Looks like signal bars changed, too. I don't recall 5 bars. I might be wrong.

I just got the update and it installed smoothly. Also, my AT&T S8 has had 5 signal bars since I have owned it.
I think the radio has been improved. I usually only have 2 bars at my house and I now have 4.

So thanks to all the hard work and shared knowledge by everyone here, I am running a very nicely customized AT&T Tilt.
Based on Alex.v5.ATT.161.UltraClean.ROM, FWIW.
Then tonight, out of nowhere, I get a blank text message, and in my status bar up top I get a little icon that looks like a satellite dish. There's no record of the text message in messaging.
So I figure, eh, WTF, soft reboot. Goes away, all looks good. Now about a half hour later it happens again.
Is AT&T trying to push some firmware update or something? Can you actually do this from the radio, without going into bootloader? It (the icon at top) persists even in flight mode, so i'm really confused what it could be communicating with..?
Forgive me in advance if this is a total n00b question, but figured if anyone knew the ROMs well enough to know all the secret holes, it would be this group... TIA!

After rooting with Infused it is showing 3/4 sometimes 4/4 bars in my apt and I know for a fact that I have next to no service depending where i am and always had 0 or 1 bar before rooting. Now it shows almost full but will not send/receive texts. I used to be able to send texts if I sat it on the end of the couch but now I don't even get that.
I know you have to calibrate the battery after installing a rom but do you have to do something similar with the signal strength as well? Mine is way off.
theres no calibration for signal strength.

Do other phones have no signal in your home. It is possible a tower went online.

Yes they do. AT&T doesn't get that great of service in my place. The Infuse does seem worse than my iphone as far as reception I just need to move. Weird thing is that this phone will show full bars but can't even send a text. Knowing my signal strength before installing a rom I know it was always at 1 or no bars depending where it was in my apt.

Try returning to stock. Really sounds like a tower went online for you.
As to not being able to send a text - I stopped being able to send texts a few days ago, but I can't send anything from no less than 3 different phones using my SIM.
Can you call out or use data?
I can but I have to be in a perfect spot. I just picked up an AT&T 3g micro cell tower. Supposed to give me 5 bars in the house. Where I am is really a dead spot for ATT. I'm out right now and the phone is working great out side of that area.
My wife has an iphone 4 and gets better service but still only one bar for her. infuse antenna must be a little weaker maybe.

Nate is right. The thread is for changing the radio. But we only have 2 different radios. Try the other one and see if you receive a better signal.

You seem to have heard right so far. Thing is acting like complete garbage. I can not send a picture message to save my life.
call me weird but i was expecting more. the update release said new widgets and icons and colors and all im seeing is a new color on the notification bar. i have yet to find new widgets or icons or different looking icons or widgets. the phone looks exactly the same except for the notification bar and that little yellow thing that pops up when you reach the bottom of a screen. yes im happy about the speed improvement. the phone is a lot faster then before but other then that its the same old charge
the color scheme is wack. FUGLY!

This was a software update, not a device refresh. They fixed bugs, revved the Android version, and improved the radios. I'm not sure why you (or anyone else) was expecting major changes to the look/functionality of the device.
I'm not sure why they didn't at least take the Stratosphere's interface design/colors (which is more uniform), as that is essentially the same phone with a smaller screen and physical keyboard.

The Verizon PDF said so, that's why.
I see this as a major rip off. It's the biggest case of false advertisement since the Marvel Comic "The New Fantastic Four" which stated on the cover that the Punisher makes a cameo appearance and the only place you can find him is in an ad for subscriptions.
I don't really care seeing as I'm running the ICS theme....but F-U Verisung.

One legitimate complaint that I have is they borked the built in screen capture function. You can no longer capture some screens (notification shade for example) because the phone lags while trying to produce a stupid animation before capturing the screen.
Yes, it would be possible to use an app from the market but I should not need to. They essentially removed a useful feature.
Also I find that the orange page limit glow gets in the way or certain things. It sometimes covers up what I am trying to look at. If I want to drag a photo to be able to see the edge in the gallery app for example when zoomed in. The stupid orange glow covers up the picture; having the glow cover up a web page is one thing but covering up the edge I am trying to look at is wrong. Essentially they removed the functionality of being able to drag a web page, image, etc., to the center of the screen and view it.

Camera Issue
I was pleased with the update, and color scheme doesn't matter to me near as much as a more stable radio, and more responsive interface. Here is the reason I wish I would not have updated. CAMERA! I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old. Before, you could press and hold the shutter button to focus, and when you released it instantly snapped the shot. Now, that's a no go! A second + lag...... Hard to get the "good" shot that is hard to get. Bummer!
i love the speed improvements thats for sure. the phone is 100 times faster then it was but i think if verizon is going to publish documents claiming new icons and new widgets they should probably deliver on that.
I get FFC so I'm happy.

