    Upgrade to Galaxy Nexus?

    I asked myself one simple question.. is there anything the Galaxy Nexus can do, that the Charge can't? My answer was 'very little'. The cost to upgrade simply does not make it worth it. I plan on waiting out my contract and getting well refined ics or even the next version of android, on a quad...

    Screenshot issue.

    I like the built in screenshot function on the Charge. Works great / high quality, but I keep having the same problem. I can take a screenshot of my 'Home' screen with no problems, but I can't take a screen shot from within Handcent, Weather Bug, and other programs, without the program...

    Is the Droid Charge defective?

    Yes, it is defective. Something is clearly wrong with the phone part of the device.. the most important part. I get screaming, screeching, dropped calls 10+ times per day, strange sounds, etc.. I am on my second phone with zero resolution to the problem. I tend to believe its a location based...

    I can't just be me? 60% of my calls are garbled!

    Re: I can't just be me ??? 60% of my calls are garbled !!! Not just you.. same here. I'm in Atlanta. Friend has Charge as well, and has the same issues. I'm inclined to believe it's an Atlanta thing, as she is on her second phone, with the same problems. Love the Charge.. but really need...

    Need to make Asurion decison by 28th . . .

    Asurion Insurance is right at the edge of being worth the cost, but right now anyway, it's worth having.. Over time, you pay a lot of money. Especially if you replace two phones. Bottom line though.. at least for the first 12 to 14 months, the last thing I want to do, is drop my phone, or lose...

    Charge or Verizon - conversations seem a little digitized?

    It's a Charge thing. I moved to the Charge from the OG Droid, and the call quality on the Charge is subpar compared to the Droid. I still get 'screeching' in my ear, even after the update / 'fix'. Love the Charge, but am not a fan of the phone portion of it.

    Droid Charge EE4 update improvements

    I grabbed it from XDA, but I'm pretty sure it was the same one posted here. 4G to 3G hand off seems to be relatively seemless, though to be fair, I have not tested that one other than real world driving and observing. For those waiting for the update.. this is it. If there are any last minute...

    Droid Charge EE4 update improvements

    I applied the update. Piece of cake. Sent it to my non technical friend with quick self written instructions, and she applied it too.. Overall, excellent update. I had terrible, and I mean terrible screeching on my voice calls. Sadly, that has been reduced dramatically, but not entirely...

    quick VZW online vs Physical Store

    Thanks.. Online is definitely $249.. says I am eligible for early upgrade. I got all the way to the pay for it page. Problem is, I won't get it until next Tues, with this being Memorial Day Weekend. I'll call a rep now and ask them to note my account and see if I can work that angle. I'll also...

    quick VZW online vs Physical Store

    Quick question I am hoping to get answered so I can be more informed. My goal is to buy the Charge. My new every two is up on July 6th. I can early upgrade at myverizon.com, and get the Charge for $250 plus tax. Good enough, but I would like to get the phone today. I went into a Verizon Store...
