ya i noticed this to. My primary line is now available for upgrade but if i wait till my reg time i get an added bonus but my wife's is still the same time. my line is primary and both of us had the same day for upgrade eligibility. i thought this was weird too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jonesin:
+1
[Verizon Droid Charge] jonesin:
I see that the common denominator is an account with multiple lines. Correct me if I'm wrong....
[Verizon Droid Charge] Dalamar1320:
I have multiple lines, none up for an upgrade till may... Bummer
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
I have multiple lines as well.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jonesin:

[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Nope. I have three lines.
[Verizon Droid Charge] landshark68:
I have one line and it looks like I have the deal. Next to the picture of the Charge on my account home page it says Eligible for a discount and then a ? in a blue circle. When I put my cursor on the question mark, a small window popped up that read:

You are eligible to upgrade with discounted pricing. If you upgrade on or after 5/09/12 you are eligible to receive an additional loyalty discount.

I clicked on upgrade phone and all the phones were listed at the two year contract discount price. Wonder how long this is going to last.
[Verizon Droid Charge] KarateExplosion6:
Negative for me. I'm still listed for Feb. 2013!
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
I've read news like this last month on droid-life i believe, that some people are getting their dates pushed up.

Here's the link:

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/08/2...remely-early-upgrades-to-long-term-customers/

So, check your emails
[Verizon Droid Charge] Undzis:
lol i never got an email and only checked because of the op. bonus me though :D

idk if its because of being a long time customer though. ive only been with verizon for the last 3yrs. yet i got the same message on my online account as landshark got.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ellisz:
I checked mine the other day and it seemed too far out. I got the SF in Nov '10 and it shows my upgrade as Mar '13? I had a SF replacement at one point and then got the Charge when they started that option. None of those changes should have changed my date would it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
That's your last NewEvery2 discount, which I think is now only $30, anyway.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlexDeGruven:
They shouldn't have, but it appears that it did. Maybe something went weird with your Charge replacement (or an agent punched it in wrong), which put it through as an early upgrade.

I got my Fascinate in September of '10 and got it replaced with a Charge in July. I also had a replacement Fascinate in April when they munged up the network database and were replacing phones even though it only needed to be reactivated.

As I said in the OP. Before Saturday, my upgrade date was 5/30/12. Now it's any time I want it.

If the Prime comes out as a Nexus, and not a Droid, I'll be all over that thing. Particularly if it's a qHD or 720p SAMOLED(+).
[Verizon Droid Charge] jselden:
I have had Verizon for 10 years now and never got any early upgrades at all. (Boo!) but This also was not listed as up gradable on my account. It is still listed at 4/12/2012.

As well I also bought my Fascinate in 10/2010. And then replaced with a charge after all the crap problems I had with it in May/June.

So in my case no extended contract or early upgrade and am just going to have to bug the hell out of them. LOL.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Dalamar1320:
I seem to stand corrected. My plan NOW shows my phone eligible for an upgrade. SWEET!
[Verizon Droid Charge] SoonerLater:
Yeah, I received an email inviting me to upgrade (8 months early). Click thumbnail below.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bear55:
Nice! How long have you been a customer?

I'm so embarrassed to post this, but there we go.

CWM installed following the tutorial for the P920 using the 3D ROM MANAGER (rooted by superoneclick). Apparently installed successfully, but when trying to install the mod's ROMs (King_3d, and ThiaiZ KINGDROID), all of them will not boot completely and then turn off your device as you pressed the power button.

Trying to see what could be wrong, I saw on the back label that my device it's a P925. :(:(:( I was stupid and not able to make the backup old ROM.

I just killed my phone or there is still way out of it?

PS: I tried to run this rom from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1270832 but this also does not boot completely, and the device shutting down.

Maybe a problem with the CWR?

[LG Thrill 4G] Ratzenberger:
Thanks, but i have no system running on phone to do this. I´m stuck on CWR with no rom. :(
[LG Thrill 4G] pjcforpres:
How much battery do you have left? You should be able to boot completely with O3D ROMs, and for sure with the stock Thrill ROM. Also, are you doing a data wipe before hand?

If you can get into recovery, which sounds like you can, no need to reflash the recovery. As well, a boot loop usually means failure to wipe properly or wrong kernel (but that doesn't apply here at all).
[LG Thrill 4G] Ratzenberger:
Battery it´s full! All attempts i wape the cache , data & factory, and dalvik too.

