[Verizon Droid Charge] jmorton10:
I think there must be a bunch of defective phones out there doing this. I have never once had this happen to me, but I do way more texting than actual talking on the phone.

The business owner where I work is the exact opposite however. He is one of those guys who walks around with his phone constantly glued to his ear (he has 4 Gorilla batteries) & it has never happened to him either.

I asked him about it yesterday & he had no clue what I was even talking about.

[Verizon Droid Charge] didureboot:
What I've noticed isnt so much a blaring of static as the other person im talking to sounding like they are trying to talk through a muffled microphone. Something like they have the microphone on their phone wrapped in a sweater and they are trying to talk through it. I cant understand half of the people I talk to.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mhemu:
I had this problem but the recent leaked OTA update: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364298 fixed it for me. It's the first time anything gingerbread has been on my phone without the issue. A 15min call to my gf after the update produced a clean call with no deafening static/popping/crackling. I was worried for a second though cause she started unwrapping xmas decorations that were wrapped in tissue paper. There's a full odin of the EP4D release here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365376 should resolve the issue for those not running stock EE4 (though I haven't tested this yet, if you do use it report back if it works).
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Also check out

this thread

for not only a cwm version of the OTA ep4d but also a modem updater file that can patch your modems to EP4D - they just need to be EE4 prior to flashing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mhemu:
So I used the odin of the debloated/deodexed/rooted ep4d (the one I posted in my original response above, created by danalo) last night, first call I make today I get the static.
[Verizon Droid Charge] killerapl:
Sucks!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] mhemu:
I went back to stock, going to see if the over the air works. So far the only resolution is to go back to stock and the manually run the update to ep4d.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mhemu:
So, got the static after going to stock and doing the manual update...wtf. Decided to go back to stock and see if the OTA was ready...it was...got static...wtf.

Looks like I will be getting in touch with Verizon and see what my options are, sounds like some other people with the issue have had verizon admit there's an issue and have been compensated. I won't go into the details of what others have done, but I will say I don't plan on giving them more money than I already did for this phone. I'll report back when I have a resolution.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Jmjohnson1717:
Ya its allot better but definitely still there. I was really hopping this would get fixed and at first it seemed good but after a few calls I got the static. I'm not sure what to do with it now. I've gone back to completely stock and took the update and it's still there.
[Verizon Droid Charge] killerapl:
same here........on the phone with verizon.........useless troubleshooting.......transferred to tier 2 tech.......getting a replacement......hopefully replacement fixes it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] executor485:
Gotta love some CLN refurbs... :lol:
[Verizon Droid Charge] mhemu:
Well I'm officially going insane (and possibly deaf), issue happens now on every type of call. Speakerphone, normal, bluetooth (my one safety), wired hands free. haven't had time to deal with an exchange so I'm getting it all the time. Guess vining to verizon so I could actually make calls wasn't such a good idea.

Has anyone that's posted been able to make anything happen with verizon?
[Verizon Droid Charge] killerapl:
I received my replacement......no static so far!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] SuperFan86:
I've been having this issue regardless of ROM. Got the Charge on nearly day 1 of its release as a replacement for the Fascinate. I'm going to call and complain and refuse another Charge based on the poor performance I've had with my last 2 Samsung phones. I'll update with my results.
[Verizon Droid Charge] pice:
I had to get a replacement charge due to 3g/4g modems going out in the phone and losing all data except for wifi. After getting the CLN charge about a week ago I've yet to have any static thought the headset, speaker phone, or BT headset. Idk if they change something in the phones or if i just got lucky with the replacement but having good luck so far.
[Verizon Droid Charge] SuperFan86:
This seems to be a way to reproduce the issue.

Update on my status: After Verizon Tier 2 support's "master reset" soft bricked my phone last night they are sending me a new Charge. I'll be complaining about it from day one to encourage them to provide me with some different hardware.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I just tried that about of dozen times and couldn't reproduce it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Double post
[Verizon Droid Charge] SuperFan86:
I tried that too, and it didn't seem to reproduce it on my phone. My static seems to be more random than the one in the link I originally posted. Mine occurs more often in low service situations than when I'm on solid bars, however it still happens randomly on full 4g.

Still waiting on my replacement handset, others have said they are being offered a variaty of other handsets from the Bionic to the Nexus or Rezound as replacements after complaining of a faulty replacement. I've been through 2 different bad Samsung phones in the last year (Fascinate and now the Charge) and am really considering a jump ship to HTC at this point.
[Verizon Droid Charge] RiotShooter:
My phone does this occasionally but I'm wondering if it is even worth it to try and go get a new phone. The new phone could still have the problem and then I would have to keep dealing with support to try and get me a different phone. Isn't it rumored they are going to stop selling the Charge and as a result we could get a new phone like the Nexus?
[Verizon Droid Charge] weeple2000:
I am experiencing this issue. I bought my phone a couple days before Verizon ended their unlimited data. I think it might be related to low signal strength. It just started happening recently however. I used to be stock, no isssues then, then I was running GummyCharged, and had no issues. Now I am on Humble so I am wondering if it is related to ROMs or Radios.

