[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Themes and Apps] AaronStrickland:
Ive been using this game for awhile now on my G Tab and my Samsung Infuse with no issues. But last couple days only on my tab when i go to play online matchup its really slow and sluggish. But only online play. Its fine on my phone on wifi too, so any ideas? I tried closing the app, rebooting, disc and rec my wifi, stopping running apps that use a bit of memory, but no luck. Anyone else ever have any issues like this? Any info would be great. Thanks

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SweetBearCub:
I've started taking my NC1 to the gym with me to watch stuff while I'm on the bike. (Cartoons, lol) After playing 6 episodes, totaling 2 hours, 7 minutes, and 42 seconds, my NC1 has used 36% of it's battery, with 64% remaining.

The files are encoded with Xvid @ 1031KBps, with MP3 audio @ 48Khz/128KBps, played through RockPlayer with software decoding.

Screen brightness is @ about 40%. My CPU has been under-volted as far as it will go, with max speed set @ 800 Mhz. CM 7.1 stable.

Thanks!

I love the Droid Charge's hardware, I really do. Those first-gen Galaxy S PenTile AMOLED displays drove me nuts, LTE is the effing truth, and thankfully, the Wolfson DAC is just as killer as it was last time around -- I came from a Vibrant on T-Mobile.

As you can probably imagine, I'm loathe to give up LTE. And I've got incredible respect for the work that imnuts, imoseyon, the GummyCharged bros, and all the other developers here and at RW are putting into this phone to make it usable -- seriously, you guys are awesome. But the day-to-day with this phone is just wearing on me hard, and I really miss the serene world of stable CyanogenMod. These days, my battery will randomly choose days to die before I'm even home from work, the GPS chip doesn't seem any better than the Vibrant's was, the phone is noticeably less responsive than a CM7 device with similar internals, I still occaisionally get launcher redraws, and though it's improved considerably with EP3HA I still sometimes get data dropouts.

I know it's the same **** you guys all complain about, I guess I just wonder if anyone else has literally gotten so frustrated with it that they gave up the sweet nectar of LTE to get the hell away from this disaster of a software implementation. I joined the Galaxy S party late in the Vibrant's lifespan so I had a really positive experience thanks to all the great development people had done for it. I didn't really get the full flavor of "Samsung Disease" until this phone, and for chrissake, I can see why people were running the hate parade.

Has anyone else here gone back (or thought about going back) to an Ev-DO phone just for a better software experience? We can pretty much guarantee that the resale value of this phone is going to completely tank after the G-Nexus launches so I'm thinking it makes sense to get some cash out of it now. I literally won a clean ESN Fascinate auction on eBay last night for $81, so I'm psyched about that.

Incidentally I'll probably just buy another Charge for 81 dollars at this time next year after it's rocking official CM7. Then again, maybe the Galaxy Nexus will be cheap by then.

Thoughts?

Here's my thought: The grass is always greener. This is the Groundhog Day of phone forums.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
If you want to go back to a 3G phone, how about you set your Charge to 3G only? That way it behaves the same as a Fascinate.
[Verizon Droid Charge] diablospeed:
Cm7 is far from stable my friend. Try getting a nightly that doesn't play well with your kernal. Once you've bricked from this you will understand. In a year this will all be different. Phones are being released to developers first now to tweak them for the hard release. Think of it this way... The linux command for superuser, or "su" does not hurt the machine, but opens up commands to fine tune to the user's preferences. If we are given the base framework to recover to, there is no harm in supercharging the system, just so long as we can "reset" it in case of a system failure or resource exhaustion. Just wait until google buys MORE into samsung's development.

