why did you switch from the charge?

 

Hmm I haven't experienced any kind of headache with this phone yesterday and I used it for several hours straight. I don' know about you but headaches just come and go for me.

 

I love the screen and light weight of the charge. How does it compare to the bionic screen and weight wise?

 

No headaches here. I'd chalk it up to coincidence unless it persists reliably and predictably with phone use for several days.

 

Yeah Sean, why did you leave the Charge? I've messed with the Bionic in a Verizon store and I actually still like my Charge better. I know that sounds crazy, but it's true.

Granted, my Charge is rooted, but I like it better as I have it right now. I have it rooted, running GummyCharged 2.0, EP1Q modems, Voodoo Lagfix and V6 Supercharger. It's wicked fast and I couldn't tell any difference in performance when I was messing with the Bionic.

So for me, since performance was comparable, the screen of the Charge is the winner and why I am going to keep it. If the Prime looks like a huge step up, I will probably get that.

 

Nothing to worry about.....this is simply brain cancer from excessive cell phone usage. Good news is that its treatable. Radiation and chemo and you'll be good as new. If this was somehow being caused by the pentile screen then you'd really be screwed because there is no fix for that other than bionic removal.

 

No headaches at all.

 

My droid x2 gave me headaches. I would think since same screen the bionic would give me one as well. I don't think you are imagining it.

 

Not that it should take away from your case, but I am prone to headaches and migraines, and thus far nothing to report on that front.

 

Go back to the Charge. Regret is probably what's causing your headache.

It's still my humble opinion that people who already have a LTE device do not need the Bionic. I was a phone addict too but sometimes you gotta draw the line somewhere.

Hope your headaches go away.

 

I had the OG and wanted a new phone because my eyes hurt from looking at the screen and got a headache. So i got the bionic hoped it would not bother my eyes. So far so good I can look at the screen for hours with no problems.

 

All this Charge love is making me wanna go check the thing out,lol....I'm desperate. I want a good phone...my OG is putt-putting along still but it's like dragging Grandpa to a football game..he just wants to sit home and sleep! (Analogy...mine is actually long dead but I do like football....)

 

LOL, you're just like me. I ALWAYS have to have the latest hottest technology and sometimes end up regretting it. I waited for MONTHS for the Bionic to come out as I was very happy with my Liberty ROMed DroidX and thought the Bionic was what I wanted.

I finally got sick of waiting and every time I walked past a Verizon store or kiosk I would see that big gorgeous screen on the Charge staring at me and I finally broke down and bought one. On the very first boot (I got it from Amazon and I hadn't even activated it yet) I flashed it to gummy charge 1.9.1 and the EP1Q modem and I absolutely LOVE the thing.

Everything including GPS, HDMI etc etc works perfectly and the AMOLED screen is the best screen available on any phone.

Our corporate VZ rep brought a Bionic in to where I work yesterday and she let me use it for the day (I am actually typing this on it) and I have to say I made the right choice going with the Charge.

The Bionic has a nice processor to be sure, but there is not one other thing I like about the phone. The screen doesn't hold a candle to my Charge, the camera sucks by comparison, I believe it has a locked bootloader etc etc etc

I've never liked the way that Motorola screen are slightly taller and thinner than other brands. This always bugged me with my DroidX too, but back then there where no other options for a screen that big.

Although I would love dual processors of course (who wouldn't?), I haven't really noticed anything lagging that a faster processor would fix. Although i am not a huge gamer, I play Need For Speed Shift a lot and that plays absolutely perfect.

I'm looking to get a phone I can see well in sunlight.
Since you've a phone with the Super Amoled screen, as well as the Pentile screen, which one has better visibility in sunlight?

 

I had a headache from staring at my TV for a few hours waiting to the cleaning service to leave, does that count?

I've had minimal headache so far.

 

No phones compare to motorola in sunlight. Want the absolute best in sunlight get bionic. that is its only good quality in my opinion.

 

What Motorola phones are you talking about??

My Motorola DroidX was not very good at all in the sun......

Yes sorry. I meant the Pentile ones. X2, d3, bionic and whatever else that display was in.