For those who replaced their phones, do you just reflash stock and not tell them you had a different ROM on it?
[Verizon Droid Charge] executor485:
It seems to be an issue related to GingerBread. There is one person that shows an issue with Froyo, which actually surprises me, but the vast majority only reported/identified a problem with GB (be it official or not). I'm leaning towards something in GB and not a radio issue. I had tried a lot of different routes, but the radios loaded on Froyo didnt cause it to static.
[Verizon Droid Charge] weeple2000:
I just wanted to update that I went in to Verizon and they swapped my sim card and that seems to have fixed the issue.
[Verizon Droid Charge] weeple2000:
Sorry that wasn't the fix. Please see my other post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21030969&posted=1#post21030969

I think its a bad idea to keep updating both threads so I'll just post there for future reference.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Toxygene:
Get the issue

I have the issue and I'm on a totally stock Verizon Droid Charge. It didn't start until the previous update though. They just pushed down another update and I still have the issue though. I was hoping the update would fix this issue. In fact my battery life and overall performance of the phone dropped with the previous update. The latest update helped a little with battery life but I still get the "blow your eardrum out" static.

Interestingly, I used to have the same exact issue with my old HTC Windows Mobile phone.
[HD2 General] jethzkie:
good day to all sir, any one can help me about hd2 T-Mobile, it have android os before i recieved it,but when I flash to to windows firmware like this:

(HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HTC_ARA_1.66.415.4_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship)

100 % done, but the device no power now,cant put to bootloader, totally no power the phone now, any suggestion sir about my problem... thanks in advanced sir... :confused::confused::confused:
[HD2 General] Mister B:
If that is the TMOUS HD2 (T-Mobile USA) version then you have bricked it with the ROM you flashed.

The radio in that ROM 2.06.51.07 would kill a TMOUS HD2 leaving it to require stripping of motherboard for JTAG repair attempt.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yeap Mister B is correct. You flashed radio version 2.06.51.07 to a T-MOUS HD2. All radio versions with a 51 where the 51 is in the radio version you flashed are a instant brick for a T-MOUS HD2.

JATG is the only thing that will de hard brick a HTC HD2. If I was you I would start looking for someone in your part of the world or in another part of the world that you can get to JTAG your HD2. I know someone but they live here in the US. If you can not find someone in your part of the world PM me and I will but you in contact with the person I know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OJ in Compton:
Does anyone have any experience with Samsung USA's service department to get service for a phone purchased overseas? Since it seems us GSM users are being left to kick rocks when it comes to getting a Galaxy Nexus here, I'm wondering if it's possible to import one without the worry that I wouldn't be able to fix it if it broke or was shipped as a lemon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
I can tell you that Samsung wouldn't honour warranties for UK customers who had bought the grey-imported SLCD version of the Nexus S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
they will not warrant any phone purchased else where
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
This is my fear for importing the phone. Are there any other options? I really want to import this phone, but I'm very hesitant to spend around $700 and have no type of warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
i know with tmobile if you have there insurance they will replace it with a current equivalent. I do not see why samsung will not honor a warranty covered defect no matter where it is sold
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
They didn't honour the warranty for the SLCD version of the Nexus S that was grey-imported to the UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
im talking here in the U.S....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
ohh i forgot, the US is special...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
not saying that... its just like any other thing you buy samsung. tv, monitor , laptop, etc. 1 year manufacturers warranty on defects
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
yeah...which you would've thought would apply to the SLCD version of the Nexus S...but it didn't.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_s#History_and_availability
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
ive bought alot of devices from overseas basically your localised companies will not do warranties, instead you have to contact in this case samsung UK get an RMA form then mail the device back to samsung uk and they do the repairs/replacement and send it back.

now as for uk stores some will handle this for you such as clove in that case you contact clove and they help you with the RMA process

i find it kinda strange no one has had to do this before or just says no warranty :\

having said that they will not honor the usual user damage instead you will have to pay to get that fixed (ie water damage or negligence)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nyijedi:
Thanks for sharing this. This is good news, as I just want to be assured that if something w/ the phone goes bad, I'll have somewhere to send it to be repaired.

When ever i open tye program it goes directly to my phone and dials a #225
[Android Apps and Games] robbio87:
Hey cory,

The app doesn't contain any screens, that's why it goes directly to your phone and dials a specific number(based on your network). I did this to make the app as quick and easy as posible.

What country are you in? And what network are you on? :confused:

#225

That's the number I have programmed for AT&T network in the US (Plus a couple of different networks)

If that number is incorrect, then please let me know the correct number/code so I can update it for you.

Robbie :)

Can you add Indian provider ? Tata Docomo

Code to check balance is *111#
[Android Apps and Games] moe6:
Emailed you the USSD code for DiGi in Malaysia.

I've also just realised that I could put a direct-dial contact shortcut that does this also, just no fancy widget that updates automatically :D
[Android Apps and Games] robbio87:
Hi rahulducheria,

Thanks for the request. The app already supports Tata in India. And it uses *111#... If it isn't working, then please let me know and I'll try and fix it. :D

Hi Moe,

I've already replied to your email, but just incase you havent read it....

The USSD code you gave to me is for Post-paid users. But the app is only for Pre-paid users. And I have found that *126# is the USSD for Prepaid users of DiGi in Malaysia.

I will add this in the next update. :)

It's not a widget at the moment... :(

But yes, you could easily add it as a contact onto your home screen. But then again, it's a free app with no ads and is 32kb in size, so it's not too much hassle to download! :D

Thanks for the comments guys

[EVO 4G General] stamason:
First of all Thanks to everyone for all the help. and sorry to throw all this out at once.

Got my Evo 4G all rooted and set up. Running Decks. Was wondering what would be the best kernel/setting for this ROM to optimize battery life. As it seems to be dropping quicker then when i had it at OTA (might just me be watching more closely), but just wondering. Also from what i have found there are not any custom ROMs that support 720p recording, I would have to go back to OTA for that correct?

A quick question about emulators. Is there one that does all (NES, SNES, GB/GBC/GBA)? or do i need a separate app for each one?
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
There are custom ROMS that support 720P, just none of the newer ROMS.

Most of the older Froyo based did and you may want to read the OP's on the newer GB ROMS.
[EVO 4G General] agemyth:
I'm no expert on the art of ROMing, but since all the new ROMs are based on the source of other phones (ones with different cameras and ways of interfacing with them) it is very unlikely all the "hot" new ROM's out there will support 720p recording for a while at least.

Although I've flashed most of these before, I never actually checked if they recorded 720p, but ROMs like these probably have most of the features of the EVO fully functional:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeartFan40:
It sounds like you flashed a GT9100 ROM on an AT&T Galaxy S 2 (i777). If this is the case, you can go to the AT&T SGS2 forum and download the Hellraiser mod and the haptic feedback home button fix. Then boot into recovery and flash hellraiser first, then haptic fix, then reboot your device and all should be well. If you're on a GT9100, you probably have a bad install. Try performing a full wipe (data wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe) then re-flash the ROM again. That should take care of things. Good luck.

I do not own a Kindle Fire yet I understand that Kindle Fire technically runs 2.3. Since sideloading is good to go, has anybody tried running an alternate home screen launcher? I know it won't look at good as a tablet running honeycomb, but at least it will have more tablet look. My wife is on the fence about getting either an Acer A100 or this Kindle Fire. Oh and she is not computer literate and thinks that root is the part of the tree that resides under the ground. Thanks everybody!
[Kindle Fire General] smtom:
I was able to load Go launcher on mine - it looks nice.

My wife is also technically challenged - that said, it's technically her device, she preferred the native launcher - I do too.

Why? For her the ease of 'click to launch' all in one place rather than scrolling through screens.

Fwiw, my kids were able to turn on the device and navigate - the out-of-the-box carousel launcher is quite intuitive.

I found it (native launcher) launched the apps faster, actually - although ymmv - hence my preference for the native launcher.
[Kindle Fire General] cheetablaze:
Interesting, thank you for your time and input regarding this matter. I probably will download the app that will help my wife switch between go launcher and the native launcher app for the kindle. I'm running go Launcher on my SGS II so she should have zero issues customizing it to her likings.

Thanks again for your assistance!

[Kindle Fire General] sl0ttedpig:
I tried Go Launcher, but didn't like it that much. Having used ADW on my Droid for a long time I decided to try it out, and I have to say I much prefer it.

I even have Beautiful Widgets running on it too.

However, a couple of problems I've seen.

1. I can't create folders?

2. There is no GeoLocate (even for WiFi), so I can't get the weather working. Anyone get this working or have any tips?

Passing on a little tip for those that haven't rooted and don't have the Android Market running. Beautiful Widgets requires the Market for themes/skins etc. What I've found is that if I download to my phone, and then copy the contents of /data/beautifulwidgets/scskins, skins and wskins to my Kindle, I am able to select the widgets. :)
[Kindle Fire General] leyvatron:
