[LG Revolution] slow162:
The Revo is my first smart phone. I keep up with current tech but in phones I really just wanted a phone that was a good phone. I was a loyal Cingular customer and then att bought it out and my service just went downhill. Then when I wanted a smart phone the data caps killed me staying with att, plus service at work is much better with Verizon. I looked at all three 4G phones and decided on the Revo over the other two 4G options. So far I am extremely happy with my phone. I’m looking to root to remove some of the pre installed crap that I won’t (or just don’t) use. I know that I’ve got nothing to compare it to as for personal experience with older generation android phones, but I have not experienced many glitches or reboots. The screen is clear and bright. The phone reception and call quality is good and I am able to surf the net at my whim (though only on 3G in my area). I have used the 4G on a trip to Columbus and it was blazing fast. The Netflix app is cool. All in all I would buy it again. I am happy with the phone.

Glad I'm not the only one too! I was hesitant to complain about pinky pains on a public forum but hey: its a 2 year commitment
[LG Revolution] vladtehimpaler:
I do like mine, granted it's only been a week or so, but it seems like a pretty good phone. I had my choice of verizon phones for work, so after looking at the specs and going into the local verizon store, I thought the Revolution looked solid - so far, I have not been disappointed... just keep this in mind - my personal cell phone is a LG Optimus T, which isn't exactly "state-of-the-art" :rolleyes: so there are a lot of phones out there that would probably seem impressive LOL
[LG Revolution] ALTANertive:
At the time I wanted to lock in the unlimited data and I thought this was the best phone out there. If the situation was the same I would definitely get this phone again. However if unlimited data were still around I would have waited for the Bionic or until the Nexus Prime came out just to have some more options.
[LG Revolution] speedtrap63:
Same here, at the time the Tbolt was having serious battery issues so I went with the next best choice, Revo. That being said, if unlimited data were not about to be extinct, then I would have waited for the Prime. Been waiting for a Nexus on Verizon ever since the Nexus 1. Now I'm stuck for 2 yrs since along with the unlimited data, they stopped annual upgrades at my service level!:(
[LG Revolution] jackpot08:
The reason I got this phone was to snag the unlimited data. I would choose this over the charge and the tbolt again though
[LG Revolution] drutman:
Yes I would get the Revo again

I find the phone to do everything I want, it is easy to root, ergonomics are okay, screen clear and not over saturated. It does reboot sometimes but this is expected from open source software. Phone/radio is excellent no 4G issues except for a few data disconnects( BTW, the Bionic forums have the same issues as the revo on data drops etc). Many posters here were praising the Bionic as a miracle device but if you visit the forums you will find the same issues we have with the Revo they have. I have a coworker with a Bionic and I am not overly impressed, it is not a Revo decision changer/contract breaker.
[LG Revolution] trampledbyturtles:
I tried the Charge when it came out and personally i think it's garbage... the Revo was my third choice (Thunderbolt being my #1) but i'm pretty happy with it. The Revo has better battery life than both but is also slower to get Dev updates only because of limited updates from LG/Verizon. Our devs have definitely made the Revolution a phone worth buying but i recommend trying a few out before making a decision that'll tie you down for two years.

i like my dad's bionic a lot, if i was given the choice now i'd get that instead. but the revo was my first choice in july when i bought it.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
Is having a phone for two years possible? This is my fourth in the past twelve months...

until the next gen of LTE phones comes out, this is the best one there is, which I guess is very soon...

[LG Revolution] trampledbyturtles:
That seems a bit excessive but i see your point. This is my fourth since around July but that's including warranty replacements. I normally only upgrade once a year when the price is right.

[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Since my original post... Nope. Not a revo again. I might go with a Vigor. I would now consider only phones that come with 2.3 which turns out I need for work. I would also like to see a phone with similar specs running WP7.5. WP7.5 runs smooth on phones with even the crappiest of specs.
[LG Revolution] middlehead:
If I were going back to change my original purchase, I'd make the same decision and stick with the Revolution.

If my contract were coming up today, I'd wait for something else.
[LG Revolution] ThePheonixChameleon:
If I were to go back, I would probably choose the Thunderbolt. I didn't get it primarily cause my girlfriend had it and I didn't wanna have the same phone as her. But it's not that bad really.. just not amazing either.

