[Thunderbolt General] Hot Carl:
I had a T-Mobile Dash from work and it sucked. I still have it but its turned off in a drawer somewhere. The Thunderbolt was just coming out and I found it for $180 from Wirefly.com .. that was 70 bucks cheaper than the retail price so I ordered it. Have not looked back since. 4G LTE was a bonus for me since I am not that heavy a data user, but it sure is nice when I do.

You can get the Thunderbolt for one penny now at Amazon. Excellent phone if you do not already have one. For a penny.
[Thunderbolt General] WhiteReign:
Funny thing is i was torn , apple small screen or tb with a bigger screen. No like any one bigger is better lol. Month after i got a tablet hehehe.
[Thunderbolt General] chromiumcloud:
I ended up with the TB for several reasons:

1) and by far the most important reason: Wanted unlimited 4G data.

2) I did not trust that Verizon would allow 3G unlimited data owners to upgrade to LTE. They say that's the case now, but there is nothing written in stone that says they have to honor that. They can put the stop on the unlimited data grandfathering at ANY TIME.

3) I looked at all 3 phones: the Charge, Revolution, and the TB. Yes, the TB's gotten ****ty press, but is has the largest dev community. Seriously,

you guys

make this phone light years better than the other two. That may change with the Bionic. But with the Prime on the horizon, I will remain happy with my TB for a long time to come. Other than better battery life, what else could I really want? The data speeds are amazing. The custom roms are incredible. The phone, while not a speed demon, is fine for most everything I want to do.
[Thunderbolt General] theryanguy:
This was more of an "Answer by accident" for me. I bought into the shiney lights and whistles, like the big screen, FFC, strong hardware, 42 inch rims.... Little did I know how much happier I'd be after rooting (especially comming from a "release day" Eris). Truth is, technology changes, there's no way around that, and if you by a device on its release day, you're taking a chance. In my opinon, I just happened to win. Too bad I can't do that for the lottery.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
My Droid 2's power button crapped out in me and I had an upgrade. The revolution wasn't out yet (no matter, I'm nit big on LG phones) and the charge was a by too much money, plus it was so Lightman it felt like I could crush it with my hand.

I wanted 4g phone before tiered data, so the x2 was out.

On top of that, I love HTC phones, so the tbolt was a shoe in.

Sent from my HTC CyanogenBolt powered by CyanogenMod 7 RC1.6.1
[Thunderbolt General] FP5241:
I got mine because windows mobile on my tp2 was not cutting it and I wanted a 4.3" HTC device... No brainer for me. :)
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
WOW!!! TP2 huh. I had that phone about 4 phones ago... :D
[Thunderbolt General] Tower1972:
I had the Evo as well and BADDDDDDDDDDD 3G speeds (streaming Youtube or pandora was next to impossible,and im smack in the middle of an "excellent "coverage area )that got me to file a claim with the BBB. Verizons 3G beats the living snot out of anything I was able to pull in with Sprint.But now I actually have 4G,im happy!
[Thunderbolt General] jr313:
I bought my TB so i could be one of the first to have 4g, i bought it off contract so i still have an upgrade which if the PRIME comes to BIG RED that'll be what its used for! I live in Detroit and we have 4g and im luvn it.
[Thunderbolt General] FP5241:
Ha!!

Then you can feel my pain.. huh?

:D
[Thunderbolt General] himmelhauk:
Bought mine because A) I'm partial to HTC (and Samsung, but I got tired of waiting for the Charge). B) I wanted 4G and C) At the time I bought it, it was the best phone Verizon had. The only reason I'd even want a Droid 3 or X2 is for dual-core, but then no 4G. So I'll wait for the Vigor or the Galaxy S II, whichever comes first lol
[Thunderbolt General] arschein:
Because I have an incurable disease that forces me to purchase the "latest and greatest" technology no matter the cost... Remember the $800 Athlon X2?
[Thunderbolt General] recDNA:
Heck, I'd love to pick up a second tbolt cheap just for trying different roms while keeping one stock for safety sake. I'd just switch the sim card back and forth. I figure I should.be able to pick up one for a.song in 6 months so I'll bide my time.
[Thunderbolt General] Trigster:
I'm actually going to be an owner of a new TB this Thursday.

I had the LG Revolution, but SO many dang issues with it.

