I was just at the verizon store here, and was told that I could get a refurb of a droid x, incredible or a charge, since I have been having the missed calls issue. Just wanted some thoughts on what you think. I like the charge's screen, but am a little concerned with another sammy (no update, etc), and not a fan of the cosmetics. Just looking for some debate on what phone to change to, if any.
It's really all up to you but if you're looking for the best hardware specs charge wins. Screen size charge wins too.
It's not really all that though, but clearly superior to the other two.
Charge doesnt have CM7 available if you're a cm7 guy
I would be happy to exchange my Fascinate for a Charge. I love my Fascinate, but the missed call thing is really hard to deal with. I am on my 2nd replacement phone right now, and it "seems" like its a "little" better, but I might just be kidding myself. I still missed a call on Sunday night when I had the phone right next to me on the table.

Take it into a verizon store, and tell them you want a new phone. They didn't even blink. You get those three phone options, Charge, Incredible2 or Droid x. Tell them you can't be missing calls because of work. They have a bulletin telling them to exchange.

So is it the incredible and droid x or the incredible 2 and droid x 2? Also do we have to go into a store our can we just call?

different people say they get offered different phones... some get a choice for new ones, some old and it is also a mixed bag as to whether its over the phone or in person... I personally won't give up my fascinate for any current phone, I could care less about how many processors it has or if its 3G or 4G. the things that matter to me are the beautiful SAMOLED screen and how easy it is to modify
edit: the only other phone right now I may consider would be the Charge

Stop calling the store... Call 611 and hit zero. Just bs with them so you go to tier 2 tech support. Tier 2 will check for known issues and find that missed calls are a known software issue. They will then give you a choice to wait for the software patch later this month that will fix the issue or exchange for a different device. You will have a choice between the charge, incredible 2, or droid x 2.

I am updating as many forums I can with the following information:
We have updated our policy on handling missed calls very recently for the Fascinate.
We normally don't request people to call in,but if you are reading this, that may be your best option. Call 800-922-0204 option 3 for tech support. Choose the option foradvanced devices and PDAs. This will get you to tech support.
We do have different options available for customers experiencing this issue while we work on the permanent fix to this problem.
You also have the option to PM me with your cell number, and I'd be happy to review this in detail via phone call or PM.
Thanks for you patience. I know this has been a rocky road for some of you.

I bought my phone off craigslist and I'm experiencing the missed calls issue. Will they help me out as well or is this only for people who bought the phone directly from Verizon?

yes it will i bought both my fascinate and my girlfriend's fascinate off Craigslist
What I did after about three attempts at getting a different phone other than the fascinate was call Customer Service and went straight to retention to say I wanted to cancel my service. I was asked why and I explained all the problems with my phone (missed calls, phone freezing, etc). The rep asked what she could do to keep me with them and I told her that I needed to be able to actually receive the service I pay for each month. She was gonna try to factory reset and I told her not to waste her time because I've already tried that. Tell them you've basically tried any kind of troubleshooting with the phone and that it didn't work. Then tell them you're not interested in another fascinate to replace the one you currently have because it's the phone that is the problem. They should then offer you the choice of a charge, droid x2, or droid incredible 2.
I wonder if its possible to do this at best buy since thats where I bought my fascinate.
yeah same here i bought mine on black friday at BB
If you get a charge they will remove your data plan and put it back on for 4G. Meaning you will lose unlimited data.

From my understanding on verizon twitter some time ago, people who has unlimited plan from before the price change can still use it for 4g.

Still no release date announced for Galaxy S on Verizon. (VZ name: Fascinate)
I was anxious to get a new phone. If the Fascinate comes out before it has been 30 days on my Droid X, I might very well return it and get the Galaxy S. I kind of want the Galaxy S more than the Droid X, but there are a couple of things I'm a bit OCD about. One is the hardware buttons; I REALLY dislike soft touch buttons, which is what the Galaxy S has, whereas the Droid X has hardware buttons. I discovered one other thing I like a lot about the Droid X after I bought it, too; the GPS chip in it is insanely powerful for a cell phone. It triangulates like instantly and is very fast and up-to-date. I was quite surprised when I tested it earlier today, it worked amazingly well. I'm still mad at Motorola about the whole root/bootloader thing, but if you take that out of the equation, it's a hell of a phone.

