The negatives depend on who you talk to. Alot have GPS issues along with bad battery life.Also people have been going through signal loss. The good is the screen and with some Roms debloat and optimize it. Once rooted you have alot you can to customize it. Best just to search and see what other people are going through.

Ok I guessing that we don't have miui.us on the charge what's the average battery life on moderate to heavy usage
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

With moderate use, I can get about 12hrs. That's including internet, phone calls. videos and just generally messing with it. I managed to solve the gps problem with faster fix from the market. I now generally lock on in 10 to 20 seconds. The screen is incredible. I truly enjoy watching my videos on it. Enjoy your Charge.

Device issue. I have had a phone replaced because of it and it was not any better. I have tried to use it in several places across the country and it is not any better.

I didn't have a proble mwith my original charge but had to swap it out because of other things. The CPO is when I started to have problems.

Not too many problems here except those that are hardware related... all roms I've tried run great, battery life is decent but I do have the infamous 'random data drop' bug and I've had a 4G sim replacement once (probably due to my compulsive flashing lol )

Lol I am known to be a flashaholic as well lol...

I have all these problems. Have tried everything mentioned on these boards to fix. Nothing really works. All in all, a very mediocre phone for me. Obviously, as you read through these posts, you will get more favorable experiences than mine.

I guess I've been extremely lucky. I have had zero data dropping, zero sim issues, and no phone static issues. Sometimes my GPS sucks but can usually fix it through apps. All in all a great phone!

Thanks for the help

Although I've already "made my peace" with many of those here who had a gripe with me, I'd like to, once again, thank the people here who were actually helpful, were willing to accept my apology and, most importantly, the developers who are always hard at work trying to make the GS4G the best that it can be. The recent Gingerbread ROMs have really brought new life to this phone and addressed many of my initial complaints and disappointment.
That being said, (and much to the delight of several of you here who just can't seem to move past things, even after my apologies and attempts to reconcile) I still can't see myself keeping this phone. There's just not enough RAM, app storage space, etc. and, being a father of 8 month old twins, I need a decent camera ready at all times. I think we can all agree that the camera on this thing is about as weak as it gets these days.
So I ordered an HTC Sensation which should be here in a week. I guess I'll be bothering the guys over in those forums soon enough.
SELLING OUTSIDE THE MARKET PLACE IS AGAINST FORUM RULES
Thanks again. Be good.
Sell it to krylon whitehawk or honk on the cheap!! That'll quiet those griping!!

Also just picked up a G2x off of Craigslist, as well as a T-Mob Nexus S. Playing with both of them to see which one I'll keep. Have you put a ROM on the G2x yet? It's a little bit more involved than using the One-Click app.

I've tried out most of them. I prefer the CM7 nightlies so far (although I'm running the latest KANG atm).
I'm on AOSP and liking it, prolly move to CM nightly soon. Between this and the Nexus S, having a hard time deciding which I prefer - whichever one I happen to be using at the moment is the one I like better. Just worried about whether devs will bring a decent ICS to the G2x.

Does CM7 have the issue of constantly turning wifi off when screen shuts off, even though settings are fixed to prevent wifi shut off? I was using Eagle's Blood, which is supposed to be based on CM, and my wifi would not stay on and was causing my data radios to kill my battery. I'm now on Weapon G2x and the problem stopped (saw this solution in other forums), but I'd like to try other ROMs and I'm wonder if you or anyone else has seen this issue in their ROM of choice. Thanks!

that is good news to hear then i've had keyboard phones for six years and was going to upgrade to the sidekick 4g but after doing all my research i decided the g2x was obviously a much better phone, it will just be a bit of an adjustment for me
I also came from a g1 and sold that and got the mt4g with some cash. It was and still is a beast of a phone but I needed a g2x so I traded for one on craigslist. Honestly as nice as that g1 keyboard was I have gotten over it with smartkeyboard pro which IMHO is the best on-screen keyboard out there. Best part is I'm still due for an upgrade since this past August and I already got this sick ass g2x I was drooling for back when I had the og g1 lollol

I used to have the G1, then Mytouch 3G, now G2x, it's a great phone! Way fast and now that most of the bugs are worked out it runs awesome. Now I just need to figure out how to root the thing and I'll be all set!

This is why I'm really hoping they work on better battery management for phones coming out in 2012. Does anybody really need a 2ghz quadcore phone when there battery will just die in 3 hrs? I'm perfectly content on 1ghz cpu's(there fast enough) hopefully with any luck future phone displays,cpus,gpus,etc all work together on ICS to bring a couple days of real time use, instead of just a couple hours without having to buy extended batteries/charge etc..