Constant reboots, couldn't get on ANY eFnet server, WiFi whacky, and tons and tons of times I would just lose all data connection. And since my 2nd Rev (I had to replace it once due to dead USB), this latest one came with the Update already installed, and i could NOT un-update it.

So I was able to get Amazon to do an exchange for me. :)
[Thunderbolt General] ponyboy82:
Nice. The TB has had its share of problems too, but hopefully it goes well for you (mine's pretty stable since the last update). In a selfish way, it's also kind of nice to know the Revo and Charge have issues too ;)
[Thunderbolt General] jbh00jh:
You can find something wrong with any electronic device. :)
[Thunderbolt General] Trigster:
So I got my TB today and by far I'm WAY more impressed with the TB over the Revolution. HTC sense really is a nice interface compared to LG's.

I do have a question and issue.

1. I noticed that the 4g/3g WiFi hotspot is unlocked on my stock phone. How long is the trial period?

2. I cant get connected to ANY eFnet using AndChat. I had the same issue on my LG. Regardless what connection I use, LTE/3G/1x or even WiFi. Before my LG auto updated eFnet worked fine, after the update nothing.

But all in all, I love the TB!
[Thunderbolt General] lxJGTxl:
my reason was my Fascinate was pretty much dead to me and needed a new phone asap. I had another upgrade so i sold my fascinate and just paid few extra dollar difference. 4GLTE plus ive been wanting this phone since i heard of it.
[Thunderbolt General] ponyboy82:
The free hotspot was removed in later updates. I guess if you don't have any 3G/4G connection issues or reboots, don't bother updating and enjoy the tethering!
[Thunderbolt General] Trigster:
I'm on 1.13.605.7 (if I'm reading the correct one, if not a little help? :o )
[Thunderbolt General] queva1:
1. was and still is the best 4g lte available

2. got tired of waiting for the bionic

3. i could unlocked root s-off when i purchased

4. my og droid was suckin wind big time

5. thunderstick! (well maybe that was after i bought it :)
[Thunderbolt General] fixxxer2008:
the love and honeymoon phase for the phone has died down alot but i still enjoy it besides the sketchy 4g.
[Thunderbolt General] iLLiMiTaBLe:
4g works in Los Angeles. It was the only 4g phone. 4g is fast, and I'm impatient.
[Thunderbolt General] noobynoo:
Thought the skype would be good for deployment. Then it didn't have it on it, but I was still going to get a new android phone and all the info on this one did it for me.(then a hacked version came out with FC working. Worked great the whole deployment.

This is my first android. Came from an env2.

Thanks to this forum and others. I have enjoyed this phone.
[Thunderbolt General] mrchu001:
same here. i would give anything to get my hands on that Vigor or the Prime coming out... i dont think i could live without sense.
[Thunderbolt General] MadManMoon:
Played with the TB, Charge, and Revolution at the VZW corporate store, noticed that 3G speeds were twice what we were getting on Sprint (I had an EVO, wife had an EVO Shift). Very poor reception on Sprint in our house, where Verizon was 3-4 bars and very consistent. No 4G at home yet, but available where we both work, so that's enough. Even the 3G increases were enough.

I LOVED my EVO, and really like the Sense UI. So for me, it was a no-brainer to get the TB over the other 4G phones.

Got mine at a VZW reseller nearby a few days after we played with them at the corporate store (took me that long to convince my wife to switch, lol)...the corporate store was way too crowded, and I wanted the phone IMMEDIATELY! :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] John Kotches:
If you aren't command line savvy I can't help you much.

Try this:

Install es file explorer from the market, not root explorer.

Download photon torpedo to your phone.

Move photon torpedo to /data/tmp with es file explorer.

Install and run sshdroid from the market.

Open a terminal session on your Mac.

ssh into the phone.

Follow the instructions for photon torpedo.

extract it somewhere like your desktop

open up console or terminal (whatever it is that macs stupidly call it >.>) and run these commands

cd Desktop

cd Photon-4G-OCR

sudo chmod 755 Linux-Mac.sh

./Linux-Mac.sh

it should launch it and run it via terminal.. tada ;)

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdgeorge:
Well I did it... Broke the screen a couple of weekends ago. Ordered and received a new one. (No problem and not too bad price-wise) Then I ordered the correct screwdriver. That came in yesterday and I followed a couple of tutorials online to take the thing apart. Not too bad despite the teeny-tiny parts. I got it back together and lo-it worked! Actually it took a couple of tries and I reflashed it but then it booted right up. All the apps seemed responsive and life was good once again...

Until I tried to make a call. Then the screen went dark and it appeared that the phone froze up. Called myself from the house phone and discovered that the Aria was dialing, connecting, and sending voice but that I couldn't hear anything on the Aria.

Disassembled, re-set the earpiece, reassembled, called myself again, and I could hear. The screen came on and stayed on, but the touchscreen would not function.

Disassembled, checked all the connections, and reassembled again. The phone appears to work correctly in all aspects until I try to make or receive calls. At that point the screen shuts down and the only way to disconnect a call (or get the screen back) is to pull the battery and reboot.

I tried reflashing the ROM and that didn't work. I'm afraid the transceiver is shorting the screen out somehow but have reached the limits of my expertise.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jerry
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E.Cadro:
I have never had to replace my digitizer so only speaking from what i have read but it sounds like the very small rubber piece that covers the proximity sensor. I have read that if missing or not placed correctly people have had the same problem as you. Just my thoughts
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcassell:
I've replaced my digitizer and I have had the exact same problem. E.Cardo is correct, it is the small rubber piece on the proximity sensor not positioned correctly or not present at all.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdgeorge:
Thanks to both of you. The proximity sensor is supposed to be right behind the ATT logo, correct?

I can't wait to get home and try this. I really don't like the backup Cliq Xt... I'll post once I've messed with it.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
It's hard to see them exactly so I took a picture to show exactly where they are:

http://imgur.com/a/36h8t#ayQhv

It's actually just above the & in the at&t logo, although if you have a replacement digitizer, it might not have the at&t logo on it. If you have trouble seeing it, try looking at it in the sunlight.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E.Cadro:
To add to what drumist said there as small black rubber piece that goes around the proximity sensor that prevents light seepage and allot of people discard it by mistake when disassembling the phone.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javierarenas:
Why did you have to reflash? The new screen didn't worked?.

My aria's screen is broken too. I boutgh a new one but It doesn't work. Do you resolve this reflashing? (that's mean applying the new rom version from ATT)

Thanks for your response.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E.Cadro:
The screen or digitizer are hardware they should have nothing to do with the rom. The op only tried flashing the phone to illuminate it is a possible source of the problem. It sounds like you did not install the new screen or digitizer correctly you may need to disassemble and make sure everything is connected correctly and securely. Flashing your phone will most likely not correct your problem.

Sent From Deep Within The Rabbit-Hole
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] javierarenas:
Maybe, just maybe, there are new drivers for the touchscreen included in the rom. I am using cyanogen 7.0.3 without problems, and it works nice with the old screen.

Or the new screen is defective.

I am pretty sure I installed correctly the new screen. Of course the old one is working fine right now.

I requested a new screen so I will wait...

Thanks again.

[HTC Incredible S] hellohello5678:
Hey guys!

I'm a real noob here, but anyway, here are my questions:

Do I need to unroot my phone if the charging port is broken and I want to send it in for repairs? (Does it count as unauthorized software?)

MORE IMPORTANTLY...

How do I unroot my IS? The problem is that my phone is the Asian one, so I had to flash the AU Optus and it "updated" my radio driver. Now should I downgrade to unroot... should I downgrade to the Asian one (will it kill my radio?) Or just to the Optus one. And how exactly do I unroot? Thanks so much!
[HTC Incredible S] hellohello5678:
Please help? Does HTC care if the problem is hardware related? The lady on the phone said that the technicians do a full diagnostic. Does this mean they check for root?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Just run the Asian RUU to reflash the original ROM.
[HTC Incredible S] hellohello5678:
So the radio won't be affected?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You are returning it for warranty work, right? So what's the problem?
[HTC Incredible S] hellohello5678:
Sorry for the late reply. The problem is that when I flashed the AU Rom, it "updated" my radios. So if I flash the Asian rom, will it make my phone not work? I read about some cases where the phone stopped working or got bricked when the radio version was not correct
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You have an IncS with a IncS radio installed. If you flash a IncS RUU, it will also attempt to flash a IncS radio. This will not brick your phone if you are using an official RUU. The worst case is your phone will boot, but you may not have sound. In that case, since you are sending in the phone in for repairs, just report that is one of your issues.
