[Q] Coming up on my two weeks with the revolution Should keep or trade for Charge?

All,
Almost two weeks ago on Fri. I received my Revolution. purchased from VZW on line.
Over all I like it, but there are a few IMO major issues that make me think of returning it and getting a Droid Charge.
The first and most troubling is that fact that even though I'm in a 4G area I have some apps that can not connect via 4g or even 3G. They need Wifi to connect even though they are supposed to use any connection.
I tried several of these on the TB and Charge in the VZW store. and they failed on the TB, but the Charge ran them no problem. I plan on trying them again tonight on the TB and Charge to see if the original results have changed.
Now my major issues with the Charge are the form factor/build and the hard buttons. as well as the UI (which can be changed).
I hate having to pay for 4G that only works on occasion.
Verizon doesn't care about any apps, they said if I have a 4G signal and can make and receive calls then there is nothing wrong. I have not called LG about this.
I have rooted the Revolution and understand that the Charge can be rooted as well.
I've heard that Gingerbread is coming to the LG sometime next month, but have no idea if that will fix the connectivity issues.
Given these facts does anyone have any suggestions/opinions about keeping the Revolution or Paying the $35 and getting a Charge?

I had the Revolution for 14 days and just exchanged it for a Charge today. I did a lot of research to select the Revolution over the Charge and TB however there were a few pain points that I couldn't get over:
1. The phone would shut itself off randomly (twice). A friend who has the Revo has the same problem.
2. One day the screen blacked out. I continued to receive calls but the screen wouldn't turn back on. I removed the battery, restarted the phone, then when it loaded back up, it shut down completely. Turning it on again seemed to fix whatever the issue was.
3. Sometimes phone calls would ring for ~6 seconds while the screen remained black, attempting to load the call screen so I could answer.
4. When ending a call, I consistently had to wait ~2-4 seconds before the End button would actually end the call. This was annoying, especially when I got someone's voicemail and wanted to end the call.
5. Grabbing a connection whether 3g or 4g seemed to be MUCH slower then my Droid X.
I'm happy so far -- my Revo pulled 7-8mbps down and 3-4 up where the Charge is getting 13-14mbps down and 4-5 up from the exact same location in my house. Also with ADW launcher, the "lagginess" of the Charge stock UI has gone away.
I too didn't get the Charge initially because of the form but with a body glove case on it I don't mind it at all.
It's a tough call... none of these 4g phones seem to be perfect so it's really up to you if you can live with the downfalls you currently have. There's no saying moving to a new 4g phone will fix your issues... but maybe it will!

The design kept me away from it. Petty, I know, but the thing looks like a turd.
I mean, seriously?

If they had forgone the logo at the bottom and squared it off shorter, I might have kind of liked it, but that color as well... what is it, a dark brown too?

I have had my LG for just over a week. I like it quite a bit. A lot of the guys here seem to be working pretty fast to get some working roms.
What bugs me:
Redundancies. If I get an email, I get the What's New app, and review the email. The email notification stays on the status bar, until I go to the email app directly, and review the email.
Emails. I am not getting them through the stock email. It will not connect to the "server" I don't know what issue it's having. I downloaded Yahoo Mail, and it works fine.
4G. Nice, but it is a battery killer. I switched to CDMA only, and it's fine, until I want to use Google Nav and it takes forever to load. A switch option, without having to reboot, would be nice.
Bing. **** you Microsoft.
Google. Google doesn't work properly. Google search will work peachy for the voice requests, but I can not type into the search.
Likes: I was on US Cellular before this, and sadly, they don't have 3G here. There is hope out there, that Verizon will buy US Cellular in the near future.
4G. Blink, it's done.
Smooth. The design is nice, the programming is smooth, and responsive.
Quality. Overall quality of the the phone is nice. I moved from the HTC Desire which had a cheap feel. The UI was nice, but this one isn't bad, just takes some getting used to.
Customization. Thanks to everyone here (a donation is on the way soon (my wife has to approve it, lol)) there is cool stuff in the works for the LG.
If you have an issue with your phone, I would turn it in for a replacement, and skip getting the Samsung Charge.