Without success, the phone keeps Shutting Down after booting the ROM's. (I can see "reading sd card" on the top bar before shutting down screen.

:(

Thank you in advance for the assistance. :(
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Wait so you're actually able to boot into the operating system and then it just shuts off? Or does it reboot back to the boot screen? If its shutting off That sounds like something is wrong with the phone itself.

Try to redownload a fresh copy of the rom and push it to your SD card (check the md5 sums to be sure its right. If its not posted ask the dev to put it up). Boot into clockworkmod and go to mounts and storage. From there format /system /data and /cache. Now install the rom and reboot.
[LG Thrill 4G] Ratzenberger:
Thanks to help-me again

I followed exactly as you instructed. Now with the ROM ThiaiZ again without success. Booting ROM (Break Dancing Droid) and then Power off

Shutting Down Screen

:(
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
There's no reason for the phone to shut off like that. Even if you are getting bad rom flashes. Unless..

I gotta ask...is the battery charged? You can lose a lot of battery being in recovery and going through reboots. It could actually be that the battery is not charged or is defective. Try charging and/or replacing the battery.
[LG Thrill 4G] Ratzenberger:
I have good news! Or bad news too. I just decided to turn on the device with the USB cable plugged in and booted it as well. He is not holding battery charge, consisting as 0% of charged. I tested another battery from a friend and did the same thing. If I unplug the USB cable the device shutting off immediately. It may be a software problem or a hardware problem coincidentally?
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Edit: it appears they're having the same problem over in the O3D forums. Try restoring the stock firmware and stock recovery. I would also try formatting all your partitions individually (you will lose data so backup first).
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
DELETED.

Easy to make a unrooted, you can use insecure kernel or you take the dd image and remove Su, busybox and superuser.

[Nexus S Android Development] airadier:
Hi,

I had an european I9023 Nexus S with s slightly modified system (stock ROM, but rooted, with a custom kernel, and updated radio).

The phone downloaded the OTA update to 2.3.6 but was unable to apply it because of the modified kernel.

So I made a custom OTA update that will update the system from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 but won't touch the kernel, the radio or the recovery (stock ROM will overwrite recovery on boot by default, so I disabled it).

Here you can download it:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3658919/and...-GRJ22.7d114042-noboot-noradio-norecovery.zip

I have applied to from clockworkmod recovery. Please note that it is not signed, so signature verification must be disabled.

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE TRYING!

I won't be responsible for bricked phones :)

Have fun.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] vasim98:
Hello,

My HTC Touch Diamond (in use since 2008) is strangely suffering power down problem. Once using, it suddenly powered off. Now whenever I try to turn it on either of the following happens:

1) Some times, nothing happens even if I press power button, press soft reset button by stylus or even connect it with PC.

2) If I take out battery and again insert the battery and power on, it starts some times. Windows boots & logo appears. Then after a while during boot, it stops & power is shut down.

I have replaced the fully charged battery, and also tried providing external power supply. I have also formatted the internal memory. The problem is still there.

Before giving it to technician, I want to discuss if someone has solution here?

Regards,

Waseem

Thinking about making my mobile experience consolidated. I want a descent mount, power and audio for my epic.

How about this for power:

http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Power-Ca...VZ5E/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1317670360&sr=8-9

This for a mount (first option is cheaper with above power and doesn't cover buttons):

http://www.proclipusa.com/default.a...d=&parent_category=4&d_pcat=13451&d_cat=18521

As far as audio, I don't have an aux in for my radio. I can get it with a few different mods that have provide aux input and/or bluetooth pairing to phone. I'm thinking life would be easier with a hardwire to the headphone port. My Sirius/Pandora would still stop if I had a incomming call. But does the mic on the phone work if there is something plugged into the speaker jack? Is there a way to rig something to the phone jack that inclues a mic (kinda like the earbuds that came with our epics)?

I looked at some expensive options that have bluetooth displays and onboard sync to phone contacts? Why bother.. we already have a great display and easy acces to contact?

Usually UK phones have different bands, so even though it would work if it were GSM, you wouldn't get 3G on AT&T.

With all the talk of Intel breaking into the smartphone market

I ask, between AMD and Intel who would you want in your phone our tablet and why?