I'm having none of those problems...have you tried checking for updates + restarting the phone? The GPS in particular worked spectacularly for me with the car dock app. It was amazingly accurate and quick.
Whats the number to call for Verizon?
Well, the other poster was right. For some reason Best Buy had my account blocked for text messages. Works now! Thanks for the heads up!
So last wednesday I decided to make my voice heard and I wrote VZW an angry email. I am not going to type out the whole thing but basically it said that i am tired of their horrible customer service and horrible customer support. I also went on to state that everytimeI ask a rep either on the phone or in the store as to when we are going to get Froyo the answer with out fail is always very soon or in a couple of weeks.
I recieved a call on Friday afternoon. I missed the call but the rep left a Voice mail. It states and I quote " Hey Joshua, My name is Tammy and I am with Verizon Wireless's internet response team. I recieved your email about your concern for the Samsung Fascinate. So some good news is that we did get approval for the 2.2 froyo to be updated. So it is going to be updated very soon, escentially probably within the next 2 weeks, but I mean it is just waiting for google to push it through. So whenever google is ready to send it over we will be sending it out to our customers. So if you have any questions feel free to contact us at 1-800-922-0204. Have a good Day Bye"
I did call back immediately and spoke to a normal customer service Rep who had no idea what was going on with the update. He kept basically putting the blame on Google and Samsung. He asked me if I had called them to see why we have not got the update yet. I told him know it is Verizon's responsibilty, as that is who I pay my money to every month. By the end of the call there was nothing really resolved with that rep, with the exception of him asking if I would consider a replcaememnt to a different phone that has Froyo and he suggested the Droid X ( which he said was a step down ) or the Thunderbolt . Which i of course said i would be interested in the thunderbolt. I am also supposed to get a call back today from the Rep who answered my email.
So I guess as usual take it with a grain of salt. I will keep you guys updated with what happens with this.
I would have asked how it's Google's fault when they didn't manufacture the phone, or send it out for a manufacturing contract to be made for them (ie Nexus device). After that, I would ask how it is Samsung's fault when they just released the source code for the Froyo update last week, showing that Samsung has finished their part of the upgrade.
It's funny because I called last week following up on an email I sent 2 weeks ago and I'm still getting the run around. They offerred me a droid x or droid 2 but i don't want to settle at this point if there are new phones available. I'm now waiting for a supervisor to call me back.

I did ask why it is Google and Samsung's Fault. The rep responded with the make the os and build the harware we just sell the phone. I said it is Verizons responsibility to make sure all of their phones are up to date as possible. I also said that if it is Google or Sammy's fault, then why is it that almost every other galaxy released has got the update? The rep replied with saying that I was wrong and that only a few galaxys have gotten the update.

To be honest, asthetically I like the fascinate but not having froyo after waiting all this time has turned me off. I've used some rom's available on the forums but I feel like I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to get an update that should have been out months ago.
thats how i ended up with my fascinate. my dad got tired of not having froyo, so he gave the option for me to inherit his fascinate or keep my OG droid.
As a VZW Tech rep. The care reps know less than me and we have absolutely no resources/explanation on why some devices get updates and some don't.
The problem is when you have 3 huge companies and their crack legal departments putting conditions on everything. Companies can't agree to play golf together without a 300 page legal agreement.