Speed rules...
[Verizon Droid Charge] edwards2243:
No kidding.. my thoughts exactly. This phone is without a doubt superior to the fascinate... then again, to each his own.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davwman:
As much as I love my rock solid stable fascinate tsm poolparty 1.5 with glitch v13 rc, Im moving on to the charge bought off funzy32. Why? because I got it for $185. I dont plan on having issues with the charge, because ive never had problems with any android device in three years which seems un-realistic, but Im sticking with my good luck reasoning. The charge in terms of development is still in its infancy. Hell, my first verizon device was an htc incredible and over a year later it is still being improved. I have absolute faith that the charge will be continually developed on. The fact is that it is not a low end device or a middle of the road device either. As many problems as the failure device known as the fascinate has. It currently has an Ics sdk port that from my understanding is pretty insane in its infancy. If the fascinate can make it, the charge will be doing the same.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Sleek69:
I'd go back in a second! Sadly I had to send in my fassy to get this garbage.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pc1990:
I was thinking the same thing a couple days ago. I miss my fassy a lot, but it had its issues like calls never coming in or texts not going out. 4g is unbelievably fast...didn't expect it to be this fast, it trumps home internet like many have said.

The fassy was the better phone overall though no doubt. I regret getting the charge as a replacement. I don't have any issues with it but it just doesn't feel right.
[Verizon Droid Charge] nowens0520:
You guys are quite the whiney lot.

OP, why don't you post what setup you were running so that maybe we could help diagnose your issues.

Obviously battery life on the Fascinate is going to be much better than on the Charge, with its larger screen and battery sucking LTE.

I've found the battery life to be tolerable on the Charge as long as I'm not doing anything ridiculous like streaming audio/video for long periods of time. I live outside of LTE service location so I have my phone set to CDMA only. As of right now, after a typical day of use (probably 30 texts, 30 minutes of Pandora streaming, 20 minutes of phone calls, and probably 3 solid hours of screen-on time while browsing) my battery has 40% charge after 7 hours and 20 minutes unplugged.

If your conscious about how you are using the battery it is pretty manageable. Turn off LTE when you don't need it. Turn off mobile data when you aren't using it. Switch onto a wifi signal when one is available. Turn off GPS when you're not using it. This is pretty common sense stuff.

As far as screen redraws, use V6 Supercharger. I used to be annoyed to no end because of redraws. Since loading the script, I've had maybe 4 redraws in about a month. I don't even notice it anymore.

Also, if you miss TSM, the latest GummyCharged has it. Just have to go over to Rootzwiki to get it, they don't care for xda anymore.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
This. I'm tired of people bashing this phone. Sure, it has some issues, but if you're that fed up with is just get rid of the phone. No sense in continuously *****ing about it.

[Verizon Droid Charge] SOTK:
Agreed. I really don't even understand the gripes. I guess its just me, but I believe this is hands down the best smartphone I've ever owned. Sure, I miss CM7 a bit which I too had on my fassy, but as I've heard mentioned before, what can the fassy do that the Charge cannot? Unless I'm being an absolute phone hog, I can easily go 12 hours a day without turning ANYTHING off. I don't get screen redraws, static phone calls, data drop offs, or any of the other complaints. I occasionally have some minor Rom nuances but you get that with just about any Rom and Android phone. I'm seriously loving my Droid Charge experience! I don't get the whining or the constant threads on this topic. If you don't like it, you don't need our approval to move on. Just get rid of the phone and move on already!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Fivecent:
... and people wonder why the Gummy team left XDA.

If you wanted a phone that ran CM7, why'd you buy a phone that didn't have it? You should be well aware of how development works, there are no guarantees. I just think it's hilarious that you're going to pay your own hard earned money to downgrade your phone just because your particular favorite toy isn't on there.

I mean sucks that you're having some relatively minor problems with your Charge, but the Fascinate was no angel either. Have fun with your dropped / missed calls, front buttons that push themselves and total garbage GPS lock times.

To be honest, it sounds like you know the game here, so I assume you did your homework before your bought it, so really, you have no one but yourself to blame.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jhonas:
Since when was usability a toy? Maybe it's his fault for buying a phone that doesn't have CM7, but it's not his fault the phone's stock firmware is garbage. Why are you all apologists for this device? Is it because you bought it? Do you guys go around, telling people how your phone is the best phone no matter what, all because you paid money for it and to do otherwise would make you feel stupid?

Just be honest. The phone kinda sucks. It'd be one thing if the battery life was just bad, but the fact that it varies from day to day is like having a car that gets 25mpg on some days and 12mpg on others. It's one thing to tolerate mediocrity, but to defend it is absolutely despicable. You all should be ashamed.