Screen wakes up from sleep/standby by itself.

Hello guys, I'm interested in buying a galaxy note from somebody, but it has a problem. The screen wakes up from sleep by itself multiple times. From what I understand it turns on, then turns off, a few seconds later it turns on, then off.
I've seen this problem on other forums, and some answers include turning off/uninstalling some programs, but the guy who owns the phone said he restored to factory default. (The phone is rooted.)
Is this a fixable problem? Is it a big bother to stop me from trying to buy the phone? Is this a hardware or software? Did anyone have this problem and fix it? Thanks.
Ah poop wrong section (supposed to be in the Q&A right). Had the wrong tab open, sorry.

You could try cleaning the use port. Maybe the phone thinks something is being plugged in

I have had this problem, but it only ever happens when you turn the Note on while on charge. If you disconnect before turning on it never happens. No idea if that helps, but that is my experience.

i had this same problem and it was caused by go weather app because it wasn't able to access the internet for some reason..
i reinstalled the app and it solved the problem..
i have included a screenshot of night time usage when this problem existed.i did not use the phone during the entire 8 hours..the phone was acting by itself..

Thanks a bunch for the answers guys, some new answers I haven't seen. I bought the phone, so hopefully if it happens I can fix it.
Just in case somebody else is looking for the same answer (since it's a rare problem), some possible answers I've read on other forms (haven't tried any of these):
1. Clear cache/memory from the task manger.
2. Check apps. that connect online (including widgets), and disable/reinstall them (like what johnvarghese said). This might happen with there is no wifi. (Also check which apps might wake up your phone from sleep.)
3. Somebody (on a random forum) told me to turn on the GPS.
4. Some applications can be used for locking/unlocking/ or disabling other programs/ or turning of wifi when the phone turns off, not sure, more info. could be found if you google search.
Again thanks a bunch guys.

Congradulations on your new phone. Ive been a happy note owner for almost a month. On stock 4.0.3 just root. The problem ur refering to dosent seem to me as a problem, my note and nexus s have the same issue and a few friends owners of android devices get the same "behaviour" whether on ics or gb. When i look at my battery stats, during the night the phones battery usage is literally a flat line but with many wake ups in the screen. Above a user posted a screen shot over an 8 hour period with massive drain. thats not normal. you shouldnt worry yourself as long as your battery is holding up properly.

Thanks a lot I'm really enjoying this phone the more I know it's features. I'll probably stop using my Acer a500 tablet and my laptop. I don't know whether to install a custom rom or not I'm afraid of bricking my phone. Also Swype is awesome.

better battery stats, helped me alot.
i had same problem.

I had the same issue,
in my case, mp3 downloader's ad Notification was waking up my screen,
I found it out by using app "Wakelock detector" GooglePlay Link
you need to check for "full wakelocks", check the screenshot

Screend issue resolved (Culprit:- Facebook locked by Applock)
I have locked facebook app with 'Applock software, which was causing the problem.:crying:
Now I have removed Facebook from 'Applock software list.
Now it is working fine. :fingers-crossed:
P.S. other application are still locked by Applock software:good:

Now all we need is that unlocked bootloader.

After speaking with ZTE customer support, I was told that they would not officially offer any type of unlocked Bootloader. Also, they made it clear that the Bootloader is to remain inaccessible on the A1P

So far the new patch has been working really good.... Also the battery life has improved

Just got the update notification on my A1P and when I try to complete the update, it tells me "system update failure - package mismatch". Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave that a shot and it didn't work. I just noticed as well the update I'm attempting to download is 96mb, not 7mb as noted by the original poster. Would this be the original b25 update?
Unfortunately I can't post a screenshot, as I'm newly registered. When the update fails, the screen gives me a "status - 8 package mismatch" error before booting and then forces a reboot. Once rebooted and I check on the system update tab, it tells me "unable to update - package mismatch 403". Love the feel of this phone, but a bit frusturated that 2 days into owning it, it's already giving me issues.

