Looking for general/specific impressions of the phone. Hah a droid x/droid x2 for 1.5 years, recently got wet on vacation and screen light/touch screen went out (can still see with right light or flashlight but touch screen not working it's done). My upgrade is in late December but I really didn't want to take it anyway to keep my unlimited data on Verizon, which also is the only carrier with 4g in my area (att, sprint, Verizon). Looking on ebay phones (3g and 4g) are really expensive. I've found a decent amount of refurb, used charges for around $100.

I liked my X2 in theory but even with cyanomod 7 the cam was slow, occasional force closes, widgets became unresponsive etc. Took great pics though. First Moto phone and kind of thinking it should be my last. I figure it's time to go to 4g, keep my unlimited and go from there. Thanks and I look forward to your responses.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
There are threads for this already. If you can't be bothered to search, then I'm just going to tell you getting this phone at this point is a bad idea.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thechaoz:
Tried didn't find anything discussing the phone, sorry about that. Specific reason? 4g phones are still fairly expensive but really looking to keep my unlimited
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
All of the later phones are way more powerful. It has to have the latest software version to run decent at all and it's even better to run Tweaked 3.0. If you root it and use the aforementioned rom it does just fine. Then be smart about using wifi and 4g and it gets pretty fair battery life.

The problem with it is it has way too little ram. It needs serious debloating to have any ram left over at all. I am happy with mine because I've done all the right things to make it a decent phone, You'd need to do some serious studying in this forum to get it to run good. If you like tinkering it's kinda fun. If you don't forget it.

Don't expect much more software development for it though. that's all pretty much gone. Don't expect ICS or anything later cause it has too little system memory for ICS plus Touchwiz.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thechaoz:
Ok sounds good, I appreciate that. Just kind of tight right now after a surgery and holidays coming up or I'd buy a nicer phone. Guess I could just go with a 3g again but noticed that the droid x2 which I had is just as expensive on ebay as the charge by 15-20 bucks. I didn't mind the x2 but Moto is a pain even after installing cm7. Any recs on another 4g phone ? Plenty of Thunderbolts too but it seems that phone is also very old.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
All I know about the Thunderbolt is it is famous for using battery fast. There might be custom software that remedies that. Check the T-Bolt forums. The LG Revolution has a washed out looking display compared to the Charge.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the Charge has a great display. That's it's best feature. Video looks great. Colors tend to be slightly over saturated but it can be read in direct sunlight.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
You should really check out the nexus or the bionic. They are the 2nd gen lte phones (I consider bionic as 2nd gen since it was originally going to be vzws first lte but it had to be redone) which are much much better than tbolt/charge/revo. I know you don't like the x2 but it is a really big flop of a phone for motorola, and the bionic should be much better. If you can spare the money then I would go for nexus, though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thechaoz:
Thanks for the input guys, grinding on ebay. I appreciate all the input
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
No ebay. Swappa.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
don't mean to muddy your decision process, but Dwith's Tweaked ROM has really made this phone enjoyable. combine that with some Jelly Bean themes that Blackness did, and you'll fall in love.

my lone concern with this phone is battery life - but after installing Juice Defender, I can go a full day in between charges.

the major downside is that due to lack of power, this phone will never see a fully functional ICS/JB ROM. but Dwith has made this one really great.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Antoneus1231:
How is this battery life for you? :eek:

. :: TSM Tweaked 3.0 . FP5 Kernel . Pirated Theme :: .
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
For me, much much worse than that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
That's pretty impressive. Looks like your screen was mostly off though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
were you using Juice Defender?

got similar results yesterday....
[Verizon Droid Charge] chefthomas99:
Doesn't Juice Defender hurt more than help?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
thought so initially - but that was before I was edumacated on how android devices work.

now that I understand it, I customized the app to my liking. and thus, I have significantly increased battery life (still would rather not have to, but it works for now)

remember, the app is free (paid versions offer more options - but I don't think I need those options).

essentially, the app recognizes that the biggest drainer on battery is mobile data. so, it cuts off mobile data when you are not using it (and you can schedule cycles periodically so you won't miss notifications).

what's new about it (from when I first tried it some 12+ months ago), is that my concern was that if I lost my phone, I would not be able to find it with the lookout app (needs mobile data). now, JD allows you to disable itself via text message. so if I lose my phone, I'll simply send a text to my phone from my google account (or someone elses phone) with a password, and then my mobile data is back on, and then I can use lookout to find out (lookout also automatically sends out a signal when your battery gets below 2% so that you can find your phone if it is ever lost and loses power).
[Verizon Droid Charge] chefthomas99:
Ok ill bite. What are your settings in general?
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
controls: Data, Autosync (Ping)

schedules: 30m

triggers: battery 15%, screen, traffic 10kb/15s, 15s min

notification: text (hide status bar icon) - this is important so that the android auto task killer does not kill JD

essentially, I have it set so that whenever I unlock the screen, mobile data automatically turns on (if there is no wifi connection).

