Alright, so this is my first time ever installing something on this phone, be that it is my girlfriend's, and I have had one big long day with it. Had to do multiple instances of flashing with Odin because I had a messed up cable.

Anywho, I come here because I seek knowledge on the Wifi. Turns out when I turn the wifi on, it will say that it is unable to connect (I don't remember verbatim what it says. I don't have the telephone on me.)

Anyone have any ideas or tips to fixing this issue? I figure a simple reflash might be the cause of it, but thought it might be worth bringing up because I looked and could not find a section related to bugs for this ROM (if there are any... Be it so, I am new to this part of the forums since today, so I haven't dug too much into the aspects of this phone compared to others).
[Verizon Droid Charge] cujo6801:
Go to wifi settings

Then advance

Then proxy

If there's anything in proxy delete it..

Reboot and you should be good to go..

This is assuming she has the FP5 kernel ..

This is how it looks in about phone ..

For right kernel / build combo..

I read this post and problems #1 and #4 hit home.

I haven't heard of anyone experiencing the 10+ second delay when making phone calls! Does anyone else experience problems making outgoing calls? One in 5 calls results in a loud static squeal. If I hang up and call again it's fine.

I get jealous of everyone's reported battery life. I always carry a spare. I've noticed my data connection goes in and out even while stationary in good coverage areas. I think this is definitely related (but not necessarily the only cause) of poor battery life.

Over the last 1.5 years I've tried almost everything in the forums. PBJ was never good for me. I've done the recommended clean installs of various ROMs. Tweak 3.0 with all of dslice's tweaks w/o much improvement. (I'm about to try 3.1)

Is it possible that I have an older Hardware revision of the charge that's causing many of these problems? 11.04 I think.

Thanks to everyone contributing to the depleted Charge community. Maybe I'm just one of the few suffering from bad hardware?
[Verizon Droid Charge] mad3963:
I've had the same call issues since day one, had the phone ten months now. I just chalk it up to crappy hardware.

Battery life has never been good, but is better with Tweaked. I keep a spare battery or charger handy also.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
it could be your cell signal. first, install CPUSpy and Network Signal (available on the market for free) - this will tell you how strong/weak your data signal is. secondly, before going to bed, charge your phone fully up to 100%, reboot, and then unplug it. manually turn off mobile data. put your phone down and go to sleep. when you wake up the next morning, your battery should have drained ~1% per hour. if so, then your battery issues are with your mobile data signal connection. if battery drain was greater, then check CPUSpy to see what state your phone was in - should be sleep mode, if not, try dslices build.prop tweak.

all of this assumes that you have wifi in your home. if not, then obviously turn off wifi. FWIW, when I leave mobile data and Wifi on when I sleep, I get ~3% battery drain per hour in sleep mode.

this has been the norm for me for all of the custom ROMs - even with Juice Defender

hope this helps.

[Verizon Droid Charge] o0BlacknesS0o:
My guess is that you only updated to fp1...best thing to do would be to go back to ep4 then let it update to fp1 then let it update to fp5...it's 2 separate updates.

Anybody else getting blasted with hotboots? I've got hotboots like whoa. More details when I get home.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Not to speak for others but my guess is no - more details are definitely needed :)

Things like:

- theme?

- how did you install (file and preparations you did before flashing)

- any regularity to when it happens?

- did this happen right away (i.e. any recent changes that happened before hotboots started)?

That ought to be a good starting point.

In case anyone is interested...

I finally fixed the problem I was having with the flash player. I downloaded and installed version 11.1.111.16

not sure why this version worked and others didn't.

[Verizon Droid Charge] QuentinX5:
Used your info in regards to the picture to install the proper kernel.

