I haven’t had that problem. In fact, the phone appears to run better. It now takes about ½ the time it used to to reboot when I swap a battery.

ever since i’ve installed the update over a week ago, my charge has been getting really hot randomly and i’ve had to battery pull more often (every day instead of once a week)

Any affect on tethering? Pdanet/Foxfi?

Don’t go Bionic. Bionic < Charge. You'll cry when you realize your Bionic screen is so hard to look at.

The phone really hasn’t been at all that bad since the Gingerbread update back in early December. Before that, a complete, total, and absolute joke.

Hilarious, somehow even a Samsung device is Sanjay Jha’s fault. I don’t know what’s wrong with your Bionic, maybe it ruined your credit score or maybe it killed your father and raped your mother, but I guess it had to do something in-friggen-credible to warrant this amount of complaining. And now you’re even blaming the very existence of a completely unrelated device on it? Wow.

Found the Anandtech article- one revision off on the LTE modem, same exact CDMA chip.

Amen to that. VZW had LOTS of bastard children in 2011 (Droid 3, X2, Charge, Bionic) It’s all Jha’s fault. Instead of wasting $ on RSD2-branded crap and overpriced Lapdocks no one wanted, they could have had the Droid X2 as an LTE device…or simply shipped the Bionic on time with a Tegra2. The Bionic remains underwhelming and buggy despite months of delays, being retooled around a TI OMAP and 3 major updates. They should have just released it the way it was at CES instead of the Charge. The Charge, Eris and Droid Pro are the most unworthy devices ever to carry the “Droid” flag.

Yeah, bing is forced on my Revolution’s stock browser too. To get around it, I use the Dolphin browsers. Still it makes the search soft key (when on the home screen), essentially useless.

Agree completely with your political comment….

Fine with the patches but why can’t they make the remote diagnostics an option?

Remember when they forced users into using BING on the Fascinate? Google was actively blocked. Not and option. People got pissed and they stopped. Same should happen here.

Verizon is a utility like electric and gas. Net neutrality, forced diagnostics, blocking companies… The FCC needs to get more active.

Not to get political, but I’m afraid that if Rick, Newt, or Mitt get elected, carriers will be free to do whatever they want including throttling or blocking content from companies that don’t have agreements with them.

Remember, they’re only leasing the govt. radio spectrum. There should be conditions to keep the airways free and open and that includes not having an imposed backdoor to my phone.
