[Verizon Droid Charge] AnUnseenHope:
I did the same thing. They sent me a nexus as well, but i have signal and connectivity issues with it. Sitting in one spot, it will go from 4 with 4G to 0 bars with an X. Where with my DC, i kept 4 bars and 4G in that same spot. I have both, a DC and a GN. It seems like the connectivity issues with the GN is a big/common problem unless you get the 1% that isn't defective. I've never had as issue with signal/connectivity with any of my DCs, just the static/popping, with the exception of my current DC.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stebomurkn420:
I'm calling in the morning to complain about my popping and squealing... I hope I get a nexus....!!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] danstar:
I have a DC that is 11.05. I don't get the squeal, but I do get the static and popping. Do they replace it right at the verizon store, or do they send out the replacement?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
I have one that's 11.05. I didn't notice the squeal pre-FP1 because I use mainly bluetooth for calls. Since loading FP1 (and Eclipse 2.0), I've noted the wonderful squealing noises in calls, including once or twice through bluetooth, though that seems exceedingly rare.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stebomurkn420:
Just got off the phone with Verizon... my galaxy nexus is now in the mail... I talked to a representative for about 2 minutes and he diagnosed the problem as a speaker issue...? Lol. I'm thinking his quick response may have to do with the 4 other LTE devices on my account... and the 280 dollar bill I pay every month!!! Lol... man o man... this was my very first smartphone and I do love it but, I'm not gonna lie, its not that hard to part ways with it for a nexus... by the way, my hardware version for the charge is 11.05
[Verizon Droid Charge] sasquatch080:
I got an 11.07 version anybody else? I get small amount of cracking, but not too loud. Anybody get a replacement with that version?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
I emailed support earlier after posting in this thread (and realizing I'd started having the issue on bluetooth as well as handset/speakerphone). I'm hoping for the same result. It's been a great phone for me, without a doubt, but if I can get away from the squeal and get a Nexus at the same time, I'll jump on it in a heartbeat.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I have version 11.04 and I have NEVER had any cracking, popping, or hissing. My charge only drops data when it's obviously in a low signal environment, and has been much improved since the introduced GB.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tazer2death:
I lost my popping and cracking somewhere along the lines. Do they make you do anything with your old phones? Like returning them? Because I wonder if you would want to go back to stock before hand. I thought rooting voided the warranties.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ztkryan:
It does you have to go back to stock before you return the phone to Verizon
[Verizon Droid Charge] stebomurkn420:
Definitely.... lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] wampus:
Mine is 11.04

I have had occasional, very loud squealing during phone calls, both before and after the FP1 update.

My DC is now rooted, running stock FP1. Should I unroot before I call Verizon?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I am on 11.05 with no screeching /squealing issues.

Sent from my handheld computer using electromagnetic radiation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kj1060:
I have 11.05 and I get popping and screeching when I receive calls. Every call I receive about 30-40 seconds into the conversation then it occurs about every 20-30 seconds after the initial one. It has been getting worse the past few months. Needless to say I am very unhappy.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
My CLNR is version 11.04. We will see if there's a problem with this one.
[Verizon Droid Charge] CGfreak102:
I got 11.12 been having data drops like a mug the past 2 weeks, times where 4g just wont connect and 3g will drop and never return. Tried flashing different modems and roms but still no luck. Waiting to hear back from my service ticket.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
Oh, the good news just keeps coming. Now none of my three computers will recognize my phone to Odin back to stock. They'll recognize the new phone just fine, though.

[edit: Well, SamsungPST's port scanning saved me. For some reason, regardless of what drivers I installed, my computers wouldn't recognize that a device was even being plugged in. Once I loaded up SamsungPST and hit "Read General Information", it started searching the USB ports. When it hit the one my phone was in, the computer started installing drivers. After that, Odin connected fine. Strange.]
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
Glad to here you got it working ....

SENT FROM THE DOG POUND
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
Well, I've only had one 15-minute call so far, but I didn't have a single squeal on the 11.04 during that call. I'm not confident the issue won't happen on this phone, but I'll tell you that this 11.04 is a ton better than my 11.05. 11 and a half hours, including an hour and a half of screen on, and it's only down to 70% battery. It's the same battery, too, since all they shipped me was a phone shell.
[Verizon Droid Charge] killerapl:
Wife has 11.04 and has not had the static/squeal. She has had random reboots though. She is completely stock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] B.klewis:
Remote Diagnostic tool?