How do I update the Baseband Version? Its set at:

i510.06 V.EP4

SCH-I510.EP4

Also, I was having a issue installing this OS through CWM. Every time I would flash it, after clearing out the data and all, I would get a error where the system would unmount and I couldn't ever mount it to install backups onto it. Any ideas? I was thinking possibly corrupt ZIP file, but I wanted to chuck a thought into the ocean to see if anyone else had any other issues.
[Verizon Droid Charge] beavermjr:
Great news

I found that deleting cache and data helped eliminate lag and most other problems. Phone now works like a charm since the data/cache wipe and fixing the flash player error. All I need now is to see what can be done to squeeze extra life out of the battery. One thing I can do is to turn off bluetooth when not in the car. But beyond that not much else.

Almost forgot: I got Facebook to stop syncing all contacts with the phone. It was so frustrating seeing only phone contacts when making calls but phone and all Facebook contacts when sending text messages.

I'm now happy with the phone again.

How do I know if I have Tweaked 3.0 or 3.1? What improvements are there in 3.1 and is it worth installing seeing as I've had so much trouble and just got the phone sorted out?
[Verizon Droid Charge] dSlice:
When you are in Tweaktools, it's option 6...
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Here is what I think you should do. Go here and follow the directions to flash EP4 stock.

Then there will be two "over the air" updates from Verizon. Take them both. The updates will put the FP5 kernel and modems in your phone. That will take care of kernel and baseband both.

Then go here and get the Odin package "Tweaked v3.1 ROM + 0302 CWM recovery" and flash it. Wipe data before you flash it.

Using that package will root your phone, install CWM and install Tweaked 3.1.

This worked great for me. My phone runs sweet as can be.
[Verizon Droid Charge] beavermjr:
I checked and I have tweak 3.0. Would you recommend upgrading? I read the change log and am unclear about the reboot options and what is different with the clock. Also what has been added to tweaktools?

Can someone advise?

I tried the suggestion of turning of data and letting the phone sit over night and it drains 2% an hour. Does this mean the battery is bad or that data transfer is what is killing the battery? I do have battery defender which should turn off mobile data when screen turns off. Could it be the fact thst I leave bluetooth on all the time?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
sounds like an app is trying to access your data routinely. when I manually turn off mobile data, I get ~1% per hour drain. bluetooth has minimal impact on battery performance.

what did CPUSpy reveal? should show the highest percentage in sleep mode. if not, then you've got a rogue app or could be your synced accounts. for the record, I only sync my google accounts.
[Verizon Droid Charge] QuentinX5:
So wait, the update is just a matter of installing a updated modem? Technically speaking, couldn't I flash the modem found in the first couple posts of this thread to update it then?
[Verizon Droid Charge] o0BlacknesS0o:
No... The 3.1 update is not related to the modem, he is just suggesting you go back and update everything so that everything is up to date and updating has been the most problem free process... The tweaked 3.+ ROM is based on the fp5 update so you may run onto issues running on ep4d. I know it's a hassle but it honestly is the best way to go

Just Odin back to ep4d then not and take the update... Then when it reboots, take the next update then let it reboot then power off and Odin the package stueycaster mentioned above and everything is done... you will have 3.1 rooted with CWM already installed... after it boots and you go thru setup, go into SuperSU and hit OK to update binaries

Overall it's about 25 minutes but well worth it

That modem update is for FP1 to FP5.

"FP1 to FP5 modem updater

NOTE: You MUST be on FP1H modems for this to work!" <<< pasted from OP.

I don't remember any way to update from EP4 to FP1 except to take the "Over the Air" update. You have to be on EP4 stock to do that.

Update: Out of curiosity I did a little searching for an "EP4 to FP1" modems update. I found this. But when I clicked on the link for the modems I got a 404 error.

Working great and had to just reflash my superuser. Thanks Dwitherell.
[Verizon Droid Charge] The Amorphist:
Yay

I love you and your roms, good sir D. I will say, this build has been particularly unstable so far. It locks up preeeettty often. Firefox will often lock up after loading a page, requiring a phone reboot.

Another odd quirk is that if I click my beloved "Swagger" button, the phone reboots into download mode. Not a bad feature to have at the ready, but I like my purple pimp hat.

I am using the ICS theme from tweaktools.