Well I just got my Charge from FedEx man 20 minutes ago, and after turning on phone and it "activating" the GSB update was the first screen to pop up, no user setup, Google account, etc. So i can't say how well the old version worked :/ But The update downloaded off 4G FAST...first app off market was Speed Test, and it got blazing 23069kbps down and 14094kbps up!

Got my Charge in May. I run stock because I don't care what the interface looks like. I need it to work, no time for bricks, make phone calls, txt, Google Docs etc. I was about done with Froyo because it was getting so slow, it seemed almost like it was being emulated on my phone. Was about to make a stink with Verizon.
Got the update. It fixed every single bug/complaint I ever had with the phone, and/or it enhanced every feature by fine tuning it.
Here is a short list of complaints fixed immediately:
GUI now hauls butt with little or no lag
bluetooth works perfectly and connects to my headset and stays connected
programs close on their own - don't have to constantly free memory
GPS works and is accurate
Yahoo Mail in email actually WORKS
The call quality is the clearest of any phone I've ever had (I do have great coverage here). 4G LTE hauls butt. With GB This phone makes my old iPhone looks like a piece of garbage.
Just my opinion.
i found the fancy new icons they were boasting about. the update available and download complete icons are new. ooohhhh aahhhhh.

My phone doesn't show an available update yet, not sure why, perhaps it's because I'm running Humble 5.0 and not stock . . . Anyway, when I do get the new OTA, how do I get the new icons/widgets? Is it a separate download or something? Thanks!
I'm new to this. I don't know whether it's just my phone or for others as well. For the stock messaging app that comes with OrDroid 7 and 8, regardless of the other versions: I've set the message preview to show only 1 line, but after I restart my phone or wait a couple hours, it will automatically change back to show 2 lines. But I go into settings, it still says show "1 line".
Message App > Menu > Settings > General > Message Preview
I don't know whether this is known bug or it's just me. Has any other experience this problem?
i have the same issue. this probably should be reported on the OrDroid thread.
also i have noticed that after setting the option to receive a delivery report for SMS/MMS, it will only work once, after you exit the messaging app, you'll need to set it again.

Yeah I would report it to the OrDroid post, but I do not have the 10 post requirement yet. I have 5. So I'm trying to make it up there. Or you can post it there, if you want to. And yeah, I've noticed that about the delivery report as well, but I usually don't use that. I just wanted to try and turn it off, but it just turned off. So I was fine with it.

although, 2 lines layout in the messaging app isn't that bad...actually i prefer it over the 1 line, but it's up to you.

Haha. Maybe. I mean it isn't that much of a big deal. I can live with the 2 line message preview, but I would prefer 1 line as well.

Ohh, one more question: Are you receiving weak signals? One or two bars only? I don't think I've seen my signalling bar higher than 3 bars...

my signal is great on ordroid, could be related to the coverage in your area.
also, if you'd want to try something out "needs a bit of tinkering", when you open your battery back cover, you see the gold metal contacts, and same on your battery cover, those should contact each other 100% once you close back your phone. some of those contacts might not come in good contact with the back cover over time, so just slightly (just slightly) push those contacts upward, to make a better contact with the cover. if that worked well, you'll find an instant change.....just slightly
if you can live with 2 bars only, and not causing trouble with calling, keep the phone as it is

Hey everyone! I was just wondering how many of you have the new Google Feed that started rolling out last week? I haven't gotten it yet, and I'm even on the Beta program for the Google app. I'm also in the Android Beta Program.
Also, does the updated feed have a translucent effect and show your wallpaper behind it like some of the screenshots I've seen?
I have it on my Pixel. Yes, it does have a translucent background on the top portion of my screen.

Thanks for the reply! I still haven't gotten the rollout on my Pixel. Hopefully I get it soon. The screenshots I've seen look really great.
Did you go anything to get it? I still don't have it on my Pixel (8.0)
Had it for 2 days (started on Thursday 17th Aug 2017) however it disappeared and reverted back to the old one on the Saturday.
Got to be honest, it seems like a poor implementation. The UX is pretty poor. It is like they just want to push News on you instead of giving context aware information. So I am glad they reverted back to the old style.
got it, but can not swipe to mark feed as done anymore.
I just got the new Feed. It looks nice, and has a translucent background. The only disappointing part is that I can't swipe cards away.
