[Verizon Droid Charge] kalibar:
My understanding is that the missed calls on the Fascinate are firmware-based and are nonexistent on the CM7/MIUI builds. I've had my Fascinate for a couple days now on CM7.1 and haven't had a single problem with it, but admittedly I haven't gone looking for one yet. It's really nice to be back on an AOSP ROM. This thing is speedy as ****, and I don't have to stare at Samsung's poop-and-pumpkin theme if I want current software.

I guess what I'm trying to make clear here is that I'm not even a little bit upset with the generous people who have poured their blood, sweat, and tears into doing Samsung's job for them with the Charge. You guys should absolutely be commended. And to those of you who have said "welp OP you shoulda done more research because Samsungs are always flaming abortions" (paraphrasing here), you're not wrong. I had heard that the stock firmware on Samsung devices was an unreasonable trainwreck early on in the Galaxy S's lifespan, but I didn't pick up a Vibrant until it had been out for almost a year and there were wonderful custom ROMs galore and fixes for anything you can imagine and I guess I just figured people had been exaggerating how bad it was.

I suppose it was naive to assume that using a Charge before we had AOSP ROMs available would be anything short of a catastrophe. For that, I've got nobody to blame but myself. These Samsung phones clearly take more time than the HTCs for the dev community to badger into being usable ****ing products, and as a general rule seem to have fewer people working on them anyway (probably due in no small part to how much of a ****show they are to begin with). Again, that's not to be critical of the devs -- I wouldn't want to volunteer my own time with an apparent dead end either, and you can't blame anyone who has left this phone for greener pastures.

As a footnote, seeing CM7 fly on the Fascinate makes the current situation with the Charge that much more depressing. The internals on the Fascinate/Charge/Nexus S/all Galaxy S phones are really capable of quite a lot, and it blows my mind that (A) Samsung is perfectly content delivering such a shocking level of underperformance and (B) that people here are willing to defend that half-assery like it's their job. I definitely miss LTE and the Charge's non-PenTile display, but man, the performance difference between these two devices with the Fascinate cranking CM7 is really just night and day.

The Charge's relatively young age is a fair point. Like I said in my OP, I think it's going to be a really great phone someday. I'm just frustrated with how unreasonably ****ty the phone is currently, considering its sky-high retail price and Verizon's steep monthly rates. When the Charge becomes a good phone, it'll be a direct result of the hard work put in by the talented developers here and at Rootzwiki. Verizon and Samsung should be ****ing ashamed of the product they're pushing in the marketplace today, and you guys who paid top dollar for it like I did should be mad as hell. We're paying way too much money to be beta-testing a product while unpaid third parties work on fixing it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
My question is this:

The OP said "the phone is noticeably less responsive than a CM7 device with similar internals"

Are there any Verizon 4G phones that have an actual CM7 build? Not a port, I mean an actual build?

I could be wrong but I don't think there are any Verizon 4G devices that are actually supported by CyanogenMod so there's really nothing to compare this phone to in that regard.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
Slayer compiled cm7 from source, and merged the lte ril by himself pretty much. There's a cm7 bolt in my house, everything works, and it puts this phone to shame in terms of everything but screen.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
The RIL is the last big thing that's left for the Charge. Unfortunately, we have a different chipset than the bolt. :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
Yea. It's ok though. It's either going to happen, or its not. I'm not worried. :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
I've thought several times about doing this. I honestly wish I could go back to my white Fascinate. That thing was slim, pretty, and good enough. It could do everything the Charge could do minus LTE, which I barely use because of battery life. Too bad I sold my Fascinate.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MSHancock:
I have been on the Charge for 2 months now and have no problems at all. Phone is fast and 4G is fast. With the ext. bat I have I can go 2 to 3 days on a charge.

I think the problems some are having are because of the user, not the phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ace5198:
Humble 5 is amazing charge is now better than fascinate finally :) source code soon.. then the development will come
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Waiting on a final theme. Can it be flashed over EP3 Gummy? Gummy 2.1
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Yes. There is an all-in-one Odin that contains kernel and radios, and a CWM that just contains the base rom. If you're coming from another rom, you can just flash the Odin and be done.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Syn Ack:
Don't want to lose data :(
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
What are some of the common problems a user could make? Adding stuff, changing or adding code, need to re apply the kernel? Just trying to see if it was my fault on some of the issues.

blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
[Verizon Droid Charge] lane32x:
Probably don't want to mix n match 2 different ROMs then (ep3 and ep4) I've found many problems when using one ROM,another kernel and still another Radio. No real troubles running Humble 5 RC2 so far.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
It's the roms and kernels doing it. Radios are fine.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
It's the ROMs? Causing data drops?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
He said he had issues using different kernels with different ROMs. That's known to cause issues, for example using a FROYO kernel on gb will work, but stuff will be broken. Don't jump the gun trying to fix data drops. I wish it was that simple as i have the issue a ton.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ncwildcat:
Data drops are a part of life with the charge....not the roms or kernels or anything else.......its the device.
[Verizon Droid Charge] spc_hicks09:
Not all of them ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
And those people are lucky. Outside of the data issues, i love this phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
It's also the other LTE devices... ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] ilovesoad:
The thing is there's a tbolt in the house. It always has data. When I had one too it rarely dropped, and never below 1x. So it's not just a network issue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] DirgeExtinction:
Thing is, there's been people who have said such. Like everything, it effects some people, not all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
When I am in my home area (in upstate ny) I go weeks at a time with no data drops (and I use the hell out of my data, I stream audio all day long at work -either heart radio or Sirius radio)

Recently, I was on a business trip with my boss. We did run into areas where both of us dropped data at times. He has a BIONIC that is all stock and I'm using a Charge with the 2.3.6 TBH leak and imoyseyon 4.0 etc.

[Verizon Droid Charge] mariol90:
I'm having the same problems with my stratosphere, since they are basically the same phone would that make sense? at the moment, on 4G neither of the data arrows will light up, and the phone will just sit there acting like it has no data connection. then when it drops to 3G, the green sending arrow will light up a few times but nothing happens. my 3G has been having problems all day and i'm pretty sure it's not VZ's service. 4G only had issues once today before now.

oh look it just switched to 4G and now data is working.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Loustsoul:
I like my charge. I have changed everything about it. Roms, kernel, radio, theme, launcher, apps, keyboard, and even the smallest of things. The fact that I have 16+ hours a day battery life, and this thing has allowed me to fit it to my wants and needs is amazing. I think some people just don't try hard enough to get what they want. They just expect to change a rom or kernel and that should fix everything. I got my charge with a warranty exchange for my fassy as did my wife. While mine is nothing but custom and hers is out of the box stock, we both love our charge. I have had lots of android phones and each one has had its issues but overall you take the good with the bad. If you can't fix it yourself, then take it back to the store. To post just to see who you can get to argue with you about which phone is better is a waste of time and energy. If you don't like it and don't want to make the effort to use the tools the devs have supplied you to fix it yourself, then take it back. Stop wasting time talking about it and go get what you think is the best option for you. Everyone has an opinion and will give it to you if you ask, but to post negative comments on a forum that is set up for support of said product you are just looking for a reaction as apposed to finding help with the issues you are having. Just pack it up and take it back. Then you will be happy.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kalibar:
you'll sure did type a lot of words without really contributing anything useful or insightful

What ROM, radio, kernel, specific day to day usage, and coverage quality/type are you using to get 16+ hours?

[General Questions and Answers] Flandria4:
Hey guys,

I numerously tried updating my GT-I5800 to a 2.2 Froyo version but it didn't work. It kept hanging at the 'samsung' screen/logo and won't boot any futher, however, Odin said it was successfully flashed. After messing around a lot I downgraded back to the original firmware version. (I5800XWJG6, June 2010)

I tried these:

I5800XXJPQ

I5800XWJPF

I5800XXJPS

I5800XWJPK

All froyo 2.2 Europe, found at Samfirmware. (Can't post link yet.. I have to post at least eight times)

Is it just not possible to update for me to Froyo? Am I doing something wrong? I heard many others updated without any issues. I thought that the issue might be that I rooted my phone just before I updated the firmware but after resetting my phone it still doesn't work. Please don't link me to the post about updating an I5800, I know that post by heart.

