Why would they sell a phone that was defective? Why do they not own up that the device did not and has not functioned?
Let me add some other issues I missed.
7) Dials multiple times the same number.
8) Dials the number minutes after trying to call a phone number
9) constantly force closes applications.
10) Battery life is non existent (I have bought at least 8 spare batteries)
11) Slow to respond
Let me just post what I have done.
1) I stopped by a store
2) Called customer service
3) tried to create a question in forum and verizon deleted it.

Why is the Droid Charge the most expensive Verizon smartphone at the moment?

What will happen to my unlimited 3G data plan if VZW gives me the Samsung Droid Charge 4G phone?

I currently have the Samsung Fascinate and the unlimited data plan, with a 20% corporate
discount . The 2-year contract started when I bought the Fascinate in November 2010.
If I'm not mistaken, my unlimited plan is grandfathered in, even after Verizon changed the
2GB limit for data plans.
There is no 4G service in my part of the state. There won't be 4G for at least 2 years,
according to the Verizon corporate store manager. My part of the state was the second
to last to get 3G on the east coast.
If I take Verizon's offer and accept the Samsung Droid Charge 4G as a replacement phone,
what will happento my existing unlimited 3G data plan? Can they activate the 4G phone
on a 3G data plan?
Will the 4G phone pick up 4G signal when I travel to a major city with 4G service? (nearest
city with 4G is 230 miles away)

If I understand their policy correct you will continue your current unlimited 3G plan and have access to 4G in coverage areas as long as you DON'T change your plan. If you change your plan new rates will apply.
Can one of the Verizon guys here verify this?
Consider it verified, Steve!

Support Non-Existant?

Okay so, going back over this, I sent a ticket with old skype support about a charge back to get an account restriction lifted off of my account... they could not help me and I could not give them the information required because the information has been lost for years... come on support it should be an easy simple process of point & click to get the desired result... I have been the account holder for years and I don't feel like it should be necessery just to make a new account to get around this problem that means I would have to re-add 80+ people just to be on my friends list once again.
Back to the problem, Old skype support before Microsoft took over required that I have the payment information on hand, due to various circumstances my credit card had to be re-issued several times and that resulted in a different number. I do not have the old card number on file. However the card was attached to the bank account I have today, and I asked the bank what it would take to get a print out of all transactions going back to 2009. Guess what, I would have to pay the bank a significant ammount just to get that information, not worth it but come on support is going to expect me to have to pay over $100 just to get that information to them? No thanks dudes, id rather you do your job.
New support though, with Microsoft in charge... they were rather quick in responding to my prediciment and was going to see if I would have better luck with their support staff, I would like to get a skype number once again and it would be nice guys... but when I sent a same day response on Febuary 15th 2014 I got no response back and later on in the year I decided to try again. This time I cannot find a way to get a hold of Skype support, through the endless maze of links in the new skype webage it seems (Email Support) does not exist. I mean what is going on guys I would rather have this taken care of and I have been waiting a long long time just to get it taken care of, are you so busy sitting behind your desks [text redacted] you cannot even bother to help customers who would want to pay you cash just to recieve one of your services?

K7t266pro-2-ru Terrible Mobo! MSI Tech support non existent

I have a K7t266pro-2-ru ver 2.0 and it will not boot from floppy to dos. Therefore I cannot update the bios nor load an operating system. Tried Update 2 but they have you make a floppy.( which this board won't boot from. )Wrote to MSI Tech support several times(You think they would know the problem) never getting any answer. Think I will get an Asus or Biostar Motherboard and throw this one away. Tried everything including loading hard drive on another computer. Works then(Sort of) No way to disable bios protection.(Not even in the list) Anyone interested in a motherboard CHEAP

Its the Motherboard, and i too am having problems with my MSI at the moment for different reasons, which is also leading me to a decision for another motherboard (Gigabyte/Epox are mobo's i have never had ANY problems with, and if there were any, there is excellent support for both of these)
I don't think it is a faulty motherboard, since other ppl are claiming to have the same problems with this model motherboard. Msi need to program Bios a little better than they're doing, since i think it may be a bios problem. X(
I'm not 100% sure it's a bios problem since there have to be others using this board without problems. I have tried different versions with no success. I would suspect a design flaw. Note this board has been discontinued. When I use Si Soft Sandra it did not even have the 1.44 floppy in the list of supported floppy drives. On mine the floppy drive works after the O/S gets up and running but will not boot to the floppy. I got disgusted with tech support and bought a Gigabyte GA-7vrxp. Works great, but now I have a very expensive K7T266 Pro-2 RU paperweight. Not even sure if I want to send it back to get fixed. Seems like throwing good money after bad considering the lack of support. Hate to bash MSI but I'm calling it the way I see it, after many attempts to get any kind of response what so ever. I will try a different brand of floppy as Bas suggested but I don't have much hope.

LOB support non-existant

From the JDBC 8.1.6 driver readme:
"1. There is a limitation regarding the use of stream input for LOB types. Stream input for LOB types can only be used for 8.1.6 JDBC OCI driver connecting to an 8.1.6 Oracle server. The use of stream input for LOB types in all other configurations may result in data corruption. PreparedStatement stream input APIs include:
setBinaryStream(), setAsciiStream(), setUnicodeStream(),
setCharacterStream() and setObject()."
Since the 8.1.6 Oracle Server doesn't even EXIST yet as far as I'm concerned, this amounts to "we don't support or acknowledge the existance of LOBs". Come on Oracle, if you're going to market the heck out of something, at least have it working first. And when it doesn't work, FIX IT.
What IS the story???

When I plug my Droid Incredible 2 into a car charger the phone is now permanently in"Car Mode" and won't get out. I heard that Droid will fix this, but it hasn't happened. Does anyone know how to fix i

I have a Droid Incredible 2 phone. I bought car charger and ever since I have used it, the phone thinks it is in "car mode" even when the phone is in my home, my purse,...I sets to speaker and I can not hear the phone ring. It freezes on "car mode". I heard that Droid is supposed to be fixing the problem, but nothing has happened yet. Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone at Verizon know when/if this will be fixed. If not, I expect a new phone from Verizon.

there are two ways, usually if u restart the phone it will reset, but the other is going to your system and shut it off manually...

Droid Charge Support page down?

I see that the Verizon Wireless Support page for the Samsung Droid Charge is down....I keep getting a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error, can anyone else open it up?

Actually, it keeps going down, then comes back up and then it was just down again, but now it is back up. It keeps going back and forth for me, one second I get internal error then it comes back up.

If I'm in Europe, can I use Skype on Droid Charge(via Wi-Fi) to call US phone numbers?

If I'm in Europe, can I use Skype on Droid Charge(via Wi-Fi) to call US phone numbers?
Obviously there's no voice or data roaming for Verizon 3G/4G/CDMA phones in Europe.... (or am I wrong?)
Thanks in advance!

Hello WCMack,
That was a great explanation on the situation. Just to confirm, Europe uses GSM for their wireless network. There are third party apps that will allow you to make calls via wi-fi on a wi-fi enabled device. This is largely due if wi-fi is available and if it's free.
From my experience, I was able to make wi-fi calls on my Iphone 4 in Greece without any problems last month. Since we don't own any towers in Europe, the service is hit or miss. Feel free to update us when you get back.
Enjoy your trip!...

After update my iphone 4, I have problem charging my phone. It will always display Charging is not supported with this accessory

After update my iphone 4, I have problem charging my phone. It will always display charging is not supported with this accessory. What happen to iOS 5, how come it can register my charger?

I have a 3Gs and I cant charge my iPone with any of my non Apple charges such as my Logitech stereo since I upgraded to IOS5... what did Apple do?

Need help with Droid Charge camera shuting off phone

We have two droid charge phones that we got in April on Amazon. We are trying to troubleshoot with Samsung and getting not much help. Phone dies quickly at times, but not other times. It consistently shuts off when taking pictures, though, on both phones. It is clear to us that the phone has a problem because we have two. I've seen two work-arounds. One is getting a bigger battery that requires a new larger phone back. The other is to put the phone in Airplane Mode. Apparently, this problem is due to a "power load" issue. So, the phones are inherently defective.
We like the phones and at brief times we have been fooled into thinking they are working fine... because once in a while the camera works fine. We haven't had any replacement phones because it seems that so many have this issue and therefore, figured what is the point. We would like to know if other Droid Charge cameras don't have this issue because we expect to be able to use the camera. We have 3 little boys and we already have lost pictures from the last day of school because we counted on this phone. Sounds like a small problem until you look at it that way.
Really wish Amazon, Verizon or Samsung could get us a good solution to a seemingly nice phone.

Nolpost and smsmoot, I’m sorry to hear of the issues you are having with the phone shutting off when using the camera. This is no fun! I use my camera often and would hate for it to reboot my phone every time I use it. I can only imagine how frustrating that must be. But don’t worry guys because I’m here to help!
How long have you guys had this issue? Does it happen every time you use the camera? Did you notice this started after the software update? If so, have you performed a hard reset http://bit.ly/w21WpW since the update?
If you have already performed a hard reset and are still experiencing this issue, please send me a DM with your name and mobile number so I can access your account and further assist you.
I look forward to hear from you guys.