Multiple times, across multiple firmwares (humble, gummy, fe and gbe, infinity beta w/ ep3ha) I've had the phone lag at inappropriate times that resulted in committing an action that I absolutely did not want.

For example, and I think this was on Gummy 2.0 GBE (laughably bad compared to even the release candidates that came before it), one time I pressed the power button to wake the phone, and it didn't wake (I have a case that makes it so you have to push a little harder), so I pressed it again and it did. I then slid to unlock, but instead of that happening, the phone shut off. It was so laggy that it actually did detect the first power button press, and the second one I held slightly too long (which brings up the reboot/poweroff/silent/etc dialog) and when I thought I was sliding to unlock, the phone registered it as pressing the power off option on the popup dialog that hadn't yet appeared when I was trying to unlock the phone. Phone powers off. I tried to unlock my phone and instead got a powered off device.

That's ****ing unacceptable. It's 2011, we should have devices that are responsive and stable. But instead, we get a holocaust. This isn't my fault. This isn't kalibar's fault. It's Samsung's fault. We thought we could count on them to make something with perhaps not the best experience, but a passable one at least. And we weren't just a little wrong, we were really wrong.

If you honestly believe this phone is good, you've never used an iPhone. I'm not trying to start an Android vs iOS argument, but when it comes to having a phone with reliable battery life and a consistently responsive user experience, the iPhone never fails. And although I've heard the 4S has ****ty battery life at the moment, there is no doubt in my mind that it will actually get fixed because Apple actually gives a ****. In a year when you can run AOSP ROMs on this phone, I would bet money that the official offering from Samsung remains an abortion.

Anyone who claims to have no issues with this phone is either a liar, or a good majority of Droid Charges are lemons. Either does not bode well.

And stop called the Fascinate, "Fassy." It immediately reveals that you're a neckbeard virgin.

p.s. The Gummy team left XDA not because people complain about the shortcomings of devices but because people do things like irrationally defend utter crap and spout cringe-inducingly stupid nonsense.
[Verizon Droid Charge] davwman:
@jhonas, The phone is fairly new and the bugs will be worked out, I have complete faith in our developers.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Someone is an internet tough guy...

The Gummy Team left XDA from people like you just constantly whining about EVERYTHING. I don't have any problems with this phone beyond the battery life. That's it.

It's not like some of us defend our phones just for the hell of it...it's because we know this can be potentially a great phone. Things can take time. Look at how the FASSY (you mad?) was at the very beginning - everyone hated it. Now that it's a mature phone, it can be appreciated. Development for this device is in its infancy-unfortunately some people can't or won't see that and insist on bashing it.

[Verizon Droid Charge] landshark68:
First off, there are plenty of decaffeinated brands on the market that taste just as good as the real thing, think about it.

I don't believe fivecent was referring to usability as a toy. He was referring to CM7 as a toy. It didn't come pre-installed on the phone - it's an extra or a "toy." It is well known Samsung is notorious for great hardware and crappy software. If you and kalibar have been around on Android at all, you should have already known this. And if you didn't do enough research to find this out, shame on both of you. Albert Einstein said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In this case expecting Samsung to suddenly put out a phone with great software given their track record, I would call naive.

Apple isn't better at fixing things because they care more, it's because they only have on phone to work on. All other phone manufacturers prefer to offer customers options and choices. Apple tells it's sheeple (customers) this is what we make, you will buy it and like it.

The Charge was only the third LTE phone on Verizon. Like davwaman said, there are still bugs and they will be worked out. Verizon and all phone manufacturers are encountering occasional problems related to 4G LTE. No 4G LTE phone has a functional CM7 because of the 4G radios/RIL.

And TeamGummy and several other developers didn't leave XDA for either your reason or the other reason stated. It's not my place to say why they left. You can ask them yourself, which you obviously haven't done based on your post.