Let me ask the question different: Are you a I5800 user and did you (successfully) flashed your 2.1 to 2.2? If yes, what version are you running?

Thank you very much,

F4

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacev:
Hi Guys,

I have a question/idea. Maybe its already done and you give me a hint on how to install it.

There are a bunch of apps that I really like but I dont like their security requirements like accessing Contacts, System settings, account data.

I agree that some may need it for their functionality, but some apps abuse it or have unnecessary rights.

I wonder if someone could write an app that intercepts those requests and returns dummy or empty data. For example, the app wants access to my contacts, it gets a dummy contact or an empty list returned but not my real list etc. Making the app think its is getting live data. The new app should allow to choose which app will get real and which get blank data or dummy data for sensitive things like accounts, contacts, system stuff.

That way the app would still work but my data is safe.

I guess it would almost have to work like a Rootkit hooking into system functions and figuring out the calling app.

Does this exist? Would this be something for CM7?

I read a lot of ppls reviews out there saying I am not installing this app until you remove such and such security right. This should be the best solution.

Let me know.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoso28:
This should be in Q&A.. And there is an app for this.. LBE or LBE Lite.. Also, yes it is a function of CM7. While I'm answering though, I will say that I block almost all permissions that are unnecessary and I've never had a problem with any of the 125 apps I use.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cr15py:
LBE vs CM7

Well, as outlined above, CM7 and LBE are the two best options. I figured I might as well outline the pros and cons of each.

CM7 Application Permission Removal:

Pros - Built-in, no popups, technically faster.

Cons - Not all-in-one interface per say, more annoying to set a large number of apps permissions.

LBE:

Pros - Available on more phones, popups allow you to decide on a situation by situation basis whether to grant permissions, all in one interface, nice looking UI.

Cons - Not built in, popups CAN be annoying, different color scheme from stock android.

P.S. I'm not sure if this happens for everyone, but it probably does just because of security system conflicts in CM7 and LBE, but LBE doesn't seem to be able to start and run on CM7, so you can't have the best of both worlds :(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spacev:
thanks guys for the quick responses!

I am trying LBE and so far like what I am seeing :)

THANKS!

Just wondering...

What is the accuracy you get when checking your location on the map while using only the mobile network (no GPS no Wifi)?

My DHD is positioning me approximately 0.5 km of my real location (using CM7.1). Checked in different places.

Edit: apparently this is normal according to: http://www.cens.ucla.edu/~mhr/cs219/location/trevisani04.pdf

But still: How accurate is your location?

Is there a way to improve this? Any one with experience in this issue?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaboobla:
Its not an issue... It uses cell towers near you to estimate your location. Depending on where you are and how close towers are, it will be better or worse. If you need precise location, turn on your gps.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Interesting.

What apps are you trying to install?

Perhaps they're corrupted?

Try an adb push.

adb push appname.apk /data/app/

You may have to reboot but that might do the trick.

You can also try an apk installer (or manager).

These apps aren't (gasp) protected are they?

[HTC Amaze 4G] rastx:
Possible Solution

Found the solution to my problem. Apparently when it's enabled, the Screen Filter app was preventing the side loading of applications. When I disable Screen Filter, I can side load my apps and the Amazon App Store installs applications normally. I no longer have to reboot. Hope this helps. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] nguyendqh:
That would explain why restarting the phone solved the problem, temporarily.

Until of course we all enabled "Screen Filter" again and then it would stop working.

[HTC Amaze 4G] ericdjobs:
This is actually because of the application "Screen filter"

It's actually a security measure build into Android. It's so an application cannot 'trick' you into installing malicious software. (ie. let's say screen filter was hacked to swap the cancel/install buttons.. to make "cancel" appear as "install" etc)

Basically any app that overlays the entire screen disables the install button from working, for added security.
