IS THE DROID CHARGE WORTH THE MONEY???

I currently own the original droid and have been researching on my next phone. I have narrowed it down to the Droid Charge or LG Revolution. I leaning towards the Charge. Any suggestion, comments or thoughts.

Hello happy forum members,
I have the Droid Charge & I absolutely LOVE this device. My favorite feature is the 4G mobile hotspot. This feature is currently free until 7/6/11 as a promo. You can connect up to 10 devices to the internet, all with 4G speeds. Also, I love the 8MP camera. The pictures I took on vacation are superb! I think that you will truly enjoy owning this device. Currently the prices is $299.99 with a new 2-yr agreement. I'm not sure what will the price will be during the holidays but this is a device that I couldn't wait to have! You can do some more research on the device as well as read reviews here.

  • My Droid Razr Maxx froze last night. It is not worth the money.

    This is my 2nd Droid since June. The first I had for 2 weeks and the battery was draining in less than 24 hours. This one I got in the 3rd week of June. I bought it because I wanted a good phone camera - I rarely use data, it is used mainly for calls and texting . I DID send a pic to Facebook last weekend, and could not log out of Facebook. This might be the cause of following freezing, don't know). The screen started going crazy occasionally after having it a month. It does the same thing other people have posted - opens apps, opens text messages and types, has made calls, etc. It has also frozen. Last night it froze on me. I tried turning it off and the screen went blank. The battery was not low, but I plugged it in anyway - it didn't show that it was charging so I unplugged it and hoped it would be ok in the morning. Sometime in the night it beeped indicating I had a text. It did it again around 6:30 a.m.. When I got up, it still had the blank screen and the message light was flashing. I couldn't get a screen. I plugged it in to charge it and after app. 15 minutes my screen came up but it was still frozen. I've had two phone calls I couldn't answer. After app. an hour the screen went blank again, and the red circling image indicating it's turning on started and has now been running for about 30 minutes. I no longer have a land line and am going to have to drive 27 miles to a store to get it fixed when I need to be preparing for the coming hurricane. I'm posting this as additional evidence that something is wrong with these phones, and they are not worth the money.

      When the RAZR/ RAZR MAXX freezes, you can hold down both the Power and the Volume Down button at the same time for about 7-10 seconds, until it flashes. This is what is called a "Soft Reset". You will not lose anything because of this reset.  As far as your battery time, 24 hours between charges might be considered good. It all depends on what apps you have installed, the location and signal of the towers for coverage, etc. I take mine off the charger around 5:00 AM, and when I go to bed at 10:00 PM, I am usually between 30-60%, depending on my usage during the day.

  • Is Quicktime Pro worth the money?

    Like my subject says, I am considering purchasing the serial to upgrade to Quicktime Pro 7 and just wondering if it is actually worth the money or if the normal Quicktime is good enough?
    thanks

    The Pro upgrade allows you to create content (start to finish) using QuickTime.
    Things like image sequence imports (think claymation), adding images and audio to video, converting file formats (iPod come to mind) and dozens of other uses.
    Nearly all of my "movies" are made using QuickTIme Pro and I've been a user (and buyer since version 3 was the first time they charged extra for it) for many years.
    Take a few minutes trying some of my video links:
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war
    to learn the power and versatility found in the Pro upgrade.

  • Itunes is charging me for something my brother tried to buy, even though I didn't have the money on my account. I can't download free apps or anything cause they say I owe them 36 dollars for something I couldn't even afford.

    I was trying to download free apps, and found out Itunes wants to charge me 36 dollars for something my brother was trying to download for his Cartoon Wars game on his ipod. They charged me the money and now I can't do anything because they want the 36 dollars. Need to get these charges taken off so I can use the card again.

    Just need to find a way to get a hold of someone who can fix this.

  • What can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for VZW on Sept 8?

    what can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for Verizon on September 8?
    I guess it can run fine on Wi-Fi and become a media player.... or is there a market for 1-month-old Droid Charge phones?
    How much trade-in value can I get from VZW or BestBuy or Amazon?
    Thanks!

  • So I need to buy a TV series on my family's account, and we want it just to charge the credit card and not the money from an iTunes Card that's already on the account. Is there any way to do this?

    So I need to buy a TV series on my family's account, and we want it just to charge the credit card and not the money from an iTunes Card that's already on the account. Is there any way to do this?

    I am pretty sure it will always use the credit card unless payment method is set to none.
    That has been my experience anyway.
    They already have the money from the gift card so would rather collect from your credit card.

  • Is the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS worth the money for Final Cut Express?

    Hi,
    I'm considering a new iMac 24, but not sure if the speedier on is worth the money.
    Currently I use a MacBook Pro 2.2 for Final Cut Express with a 23" cinema (mostly DV, some HD) and that works okay, but won't play back in real time when I composit video.
    Anybody know if the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS will help in that area?
    Thanks,
    KC

    The speedier video card is great for 3D stuff, but it won't matter a wink for Final Cut Express, which barely makes use of the video card.
    Keep in mind that Final Cut is using the CPU, not video card, to perform the editing, decoding, and encoding of the video. The only time the video card comes into play is during playback of the video, and any of the video options available for iMacs will handle that just fine.
    When you composite video, the hard-disk throughput will start to come into play. The dinky 5400 RPM disk in your laptop will adversely affect the performance of that.

  • Ok, so basically my charger fell apart on my MacBook pro(2010) and I didn't have the money for a new charger, I got it in the states too if that's relevant. Basically my laptop will not charge, I bought a new charger yesterday and it's still no-use

    Ok, so basically my charger fell apart on my MacBook pro(2010) and I didn't have the money for a new charger, I got it in the states too if that's relevant. Basically my laptop will not charge, I bought a new charger yesterday and it's still no-use,not charging . No green or orange light coming on on the new charger either.