And finally, you've been a member here since 2007 and this rant is your first post? Really? Not one productive or helpful post before now?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
so much BUTTHURT lol

no but seriously I loved my FASSY and I love my Charge, sure they both have issues but are incredible phones none the less.. there are always problems and always will be as no phone is perfect, and this constant whining about how bad it is isn't helping anyone unless its an actual constructive question about how to fix something or why something's happening

Lufc or Scotsman where you at buddies, lock this thread up

[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
Chopping the rest because this is all I'm going to respond to. I came to this phone from an iPhone. You couldn't pay me to go back.

That is all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] StarmanDX:
I don't understand how this thread is still going on. We have a parade of "blame the OP" for daring to purchase the flagship Samsung Verizon phone and expecting it to actually work, then people pretending like a battery that goes 12 hours, barely, if you micro it, is perfectly acceptable, then we have people blaming other posters for not making enough nice posts before a rant?

Seriously, what the hell? The phone seems pretty crappy from all the reviews and I don't think that the OP was asking for people to leap in and white-knight it, I'm pretty sure he wanted opinions on things he would miss or whatever if he downgraded to a Fascinate.

(Honestly, "Fassy"? Makes you sound like you're 5.)
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
I just think that the majority (yes I said majority) of us that are perfectly happy with this phone are sick of the constant ***** fest from the vocal minority. People don't come to forums to talk about how happy they are with their phone. If they're going to review the phone, it's because they have some problem with it, so you are going to see a disproportionately high number of bad reviews, when in reality, most of us are perfectly satisfied with our purchase. Is this phone perfect? No, but it is the best phone I've ever owned, and I've owned most iPhones that have been sold.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kalibar:
Have you actually owned a good Android phone before? It's not normal to be forced to cover up **** like TouchWiz.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rand4ll:
After using touchwiz, blur, and sense, I like touchwiz the most, especially its newest incarnation. However I also feel the AOSP launcher is crappy. Yes it's fast but has very limited functionality. On AOSP roms I replace the launcher with ADW EX, same as I do with touchwiz because it's my favorite of them all. Many of Samsung's stock apps blown away aosp ones as well, calendar and camera off the top of my head

I don't have a problem with a phone review thread per se or a thread polling other members to see if problems a person is having with their phone is common place. These two things are perfectly acceptable and expected at a place like this; HOWEVER, I don't really see this thread as constructive hence his title about "ditching this turd burglar phone". He's *****ing. Furthermore, this thread isn't the first "review" (yes, using this term lightly) thread that is in existence here which is a pet peeve of mine and obviously many others are tired of this as well. A member should either add to one of the threads on this topic already or just read the other threads to gain insight.

I don't see anybody "white knighting" the Charge. Nobody is in denial that there are problems. No phone is perfect. Battery life could be better. AND, I do wish there were more Rom choices and better kernels BUT I'm willing to wait and understand that development takes time especially when the manufacturer ie taking their time. Further, I also knew what I was getting into when I got the Charge. I spent time researching before I got it. I also experienced the Fascinate before so knew there were bound to be some issues. I just don't feel sorry for people that expect the moon with a smartphone. Its completely unrealistic thinking.

Bottom line, get rid of the device if its so bad. Move on, but for Pete's sake, stop wasting our time with threads like these!
[Verizon Droid Charge] ncwildcat:
Ok then...so there are like 3 devs for this phone...

I can't wait for the nexus - I feel so stupid for getting rid of that thunderbolt that had lots of community support. The charge is the redhead stepchild of android as far as support goes. Never had much - wont have hardly any at all in the near future

[Verizon Droid Charge] davwman:
Ill say it again. The fascinate is over a year old and the charge is barely 5 months. The bugs will be worked out. And the zero data drops on an mtd based rom is bull, I have and every other mtd user has had it happen at least once on the fascinate.
[Verizon Droid Charge] andrewjt19:
There is a lot of work that has gone into the charge; there's some great roms out there and are faSt and efficient.
[Verizon Droid Charge] fortesquieu:
I'm not sure about any of you, but I came from Fascinate. The reason was because of missed calls (only notifications) and texts (didn't get sent sometimes). The problems with Charge are things like data drop.

I would rather have data drop than missed calls and texts not getting through.
