Texting issues with Droid charge

I am having issues with texting also with my Charge among other things. I just got a replacement phone and have already lost multiple messages, or have not had messages go through. The texting function is a major part of my business and this phone is not at all reliable for texting. I even left my replacement phone with no apps loaded, so the problem could not be blamed on anything but the phone.
I have also had the first phone reboot for no reason, and it would change the screen brightness to lowest for no reason. I am very unhappy with this phone.

I have just discovered why some text msgs do NOT go through. If you have caller ID blocking turned ON and subsequently you have added *82 in front of those phone numbers that you want the person to see who you are, the *82 blocks the text msg to those phone numbers because text messaging can only handle 10 digit numbers.
OTOH, for what it's worth, if you want to block your caller ID to a single voice-call phone number just put *67 in front of that phone number.

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?

Frustrated with Droid Charge

I have the 4G Samsung Droid Charge and I have horrible coverage! It is so frustrating. Even with WiFi, the apps stop constantly because of the poor coverage. We even have that $200 antenna that is supposed to extend our coverage. My husband has the GZone Commando and his phone has excellent coverage sitting right next to mine. There has to be something I can do. Anytime I try to play a game or do anything, the apps close. Is anyone else having issues with the Charge? I would love to get some suggestions for fixing this.

When I stream movies or play games at work, it is on the charger the whole time. I ran that speed test this morning and this is what I got – I think this is the problem –
                WiFi (at home) – Download: 4919 kbps, Upload: 4193 kbps and Ping: 46 ms
                Verizon Network (at work) – Download: 1181 kbps, Upload: 122 kbps and Ping: 164 ms
Wow - I just ran it again at work so it's the Verizon Network and this is what I got:
     "Network communication issues"
and again:
     download: 4 kbps, Upload: 34 kbps and Ping: 207 ms
I'm using speedtest.net
What should it be if I want to play games and stream movies?
Last night the game I was playing stopped and had to be restarted 8 times in 15 minutes.
Thanks for your help.

So frustrated with Droid Charge and the Customer Service

Going to receive my 5th Droid Charge tomorrow! Phone drops calls, phone shuts down when taking pictures, battery last for 2 hrs and there are no batteries in stock. The CSR told me to go to Amazon and order on and then Verizon will reimburse me...yeah, right! Or they will give me a Thunderbolt which I checked out after I got off of the phone and it doesn't sound any better. Can't understand why I have to settle for a phone that doesn't work most of the time. I have never been late on paying my bill and expect better quality and service than I am receiving.
No real recourse...take it or leave it attitude when speaking to ALL Verizon employees! They say they care but the service doesn't reflect their words. Been a customer for over 17 years and hate to move to another company and sure don't feel I should have to pay to get out of a contract on a phone that I have to shut down and bring up again when I need to make a call or send a text. SO FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!

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 likes the phones and at times we have fooled into thinking they are working fine... because at times the camera works fine. We haven't had any replacement phones because it seems that so many have this issue and therefore, 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.

Earpieace / Sound Issues with Droid Razr M

Having issues with my phone, bought new in September 2012, since yesterday morning.
When I make a call using the earpiece, I cannot hear it ringing (like dialing out to them) and after they answer, I cannot hear the person on the other end when they speak. If I put it on speakerphone, they can hear me just fine and I can hear them. Also on speakerphone, I can hear it ringing (dialing out). When receiving a call, my ringtone audibly works, but then the same situation applies once I answer it - I cannot hear they, but they can hear me. Again, if I put it on speakerphone, both parties can hear each other. My alarm / ringtone works just fine, as well as all my other ringtone / notifications - such as text, etc. But, if I try to play a YouTube video, play music through Pandora, or play another audio / video file with sound, it does not produce any sound, even through headphones attached to the jack. It also plays sound when starting up - the "Droid".
Seems like a phone issue considering it is working for some things, but not for others. I have gone through and checked all settings, tried it in safe mode, did reboots, etc, but all to no avail. Anyone have any other troubleshooting suggestions, or are having the same problem? It seems I have going to have to have it replaced - hoping this would be a manufacturers defect replacement though and not something that I should have to use my insurance on!
Thanks!

Need help with Droid Charge camera shuting off 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.

Battery Issues with Droid Pro by Motorola

My wife and I recently got smartphones. I got the Casio Commando, and she got the Droid Pro.
I've been very happy with the Commando, but she's had nothing but issues with the battery on her Droid Pro. She has to constantly charge the thing, even when she has all the background data, GPS, everything turned off on her phone. It just seems to drain like nobody's business. She tried an app killer program, and that didn't work.
Anyone got any suggestions for a couple of smartphone rookies having battery issues?
Aside from the battery problem, the phones have both been fantastic.

I had similar problems with my origianl Droid and battery.
Verizon replaced my battery and it was very much improved. I normally have no problem getting a full day with normal use.
Make sure WIFI is turned off as well and that e-mail is NOT set to "Push" mode (constantly checking for e-mail). I have mine set to check for e-mail every 30 mintues.
Also, be sure to check "settings/application/running Services to see what is using up resources.

Issues with Droid Turbo

I recently purchased a Droid Turbo from Best Buy. After a few days the phone stopped working. I took it back and got a new one, however now I am having issues with the sound notifications. Sometimes the phone doesn't make a notification sound when I receive a text or email. Also the phone lock sound doesn't work either. I have checked the sound settings and everything is on. What should I do or try?

I'd Return it for another new one hopefully 3rd one's the charm and it has no issues. If ya return this one and the one you get does the same I'd look at getting your money back and Try another source Like going to a Local Verizon Corporate store to buy it) But as I mention hopefully 3rd time is the charm and you see no issues..
Good Luck.! b33

Issue with magsafe/charging (blinks green, amber, off)

Having a quirky issue with my mid-2009 Macbook Pro.
A month or so ago, I began having an issue with my macbook charging. When the computer is up and running and I plug in the magsafe it will say "Calculating..." and then say "Not Charging" and then switch to battery use. It constantly does this as long as the magsafe is connected. The lights on the magsafe will constantly cycle from green to amber to no light.
At first, it would do it a few times then it would start charging. Now it constantly does this without ever stopping. I was editing video the other day for a while and it never stopped the cycle.
Thinking it was the battery, I took it into the Apple Store last week and got a new battery because it had been saying "Service battery" for a while and the battery would only last about 20 minutes on a charge. So I just thought the battery finally refused to charge.
But the problem still exists.
The magsafe is new (only 3 months old) and here's the quirky thing: the computer will charge if it's asleep (lid closed) or shut down completely. No blinking lights at all. It will charge as long as it's asleep or shut down. So I don't think it's the charger. But as soon as you hit the power button to starting booting up, it will blink.
I have reset the SMC a couple times actually, but no change.
Is there something software/firmware related that I haven't tried? Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated before I take it back to the Apple Store (which is about an hour away).
Thanks!

Issues with Droid MAXX

I am having some issues with my new Droid MAXX. At first, I would hear some distortion coming out of the main speaker, but it would go away after a few clicks or noises. Then, it got extremely worse and is now completely distorted! I don't normally use the phone speaker except for notifications and my phone ringer. I usually connect via a 3.5mm jack to my truck, so I know I haven't "blown out" the speaker.
The second issue: I pair the phone with a Bluetooth headset. I can receive calls, but cannot make any through my Bluetooth headset. I also cannot hear any sounds through the headset except for what comes in via phone call. I checked the Bluetooth settings to make sure that everything was set up right, and have confirmed that both Phone and Media audio icons are checked. I have also tried pairing and unpairing the phone and the headset multiple times, but it does not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here's the photo I was referring too I'll do some more digging for a Photo on the Droid Maxx! Update: As of now there is none that I have found but as I find something I'll post back what i got .. b33

Looking for earphones/mic that actually work with Droid Charge?

New to Droid Charge and am finding out that finding a set of earphones with a microphone for answering calls is pretty difficult. Found quite a few that are supposed to work with the Charge, but after reading the reviews find that they don't in some way or another. Help!!!

I have the V-Moda Remix 4S. They list for $80, but got them at Costco for $50 - then they had them on sale for $30 last month- D'oh. They're very solid; the earbuds are metal instead of plastic, the cord is made out of nylon (I think) and has a Kevlar center - these are the toughest earbuds I've seen. The best/worst thing about it is the play button. On my Charge (like it does on an iPod/iPhone), it starts and stops calls, starts and stops music, skips to the next/previous song and enables shuffle - which I found surprising (I use Doubletwist as my music player). The down-side is that it's a little awkward to press - it's convex instead of concave. The microphone works as it should. They're probably worth the $80, but they're a steal at $30 if you can get them.