Yes the 96mb is the first updated that came out last week.
I would suggest calling ZTE customer support as they have been very quick and helpful to me.
The Customer Axon Support Line: 800-617-5065 (this is the USA number)
Also another way to get there attention is to post and tag them on Twitter @axonPhone they monitor their twitter feed closely.

i am having poor GSM signals on my device, and secondly the recent apps take like 2 to 3 seconds if i press the kill all button
any one else has same issue?
i alsi noticed that the screen is a bit peeling out from the bottom left side :/

GPS issues with this phone. Neither Waze or Google maps are working properly. My old Lg Leon cheap ass phone worked much better when it came to positioning.
Second: Speaker on the phone is not working. Can't use it on loud speaker only holding it by my ear.
Third: Headphones (JBL came in box) don't work well. Mic doesn't work, music stops by itself as if I pressed pause button. Weird experience. Expected more.
Does anybody else have the same problems?

Just to update, I spoke with Ashley at ZTE about this issue. Apparently, they had another 1-2 devices with the same issue as mine, but otherwise nothing. They're sending me a new device, as they had no other solution. All and all I'm pleased with their service. Everytime I've called, they've picked up right away and been helpful. Hopefully the new device doesn't have the same issue as mine regarding the update.

Extreme battery drain?? 6.0.1

Has anyone else run into this after 6.0.1 update. It really didn't hit me until last night when I decided to test it. Unplugged my phone at 80% and went to sleep only to wake up to it dropping almost 50%!!!!!....not normal. It looks like something is just not right with everything after the update because after checking everything, nothing seems to fit. And before you say it was my wifi, I just changed that, this happened even if wifi was off. But I can say doze is definitely not working and no app seemed to go "rouge" with wakelocks when trying to check. Going to downgrade back to a previous build of 6.0, but hopefully someone else can chime in. Only found a few articles of people reporting the same thing but no one is actually posting possible solutions, just bashing a legitimate concern. Hopefully I don't run into that here.....

Only out of place thing I see is that your screen was on at some points but the phone wasn't saying it was awake. That leads me to believe there's a kernel wakelock issue because I had the same thing but on 5.1. The issue turned out for me to be a wakelock called bluesleep which is related to bluetooth and it came about from an app called gasbuddy which silently updated to provide support for bluetooth "beacons" at gas stations to give you deals or some crap like that. If you're rooted you can install BetterBatteryStats to test for kernel wakelocks, you can test for bluesleep wakelock by just turning off bluetooth and seeing if the drain/weird screen-on not awake thing happens, and long press power off to start the phone in safe mode to narrow down whether its a system issue or installed app issue and if rooted use an app freezer like Titanium Backup to freeze your installed apps a few at a time to narrow down what app(s) are causing it(so you don't have to uninstall/reinstall trial and error).

Wow thanks for that, I actually use GasBuddy, wish you were here before the factory reset I did, but everything seemed to go back to normal after I did the reset but I wanted to actually try to find out specifics. I haven't rooted just because I use Android pay (I know system less root us out there) but I'll try to keep an eye out for that stuff if it happens again.

Lol, it's all good, but yea, that wasn't the issue, doing now with wifi always on and battery drain is normal and doze is working properly, so probably a bad flash and factory reset fixed it, although I really wish there are ways around that

Maintenance update - gyroscope issues.

Hi
Does any of you experience gyroscope not working after a while on the new firmware 1.275 with maintenance update?
I turn the phone off and leave it for a minute and back on and it works.

Yes, i notice the issues too. It comes with latest update, and appears in random time every day

Hi.
Yes, I notice it too and find it annoying. As far as I can tell, this is a software issue and not hardware and to think that Sony would make such an error is incredible.
A reboot and it works for a short while, then back to not working again.
*shrugs*

Is there somewhere to log the fault on phone or has anybody tried to do something with pc companion or do just have to what for them to fix it

Hi
I am on sw 1.238 only apps were updated no system update has been installed and i have the rotation issue as well.
I think one of the apps (i think one of the sony apps) is causing the problem.

I just did the gyroscope diagnostic and I still pass. The ball just moves slightly more jerky than usual. I have not had any functional issues while in use. The phone has been on for 3 days currently.

Thanks for the feedback people... I was about to break my phone as I got pissed over this bad quality phone.
This being said, this will probably be my last Sony phone, they have made errors on every phone and lies regarding quality and photo.
A reboot helps, for a while

Sonys answer would be like..
You can restart our performance phone and open the camera again, you might miss the moment but trust in Sony... If you are able to take a picture then you are lucky as our touchscreen is a piece of cheap ****.
Enjoy our x performance, unmatched quality.
Sent from my F8131 using XDA-Developers mobile app

It is strange. I had this issue once. Since then there were these updates and I disabled a few apps, for example AR effect or lifelog (preinstalled "system" apps, which cannot be uninstalled without root).
My last restart was four days ago - meanwhile I took quite a lot pictures - no issues so far. If it helps by any means I can post my list of disabled apps - it might be at least a workaround...?!?

I had the same problem.
Did a sofware repair through companion and after the maintenance update again the accelerometer and compass stop working. Really seems to be a software bug with the new maintenance update.

It is strange. I had this issue once. Since then there were these updates and I disabled a few apps, for example AR effect or lifelog (preinstalled "system" apps, which cannot be uninstalled without root).
My last restart was four days ago - meanwhile I took quite a lot pictures - no issues so far. If it helps by any means I can post my list of disabled apps - it might be at least a workaround...?!?

Hi,
Please share your disabled apps. I would like to try to disable them.
Edit:
I have foun your list on sony support forum, thanks.
I will try to disable these apps one by one. Let's see which is causing the problem.
As i am still on 35.0.A.1.238 and never installed system update just the apps were updated i think one of the apps is causing the problem.

Hopefully it fixes your problem as well - maybe it was just coincidence, but I didn't have this problem for quite a while now...

Thanks.
My phone is still ok for like 15 hours without issue.
I have 2 apps disabled.
Avg since i bought the phone so this ia not a problem.
Playstation app
And the whats new is the factory version.

:good:
It might be the combination. I did not touch "What's new" so far... as long as the issue seems to be solved, it's fine - but it might be interesting for our fellow guys, what exactly caused and / or cured it

I think this is caused by maintenance update provided a few days ago.
This updated system "memory" app, and uninstalling the update may fix the issue.
Go to: setting>app>all app>memory>uninstall update

My accelerometer stopped working.... but gyro working fine..... I tried service tests using *#*#7378423#*#*.....
just noticed this issue while I was trying to see the images in landscape mode.... waiting for 7.0

Gyroscope/Auto-Rotation Issue
Hey everyone,
I'm also having this same issue, but only since the most recent update from late September. When trying to make a pic display as fullscreen by rotating the phone, nothing happens, unless I reboot the phone. Then within day or two, it starts happening again. When I go to camera it loads up and STAYS in landscape mode, no matter what I do, even closing it out and clearing out the cache & force stopping it then reactivating it. It seems like a software issue that Sony needs to address PRONTO!
It appears another thread here on XDA is dealing with the same issue. I tried shenlong85's idea and it seems to have fixed the issue, but I need another day or so to make sure. If you don't hear from me by Sunday (10/23), assume it's been fixed. Hopefully the Nougat update we're all about to get any day now will permanently fix it!

You find the uninstall updates option in the top right corner menu. Click the three dots.
I just tried it. Keeping my fingers crossed...