    It is one of the items that Apple gets criticized at regular intervals. The MagSafe connector is proprietary and unlicensable, so the company has a lock-in on the power options. And as you have now found out, your hijinks trying to avoid buying an expensive new charger may have caused more damage and led to a total no-charge condition.
    If lucky and no physical damage has occurred (there IS a fuse in there somewhere on the circuit boards), maybe resetting the SMC can restore charge functionality, provided there is still enough juice: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

    SUBJECTS
    Enterprise Resource Planning Systems: This unit allows students to develop an appreciation of the impact of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems on businesses and to understand the issues involved in the design, implementation and maintenance of these systems.  Students also develop practical skills in the use of SAP R/3 as an example of an Enterprise Resource Planning System.
    Business Process Engineering: the strategic and organisational issues of process and workflow management and the use of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERPs) to realise efficient processes.  The subject describes the major strategic approaches, process modelling techniques, procedure models and the current possibilities offered by SAP R/3 as an example of ERPs software that students are likely to encounter in identifying, reorganising and implementing processes in a typical business organisation.
    Management Information Technology: a framework for the management of information technology. Management issues may include: the strategic use of information technology; information technology architectures; information systems planning; information technology investments; and security and privacy and outsourcing.
    Supply Chain and Logistics Management: the concept of supply chain management in the context of movement and storage of components and goods in the spheres of material management, physical distribution and transport and its practical business application.
    Organisation Change Management: organisational design; organisational changes processes and organisational development and change; and skills and competencies in the diagnostic processes for assessing the need for change and the development, implementation and evaluation of change strategies at all organisational levels.
    Enterprise E-Commerce: the integration of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems with E-Commerce and the issues involved.  Many large organisations have implemented Enterprise Resource Planning Systems to integrate their business processes.  These same organisations are now attempting to extend their supply chain via E-Commerce business solutions.
    Enterprise Resource Planning Systems Implementation:  the basic methodologies, techniques and tools that are used in the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems using SAP R/3 as an example.  Many large organisations are making decisions to implemented Enterprise Resource Planning Systems but the implementation is complex and requires specific project management skills and knowledge.
    Strategic Use of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems:  the strategic features of ERP systems and how these features can be utilised within an implementation.  Many large organisations have implemented Enterprise Resource Planning Systems to integrate their business processes and are now attempting to gain further benefits by utilising the strategic features of these systems such as supply chain optimisation, customer relationship management, and data warehousing.

    I did my masters in just computer sciences, but if I had something like this available I would have gone for it. But there are a couple of factors to consider. One is will there be good campus recruitments and what is the rate absorption of candidates for this course. Second question, do I really want to persue this field as my career. ERP is the concept that revolves around the business. So you should have an aptitude for learning how a business operates and functions.
    The course curriculum looks good particularly because it includes topics on Supply Chain Management and Business Process Engineering which are relatively new.
    Another good aspect of it is that it is giving this course with SAP as an example tool. SAP is the leading ERP software company(and many more products are added to its portifolio now).
    Is it worth the money? That you have to decide. You can do a regular masters in computer science, but get a job in a company that trains you in SAP, and learn everything on the job or take some traning from SAP training academies and then start on job. That is one option. But if you want to persue a career in building products in the ERP/SCM areas, then a formal education in that area will be useful. But if you are just interested in implementing existing products then it is not a must.
    Hope I gave you some information that is useful. Please don't forget to reward appropriately for helpful answers and close when completely answered.

  • How well does the Droid Charge do when dropped accidentally?

    how well does the Droid Charge do when dropped accidentally? any screen or internal damages?
    I'm probably going to have some kind of rubberized case.

    Please consider getting an otterbox commuter case at least from amazon or otterbox.com
    the defender series otterbox case with screen protector case isn't being shipped yet so i am using
    the otterbox commuter case with verizon wireless store's 3pack of screen protectors - i do not like screen protectors but verizon sells the ones for the charge specifcally and it will
    hold me over just fine until defender ships in august or september
    either case helps to not accidentally press the power button easily while holding this droid Charge
    there's my advce
    ps these add bulk to phone i like the commuter case it is way sturdy polycarbonate or whatever STRONG black plastic with port covers except for hdmi that already has a cover built into phone
    the defender series will be bulkier

  • IPad or Mac? which is better worth the money?

    iPad or Mac? which one is better worth the money, if mac, which is the cheapest but still gives you all the good apps and qualities? I would use it alot, and i already have an iouch so would the ipad be worth it? im a teenager so i would use these things alot,and i need some features to help with school and just having fun!!

    iPad is not a substitute for a Mac. It's more like a companion to a Mac.
    In desktops, Mac mini should be sufficient and is the only comparable Mac in terms of price, but you need to add a monitor, keyboard.
    In laptops, consider the MacBook Air for its portability, and the MacBook Pro for more options in terms of processing and screen size.
    Visit an Apple Store (the physical kind). The staff is very helpful and will assist ou in making a decision.

  • I've tried the new iWork and feel cheated. I'm gonna stick with my old '09 version. It appears to have lost utility, and is now easily surpassed by Word 07. Is a new version that's worth the money and hype coming?

    I've tried the new iWork (on a friend's new MacBook Pro) and feel very disappointed. I'm gonna stick with my old '09 version. It appears to have lost utility, and is now easily surpassed by Word 07. Dear Apple, from a veteran user: In your rush to market, you have dropped the basket on this one! Is a new version that's worth the money and hype coming?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    A lot of users have complained about the lack of features of the new iWork version. However, I'm sure Apple will add features with more updates in the future, like with Final Cut Pro X. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Until then, you can carry on using iWork '09, or try Microsoft Office 2011 or even LibreOffice, which is free and open-source