Continued issues with droid charge, Verizon not of any help

Another week, one day I spent 87 minutes on the phone with Verizon Wireless. Many visits to the store, many other long phone calls. Poor customer service, the Samsung Charge has been replaced again, same problems. Many people have admitted these problems, from store associates to managers, yet when I speak with Verizon they will not move us out of this phone into something that works, only to lesser, older phones available, some I can't even find on the site. We are not the only people having problems with this phone and no one will accept the failures that continue to happen with this Samsung Charge. We have had LG, Motorolla, etc. My iPhone doesn't give me one bit of problem, nor have our other phones, just this one. I would think after being loyal customers that they would be more willing to help. I have only had one supervisor that actually was helpful, as much as he was allowed. Another supervisor was down right rude, his manager was to call me within 72 hours and has still not called me. I think we will be foreced to switch carriers and never purchase another Samsung phone product.

I'm not the original poster but found this post while trying to find a solution to my problem. My problem is the contacts and everything related to them but most importantly, syncing with Microsoft Outlook.
1) When I add a contact directly to my phone and mark it as a phone contact and save, it stays on the phone for a few days and then all the "phone" contacts just disappear. I reinstall them and they disappear again, after another few days. So, I tried installing them as Corporate contacts and they stayed longer. Then I started having a different problem.
2) My corporate contacts are set to sync automatically every day. Most days the phone is okay but after another few days, I'll look and my contacts have loaded again, the exact same contact is now on my phone twice. I went to the store and the guy said to just delete the second contact from the phone. Really, that was his response. I didn't think it would do much good but I followed his advise. Everything was fine for a few days...then,
3) My corporate contacts synced two, three and even four times...the same contact on my phone. Knowing the guy at the store would just tell me to delete the extra's, I did and guess what...I have the contacts on my phone but they are no longer in my Microsoft Outlook contacts list. Deleted from Outlook. I can't get them to sync back to Outlook again.
If I can get the contacts to reload on Microsoft Outlook, I'll disable the sync program but geezzzeeeee. I do not want to retype more than 2000 contacts back into Outlook.
What do I do?

Droid Charge now a FREE phone :O

Wow.
Amazon.com: Samsung Droid Charge (Verizon Wireless): Cell Phones & Accessories
Free $15 in App store credit too

I caught this deal at AmazonWireless about a week and a half ago. $119.99 on 2 year renewal. No tax. It's the first time I bought a phone anywhere but the Verizon corporate store. Everything has gone well and I would do it again. Got the $15 Amazon credits for MP3s, Kindle and Amazon Apps (5 bucks each). The phone also came with a card for $25 credit at the Samsung Media Hub. Very happy with this price.
The only drawback in using Amazon Wireless (or any other dealer except Verizon) is a separate agreement to keep the phone on the line for 180 days (6 mos) so the retailer can get their rebate from the manufacturer. If you swap out the phone before that, you get hit with a separate $250 charge. I only realized this could be a problem after I bought the phone. I was speaking to an Amazon Wireless phone rep who was helping me get my phone provisioned at Verizon. I mentioned that I was keeping my Storm2 in case I went to Europe since I could just swap the Charge out for the Storm and use it in Europe. She then informed me about the penalty. I asked if it would apply if I only swapped the Charge out for a week or two. After putting me on hold to check with her supervisor, she came back and said that ANY INTERRUPTION in having the Charge on the line would trigger the penalty. The problem may be with the manufacturer, but I'm not sure.
I don't have any plans to go to Europe in the next six months, but I thought I would mention this since it could bite someone in the butt. Overall, I would buy from Amazon again. $269 plus tax (after $30 NE2) from Verizon vs. $119 with no tax from Amazon. Very happy here!

Droid X battery will not charge when phone is in vehicle mount

Droid X battery will not charge when phone is in vehicle mount. If you plug phone directly in to car charger it charges fine. This makes using the GPS virtually useless as it runs down the battery very fast. Anyone else have this problem. Other wise I love the phone.

Many of the Verizon Droid X car mounts have defective wires in them. This problem is widely reported on many forums and websites. You should return your product for a brand new replacement that is not defective (that is, the car charger will charge your Droid X when it is in the car mount).
I happen to love the Verizon Droid X car mount. Lot of ways to adjust it from different angles for different placements. Just get a Verizon Droid X car mount replacement that does not have defective wires in it, and it should work just fine!