It's hard to get away from a damn good looking slim phone that has an amazing screen isn't it?
Alright so Update
I Spoke to VZW last night, and after alot of "venting" on my end they were willing to get me a new phone......... The Thunderbolt!
The only catch is that I had to renew my contract for 2 years, which is okay because I was 4 months into this one. Once I get I will either give the phone to a family member for super cheap or just sell it and recoop the cost.
The rep who I spoke with was not willing/able to do anything for me. I just asked for a supervisor, and miraculously the rep came back after a short hold time and said the supervisor is in a good mood so they will let you upgrade as long as you reup your 2 year. So i guess long story short just start escalating the call if you get any push back
I just don't understand giving up on such a great device because of a lack of an update. I understand the principle of a company supporting it's hardware, be it Samsung or Verizon, but I still think it is silly to go to all this trouble just on principle. What does the Thunderbolt have that the Fascinate doesn't (besides the obvious, 2.2 and 4G)? To each his own, I guess.

Well look at it this way I got a new phone for a great price as well as I am still able to keep my Fascinate or sell it. When/if Froyo ever comes out and I still have the Phone I can always switch back to it.
I want to make it clear I love my Fascinate, if for nothing else the screen is amazing. I have never really had any issues with it, except for the usual gps taking a while to connect, and it freezing which attribute to sftware not hardware.
After posting on the Moto support forum over a month ago about how I'd been through 5 Atrix and all of them suffered from terrible voice call quality, I received a PM from the forum manager. That was a couple weeks ago. Moto actually arranged to give me a "tested unit" that was supposedly inspected by an audio engineer. It was without a box, battery, or cover. To me, this could just mean a refurb'd Atrix.
The weird thing, however, was that they requested my location and phone #, and after about a week I got a call from Moto guy who wanted to meet up to swap units. I met this dude in a ****ing shopping mall Starbucks, and we chatted for a few. His business card says something like "Motorola Service Trainer" or something along those lines. Wouldn't you figure they'd just mail me the new one rather than waste their employees' time? Bizarre.
TO THE POINT, the new unit is free of the muffled/garbled/****-ass voice call quality. My voice to other callers sounds 100 times more crisp and clear.
I wonder how many others got this same treatment from Moto? I know there are quite a few pissed off people out there with crappy voice quality.
I would walk with caution. Probably for no reason. However at my line of work we would ship you a tested unit and have you call us with a support ticket number. Maybe on a direct line with original tech who processed your original claim if the complaint was" sizable"

I literally had 5 different handsets plagued by crappy voice quality. I was constantly asked to repeat myself because the other party could not understand me. This new handset sounds much, much better, and it's no placebo effect.
I'm happy to see Moto take a hands-on approach and fix this for me.. As for the other hundred people or so who complained on the forumm... like the kitty guy from Portugal (by the way, that **** cracked me up hard).. I don't blame him, though. Voice quality on my old sets were ****.
Their service center was crazy fast. 2 days and they sent it back via purolator.
That sounds like they went above and beyond for you. That is definitely good news!

OP, I am glad you got your voice quality issues corrected. I had voice quality issues on my previous to Atrix. Finally, after getting the third Atrix from a different Costco, the problem was gone. I made some recordings of the voice proble. I might post them later so everyone can know what we're talking about. Also, I had a bad led flash problem, where the LED (left one) would not stay on for longer than 20 secs. That's gone as well on this third unit. Now, if only all this other crap was gone as well.... lol
I bought mine from ATT less than one month ago and I am also having call quality issues and also one of the LEDs flicker or don't come on, do I just take it back to ATT and they will replace it or what do I have to do

Yes, take it back to ATT. I believe its still within your return period to just exchange for a new one. If not, I think they may send it to Moto for repair. Tell them the voice call issue and the LED problem are well documented problems by Motorola and that you want a brand new device.
For the LED flashing problem, don't mention any flashlight apps. That's how I discovered my flashing problem, but once I mentioned that I was having problems with a flashlight app, the CS rep at the ATT store immediately said" OH. Sorry. We can't give support to third party apps." So instead of the flashlight app, pull up your camcorder app and turn the light on.
Hope you get your phone issues resolved!
I got my 3rd exchange yesterday. And I still have the garbled voice problem. Im definitely contacting moto. Thanks for the heads up.