Also, to note some confusion I've had. I was always under the impression that an ODIN flash will wipe the phone back to a factory state (it always has in the past...)

I had upgraded to FP5 the right way (EP4->OTA->OTA) a while back, waiting for your ROM to come out. I flashed the Odin (CWM+ROM Version), and booted up to find my homescreen still set up with the Go Launcher. I did not end up wiping any caches or doing any resets. Is this ok? Will this process cause problems for me?

Thanks for your help, and all your hard work keeping my charge as awesome as it is.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ffd173:
If you had read this thread completely you would have known that turning on swagger AND having your brightness level set to auto TRIGGERS a reboot to download mode. Just turn off auto brightness or turn off swagger and you will be fine.

The problems that you are having with the unstableness are most likely due to you not doing what is suggested by the dev. You should always wipe data and factory reset when installing a new rom. And wipe cache and dalvik. At the least, you should wipe cache and dalvik if just upgrading from tweaked 3 beta.

If you do that, your problems will go away.

This rom is running smmoth as sillk. Give it a shot. You won't be sorry!! :cool:
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I thought what was meant in the original post was to go back to EP4 stock, take the OTA updates then install Tweaked 3 all at the same time. If you used your phone stock for a while you definitely need to wipe data before flashing Tweaked.

Last night I went back to stock then through all the steps to the finished product and my phone runs as smooth as silk.
[Verizon Droid Charge] The Amorphist:
That's why I made the distinction that usually ODIN wipes everything on its own; whenever I see installation instructions (including the ones on this page), a CWM install says to wipe everything ahead of time, while the ODIN's instructions are basically "FLASH AND GOOOO". I was not upgrading from Tweaked beta though, I upgraded from a stock rooted FP5.

I'll backup and wipe after work and see if that helps out a bit. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] deafptl4ever:
The only problem I am having is the 4G is not really working very well. Even though it's says it's on, it downloads very slow like it's on Edge! Other times 4G just disappears like it did when I opened the XDA application. I had to turn on wifi. On Tweaked 2.2 I never had problems with the 4G.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Remember the Q & A thread...

While it is typical of factory odins to wipe /data, we do not have a factory odin for fp5. As such, I included no file (as I had no source for it) that would do the same as what is typically done in the factory odins. I've updated the OP - my bad.

Could it be the FP5 modems? It's doubtful anything of that nature could be attributed directly to the rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
It's kinda sad that people prefer to upgrade what they already have rather than do a clean install. I've always done a clean install of Windows on my computers and they have always run good. Now I do a clean install on my phone and it runs perfectly too.
[Verizon Droid Charge] The Amorphist:
Hey hey now! I like to install the ODIN version of ROMs because they typically do the factory reset on their own ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Do you odin over an existing rom or go back to stock and take the ota's? I went back to stock, ota's then odin'd Tweaked + CWM. This is the best my phone has ever run.

I see people in here who are having problems because of trying to keep from wiping data. I just can't help but think everyone should bite the bullet, go back to stock and get a good clean install.

Dwitherell recommended that in the OP. It's worth the effort.
[Verizon Droid Charge] GameChanger:

Thanks Dwitherell.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ezas:
Im rusty on flashing so maybe this will help someone else out. If you are trying to Odin the ROM+recover when I tried it I got an error about no pit file. Since I had no recovery since I flashed back to stock and took the OTA's. What I needed to do was get back into download mode and odin a recovery package. I had turned off auto reset in Odin so I was able to get ready to boot into recovery (my phone could not boot into a ROM. Once in Recover I did the usual resets/wipes. From recovery I chose power down. The I booted into download mode and the ROM+Recovery package flashed successfully

Short version LOL if you get a message about no pit file while trying to flash in Odin you need to get into recovery however you can and do the reset wipes if you are coming from FP5. At least that is what fixed it for me.

Mega thanks. My phone has been acting up and I was hoping for this to drop before I leave on a trip in a couple days.

I hope this is clear I don't mean to confuse anybody.