Tell you this though, I would pick it over the Nexus Prime we got a teaser pic of.. can't stand the idea of no physical buttons, and the thing is gonna be massive; Sure the 4.65 inch screen includes the buttons.. but the bezel is big enough to fit two rows of buttons. It's going to be a tablet more than a phone, and I am not in favor of a tablet that can make calls.
[LG Revolution] Android Power:
The charge i would go with most definatly...Revolution has a series of problems, to many to list and the charge has the amazing galaxy s screen :)
[LG Revolution] drt054:
I am enjoying working on this phone and can't wait for development to continue (GB and cm7) but if I could exchange this phone right now I would probably go Droid Bionic just cuz I had a Motorola Droid 1 and it was awesome.. I almost bought Droid3 but wanted LTE.

[LG Revolution] hadookee:
If I could go back to beginning to end of June/beginning of July I think I would have gone with the Incredible 2 or exchanged it for the droid 3. Not having Gingerbread is a bummer, plus I personally don't find 4G that much more useful than 3G. Sure 4G is faster but 3G battery life is 50% to 75% better. A charged 1.5mbs phone sure beats a drained 15mbs phone.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
I know I can't be the only one to have an absolutely flawless running Revo? Honestly I'm not trying to brag at all but I haven't had one issue with this phone since I got it. It still continues to impress me to this day. I came from a D1 which was an awesome phone but obviously that D1 does not compare at all to this phone. I get excellent battery life for a 4G phone, 10-12 hours. (I can upload a screenshot for proof when it's about to die).

For me this phone has been phenominal. I have seen tons of storys on DroidForums.net and on Google+ of people returning their Bionics to get this phone and being completely in love with it. Same with the Charge and same with the Thunderbolt. Would I buy this phone again? Definitely. Would I buy it right now, against the Prime? Definitely not. But nonetheless I am completely happy with my purchase. Sorry for those that aren't.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
But you have been the Verizon support forums... there is with out a doubt issues with this phone, some that even Verizon is now acknowledging as a problem and has passed on to their development department for further investigation. It is great you have the phone and are not having any issues at all. I came from a Droid Eris and I was the same way. Never had an issue with that phone ever. People had huge issues with the track ball but mine worked flawlessly till the day I sold it, and the dude I sold it to raves about it.

Those of us having issues are frustrated and really would like something else. Verizon themselves suggested I use one of my 2 other lines and change out phones. That is pretty sad. The one thing I have learned from this is to wait. Wait for the phone to be out for a while before buying it. Troll the support and development forums, find out how much support it is getting by the community and look for trends with support issues.
[LG Revolution] :
While I enjoy this device very much, and look to improve it anyway I can. I would not get this phone again. I got this phone to replace my lost Droid Charge initially. I'm happy with it but certain bugs bother me, and the battery life isn't that great. 10-12 hours MAX for me
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Did you even read my post on the Verizon Support Forum? I was asking about Gingerbread. Not stating an issue. So please, know what you're saying before you try to call someone out in public.
[LG Revolution] ufkal:
I for one would stay with the Revolution. Mine has been mostly perfect, just a couple of battery issues that are almost certainly ID10T errors. My wife has the charge, and while its pretty, she just received her 4th replacement since getting it in June.

I have two upgrades on my account, but I'm not using them for anything else out there because this phone is it!!!

just my $.02.
[LG Revolution] awdmonster:
If I was in the same situation as I was when I got it (tiered data plans coming), I would get it again in a heart beat. If the Bionic was out at the time, I would probably would have gone with that. My gf already had the T-Bolt, and I came from a D-Inc, so I wanted something different than HTC/Sense. Droid Charge was just not a device that grabbed my attention.

Stock however, it was a bit laggy for me. When the update came out, it was a bit better. Now that I am rooted (have used De-Crap and now on Revolt 1.5) this thing runs pretty slick.
[LG Revolution] drt054:
Not after seeing the new Motorola Droid Razr.. I think I'm in love.. lol the accessories alone I wish I could get it now!!

[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Having not previously "called you out", please allow me put my point a way you may understand better.

You were at the Verizon forums, You had to have seen all the people having issues? REGARDLESS AS TO WHY YOU WERE AT THEIR SUPPORT FORUM, this phone is far from perfect and because yours is fine does not mean that there is no an issue with this phone.

But of course we are all wrong because your phone is perfect.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
I never said that ANYONE was wrong just because my phone is perfect. If you hate your phone sooooooo much and have soooooo many issues with it. Then by all means, sell it or throw it in the trash, buy another phone, then move over to their forums. You will not be missed.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Ok everyone. Calm the **** down. :) K Thanks. We all have this phone and we all know it does have it's issues. There is no such thing as the perfect phone for the perfect phone would have to be perfect for everyone and since everyone is different and has different tastes this is not possible. This is why there all a bunch of different phones and even different ROMs for just this one phone. Plus the different themes. Everyone likes something different. While many people may LOVE this phone the same amount if not more HATE or DISLIKE this phone. Saying a phone is perfect is like saying your perfect which everyone knows is impossible. Everyone has some sort of flaw in one way or another. Also, I just got back to school and have my desktop back. :) I missed it so much. It's so nice to have a full sized keyboard again. :)
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
The 4g is faster on the TBolt?

