Everybody,
If this new FP1 update has destroyed your phone, BEFORE you do a factory reset, you might try to re-install GB 2.3.6.
I do not know if this will work but take a look here. Then go to page 3 of this thread and go down 8 posts to see the improved version on how to install GingerBread 2.3.6. The good news is that if it will not re-install GB 2.3.6 all that happens is that it will quit.

OTOH, the only damage will be that the battery will burn up, the chip will catch on fire, and your phone will explode...problem solved. JUST KIDDING!

I am surprised by the lack of comments in this thread. Hey folks, if you downloaded and installed the new Charge phone update FP1 please tell us your results.

thanks for the offer Jerry.
the video only makes that noise when playing back on my phone - it does not make that sound after posting to Youtube or anything like that.
so not a major deal for me. I'm okay where I am right now, but appreciate your willingness to help.

I just got a call about 10 minutes ago and still getting Static/popping. Makes this update seem useless to me.

KJ1060,
Check that it installed okay because maybe it didn't, you never know.
Touch Settings>About Phone and then go down the list of items to "Baseband version." If it installed properly you will see that the Baseband version ending (the extent) is .FP1 instead of .EP4 which it was before the update.
Also, reboot one more time just for Good Luck.
If none of the above helps you, you might consider what one person did with their BlackBerry. See attached photo.

Baseband version
i5 10.06 V.FP1
SCH-I510.FP1
Kernel version
2.6.35.7-FP1
Build number
SCH-I510.FP1
I doubt the reboot will help since this will be restart number two since updating. Do like the new lock screen though, so +1 for Verizon. However they are still about 10 points behind.

Jerry, did you ever install the update? I haven't received it on my phone yet.

I have not received the update yet either. Kind of odd that my son and I bought our Charges at the same time last May and when we got the Gingerbread update it came to us at about the same time. In this case my son got his last Friday night and nothing for me yet.

Just downloaded the update. As lobstr stated, Scrolling of background is gone. puzzle lock is no longer, the outline of the icons are different. Seems like we are going a step backwards here. If i notice something else, I will let you know.

I don't know, but I want the puzzle piece back too. Much more fun than what is there currently!