with these settings (coupled by me editing the build.prop wifi scan interval to 1800), I leave mobile data,wifi, and bluetooth on all the time. I never need to manually switch them. this is as seamless as it gets for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thechaoz:
Ok Awesome guys so I just got in in the mail. Like new for $65.00 off ebay (used a sniping sight late at night :). Anyway I've never done scripts but did install cm7 etc on my X2 with no problem. I'm running to store to get sim card. I'm not worried about ICS/the latest greatest just a well running phone and battery life is important to me as I sync emails and am on the go. I'm used to having to charge and always by default just throw it on in the car, at work etc.

What do you think it the best ROM/scripts/tweaks/etc to use maximize the potential of the phone. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thechaoz:
Noted. I will look into it. Any other options are additional input. Looks like a fun phone, can't wait to play with it especially after almost two years of droid X/X2. Got 4G and get to keep my unlimited. woohoo. lol
[Verizon Droid Charge] Antoneus1231:
Yes the screen was off mostly but listening to Pandora quite a bit at work.

I haven't done anything to my phone except install tweaked and my pirated blackness themes. Running vanilla right now. No minfrees tweaks or other apps just clearing app cache every night. Phone is running the best it ever has. It is probably going to crap out on me soon. Oh I just remembered, it is overclocked to 1200 too via tegrak. No voltage changes.

Thanks Dwith and blackness! :thumbup::beer::D

[Verizon Droid Charge] thechaoz:
Cool. Installed tweaked 3.0 liking it so far. Going to look at tweaktools and mess around with that. Seems pretty good a little spazzy on some games. Just got off work and going to calibrate battery as well. Thanks again everyone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] chefthomas99:
How is it so far for ya? Versus the DX2?
[Verizon Droid Charge] thechaoz:
It's cool. Only hangs a little sometimes coming out of games etc. Just calibrated battery and seems ok but when actively using it def drains. Not sure how ppl have these insane battery numbers. I disabled syncing (gmail/facebook/etc) for all apps, just calibrated so well see how it goes. Used tweak tools and added a few things. Right now have 78% after two hours with just playing a few games, checking facebook.

Also android OS is 8% and android system 21%. It was showing me something on android system when I clicked it, something like tvoutserver? Any suggestions. Thanks in advanced
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Well, Facebook is definitely a battery killer. Use the mobile website instead, and delete the FB app.
[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
Try to keep it on wifi as much as you can. 4g eats battery fairly fast. Also a new battery has to build up it's ability to hold the charge. Keep bumping the battery back up to 100% for a while. Also That big bright display is the biggest battery drain. Keep the brightness turned as low as you can.

I saw a rating that said until the Razr Maxx came along the Droid Charge was the best smart phone available for battery life. The only reason phones get better battery life is because they have monstrous batteries and they cost more.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
Build.prop tweaks and juice defender help me.

tappin' that....
[Verizon Droid Charge] thechaoz:
Ok. I'll give juice defender a try though I've heard varying degrees of success, obviously you've have a good experience. My thing is if I disabled all background data, disabled all syncing, keep screen brightness at lowest with 15 sec timout (I usually just manually turn it off and don't wait), what can juice defender really do for me?

Also I know you mentioned the build.prop tweak for wifi, anything else anyone can recommend. The other day I left the house with my gf with bout 85%. Only texted a few times and did some internet searching and it was down to 10% six hours later. Her freaking iphone which she didn't use much barely lost 10%. argh

My 4g was hanging pretty bad with Opera, I switched to dolphin mini it seems better. Did a battery/sim card pull and it seems to have helped because it was bad. Ive def noticed my signal/wifi strength with the Samsung isn't as good as my moto but overall like the phone way better then the X2. Thanks in advanced
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Did you look at BetterBatteryStats? Your charge should be lasting longer than that.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thechaoz:
Seems a little better later after installing all the tweaks from tweak tools. I'll download bbs and see what is going on.
[Verizon Droid Charge] thechaoz:
So I have background data enabled but auto synce disabled, screen doesn't turn on with messages and calls. This is really terrible, I need help. Running tweaked 3.x
[Motorola Droid X2] thechaoz:
Phone got wet, can see screen but backlight not working on screen (but soft keys and alert light (email, sms) on top. Can see screen but it isn't responsive when touching. I'm sure it's lost, but figure members of xda would know better than anyone. Thanks in advanced
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Did you put it in rice and give it proper time to dry off? Turning it on while still wet/damp can cause perminent damage (if it wasnt already done.) It sounds like hardware issue but try a SBF, you never know. You could also open it up and replace anything you think has damage (long shot.)