Hmmm, I'm getting (with USB Tether), 41.5 Mbps Down and 32 Mbps Up when testing with my computer hooked up using Speedtest.net and Speakeasy/speedtest. I get about 70% of that with the WIFI tethering/4g HotSpot.

What's the TBolt getting? I'm curious.

-Cybie

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

I had issues with the HotSpot until I set the MTU to 1300 on my computer. Blazing speeds without the lag or no webpage issue from certain sites. Once changed to 1300, I have zero issues other than the HotSpot seems to use a lot of juice and doesn't allow the battery to charge and causes my phone to get quite warm. Therefore, I rooted and use the Tether App. Not as fast, but fast enough. When I want the fasted possible speed (41.5 Mbps), I just use the USB Tether option connected to my computer. I do pay for the HotSpot feature since I qualified for the Unlimited HotSpot for $30 extra and my phone IS my Internet. No other service provider can produce the mobility and speeds that my 4g Revo do. :)

The Headphone jack? Did you try to Exchange it? maybe it was faulty. My Droid 2 Global head phone jack started falling out after connected to my car a few times. The Revo jack has been solid and problem free and I connect it daily in my car. I use it so much with streaming music, mp3's, NetFlix (keeps kids happy on drives, lol), and hands free.

What exact problems did you have?

[LG Revolution] majorpay:
This is a loaded question. Would I get the same phone with all the new releases they have today? Maybe, maybe not. With all the dual core action going on, and NVidia ramping up the gaming industry, I don't know. I guess if this was significantly less money than those phones, then probably?

Would I get the same phone if I went back in time? Duh. It's the phone I still own, right?

I should add that more devs doesn't necessarily make a better phone. Just more options and more beta testing for you. We have a pretty solid device on our hands at the moment without all the beta-tester issues that usually come with a dev process.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
It would not go as you expect it would. :D

This is my last verizon phone. Its awful that its still running Froyo.

Blue Tooth is horrible, even with revolt ROM. If podcasts videos didnt look great, and I still had my OG droid I would be using that.

This is just as bad as samsung phones not getting their updates. ICS is released and no GB. Evenwith all of VZW bloat garbage.

I would by this phone again. But not from a national carrier.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
No source for ICS has been released. Just the SDK for the emulator.
[G2 and Desire Z General] endlesstrail:
Hi all,

As in the title, I've installed Unity 1.25 and I do not have the option to choose GSM only.

I only get WCDMA or GSM/WCDMA auto.

I get the option in stock ROM.

When I rooted and flashed Unity 1.0, I did not get the GSM only option.

When I flashed to Unity 1.24, I did not get it as well.

Now in 1.25, I still don't get that option. I wiped all data and including the dalvic cache when I flashed the new 1.25 ROM.

Am I the only one seeing this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] monomer888:
I get the GSM only option on my Desire Z on both the Settings and the *#*#4636#*#* menus on all the Unity versions so far. Not sure why it's missing on yours.
[G2 and Desire Z General] endlesstrail:
Hi monomer888,

Interesting. I've just upgraded to 1.26 and I still do not see the GSM only option.

What's this "*#*#4636#*#*" that you're talking about?

It seems like one of the special codes to enter via the "dial pad" of the phone? Google doesn't seem to want to cooperate with me today. :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] endlesstrail:
Eventually found out that the code is actually to activate the android test mode.

In the phone section and network mode, I apparently have all the options available, and when I select GSM only, it switches to GSM only mode.

When I exit out and head to settings -> Network preferences, I still only see WCDMA only and GSM/WCDMA only. However, none of the radio buttons were selected since I've set the phone to GSM only via the test mode.

When I select the GSM/WCDMA only it does switch, which seems to me that everything is working fine; I only do not see that option in the settings menu which is quite strange.

I did a wipe of the data and dalvic cache when I upgraded to 1.26 via ROM Manager. Any ideas how how to get the GSM only option back?
[G2 and Desire Z General] monomer888:
What radio version are you using? Have you tried flashing another radio version? Unity apparently works best with the Gingerbread radios (26.08.04.30 or 26.08.04.16).

Personally I changed my radio firmware using the information on this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970809

Do note the warning though. Flashing radios incorrectly can 'brick' the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] endlesstrail:
I'm using 12.28b.60.140eP_26.03.02.26_M

I think this should be the radio which comes with the desire Z firmware 1.34? I followed the rooting wiki on Cyanogenmod's page; downgraded to 1.34 and then flashed the unity ROM. I've not touched the radio so far.
[G2 and Desire Z General] monomer888:
The radio you're using isn't one I've tried personally but I think that's a radio from a Froyo-based ROM. Others in the Unity thread have reported no problems with the 26.04.02.17 radio (which is also from Froyo).

If you've done a complete wipe before flashing your ROM, and the option in Settings isn't there on a fresh install (before anything else is installed), then I can't see much else that's different. It's up to you whether you want to experiment with the radio firmware. The RILs (radio library files) that are in Virtuous Unity are the ones from a Gingerbread base, so they should theoretically work best with the radio firmware from those versions.

Bear in mind that if the option exists in the Testing menu, and it works properly via that menu then it's probably not a problem with the radio firmware itself. I can only guess that it's an issue of Android not picking up that it should be an option available to the average user through the Settings menu.
[G2 and Desire Z General] endlesstrail:
I had to do a downgrade from 1.74 of the official HTC ROM before rooting. From what I gather flashing a custom ROM does not flash a different Radio. I'm not sure if the official update changes the radio as well, but that being said, yes, it could be a Froyo based radio.

I think you're right in that somehow the ROM isn't picking up the network type options in the settings, which is strange. It might fix itself if I restore the 1.34 ROM and then reflashing Unity 1.26?

Anyhow there's the test menu I can always go to and not being able to select GSM only is not a big issue to me. I'm still relatively new to rooting and flashing custom ROMS so I don't think I'll play around with Radios yet.

Cheers,
[G2 and Desire Z General] monomer888:
I got s-off and perm root in a similar way to you. I did a downgrade from 1.72. The downgrade to 1.34 would have given you an older radio firmware version (to the one the Desire Z shipped with at launch).

If the problem truly is with the ROM talking to the radio firmware, then it's probably because the RILs in the ROM aren't totally compatible with the older radio.

Yeah if the function is there and everything else works, it's fair enough if you don't feel like experimenting with the radio version yet! :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] bigga1986:
I'm quite interested in this issue as well, I have a Desire HD on VF AU using Unity v1.31.0 and I've had the same problem with the GSM only option and have experienced it on most Sense ROMs that I have loaded on my phone. The only ROM in which the option remained was CM7.

It looks like most people having issues with it are VF AU customers. I've read some other forum posts suggesting Vodafone disabling the ability the change to GSM only in the new base? Is that even possible? If so, is there any way we can get back the ability to change to GSM without having to go through the advanced network settings menu.

I can report that I have the same problem with a Desire HD running Android Revolution Gingerbread after upgrading from an Android Revolution Froyo version.

Hi, is there a way to update Adobe AIR 2.7 on the Nook or getting flash 10.3, because I've tried to update AIR from the market but I'm getting an error. I'm asking this because I'm using my nook as a developer device for crating apps with java and Adobe AIR.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Okay so I was testing out one of my captivates. I mostly use it as a backup anyways. A little history. I HAVE BEEN on DGs Cog5 beta2 with the captivate bootloaders and all was working good. I then decided to install Apex 7.1 over the top of it. It worked fine and now I had the Talon Kernel. I THINK I made the mistake of then NOT flashing DGs kernel before trying to use a nandroid backup I had made just before installing Apex 7.1. It seemed fine when it went to reboot and the Talon kernel screen showed up though I was restoring DGs Cog5beta2 and that was it. It just sat at the kernel bootscreen.

I am able to get into DOWNLOAD MODE but now 3 different computers do not work and I get a USB failed. Tried a new cable, redoing all the drivers (They both worked before doing the above with Odin) and still no go. I CAN also get into recovery but almost NOTHING will work in it ie: wipe data, cache, ect. From the time recovery comes up it shows E: failed for cache, data, system, etc. As you can see in the picture. So I cannot run nandroid or anything, it all goes back to this screen. I MAY try to buy ANOTHER NEW cable for download mode and keep trying (just bought one a week ago so not sure WHY it would be. failing already and my primary captivate does seem to work). But looking for anyone who has seen this and had a fix for it. (I HAVE BEEN SOFT BRICKED MANY TIMES AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO WORK. So not really sure what got corrupted here this time. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