My answer its AMD, their apu's I find to be very impressive vs the atom or laptop core I series. Id love to have a Radeon HD 6400 series gpu to play my Android games on =)
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
Amd the apu is great i hope the put it in tablets an does android support those kinds of cpu's
[Vibrant General] ECOTOX:
Its going to yes =) and unofficially does already
[Vibrant General] hotadef:
Hands down amd. Basicly intel makes a hell of a cpu but graphics not so much. Amd is not to far behind intel. But imho they make the best graphic cards and have the best technology in the gpu. So if they decided to make tablet and phones cpu and gpu i think they will have be very good and being that its phone and tablet maybe some of there gpu tech can be used in the cpu since the cpu for phones and tablets work a bit different than a desktop cpu or laptop cpu for that matter. Sorry for the caps im at work i have to use caps all day
[Vibrant General] Mr. Apocalypse:
AMD is the best, all day, everyday
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
i'll stick with Samsung CPUs ;)

they are the best right now in the phone market
[Vibrant General] ECOTOX:
I agree, buy if these guys got in the game is the question =)
[Vibrant General] ECOTOX:
I agree there, but with AMD llano and later bulldozer based APU, any processor gap between Intel and AMD will be gone. These two companies entering the mobile arena will make competition skyrocket, and that only means good things for us consumers =) they would push the drive for faster graphics and processors even quicker than it already its moving

Remember people you get what you pay for and AMD is CHEAP, and no I'm not impressed with their GPUs either
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
AMD is not cheap. They have graphics processors at all price points offering more bang for buck than the equivalent Nvidia offering.
[Vibrant General] cashyftw:
Amd is cheap, well slower than intel :)
[Vibrant General] ECOTOX:
also keep in mind that AMD is bringing around their first major Arch revision since 2004, and also keep in mind that for a while AMD smoked intel with Athlon and Athlon XP aswell as with Athlon64, intel didnt regain lead till the core series. AMD GPU on the other hand are consistently offering more for your Dollar than NVIDIA, I have a Radeon HD4870 1gb and can still max out ALL my games short of DX11 specific features (tesselation, etc.) Intel processors since the beginning of the core series have been great, but their GPU leave alot to be desired. Until I can play Borderlands on an intel APU with a better framerate than an AMD APU I'm gonna go with AMD. If you can really name a single desktop application or game where there is a big enough difference between AMD and Intel (desktop as in common user applications) then you will get my kudos. Also your going to want to be looking into AMD and Intels new archs like bulldozer and ivy bridge. Bulldozer will be out in just over a week and we'll see what AMD has up there sleeve with their first major arch change in forever =] (and now that they will have all the instruction sets intel has also =D)

EDIT: and by difference I mean more than 10-15sec or more than 10-15FPS

PS, this isnt a desktop/laptop question, think of TABs / Phones when making an answer =]
[Vibrant General] funeralthirst:
consider yourself lucky. i've never, ever had a problem with nvidia in linux. with ati, i tried fedora, opensuse, mandriva, and ubuntu. ubuntu would work in 9.10 but only the stock kernel (from the live cd), any kernel update would kill everything. finally i was able to get 10.10 installed, and 11.04 hasn't given me any problems. but i still can't run any other distro.

and sure, this isn't about desktops or laptops, but android is linux and if their driver support sucks in linux, i expect it to suck in android as well.
[Vibrant General] Jasonhunterx:
Ati/Amd gpu's are the best point blank nothing to it there should be no argument :-/
[Vibrant General] ECOTOX:
yeah but dont you think if they did enter that market they would provide the needed support for the android based devices? I havent had any problems for years with AMD GPUs and linux, and Every driver update I just install and go no matter kernel or distro I have used (I mostly use Ubuntu though). I guess it really is based on experience =P I see it this way though, as of right now you can max out Left4Dead 2 on an AMD APU, you get maybe 13fps on an Intel. The laptop market is where we can best compare, and Idk about you but if I'm getting a Tab or phone I'm not looking for something to crunch data (which we all know intel does better), I want a rich and smooth UI, games that look amazing, and light weight and low power consumption (IMO both companies are doing ALOT better with TDP but still have a ways to go)

yeah, no argument on intel vs amd in graphics.

but i am sour on ati since the 5770s were my first experience and i can't even use them for gaming because they just crash (which completely kills the purpose of having crossfire for me). at least for the last 6 months i've been able to use them in linux without worrying about kernel updates forcing me to reinstall.

as for the drivers, even when i was having problems, ati's proprietary drivers supposedly supported all the distros i was trying to run. so i'm skeptical on their commitment to support.