That's what I'm saying man. They're moving too fast with these processor cores. I say, take a year off on engineering processors and spend that time on extending battery life and make better batteries. I'm more than content with dual cores as it is.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Best way to extend battery life is to work on the cpu. If you shrink the cpu the it will use less watts per cycle. Also nvidia made a smart upgrade with its quad core by putting in a fifth slow main core. So work in parallel. Engineers work on making the cpu efficient and programmers should stop being lazy. It's not like these companies can't multi task
Sent from my NookColor using xda premium
They said the same thing about dual core saving battery life, that was a joke! Only way I get decent battery life is with my 3500mah extended.
Still I do agree that those 28nm krait s4 chips should take less battery usage, but I'm talking about more then just achieving much longer overall battery life from multiple factoring issues android has(better displays,gpu,cpu,larger stock OEM batteries,ui,etc) hopefully ICS and jellybean really step up to provide the ultimate android experience without having to charge our phones every 4-6 hr's lol

I am using eaglesbloods latest and using morfics elp kernel. I only get battery life like this when I'm in good service areas all day fyi. When I install a rom I really like, I erase the entire phone, reformat everything literally, then load the rom and kernel from USB mount in clockwork mod. I feel its best to have a completely clean flash. Then I charge the phone to 100 and calibrate battery stats. Some days I get battery life where I'm at 20% at 20 hours, others much much better. I'm always using the phone moderately. When I first read tthis and checked I was at 60% at 20 hours. Tried to post a screenshot bur it wouldn't work ... def. not pulling your left though. Also the only thing I sync is email every half hour. I uninstalled Facebook because it always runs in the background... makes me uncomfortable.

ATT offered to replace my Infuse

Long story short: I am on my third Infuse with constant dropped calls. ATT has now offered to replace my phone.
Any thoughts on what to get. I think my options are:
Atrix 2
LG Nitro
Captivate slide (really miss the physical keyboard)
Skyrocket
S2
The Nitro and Skyrocket seem to have some pretty stellar reviews.
I think the Atrix still has a locked bootloader.
The Slide has the keyboard I have been missing since I got the Infuse.
And the S2 has a smaller screen
Any thoughts on any of these phones?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Captive slide feels cheaply made its very light even with the battery in

From what I've read, all Samsung devices using the Qualcomm chip instead of the Exynos have screen tuning issues. Either way, I would take an Infuse first and the SGS2 second.
wow, no one is giving any love to the nitro. the more reviews I read, the more I am liking it. anyone care to elaborate on the reasons for the s2 or rocket instead of the nitro? reviewing the specs, the nitro seems just as tricked out as the others and even better speced on several fronts. not trying to start a war, just trying to figure out how to best take advantage of att's "generosity".

I'm wondering if there's something wrong with the network where you are - does it always drop in the same place?
No one else has had the problems you have had, and for it to happen with three devices says "network" to me.
I never had a problem with dropped anything while driving - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0011GI94Q means it's extremely rare to ever have less than 3-4 bars anywhere when behind the wheel.
(I live in the boonies - I often go through areas where no phone ever has coverage, but with the Wilson I'll still usually have 3-4 bars in those places. It has more than exceeded my expectations.)

4G LTE

So how long did your area (City/Town) take to fully turn on your 4G? Reason I'm asking is because today all day I had 4G which I was shocked to see because I'm not in a 4G area. Obviously this means that they are testing it I would assume?

I'm over in Oregon and there is still no 4G i my area. From what I heard is that Verizon contracted a company to lay the cables and then they sub contracted it to Century Link. Well CL dropped the ball and now we have to wait even longer for 4G.
4G was on when I moved here. Awesome signal everywhere!! That's what I love about living near D.C.

I hate to say it, but the iPhone helped with this issue. A lot of new towers were brought online for their 4G launch.

This is true. I wish Apple would have implemented NFC in the iPhone 5. You know if they would have, it would soon be supported all over!! As much as we all don't like to believe it, Apple/iPhone influences a lot of technology in other fields.

Haha. Can't answer these. Had full time 4G in Houston since Tbolt was released. Have to drive 50 miles to find 3G.
Well seems like my city is lit up I've held 4G all day and I love it! I'm in cali in the high desert so its super exciting to finally have it. Honestly don't even wanna turn wifi on :beer:

Hear that. Have unlimited data. No reason to ever use wifi as long as 4G is hot. :laugh:
