    So I flashed back to stock...wow, should have never rooted.

    I haven't tried it yet but apparently this works very well: PdaNet PdaNet -- USB Tether/Bluetooth DUN for Android

    So I flashed back to stock...wow, should have never rooted.

    Dumped my voodoo lagfix, rooted, stock ROM in favor of stock unrooted EE4. Loaded all my favorite apps back on. Wow, what a difference! -Battery life has improved dramatically. I'm talking 20-30% improvement if not more. -GPS locks on in 10 seconds or less, something it never could do before...

    GPS Fix (revised)

    None of this crap worked for me. I got so sick of dealing with the SLOW SLOW SLOW GPS of this phone I flashed a stock EE4 ROM (unrooted) back onto my phone in order to sell it. Lo' and behold, my phone locks onto GPS within 10 seconds every time now without fail. I'm using the same GPS...

    4G LTE found in Kansas City!?

    I was driving on Metcalf, northbound, and my Google Music streaming cut out on my phone. It would not get a 3G signal (my Droid Charge automatically selects 4G and locks on when available). When I got to MicroCenter (around 95th and Metcalf) I noticed that my phone then kicked into 4G LTE and...

    Car charger & GPS

    I just used the car charger that came with the phone from Costco (it's a generic piece of cr*p cigarette-lighter charger) and it had no problems keeping my phone charged on a 12 hour road-trip yesterday.

    Rooted last night - worse battery life?

    I'm using PBJT Kernel with voodoo lagfix. Stock ROM. Battery life seems to be worse for me too. I took it off the charger about two hours ago and have not used the phone at all and I'm already down to 85% battery. Hmmm. Now that we're rooted is there some sort of underclock utility to use to...

    Cannot get phone into download mode? WTF help plz

    Yes, I did have Odin running first. I finally just figured it out - I had to have the battery in the phone in order to get it to go into Download Mode. Really wish the OP would update his post and put that in there - I could have saved a lot of time.

    Droid Charge disconnecting from SYNC in my Ford Focus

    Hey everyone - It seems there is a fix for this issue. It involves unpairing the phone again and following specific instructions on re-pairing. Essentially, when you repair you want to be sure to tell it NO when it asks to auto-download the contact list. Also, it seems you want to have your...

    Droid Charge disconnecting from SYNC in my Ford Focus

    Has anyone told Samsung about this issue yet? My 2011 Mustang reliably connects to my Blackberry and my iPhone. The Charge keeps dropping after about 1 minute. It is NOT an issue with the SYNC system in my car, it's definitely the phone's fault. I bought this phone with a 90 day return...

    Skype Video chat for Charge?

    I recommend Fring. My wife downloaded it for her iPhone and it is probably the only cross-platform video chat that really works on our phones.
