[LG Thrill 4G] 00mred00:
Since I am a told you so person

The Galaxy S II will be available starting October 2 for $199.99 w/2-yr contract! Min. $15/month data plan req'd. social.att.com/VDq

check their twitter and facebook ;)

I still think it is silly to buy the phone...he is testing the Celox now (1.5 Snapdragon proc with LTE)
[LG Thrill 4G] ngocdao:
Yup, S2 officially announced today for oct 2nd release in our internal notes:) cant wait. Trading my thrill in
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
Someone mind telling me their problems with the Thrill?
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Not sure. I played around with the Epic 4g (sgs2) at bestbuy and aside from the fact that its a little more comfortable to hold (lighter/thinner) I couldn't find anything about it that made me want to return my Thrill. Don't get me wrong, its definitely an awesome phone...but playing with it side by side with my Thrill there is really no difference except its already got GB...oh and no 3D ;)

[LG Thrill 4G] Twisted Z:
As far as I can tell most just want the newest latest greatest Phone...and this won't be it when the SII cones out.

This phone is killer for me for a first Adriod phone and was only $24.95 at Costco ;)
[LG Thrill 4G] kotaro_14:
Meh... Well I had the S2, but go bored with TW... Traded for Thrill, happy, but really missing the full 1 Gb. of Ram... Why doesn't LG put 1Gb of dual-channel Ram instead of 512mb. -_-?!
[LG Thrill 4G] Aquarianperry:
Agreed, and if this phone would have come out in July or August I would have jumped on it especially if LG would have thrown 1gb of RAM, come out with Gingerbread and some mild if at all assurance in telling me that the Thrill would get an official ICS by February 2012, I don't see that happening if they will just be putting out Gingerbread for it in October. I know there has been no official ICS mentioned for the GSII's but thru hell or high water via modders or official channels I'm sure to bet it will get some sort of ICS by January 2012 and it's for certain with the 1gb of RAM I'm sure it'll handle official or unofficial updates well into 2012 and possibly into 2013.

I've come really close to buying this phone twice now when looking over Thrill 4G's 3D, dual channel ram and dirt cheap price is great and all right now but its a little too late and too close to better phones coming out, it's all about future planning and in my mind the future of this phone is in doubt especially being hooked to a one or two year contract, especially with LG officially saying that there will be an improved Optimus 3D coming out soon and it's a pretty safe bet it will have 1gb of RAM, better battery, thinner (not to say the size is bad now but they have already stated it will be thinner) and a better screen 2D and 3D wise.
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
I was tempted to trade this phone in for the GSII but realized 2 months down the road something else will come out that's better than the GSII and then 4 months after that, something better than that. And so on and so forth. My friend picked up his GSII from Sprint. And it's a really nice phone and I enjoy the larger screen size (I'd love to have the Samsung Note size screen). But I had to ask myself what was it that his phone (or a GSII) could do that that I need it to that mine couldn't. And I really couldn't come up with anything. Sure it might be a tad bit faster...but really how much faster that it's impacting me negatively. Really the speed difference was minimal. When it came down to it, I really just wanted the GSII because it was newer and 'better'. But I like this phone.

I like to mess and change my phone like all Android users but after having been through 11 phones in the last year and a half, I'm at the point of actually wanting to settle with screens for a bit and not have to rechange them because I'm having to trade my phone in.

And this Thrill has the issue of not moving apps to the external SD card unless I do through copy and paste on the usb to laptop. But after loading my phone up with a lot of apps (I'm a very app happy person that has a lot of apps that I really never use), I still have almost 2.5 gigs of memory left.

To be honest, the last phone I got that was completely bug free out of the box was a blackberry. And the blackberry before that had no issues. But blackberry phones are so boring.

I'm absolutely thrilled to see development support. The Thriller rom is awesome and it'll be nice to see what ever else comes around.

There was an article on the ICS system and that phones with OMAP processors will get them before tegra 2. Then tegra 2 devices will get ICS. And then the rest will get ICS. It would be interesting to see if that really pans out like it's supposed to. Of course, sometimes ATT blocks a bit of the timely releases.

So, really...for those of you that don't like the phone, return it. I like it, and I'm keeping it.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Well said.

On a side note that "bigger" screen on the sprint wont be so on the ATT version. ATT is getting the 4.3" version of the sgs2, same as the Thrill. Sprint got 4.5" version.
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
I think I got on my soapbox after too many beverages celebrating tomorrows competition at the Warrior Dash. I think this is the first time it's come to Oklahoma, so it'll be really cool to compete on home ground.
[LG Thrill 4G] alienwehr:
Remember

OK,

So I'm reading down the posts and I figured this can be summed up in comparison to car buying.

You have a brand of car you like. But a car you are unfamiliar with comes out and has a good price and newer features. Do you buy the car you are unfamiliar with as a stand by until the car you really want comes out with some better specs. Or do you get stuck with a car that after a month of its release has iffy (no moral) in support and questioning compatibility. I believe you should go with what you stand by in a company. The GSII won't disappoint and we know that. I mean up to a month ago we were still using our SGS's with the latest ROM's still enjoying every minute. And we know support for the GSII is already taken on by the best developers. I for one will be trading as I stick by Samsung for their great products. I believe people defend the fact they bought the phone more than embrace what they really want.

I will not deny I do enjoy some aspect of the Thrill. Like the 3d, the excellent build and structural quality. But the flailing screen response and washed out color compared to the super amoled+ screens of the Galaxy line are a major downfall. Also the slow response in application switching for having dual channel ram is fleeting.

Just remember the ability to come on XDA throughout the past year and find new and exciting ROM's, Kernals and updates to our beloved ROM's for the original Galaxy S, and stand by a company exceeding expectations in cell phone products and support.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
I'm not gonna disagree with your post at all except to say this. TRY cm7 for O3D and you will see what this phone is capable of. Its not the hardware holding this thing back. Its the software. This phone absolutely FLIES on cm7. I'm not saying switch to cm7, there's stuff that doesn't work. But it will show you what this thing is capable of.
[LG Thrill 4G] quarlow:
I am holding out hope that DG will get us an amazing GB ROM when they start flowing. The hardware seems amazing. I think even the LG GB stock will be a step up.
[LG Thrill 4G] Ronacarino:
I actually like my lg thrill alot.. I've had the samsung infuse which is somewhat similar to the sg2. But I didn't like alot of what the infuse had.. the screen is amazing though.. color, contrast, display is great. The only thing I didn't like about my lg so far was the front face camera... such a disappointment. :(
[LG Thrill 4G] :
The Sll is a good phone but patience is the key in this thread. Many believe that the Thrill's/Optimus 3D's capabilities are going to be substantially increased in the next software update to Gingerbread. Unless the extra 200 mhz in the dual core processor attracts you that much to the Galaxy then go for it. Because otherwise I along with many others I've heard from will stick with out current Thrills and Optimus 3D's. We can live with Froyo for a bit, and then enjoy the 3D features and dual channel ram integrated into our device. I love and I wouldn't leave it for any other phone right now. xD. Just wished they hadn't loaded Froyo onto the damn thing first :D.
[LG Thrill 4G] Trekfan422991:
I'm with ya brother... keepin my thrill... it has the potential to be a screamer... the only thing that mildly disappointed me about it not having gingerbread was because of the three delays... hoping one was for gb... dissapointed it wasn't... not upset enough to return.

Sent from my LG Thrill 4G...
[LG Thrill 4G] :
Haha thanks, and besides there will always be something newer and greater. The problem is settling with what you have.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
I'm definitely sticking with the thrill. Hardware wise its an amazing phone. Software can be fixed.
[LG Thrill 4G] kurrptsenate:
I would like to have the Galaxy 2 (used to have a captivate) for the better screen and the slight hardware improvements, but I really can't justify the price. I agree with others in that the Thrill will be closer to it's true potential when we finally get an update.

Considering they finally updated Netflix to work and the fact that we get Tegra games working, it doesn't seem to really be a big issue.

The fact that I'm able to watch SBS dvd/blu rays is a pretty sweet feature that you really can't get anywhere else.
[LG Thrill 4G] shaxs:
Unfortunately I will probably be trading in my Thrill also. I really like it, the feel and build quality are excellent. I dont care for 3D. However, the random reboots and the multiple bluetooth issues are a no go for me. Its too bad.
[LG Thrill 4G] naplesbill:
To each their own I suppose. I will probably never own another Samsung device. After all the issues I had with the Captivate, no thanks. That phone almost got me fired. Long story short, the phone just shut off and I almost missed a mandatory meeting.

Also, I had a Captivate when the dev community was just as small as it currently is for the Thrill. Just be patient people, devs will come to any device that shows worthiness. Just look at the X10 as another example. It was shunned in the beginning but eventually people began to see it's merits and now there is plenty of development on that device. The X10 has an absolute ton more shortcomings than the Thrill.

I honestly think this device has and does everything I want and need it to. My first one had a wanky GPS, but the second one has proven solid so far.
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
I had a SGS2 and just got my Thrill. First impressions/comparison is that the SGS2 definitely felt faster and more responsive.
[LG Thrill 4G] :
How big of a difference is the speed compared to the SGS2 and the Thrill?
[LG Thrill 4G] Spartoi:
I dunno how to accurately measure it but when I had my SGS2, I never had to wait for anything unless it was Network related. On the Thrill, I see myself waiting for a lot more things to load up/transition to the next task. The SGS2 Browser is better/faster, but that's expected since its HW accelerated. I'm not sure if its my screen protector (Invisible Shield), but sometimes I have to press the capacitive buttons a lot of times for them register.

This is just a comparison between the stock Roms btw.

EDIT:

Wow, I didn't think the Thrill would be so much slower. It seems this phone slows down immensely when scrolling through a long list. The worst time was probably when I was updating all of my apps from the market (which sadly goes one at a time) and clicking each of them to see them to see the changelog. The phone began slideshow mode, lol. I'm gonna install Thriller and add the build.prop tweaks and see the improvement.

EDIT 2:

Ok, I've used all the available tweaks (build.prop, SuperCharger, etc) and the phone was still lagging a lot. So, I uninstalled about 30-40 apps and now the phone is at its fastest. I'm kinda disappointed that the Thrill can't have as many apps the SGS2 while keeping up performance, and the tiny space for Apps was shocking, but its not that big of a deal.
[LG Thrill 4G] shaxs:
I too seem to have some touch issues on my phone. Takes a few taps on buttons and other places to register sometimes.

thrill

im keeping my thrill. so far ive had only one issue with it. and at first i was completely dissapointed in the phone. i was about to return it.

when i got it i decided to root it and do all those fancy things that u can still do. i rooted it, intalled a few apps/widgets that use the rooting permission. battery saver, memory saver etc. stuff like that. the phone SLOWED THE F*K down. i mean waaaay slow. pathetic speed. i kept killing apps and wondering wtf was up. then i decided to return it so i unrooted it and WHOA. a of the sudden its mega fast. i instaled just the apps i need on it, then i installed a launcher. first it was adw. i competely tweaked it up for eye candy and tried to make it so that it has as much possibility to ag as possible. (lol). ddnt lag at all. fanastic speeds. i ddnt even need to wait for anything. the stock launcher is absolute sht.

but it gets better lol. i ddnt cheap out so i payed the 15 dollars for spb shell 3d. now that...wow. waaaay fast and the best part is....u can have like 15 different pannels all LOADED with widgets and stuff. it wont lag one bit. tested both of them, (adw and shell) and looked at how much memory these aunchers all used. (home stock launcher used like 30k+ kb. adw was more at 20k kb. and shell, with everything loaded is never above 10k kb)

i couldnt b happier with the thrill at this point. its extremely responsive, very fast and smooth. i thought the she 3d would lag at least a LITTLE bit cuz of all the fancy 3d stuff. but nop. no lag. im unrooted btw. when i was rooted, my BT wouldnt turn on and and i had problems with wi fi.

unroot ur phones for now, install that new launcher and thats it.
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Well it looks like I'll be trading my Thrill in tomorrow. For another Thrill. Payed $80+tax on full retail price at Radio Shack. Walmart now has it in store for $20. The best part is that Walmart only charges tax on the $20, not on the full retail price. Every where I went told me it was California state law that they charge tax on full retail price. But for whatever reason walmart only charges tax on what you pay for the phone. So thats a significant savings. The tax alone from Radio shack was more than their restocking fee plus the $60 difference in the cost of the phone.

So I dont know what the laws are like in other states, but for those of you in California or a state with similar tax laws, I thought id give you a heads up on saving a few bucks. Hell even if you live in a state with no sales tax, thats a hell of a price!

On a side note walmart is also selling the SGSII for ATT for $165 on contract.
[LG Thrill 4G] reallybigwaffle:
Just returned my SGS II today. I LOVED that phone. Though, I got Best Buy to price match the price on the Thrill--$20--Yep, you can't really beat a dual core phone for $20, even though the SGS II was $165....I couldn't justify the difference. The LG feels better in my hand as well, the SGS II might actually be too thin for me. I like a bit of heft to my phone.
[LG Thrill 4G] donavo:
im not sure how samsung is nowdays but the one i had b4 my thrill also had tht amoled screen. its pretty and all but one thing i hated about it is its nearly impossible to c in direct sunlight. thrill has tht iphone kinda screen display where its rly clear even in sunlight.
[LG Thrill 4G] shaxs:
I got the SG2 today and will be returning the Thrill. Mostly because the LG kept rebooting and didnt play nicely with the bluetooth in my truck. I like the feeling and heft of the LG, even though my car mount had trouble holding it up directly.

Samsung Galaxy S2 feels a little too thin. Im actually looking forward to a new case that adds more thickness to it.

Overall, I would say I like GS2 better. If the Thrill worked in my truck and didnt reboot, I would probably keep that and spend $20 on it instead.
[LG Thrill 4G] alienwehr:
Gave up the thrill

I gave up my Thrill today just under the thirty day. Got myself the SGSII and all I can say is this is the most powerful featherweight phone I have ever used. After rooting and putting CWM Recovery, Kernal and DG's Beta 3 Cognition X2 the thing screams. 3800+ quadrant score. And *no lag* working wifi, tethering.

I promise it was worth the extra money.

And as for the thinness of the phone, I mean your not gonna break it, Gorilla glass front and extremely flexible thin back plastic (although it feels like it will break at the slightest bend) very durable.

I'm sticking with the phone I know has DG's full attention.:)
[LG Thrill 4G] rthamilton:
I find my s2 to be easier to read in daylight. But that's using both on auto brightness. Increasing brightness on thrill might solve that tho. I currently have both phones. Today I took my first pic with s2 to see can quality which is a big improvement over thrill. I think the thrill camera could be fixed with some tweaks designed for low lighting situations. Most of my bad pics on thrill are with poor lighting. And usually it seems like the camera and flash might be outta sync.

i use Connectify,to build a wifi network. i chose "Access Point,WPA2-PSK"in Security Mode. about 10minutes later, my device break away from the network.

seconds later, it would be ok!my ROM is MIUI 2.3.5.a . how about your defy?

when i chose "Ad-Hoc"it is always fine.so , i wonder what is wrong with my device.or it is broken?
[Defy General] davenaughty:
:D My chinese friend~ MIUI2.3.5a too，but my device works well.( Connectify and router both)

I faced the same problem

first, update the connictify to the latest version

then, set the network type to: open (without passowrd)

ot should works

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsteven77x:
Long story short we have many issues of people losing mobile data and or GPS. Once it breaks it is broken across all roms they flash. I am a previous g2 owner and I remember we came up with the efs wipe+ that alleviated most of these problems. Nothing of that sort exists in our forums, and to be honest were a bit short on knowledgeable people that could figure out what partitions those are for our phones and making a script. Alot of people on my forum have never even heard of these partitions so do not even understand what I am trying to tell them. Since I had a g2 and understand this, I come as an ambassador from the g2x forum asking nicely if someone could help us out, since i know the g2 is a known phone that people are knowledgable about in this area. Please were desperate!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Even if the G2X has an (accessible) EFS partition, wiping it is a terrible idea, take a Samsung phone for instance, if you wipe the EFS partition on one of them, you end up with no IMEI number.

Looking at my O2X, there is very little in the way of (visible) EMMC partitions, everything mmcblk based /dev/block is accounted for.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
Well the G2x is LG, not Sammy so it would really be trial and error to see if wiping the EFS would delete the IMEI number. Granted HTC and Sammy are completely different in the way of file systems and partitions, not sure why you would think LG is more related to Samsung in that sense than it would be to HTC though.

Not saying you're wrong but without looking you're making some pretty huge assumptions IMO. Better to err on the side of caution though, right?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Yeah I'm not saying it's the same as a Samsung or the same as HTC, just recommending approaching with a lot of caution... I doubt the first person who found the EFS on the Vision just thought "let's see what happens if I blitz this", there must have been some logic involved first.

I know Smartflash is capable if erasing your IMEI if you're careless and tick a box, so it's doable in someway.

Has any one has successfully rooted their htc salsa? Forum experts please come up with a way to root this device, htc phone with out rooting is a waste device, now I regret for buying this phone