I kept complaining about my fascinate and how many problems I've been having. I was trying to get them to give me a free upgrade without signing a contract...just changing the phone. Unfortunately, I ran out of warranty (which I completely forgot to think about). Verizon finally decided to give me a manager's upgrade on all 4 of my lines. I think they called it an M2 upgrade.
This means that I can upgrade a year and a half early (but i'd need to sign a new 2 year contract).
They won't let me upgrade to any apple phone, but I can upgrade to a 3g or a 4g phone of my choice. They said something about "Iconic" phones, and how it takes a while longer before they can let me upgrade to an iconic phone.
Does anyone have experience with these sort of upgrades? Was what was offered to me worth all of the complaining I did? Would you guys recommend waiting until the Nexus Prime, upgrading my lines to that, and the selling it on ebay to get any other phone I want..(2 lines will have the iphone 4s, two will stay with either the fascinate or the prime). And also. Does anyone know what the deal on the Iconic phone upgrade is? How long does the phone need to be out for?
Let me know if you guys have any questions about how I got the upgrades as well.

Lots of problems with GPS lock. I'm the only one who roots / flashes new roms / kernels. Out of the 4 fascinates we have, 3 of them would not lock.
We also had problems with voicemails showing up but no missed calls. Pretty irksome to be expecting a call and then notice you had a voicemail from the person you were waiting on an hour later.
And I kinda just wanted to upgrade
i got a free Droid Charge without having to renew my account. working on the same for the wifes phone. my Charge will be here tuesday. no problems with the GPS on either of our fascinates but plenty of missed calls and text.

Hi guys!
Well just as the title says, im going ot be switching from T-mobile to Verizon, but i am torn between two phones. Either the Rezound or the Galaxy Nexus. I know there has been other threads on this im sure, but i had to post and ask just to get other feedback. All the other threads i have seen just go back and forth "get the rezound because of XYZ, get the GNex because of XYZ" So im a bit torn lol
Any feedback is much appreciated!
Merry Christmas!!
The nexus will come out on friday. (I know a guy who got the mgs from the big red)

thanks for the reply.....i'm actually getting the phone through work with unlimited minutes, data and texting. Great thing is i get to choose my phone
Anyone else have any feed back or suggestions as to which phone to go with and why?
Buy a used phone on Amazon
Even though the new smartphones phones are cool, most have limited memory and poor audio quality. Another option is to just buy a Samsung Vibrant on Amazon. You can get one used for about $150 and you won't have any contract committments. Its a great phone and you can upgrade the ROM to ICS on the Vibrant forum.

i had a Vibrant, i liked it, but i would rather put the $150 to a newer faster phone. The samsung is for T-mobile, i am moving to Verizon through work and they are paying for the phone so no point in me dishing out money. Besides, t-mobile has been terrible the last 4 months. tons of dropped calls, phone wont ring when its right next to me....my current phone is a mytouch 4G, and its been replaced 4 times......then they offered me a crap Sidekick which even gets terrible reviews on their website. Then to top it off, I have overages because i used so many darn minutes to call people back everytime my call dropped, they wont even credit me for that. So basically they are giving me the FU, so im going to do the same Any who, i hope the GNex is a great phone, if not i may go with the rezound....i was hoping to wait till the Quad-core phones came out but unfortunately work needs me to get a phone so i need to settle with a dual core

I believe we get 25% off phone accessories and the rate plan.....i know it was a number in the 20's just cant remember 100%
Any other thoughts from people?
If your work is footing the bill, get the hottest, newest, most advanced phone Verizon has.
Galaxy nexus hands down.
i know people like HTC but beats audio is just a gimmick.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
The Galaxy nexus for the big red form the guy I know says they are having alot of hardware and software bugs. I don't know if I can say it's better than the razr I got to day, but try before you buy if you can.
ya i am hoping to try it out first but i have yet to get my hands on one. We shall see. I heard it was delayed again?
My friend says that all the over heating and software bugs is delaying it.