Sent from my JB'd X2
[Motorola Droid X2] thechaoz:
There is a local company that does replacements for not that much. I know they could do the backlight. My question is if the touch isn't working would that not working properly because of that light or not. If it should work regardless then it is a lost cause I'm sure.

Hey I have a DX...it is rooted. But I'm giving it to my daughter and I want to wipe it before I do. If I just do the system factory reset will it lose the root? Any help on this will help. I have already manually taken all of my apps and pics off of the phone just need to set it up to be hers. Thank in advance.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
If you still have ClockwordMod Recovery installed, just wipe data.
[Droid X General] SmokinHawtVegasChic:
Don't think I ever installed CWM. I will have to look over the phone ti see...ugh...thanks.
[Droid X General] haxerpaylay:
Use ROM manager to install cwm, than do as he said above.
[Droid X General] SmokinHawtVegasChic:
Okay, now that I have that done...Did the wipe through Recovery Screen. The phone won't reboot...it's stuck on M screen upon reboot. What did I do wrong?

PS ~ Looked around on here and it said to do another wipe because of the sticking on Motorola Logo screen...I did that...it still sticks at Logo Screen. Did I brick this phone?? Please tell me I didn't and there is a way to fix this. Battery is fully charged, can take it out and get to recovery screen...it is just not going passed the Logo screen.
[Droid X General] freakboy13:
you can never loose root from a factory wipe .

From what I know Rom manager and bootstrap dont play nice.

Sounds like it's sbf time.

Listen just sbf, root, install boostrap and be done with it .

Rom manager can be a pita and unless you're going to be installing roms, not worth it imo.

I just got my gameklip in the mail for my HTC EVO 4G LTE and it's sick, I absolutely love it. But I am need for more games that I'm able to play with playstation controller...What games do you guys have that works with the controller?

So far I have....

GTA

SHAWDOWGUN

Nba jam
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mexlos:
Dead Trigger

The Bard's Tale

Also you can download a Super Nintendo or Playstation emulator and play those games with your gamepad.

I've been considering getting the gameklip, but I had not seen any reviews or pictures of it being used with the EVO LTE. Could you please post some pictures and a short review? Does it hold the EVO securely? Any chance of scratches?

Sent from my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shadyrecords45:
My review on the gameklip: overall I give it a 9.5/10

Pros:

*Holds the HTC EVO 4G LTE perfectly... Fits like a glove and it's secured tightly. The chances of the EVO falling off is like 2% honestly (unless you abuse it and shake it like a maniac)

*I bought the wired package and it's extremely easy to connect with the ps3 sixaxis app or through the wire they give you.

*The gameklip itself is durable and strong...It reminds me of a psp when I'm playing games...It's just sick

*I don't have any scratches on my phone, there's a cloth in the edges so the device doesn't get scratched.

Cons:

*It was really hard for me to put the gameklip on the ps3 controller. I had to really use force to clip it on. But in the end it's just to securely be on the controller so it doesn't wiggle or is loose.

Overall it's well worth buying..I have yet to take it out in public but I use it all the time at home. I highly recommend his product

I don't see myself paying 20 something plus shipping for a piece of what looks like abs plastic. I've seen some nice clip on controllers but most lack a 2nd analog or shoulder buttons. Does it have to be tethered? I thought ics and up supported bluetooth hid without needing an extra app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Shadyrecords45:
Yes you must have the sixaxis app for it to work regardless bluetooth or wired. I've seen tutorials on YouTube showing how to connect them and they all said you need the app. I've tried it myself without the app and it did not work. Also the app has advance settings to enable game pad actions in order to use the controller to play games.

Even though it's plastic and over 20$ it just feels sturdy and strong. I don't feel like I have a cheap product that isn't durable. The maker of the gameklip really made a fine product.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
That's more to do with the type of plastic, it's probably abs which is the same type of plastic used to make Legos. Pretty durable stuff
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] luigi311:
Native controller support is not in all phones just like USB host even though its in android itself. That's y u need that app i've used the app and its really worth it, it even has settings to change the controller layout. I hooked up a ps3 remote to my touchpad via Bluetooth. If u want more games look for games that have the xperia features

You need to flash the kernel separately. Grab boot.img installer or use fastboot. Reboot the phone and hold power+volume down to get into the bootloader, then select recovery. I'm not familiar with boot.img installer but with fastboot you extract the boot.img from the rom and place it in the adb folder and with the phone in fastboot and in the terminal type fastboot flash boot boot.img

Because adb is for Android, fastboot is a command line tool that you run from hboot. Type fastboot devices instead and you will see you phone listed

That's because you have to change the path of where your cmd prompt is looking.