When you called and told them about your issues, did they insist on using the remote diagnostic tool? I've had a few static issues but mainly constant data dropping and I'm getting fed up with it.

I want to call tonight as this is my second Charge and I still am having issues with it, I just want to make sure I call and they want to use the diagnostic tool and I don't have it installed. I'm running Tweaked 2.1.

Should Odin back to stock FP1 before I call or take my chances and hope they don't require the tool.

Thanks,

-BL
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
You have it installed (it's integrated the same as mobile hotspot), but it's strictly opt-in. They can't access it unless you give them permission.
[Verizon Droid Charge] B.klewis:
Thanks for the quick response, I just installed it just to be on the safe side. I normally remove all the bloat from Big Red..this is the first time I re-installed it. Hopefully I don't have to use it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ITGuru48051:
I have 11.07 on 2 charges (wife's and mine). Both have the cracking and popping. Looks like I am going to call big red tonight!
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlenP:
I had 11.07, which had the occasional screeching sounds. I finally called and got it replaced. They sent me a 11.08, buy it also has screeching issues, although it sounds a little different.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Reilly1812:
11.05 with no problems.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlenP:
Well, after my replacement still had a screeching issue, I called in and after not accepting a 3rd Charge, they offered me the Rezound or the Galaxy Nexus. I went with the Nexus, I hope I made the right choice.
[Verizon Droid Charge] isutommyt:
When you get a new phone and make that switch, do you lose the unlimited data plans? I might need to call Big Red.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
For replacement devices, your plan doesn't change at all.
[Verizon Droid Charge] AlenP:
No, I got to keep my unlimited plan. It's a warranty replacement, and you're not renewing your contract, so nothing in your plan changes.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tazer2death:
So if they can't offer a Nexus what would everyone go for? I have about 6 tabs open and I can't seem to tell which phone would be best. I wasn't looking for a while so now I'm clueless.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
From the lineup in roughly the same release time frame, I'd go for a Rezound. Just disable Beats and that's a damned-near perfect package.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Ignore this post..
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
Funnily enough, I received my Nexus today. The guy who ordered it screwed up the order for the battery and back cover, so I had to call VZW about that. While on the phone with VZW, I got some crazy popping/crackling noises. I'd never had that with my original Charge... only the squeal. This was on the 11.04 version replacement Charge. I guess it was mad at being replaced so quickly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] wampus:
I got my CLNR Nexus replacement last week. It's getting the same squeals.

This probably belongs in the Nexus forum, but just for completeness, my squealing Nexus is 11.11
[Verizon Droid Charge] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
i've had the popping/static on 11.05
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tazer2death:
I used to get it like crazy but its gone away and I can't get it back. Don't want to call in if I don't actually have a problem. 11.05.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Shade21:
I literally just got verizon to send me a rezound for my wife's charge. It took 2 representatives to do it the first 1 try to bull**** me. He said that they don't do it anymore because of the manufacturers then the second 1 did it without me even asking. she offered me an lg spectrum htc thunderbolt and a htc resound
[Verizon Droid Charge] BleedsOrangeandBlue:
lol, did you just hang up on the first one?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tazer2death:
And are you guys doing this after a few replacement Charges or just right away switching devices?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jager420:
I've had a total of 3 replacements since I got my phone over a year ago
[Verizon Droid Charge] Shogun_Iggy:
The charge is a great phone minus this issue
[Verizon Droid Charge] kj1060:
First phone unknown, 11.05 on second (static when receiving calls), 11.05 on third (no static when receiving calls), 11.08 on fourth (static when receiving calls).
[Verizon Droid Charge] Hawk03:
My original is an 11.05 and the replacement I received yesterday is an 11.04. I had all the squealing, crackling and popping with my original. I will update if I still have problems with the 11.04.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GoBlue13:
My Original Charge was 11.05, first replacement was an 11.07 and 2nd replacement an 11.08. Finally got offered a Rezound and 4 days in, couldn't be happier!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] tsgeek:
On my 3rd Charge. First was, I believe, 11.05. Replaced with 11.08 in November. The 11.08 was just replaced with 11.04 today, due to popping/cracking/static on the caller's end at least 2x per day. Today's 11.04 is a lemon, only occasionally connecting to VZW cell network, and the LTE up and down constantly. Charge #4 shows up tomorrow. I assume my 11.04 is just a lemon, and that the issues I'm having today are not indicative of normal 11.04 experience. I'll update based on what arrives tomorrow.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Has anyone received a 12.xx version? I had one that was pretty good in regards to call quality, though there was an interesting hue to the screen that took a bit to get used to I suppose.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Hawk03:
I'm sending back my 11.04, the phone is more difficult than my original one. The replacement wouldn't even charge in my car dock, must be a usb issue, as the org didn't have this issue. I didn't talk on it long enough to see if it had the noise issues.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tsgeek:
Latest replacement showed up. 11.04 again, but this one doesn't have the immediate problems. I did have a problem with not being able to send/receive anything cell-based (phone calls, texts), BUT the status bar showed that the signal was fine. Signal strength was somewhere in the -84 range. Once I knew what was happening, a simple reboot solved it. If this was a one-time anomaly, then fine. If it happens again, this one will have to go, too.

Anyone else had that problem -- where the phone shows a strong cell signal, but you can't send or receive calls and texts?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Anomaly. Actually, I've had that happen to me, but it's because I was torrenting at the time.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rice923:
Where are you guys getting this hardware version info from? I went to "about phone" and found nothing except the hardware model number
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
They're using the version under the battery, which I later learned was actually the build date. "11.04" means the phone was manufactured in April 2011. I can't say for the Charge anymore, but on my Nexus the hardware version is listed under baseband in the about screen. My Nexus is an "i515.09", which is a "09" hardware revision. I don't know if it's the same for the Charge or not.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rice923:
Thank you. Needed to know so I can call in today regarding some hardware rattling and the occasional earpiece white noise.

Edit: Great... apparently I was out of warranty last month... words cannot describe how great it is to hear such news
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chocoburger:
Hello XDA, first time poster, long time lurker! :o

So long story short, I bought a used Droid Charge off Swappa, because I had to give my original Droid Charge to my Dad. My original was 11.04 and I used it for 13 months and it almost never crackled/popped or had any noise disturbance issues. If it did, it was so rare, that it was not a problem for me. The original Charge, was fine on both Froyo and GB and on stock ROM as well as Tweakstock and Tweaked2.0.

However this replacement Charge (only used Tweaked 2.2 on it), which is also 11.04 I've only had it for 10 days, and I haven't spent much time talking on the phone yet, until today when I had my first long conversation. And this phone was completely abhorrent! It was a constant stream of crackles and popping, in fact it got so bad at one point that it popped (each 'pop' is actually two loud sounds back-to-back) 5 times within the time span of 15 seconds. Unbearable!

I hung up and recalled my friend and it was even worse this time, so I rebooted and it still persisted, I rebooted and it happened yet again. I rebooted yet again and lowered the volume down and it stopped happening... I'm guessing that this is not a ROM issue, right? So flashing back to stock will not help me in any way?

Will Verizon do anything about this phone since I bought it off Swappa and not from them? What about my original Charge (gotten from Amazon through Verizon 14 months ago), even though it's out of warranty, will they just decline me?

Finally, is it confirmed if this is a hardware or software issue?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Supposedly the next update fixes it. Whether it actually does has yet to be seen since none of us have gotten it yet.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chocoburger:
I thought the Charge was 'end of life' and won't be getting anymore updates? So does this mean it is a software issue and not a hardware issue?

I'm on the phone right now talking to my friend and the crackling/popping is happening every few minutes. It forces me to use speaker phone, but it's still a horrible experience.
[Verizon Droid Charge] strictlyphat:
Just an update to my dilemma. I had this charge for 5 days from my sister about a year old. Verizon just approved me to get swapped to a BIONIC. It is a software issue and the new update fp5 will fix it but they don't know when its gonna be released. I had to go through tier 1 and tier 2 tech support then to a manager to get phone swapped. Just my experience. Good luck to all.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flymohovercraft:
I found a supposed "safe" list of stock apps to delete and foolishly started firing them in the bin only to find that the messaging icon had not only vanished from the home tray but the option to replace it with a new shortcut had too.

I guess one of the apps deleted was responsible for that. Can any of you boffins figure out which i need and where to get it? The dangers of rooting sigh.......
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beez1717:

Thanks for replying but im sorry. Maybe im a noob. I did make a nandroid but a couple of months ago and i wanted my system the way it was the other day. Dont know how to use ftfs or how they would particularly apply here. If i was to extract a copy of the current system id still be missing the messaging app wouldnt i? Is there not simpler apk method maybe or something that doesnt involve code/commands.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] SoonerLater:
My Droid Razr Maxx is my third Android phone in three years. My last phone (Samsung Droid Charge), when I put it in Airplane Mode, it did not disable the GPS -- which is exactly the way that it should work IMHO. Anyway, I use my phone as a GPS unit in remote wilderness areas which are miles from the nearest cell tower. On a 15 hour hike, it's a ridiculous waste of battery life to allow the phone to keep searching for a cell tower that it's not going to find (or even worse, finding a 1x tower connection that is very weak and intermittent). I need to be able to turn off all cellular communication (voice and data), but leave GPS running. On my Droid Charge, just putting it in airplane mode would do that, but on the Maxx, Airplane Mode also kills the GPS.

On a rooted Maxx with 100% stock ROM, is there a way to modify this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] geesoos:
I think that the easiest solution in your case would be removing the sim card.

Tapatalked
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SoonerLater:
Thanks for the suggestion, but not very practical. I need a software solution. The SIM is tiny enough that I'd lose it about the 3rd or 4th time that I did that. But thanks anyway for replying.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Team420:
use the power control widget to toggle it on/off, after switching to airplane mode :-)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] arisgoku:
putting ur phone to airplane mode disables gps but there is nothing stopping you from re-enabling it while in airplane mode
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Use a Smart Action to disable whatever you want instead Airplane mode.

Just set an action: Meeting, Driving, Taking a snap.. :D (use the time trigger)

Then set

Disable wi-fi, 3g, background sync, etc.

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vincentlodato:
Or instead of airplane mode just shut of all radios with phone info app
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Topher227:
I just tried Airplane Mode and looked in GPS settings, they were all on. I opened maps and it located me within a few seconds. Am i missing something??

EDIT: I am on a rooted MAXX, 100% stock rom.

I just tried it on my Maxx and switching to Airplane mode did not turn off GPS !!!

When attempting to open the program I presented this.

"file "sc" is missing or corrupt

Your PC window ENV is damaged and should be repaired.

At least one default system file is missing, corrupt

or the windows pc env has been otherwise compromises.

The hack kit quits before damage is done to your phone.

Retry with a diferent PC or try a 32 bits Ubuntu Linux LiveCD."
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Please read the OP of the hack kit thread. It says if you have an issue to hit up the IRC chat channel. Those guys are usually around to help.

Its best to go straight to the source then open a thread and get several different answers.

I have never seen that before....but just for the sake of your phone run the kit from a liveCD. If your PC Is not working properly, You will et stuck.
[HTC EVO 3D] monkey3ddd:
I was having some weirdness, so i flashed a 2.17 img. I had 1.4 Rev off before and now I get this. I try to go to recovery and it goes to a picture of my phone with a red exlamation by it.

What are my options?
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
You still have S-Off and HBOOT 1.40 so all you gotta do is flash a recovery zip. I recommend twrp 2.1. Just follow the instructions there and you should be good to go.

From recovery you can flash a new ROM.

yeah that worked, thanks!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
So is it simply a launcher, as in an apk or is it an actual rom with its own framework and whatnot?

Also I guess a hint that points to a "soon to be" U.S. market is the fact that all the pics have English text. Whether that means much or not....

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mackotter:
Just set up an RMA for a broken rear camera (nolonger works green lines) Asus customer service informed me the warranty policy for the transformer prime has been changed to one way shipping only. Customers are now expected to cover the cost of shipping the prime to Asus and they will ship it back. Anyone else aware of the change?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clenz:
I would definitely call BS on that and raise a stink for them to cover shipping both ways. Contact ASUS_USA and see if Tien can help.

Been this way for a while, not unusual as most companies make you pay to ship it to them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
I just go mine back from RMA. Sent it on June 6th and Asus paid for the shipping both ways. I did have to pay for extra packing as I didn't just want to send it in the original packaging alone. I think you need to call them back and speak with a supervisor.
