 hours on regular battery from charge before I rooted. Now that I rooted and installed DroidTh3ory's ROM, my first full day trial I started at 11:30am or so and it is now 6:01pm and I'm looking at 60% battery life without charging it at all today... Talk about improvement.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dadsterflip:
2 hours or less on extended battery here.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tornlogic:
That's absolutely true. 1C is really the Max you want to charge a lithium battery. 1C is one times the capacity.

But the funny thing is, the biggest fastest charger I have found is rated at 1 amp. That's much less than what the battery is capable of. (~1.7a)

So in a nutshell, don't worry about charging your battery too quickly on the Bionic.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] idefiler6:
Liberty ROM will have a faster charge and better battery life overall from what I'm seeing of the alphas. Should not be too much longer until it's released. Give it a few weeks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] AdamNJ77:
I went from about 20% to 100% on the extended battery in about 2 hours. However I use my iPad's USB adapter to charge it with. I believe its output is 10W instead of the normal 5W from a USB charger. I don't know if that makes any difference for the Bionic at all. I had used the USB adapter it came with originally, and yes it was PAINFULLY slow
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cixelsyddyslexic:
It is wicked slow... Would love to see something that could help with that!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thesmashippy:
Is that IncrediKernal dwnld for DInc?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BFirebird101:
I can charge my phone from completely dead to 100% in about an hour. Maybe you should consider getting another battery?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] slmhofy:
You guys who think the Bionic charges slow are crazy! The Charge took around 4.5 hours for a full charge. I'm amazed at how fast this thing charges (2-3 hours) and it's even got a bigger battery.

I installed Mango today from Zune (official) and now I lost 3G service...

I'm on a HTC Trophy with Verizon wireless. When it first loaded it ran connection setup.

As a result, some features on the phone do not work now, like voice text and a few other things.

Any idea ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] otmshank00:
Me too. I was just about to post this same thing until I searched and saw your topic. I uninstalled the HTC connection setup and re-installed it. Now it says no carrier with that name found in the database. I'm boned. I was considering a hard reset but I don't know what else to do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BigwaveMx:
have the same trouble. Cannot connect to 3g network with my samsung focus (used in Telcel). Just when i add a APN config, i can reach 3g connection but before Mango, i don't need that config.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

the info about the connections showed in diagnosis window are different now. After Mango, i can view all the default connections of my phone. Now there isn't connections config. What do you see in your phone? Try this code *#9920# en diagnosis app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] otmshank00:
I don't have the samsung diag app and I don't know the HTC equivalent.

A thought occurs though. Did we all upgrade from the leaked RTM? I sure did and I wonder if that's a potential issue. My options for fixing this is are:

1. Hard reset

2. Restore to NoDo. Upgrade through

3. Warranty replacement

Unless I get some suggestions...Please :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] otmshank00:
Hard reset FTW. Major pain to recover from though...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Syst3m:
I know the setup of emails, etc is a pain, but using the new device manager on live.com is AMAAAAAZZZING. It displays a list of your purchased items, and by clicking a button, sends it to reinstall on your phone in the background. You can at least continue to set the phone up and not worry about redownloading all the programs - it'll do it for you.
[Windows Phone 7 General] soundman87:
Lost 3G here as well after mango update. I was also not on the stock NODO but whatever the last leaked update was that could be installed through Zune.
[Windows Phone 7 General] at45:
I did an official update from 7004 and all was fine, the rolled back to use the "unlock.xml" in Diagnostics GPRS and then back to Mango and now it's screwed (Omnia 7).

Help greatly appreciated
[Windows Phone 7 General] speeddemon2008:
Odd, my trophy and my sisters updated without a hitch. Well mine restarted like 10 times on step 8 of 10 or whatever. But all is running well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BigwaveMx:
I restore the OS to te last backup and all works fine. Now i will try to update again to Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BigwaveMx:
ok, after some test, i found how to fix this for samsung focus devices: After upgrading to Mango and after load unlock file in gprs manager, just uncheck the ADC flag in samsung tools app, reboot the phone, and enable the flag again. Reboot the phone and all works again. My cel now is full unlocked and have mms and 3g service.
[Windows Phone 7 General] LiFePo4:
Reading WPCentral and VZW forums, the HTC Connection Setup does not work on the VZW Trophy. If you have it installed when you upgrade it tries to run and causes lose of 3G/Data.

You have to roll back, uninstall Connection Setup, and then upgrade. This keeps data alive. OR, do a hard reset and start over.

But, if you install the Connection Setup after upgrading it will not find the carrier and run (doesn't appear to do anything so data stays on). However, trying to unlock/inter-op unlock with a provxml file in the windows directory is not working so you are not able to run sideloaded apps.

I have another post in QA about the HTC Connection not working on the VZW Trophy and these other issues verify it doesn't. I had the app uninstalled before updating as I didn't want my provxml file being removed so luckily ended up with data still working. But, this screws up trying to pass interop-unlock to final Mango on the VZW Trophy. :mad:

My hope right now is HTC sends an update to allow it to run and get my provisioning into the registry OR heathcliff figures out how to do inter-op unlock on HTCs...
[Windows Phone 7 General] soundman87:
I had the HTC connection setup application installed prior to updating, and saw it automatically tried finding my network after booting into mango. I would like to rollback and uninstall this however it doesn't look like zune ever made a backup? During the update it said it was making a backup, but the only file I see is a small xml file in the backup location?

I really did not want to do a full reset and lose all my application data.
[Windows Phone 7 General] day2die:
You can always try the Verizon Trophy Mango ROM is all else fails.

This has to be one of the most frustrating aspects about this phone. Never mind the lack of color quality or the barred wireless tethering, but the fact that this phone has the hdmi output but is not compatible with any of the apps I want to use it for is sad. So far i have found I can not use it for: NFL mobile, Hulu, and now you say HBO GO. "Oh but you forget netflix works!" you might repond, well Netflix is already on every device known to man so there is no benefit to having this if you plan on streaming online content.

HBO No Go

The Bionic asks me to unplug the HDMI cable and plug it back it. Doing that does not change things.

I had video on my tv for one second. Then the error message popped up again.

Today Zune prompted that the update is available so I started the update. It fails every time I try to update my phone :-(

I am already om 7720 but still Zune (and my Phone) pop up the update message.

I even did a full reset of my phone but still the update fails.

At step 5 it stays on 0% and the phone restarts.

Then step 6 and 7 (installing updates) ... again the reboot ..

Message on the phone:

Update Unsuccesfull

Unfortunately , we weren't able to update your phone. Refer to the Zune software or Mac Connector on your computer to find out what happened. Or if your're already closed this software, go to windowsphone.com for guidance.

See attached pictures.

Ok, I used to get this error when I tried to update my firmware by changing my carrier code using Samsung Registry editor. As it turns out, Samsung firmwares are kinda locked to carriers. I tried Tmobile, Orange but the firmware would not install, getting the same error code as you did.

I had to wait for Samsung to release the firmware for my carrier.

Did you do anything to your LG phone? Like changing carrier code? If you did, you'll have to change it back.

Hmmm

I think I figured out what is going on. Apparently Mango needs the latest firmware from LG to be installed on the phone. This was given to branded phones but not to unlocked/unbranded phones like mine, a few months back. With the firmware update the LG Optimus 7 will jump from:

Firmware Rev 1.0.7.10

Hardware Rev 1.0.0.0

Radio Software 1.0.7.10

Radio Hardware 0.3.5.0

Bootloader Ver 1.5.0.0

Chip SOC 0.30.2.0

to:

Firmware Rev 1.0.10.10

Hardware Rev 1.0.0.0

Radio Software 1.0.10.10

Radio Hardware 0.3.5.0

Bootloader Ver 1.5.1.0

Chip SOC 0.30.2.0

People who successfully updated their LG E900 to Mango already had that phone, from the little research I have been doing in the past few hours. So all we need is the firmware update from LG to be installed and I am hoping that this will allow us to go ahead and install Mango.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Just picked one up today. Review coming in the next few hours with video...very nice case.

REVIEW:

In short, I love this case. My coworker told me we got them in, sent me a pic, I asked him a few questions, and I rushed in to grab one. It appears to be made by the same manufacturer of a case/holster combo for the E3D and the Photon; we're not sure who makes them, but I was always a fan of the case for the other two phones. I'll sum up my thoughts on it before I do a vid review:

-What I have found to be inconvenient about the ergonomics of the ET4G is not the width and length, but rather the width and length and their relationship with how thin and light it is. This case seriously improves on it. The width increase is minimal enough to not be a detriment; the amount added to the height (measured glass to battery cover) is enough to make the phone much easier to handle, yet not so much that it doesn't take away from the big appeal of this phone, how thin it is; the case itself is very light, yet adds just enough to improve on the "feel" of the phone.

-The material is awesome. It's a hard rubber, almost hard silicone; it's *just* flexible enough, feels reasonably tough, and is completely covered in a soft touch matte finish. I mean COMPLETELY covered, inside and out. The only part that isn't is the belt clip. This was my biggest requirement for a hard, non-silicone case, as I won't buy anything that has the potential to scuff the finish on the bezel. The finish also provides terrific middle of the road grip: it definitely improves upon the grip of the phone when holding with normal pressure, yet isn't so grippy (like silicone) that it'll snag things in your pocket or make it hard to handle in those dextrous situations (like flipping to landscape mode and back)

-I'm typically not a holster guy, and I might only use it at work, but it's damn convenient. Extremely easy to put in, and popping it out is very quick yet firm. The entire holster is also soft touch, so no worries about it touching your screen (although the case provides about a 1/2 mm lip anyway)

-Looks slick. Not the fanciest design around and admittedly plain, but I find the combination of minimal added bulk, soft touch finish, textured back, and precise cutouts creates a reasonable amount of bad-ass factor. It does a very good job of emphasizing the dark, dangerous aesthetics of the phone.

Now the retail price is 29.99 (though as an employee I get a 25% discount), which I know sounds a little steep, but I think once you feel the phone in the case in your hand, you'll find it's worth it. Also, I'm a tech and not a sales rep, so I have no ulterior motives to recommend this case ;)

Do you feel that the corners are protected?

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

I dont like cases without inside felt padding. If it's the type that kinda snaps on the front of the phone I have a feeling that it may end up leaving wear marks on the phone where it snaps on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdefran:
So what is the name/maker of the case? I want to call around to ask different stores and verify they have it in stock...I don't leave the store without a case, unless it just remains in the box (and that isn't fun!)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
Yes, the corners are protected. I also have the kickstand case and compared to it, this case is a lot more of a low profile and slimmer type. The entire case and holster are made of plastic with the rubbery texture. I can't say this is my perfect case and/or holster, but short of the kickstand case listed in another thread, this is the closest I've come across.

One big positive is how the phone/case fits into the holster. Its almost as if it forms together like a puzzle. Very nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cudahy_boy:
