So... Biggest issue I have seen on this is battery life...

Losing anywhere from 15% and up a hour because of the radio or modem on this... Would flashing a new radio/modem fix this? Running with the FP5E modem.

Also, would possibly flashing Lazarus' kernel fix this issue as well? I'm on stock but never bothered to consider that it could also be the kernel...

Thanks for all help. :)
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
I get much better battery life on stock kernel. But certainly not as bad as 15% per hour on a custom one.

tappin' that....
[Verizon Droid Charge] deafptl4ever:


This is built on the stock kernel. Lazarus kernel has its own place with all the information you need on it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] QuentinX5:
Oh! I should also mention another issue it's having. It sometimes has this issue with phone calls and keeping signal, as if it lags connecting to the towers. Could this all be a radio issue, or is there something else here I'm missing?

*edit*

Forgot to mention that I am running the stock kernel. :P

Could bee a dirty SIM Card.. Had that issues before, and cleaning it fixed everything.

[Verizon Droid Charge] QuentinX5:
Wait... Do you mean hardware or software form of it? I mean, the SIM card could technically be cleaned by removing it and cleaning it, but it could also be cleaned by... I don't know the term to be precise, but somewhat of a format I would assume?

Though, I think the card being dirty might explain it. My girlfriend got the SIM card from her old Rezound, which went through two instances of being wet... If it is the card, and it is dirty or malfunctioned, do you think cleaning it would work, or would buying a whole new card possibly just make the problem easier?
[Verizon Droid Charge] tmanschuette:
I would try cleaning it with I clean fiber cloth, but they are only $10 if you end up needing a new one.

Not sure if it would be a rom or kernel thing so ill post here.

Is it possible to have something like the voodoo screen tuning run auto?

I have the original beta dev app love how it makes the screen look.

Was wondering wether thats a script or something that can be enabled from init. D maybe?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
curious to see if this has happened to anyone else:

after getting a new phone, I gave the Charge to my 7-year old son. Prior to giving it to him, I rebooted the phone into recovery and performed a data wipe/factory reset. I then flashed tweaked 3.2.

upon startup, I setup the phone under his gmail account and proceeded to add some apps for him. I also restore some previously paid apps via TiBu.

the phone was working fine, and then I decided to perform a fresh reboot. upon reboot, I noticed that my gmail account was setup on the device.

thus, I rebooted back into recovery, (made sure to mount system this time), and then wiped data/factory reset, and reflashed tweaked 3.2. everything working fine since then (also restored the paid apps as well).

I did noticed that the phone sort of froze after restoring one the amazon app store. but a reboot fixed that.

other than that, my son is extremely happy with the android (he had a 2G iPod previously).

so I'm wondering why the phone would revert back to my account though?

also, for those wondering about the phone's internet connections, I simply put the phone in airplane mode, and then turned on wifi.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I always noticed that even after a data wipe it would carry some things from the previous rom. It always kept my wallpaper instead of using the one that comes with Tweaked. There was some other stuff too but I can't bring it to mind.
[Verizon Droid Charge] bvsbutthd101:
That could be do to left over files on your SD-card. I just re-flashed today but before I did, I deleted any unnecessary files off my SD-card. Nothing carried over after flashing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Yeah I guess my sd-card could stand a little cleaning. I did that once a while back. Now I have the same card in my new phone. I deleted stuff that doesn't pertain to my Note though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] deafptl4ever:

please help

I finally have 10 posts so I am copy and pasting this from the q&a section to here where it belongs. Please help me out.

Verizon charge. US. Running tweaked 3.2 and the stock.fp5 kernal

So I bricked my razr (everyday phone) so until my new one gets here I wanted to turn on my charge for temporary use. Since it was on NY wife's line before they had to give me a new sim card to do it. I THOUGHT the nice Verizon lady was gonna just give me a new sim card and let me be on my way but instead she decided to activate it all for me. Throughout this she did a factory reset. Which i guess means that she did a reset through clockwork and just didn't realize it.

Pre-this happening everything was working fine. I was using the phone to wacltch Netflix and hulu on my TV with n HDMI cord. Now the home button does not work, no play store, no other apps associated with rooting (super user etc.) The kernal is reading as stock.fp5 And the phone only makes calls it doesn't receive them. (Though that may have been pre-existing I don't know because the phone didn't have service before) .

Anyone have a suggestions for me?

EDIT: I'm running the imnuts kernal

I have a friend running this rom on his Charge. When he uses his stereo bluetooth headphones, sound comes out from both the Charge & the bluetooth headphones. He complains that the volume thru the headset is not loud enough. I am figuring that if I could turn off the built in speaker, the bluetooth headset would get louder. Any ideas?

So I've posted about having memory problems (low internal memory with 120 mbs or less left). Yes i've cleared play store cache etc. I couldn't even update ghostly sms for 1mb for I read to clear play store, framework services. Whoops. Now I get this rh-01 error that I have last fall and by dumb luck somehow fixed on previous tweaked. I've tried clearing everything, cache, dalvik. Tried re-instlaling play store and clearing everything before. Either says application not found or when I get it to go it still says error etc rh-01.

I planned on using Odin to go back to ep4 and start over because of memory problems but I don't wanna brick it and have a bad usb port. I'm afraid I might get one shot getting into download mode via tweaked menu. Anyone know how to fix this error or do I need to reflash tweaked to get play store working again. FWIW gmail also gone and online play store via browser has my device, says installed but it's grayed out with a question mark (sgh-etc ?)

I managed to get back to stock with updates but now in odin when it goes to "nand write" the operation fails. Ugh...Phone wont boot..where to go from here?

Ok got it, in all my stress forgot to put battery in after download mode. Not sure how I could check "dead" memory, but after I fill apps after odin'ing to stock with pit file etc if it does it again there isn't another answer.

Lost root but I'm sure I can figure it out here in a min.

[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Hey dwith I know you're going to be working on this for the update, so I'll leave this here. I found a subtle bug: sometimes when you use the phone the notification widgets are way wider than they should be. Rotating the phone and back while the notifications are open fixes this. It happens on other themes, too.

Happens to me on occasion, we've discussed it before. AFAIK he doesn't know exactly what's causing it.

[Verizon Droid Charge] deafptl4ever:
The stop update worked perfectly on mine. He said he was going to look into the update and see if there was anything useful in it, especially for the kernel. That was a couple of days ago. I would give him a week or two from past experience to come out with it or say it was not worth putting in the update. My wife's Charge got the update and I don't see any improvements at all.

Do we still need a modem updater? I can do it if someone gives me some instructions
[Verizon Droid Charge] QuentinX5:
As much as I am a fan of rooting my phone, this one has gone really south on me...

My girlfriend, who owns the Charge, has pretty well much had her phone turn into a brick. Calls can sometimes take up to five minutes to go out. Sending and receiving text messages is near painful at times with the amount of lag. Her phone constantly freezes and she is always having to restart it. So, as much as I love rooting phones, I unfortunately have to agree with her in going back to stock and all. I mean, that new update just came out, so rooting that would probably make her day feel so much better, being able to keep all of her stuff on her phone and not worry too much about all the issues she had before.

So... If anyone else is having these bugs, even after reflashing numerous times, then maybe it's something to look into. That, or her phone is just horrible, since this is the second or third time that I am wiping it and starting from scratch.

But yeah, just passing this information along to the developers (since I'm not seasoned enough to know exactly what the causes would be of these issues...)
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Unfortunately the feedback does little to inform me of anything, though I am sorry to hear the negative experience. Without knowing any specifics on things like themes, when it was flashed, apps installed since flashing, duration since issues were noticed, or logcats showing the issues the only thing I can recommend outside of what you decided on (which is in its own right a perfectly fine plan and one I would try were I in your situation) is to wipe everything clean and reflash. That being said, you should definitely give the new ota a spin, from what I've gathered it seems like such an endeavor is quite worth it. Hopefully once I have some time to update to fp8 she can give this another go without issues.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
There have been a couple people who had problems like these who fixed them by using the pit file when they odin'd back to EP4 stock.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Reilly1812:
+1. My phone started locking up constantly. Rebuilt with pit and phone working. I've always been stock rooted. I suspect app updates are causing issues with older phones such as ours. They claim compatibility but I think the testing and quality is not what it should be.

BTW : you guys are having way too much fun over on the Note 2 forums! I cannot wait much longer. :banghead:
[Verizon Droid Charge] QuentinX5:
I'm not downgrading the ROM in any manner or sense. :P

I'm just saying that I have probably gone through a full format and flash process two or three times, so either something about her phone just hates this ROM, or there's a underlying bug that keeps remaining every time I flash this. And yes, FP8 would be AMAZING! I think she's just tired of me touching her phone out of warranty however, thus the going back to stock... :P

[Verizon Droid Charge] rholm:
I had a similar sounding problem when I had superuser and SuperSU installed. Is that your problem. The slowdowns would start on boot right after setcpu and/or BBS started.

Cheers,

[Verizon Droid Charge] QuentinX5:
I've actually sort of taken a different step, ESPECIALLY after formatting the phone and starting from scratch and keeping it on stock. She's still having issues where her phone will lock up when she makes a phone call and won't unlock. so I'm starting to wonder if there might be something in the circuitry that is causing the issues instead of the ROMs themselves. As for having Superuser and SU installed at the same time, I do not have them installed neither had them installed, so I don't think that would be the problem.

I do need a bit to see if any other issues pop up as I root and let her phone ride out for the next few days. If they come up, then I will be forced to consider hardware, otherwise, there must be some sort of underlying issue for the ROM...

I am hoping I am within a week of completing my current task, at which point the charge will have my full and undivided attention.

[Verizon Droid Charge] The Amorphist:
Is it weird to tell you I love you?

Because I think I love you.

While I'm here, I noticed a few other people talking about slowly deteriorating quality when it comes to Tweaked. Symptoms like the "call somebody, and call doesn't go through for a minute", or programs slowly starting to crash with more and more frequency, until eventually whole messaging apps and the launcher that controls the top bottoms stops working as well.

I LOVE tweaked...for about...oh, a month and a half or so. I've been consistently flashing back to stock and starting over since I started using the custom ROM. I've always kind of figured this is just part of the life of using software written by some generous sir on the internet.

So...do I have a misconception, or are custom ROMs kind of destined to slowly go down hill from the moment you install them?

And to take the bite away from this, I ODINd back to stock to take FP8 (the buttons that power the GPS/WiFi/Data all stopped working), and since then realized...STOCK CHARGE DOESN'T SUPPORT ANIMATED GIFs. D'OH.

Cheers, for all your hard work

[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I used to have the same exact issue. Good for a month or two, then everything goes downhill until my phone completely locked up and had to PIT and start over. Finally diagnosed the problem to using scripts (with Script Manager), more specifically V6 Supercharger. For some reason this phone just doesn't like V6. Also, improper shutdowns (like holding down the power button or pulling battery) increase the likelihood of a corruption.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
LOL - well, regrettably this has always been my experience as well. That being said, I have one ever-so-slight idea on what might be going on, so Tweaked 4 will test it... worse case scenario the trend continues, and now that I've prepped for it there is no extra time involved in giving it a shot. We shall see I suppose...
[Verizon Droid Charge] deafptl4ever:
Cleaning cache and davlik in recovery has always made my Charge work quicker. Sometimes I just reflash the Tweaked zip and it's like new.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Clearing Dalvik, using App Cache Cleaner, and running sqlite vacuum/reindex every once in a while keeps the phone fresh IMO.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Reilly1812:
Always running rooted stock. FP1 ran smooth but over time became sluggish. Maintained cache, etc. FP5 went same route - at first smooth and downhill fast. Started freezing and would require battery pull. Rebuilt with pit 2 weeks before FP8. Now on FP8 and so far so good.

Question: Wintel file system always benefits from defrag. What about Unix? Doesn't the all-in-one EP4 we keep starting with and pit effectively defrag our storage? Is this one reason why it seems like our phones always run best after a rebuild/update?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
There is no defragmentation to be done, as this isn't mechanical storage. A PIT is basically resetting all partitions of the NAND, essentially telling the phone "Hey, here's how much memory is allocated everywhere, and you can just over write whatever block you want, as long as you're within these limits", eg it's not defragmenting (NAND blocks don't work like mechanical sectors), it's not optimizing [aligning] across NAND blocks, it's not even clean wiping the memory. The only reason is faster is that the device no longer has s much things to read and write from, it's a clean slate.

Tldr a PIT isn't like a defragmentation, it's more like a quick format of a flash drive in Windows; and it's faster because there's nothing saved.
