Thought I would add that my brother bought one and has had his about three Weeks. He's sending his back due to constantly losing data coverage in the same area I'm in and his phone vibration rarely works. Stock Roms for both of us. And his kickstand is warped, but he keeps his in his pocket and I use a clip-on.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Funny this post popped up.

My power button went kaput tonight.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
I'm on my 5th t bolt as well, horrible build quality. My latest phone runs great but the screen has a green hue to it and the power button was messed up out of the box. All five of mine have had messed up power buttons (either out of the box or within a month) a retarded proximity sensor and the speakers and mics are poor quality and make this horrible as a phone (luckily I don't talk much) and one of them wasn't stable at 1 ghz, I had to underclock it to 800 mhz to stop the shut downs.

I got this phone because I know most of their phones are great, but even people I know who were big time HTC fans switched over to the charge. I really don't want to swap for a Samsung or LG but thats all they will switch my phone for, I wish they would switch it for a Motorola to get me through until my upgrade.
[Thunderbolt General] Mustang302LX:
I'm at about 4 months or so with the TBolt and no issues what-so-ever. I have flashed numerous ROMs, kernels and radios over and over and no issues there either. Only thing is the kickstand has a few little flakes coming off but whatever it's a phone not an antique to be worried about. I actually think the build quality is quite nice and I like how it feels sturdy in my hands not glass like the jesusphone or plasticy like other Android phones I have had....ATRIX!!!!
[Thunderbolt General] yareally:
Oh good, I'm not the only one around here that calls it the jesusphone, lol.

[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
only problems I've had on our 2 bolts is peeling of the kickstand. It's not hd2 build quality, but not bad. I don't like the plastic feel of the samsung devices.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
I just called to have my 6th t bolt sent to me. I shouldn't have given up my Droid X, that was a great phone.
[Thunderbolt General] recDNA:
All the tbolts are buggy. Why send one back?
[Thunderbolt General] migueltherocker:
The HD2 has to be the best, most beautifully built phone I've ever owned.

Have you guys been offered any other phones in exchange? I've gone through 3 replacements and they haven't offered me any other phones.
[Thunderbolt General] stedrocklp:
I have two original TB's and havent had any problems with either. Maybe its the luck of the draw. I am also very nice to my phones. As for well built, the OG droid will never be beat.
[Thunderbolt General] radiowatcher_06:
Cause when your battery pops, or your earpeace is horribly distorted, or your WiFi doesn't work, or your proximity sensor is wiggin out, or your headphone jack doesn't work, you return it. I would love to get my hands on a thunderbolt without any issues, new or referb.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
They offered me the charge or revolution but I don't plan to own anymore Samsung or LG after all the crappy phones from them over the years. So far blackberry and Motorola have been th only good phones I owned.

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

Me too, or a Bionic.

I think the reason I keep getting crappy phones is because these refurbished/certified phones suck and was someone else's reject before we get them.
[Thunderbolt General] Sweeny Russ:
Yea, I've had no problems on the functionality/software front. My problem is this is the most I've ever paid for a device on contract so I refuse to use one with a messed up power button, or a flakey kickstand, or wifi radio that's broken. I only bought this phone because:

1. Wanted unlimited data

2. Wanted 4g

3. Good Past experiences with HTC

I planned to upgrade to the bionic and give this phone to the fiance, but it took too long and now I'm not impressed with it. I love the experience and functionality of this phone. I like the charge too, but the only thing that pisses me off about the charge is that the browser is crippled. Its so laggy that it would make me embarresed to show my buddies with an iPhone something on the web.

With all this being said, I think the droid/nexus prime will be my next device. Reason being is that google has official stated that android will be focusing on OMAP compatibility in ice cream sandwich development, and I have a feeling the vigor will ship with a Qualcomm chipset. That combined with my thunderbolt experience. Still, I see no other devices on verizon currently that catch my interest.
[Thunderbolt General] loonatik78:
I have no idea how some of you go through so many devices. It really blows my mind. I've had no issues at all with this thing.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
I'd love to have a Bionic, but I'm not using an upgrade for it. They told me I could do an early upgrade since I've had so many problems but I feel I should be entitled to a decent phone since I already paid them $270 for this pos. I wasn't suppose to get an upgrade until may, and I want to hold out until then to get a phone that'll hold me over for 2 years but I need a phone to get me through until then and all they offer is Samsung and LG which I stay away from (phones only, I love my Samsung tv and I keep eyeing a galaxy tab). The only reason I don't switch to the charge is poor signal, all of my old Samsung phones had poor signal and most reviews I read about the charge mentioned that as one of the cons. If the browser is the only thing holding back from a charge why don't you try a 3rd party browser?
[Thunderbolt General] JillyBohnson:
After going through 6 of them you'd think they'd try to offer you something else. I've been through 3 so far & as soon as I get an extra $310 I'm done with Verizon/HTC.
[Thunderbolt General] eraursls1984:
They have offered, but they've only offered the charge and revolution and I've already had all the crappy Samsung and LG phones that I care to. I'd go back to a Droid X if they would refund some of the $270 I spent on this piece.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Im hard on phone by trade ;)
[Thunderbolt General] davidstech11:
I am on my 4th or 5th Thunderbolt. I lost count. The last one was because there was some particle under the lens that showed up on every picture/video.
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
I've had this phone for 4-5 months. The kickstand is beginning to peel, but you can take that crap off no problem. I've not had any problems with this phone.

Sounds like you guys have bad luck...

[Thunderbolt General] Sweeny Russ:
They spit so many of these devices out so fast, some are complete bricks, some are perfect, some start out okay then wear out, its luck of the draw.

The browser of the charge was really the summary of my experience with it. It wasn't horrible, but it was laggy to the point of irritation to me. I don't think its the hardware as much as touchwiz 3.0 sucks. When first got me thunderbolt, the speed was unbelievable for a single core device, even running sense 2.0. Of course s-off and updating to gingerbread was even a bigger step in the right direction.

What I'm trying to say is that they have offered me the other 4g devices, but lg is an immediate no, and I just wasn't impressed with the charge. This is in addition to the fact that I love the thunderbolt when it doesn't have any issues. I guess as long as they keep sending me them, I will keep trying new roms and using a massive amount of their lte bandwidth.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
I was just sitting here thinking about the rumored quad core phones coming and thought it would be awesome. I then started wondering if our SoC could support hyperthreading. I don't know if this was thought of or not but thought I'd check. Had anyone looked into it at all? If it is possible, what would have to be done?

[HTC Sensation] kvl5057:
Hey guys, was looking through the forums but didnt see any results so...

I'm running Android Revolution Rom 3.1.1 and im experiencing problems when typing in sms. Whenever I'm typing a sentence up in my text's, it would sometimes interupt and I would hit the messages that are already shown, bringing up a different menu. At other times it would send. An example is if I were to type "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog", I would get to "The quick br" then a menu pops up (the same menu that pops up when you tap on a message someone had sent to you, which has Share-Call-Open Contact-Forward,etcetc). This gets very annoying and sometimes the text ends up sending itself (probably because I'm typing the sentence but the menu pops up and I accidently hit the key to send since the keyboard drops down when the menu pops up.

I dont know if it makes sense but essentially its almost as if I'm typing my sentence and I hit the back key, the keyboard dissapears. I've thought about the possibility of me typing too fast and just accidently hitting the back key, which minimizes the keyboard, but I doubt I touch the backkey and I even adjusted texting calibration as well as G-sensor calibration. Anyone having this problem? It's happening in almost every text I write, which is fustrating when I have to sloowwwwly type everything out and make sure I dont accidently send anything.

Anyone have any experience on this matter? Thanks a lot!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafeHaven:
I had this problem and just managed to figure it out today (through the power of google). Superboot, oneclick and gingerbreak all don't work for 2.3.4 as of right now, so you have to use the PASSIMG method to flash an older version and root from there.

I found a good guide, but given that I've been a lurker for the past couple years as opposed to a regular poster, I can't link it. In lieu of a link, I suggest a search query such as "root 2.3.4 nd1razor"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Your bootloader is unlocked. No need for all that crap. Put the su zip on your sd card. Flash custom recovery via fastboot. Boot directly into the new recovery. And flash the su.zip from the recovery. You're rooted. The end.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amolji:
you just need to flash custom recovery via fast boot or rom manager.then you can flash custom roms (which mostly have root along with tweaks) via recovery

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djyoshii:
Ok firstly I purchased my phone from Tandomobile, so i'm assuming it's a HK handset (i'm located in Australia though).

Anyway i've had a look on both Intratech's ROM thread & also on Samfirmware.com, but cannot find a stock ROM that matches my one:

PDA: I9100XWKF3

PHONE: I9100XXKE7

CSC: I9100YOGKE1

I've found ones that match the PDA & Phone, however there is nothing remotely close to my CSC version (YOG), even google didn't turn up anything.

Which ROM would I need to use if i wanted to go back to stock?

Would using a different one cause any issues?

If i flashed with one of the Australian generic/carrier ROMS, would i then be able to send it in for a local warranty? Or can they easily tell it's not a local handset?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
make an nandroid back up and store in a safe place, so that you can flash it back to the phone later; or

make a copy of your csc.

official stock firmware is up to KG5, I believe any one of these will work.

No, using a different one will not cause any issues.

yes, you could send it in for warranty, not really as their are different handsets depending on where and from whom you bought the handset.

The only reason they may refuse service unless you reset the custom counter.

Flashing technically void the warranty unless it is done though official means of upgrading. Kies.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] comeatmebro:
Does anyone know how to keep the original lockscreen widget when you change lockscreens?

I love the samsung music player, and the music widget that's on the lock screen but when you change lockscreens with agile lock for example, the samsung music widget disappears. Also in order to use a music widget you have to use a completely different music player.

So in other words is there a way to just keep the original music widget with the samsung music player with another lock screen? or will this require a modified rom/kernel?
[Atrix 4G General] amwbt:
With the development of the minimum backlight settings. I was wondering if someone could make an app or script that you could run to set the minimum backlight setting. Instead of having to pass terminal commands after every reboot. The settings I would like are.

echo 17 05 > registers

Anyone up for it?

Also, I'm running CM7.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Here ya go! SuperDim.

If you want to do me a favor post in the thread asking the developer for a "set on boot" option. He said he would add it if he got a few more requests for it, and it would be a great feature for this app! Dont worry, the lowest brightness is still visible on the Atrix, no way to screw up the Atrix with this like he mentioned he was worried about for some phones.. Also this is a great battery saver. Enjoy.
[Atrix 4G General] ServError:
I'm pretty sure he's asking for a program/script that controls the new low power backlight kernel that reduces voltage to the backlight, not a program that dims the old fashioned way.
[Atrix 4G General] amwbt:
Yes, need something to set minimum brightness level after reboot. Doesn't need to be automatic. All it needs to do is issue the commands:

cd sys/bus/i2c/drivers/lm3532/0-0038/leds/lcd-backlight

echo 17 05 > registers

I'm using the edited framework from the minimum brightness backlight MOD for CM7.
[Atrix 4G General] scrchngwsl:
Have you tried GScript Lite?
[Atrix 4G General] sipjca:
I can write an app that does this real quick, one of them sets min brightness within itself but not outside, I'm sure I can get something like this working though. I don't really know how to script but I could definitely write an app.
[Atrix 4G General] amwbt:
I just wrote a script and made it set the setting on boot. So no need to write an app. Google is a wonderful thing. If other people want the script I can start a thread and post my script and the directions on how to get it to set the min backlight setting on boot.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
Yes please. :) I havent yet tried this kernel but would be willing to test it out for a minimum brightness on boot feature. The SuperDim I mentioned earlier is a great battery saver so I imagine this would be too, amirite?
[Atrix 4G General] amwbt:
My script doesn't use the Kernel method, just the edited framworks posted in the Backlight MOD.
[Atrix 4G General] WiredPirate:
oIc. Well i would still be interested in reading about it in more detail if you are wanting to write it all up in a thread. Between the app, the kernel and now the script Im having a hard time deciding what the best method is. I just want to save battery life by having a lower screen brightness.
[Atrix 4G General] amwbt:

Im not going to say your too far away because we do have these 2 ROMS (ports of them technically)

but....this is the EVO Shift section not the EVO section so to get the best possible answers (and to be saved from being flamed here) I would ask in the EVO section :)
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
On Evo you probably want to use Synergy.

On Evo Shift Supreme Sense is the best Sense rom and is really cool because it's mostly Sense 3.0. Only problem is no landscape on the home screen with it (Which they are working on).

Other than that Mikshift and Synergy are also good.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
On the EVO4G I would hands down suggest MikG v2.5 - Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0 . It has great battery llife, a ton of Sense 3.0 , really fast, and is completely stable. Run it on the wife's EVO, she loves it. Also have a few peeps who run it on their EVO's, Stable and Solid. With plenty of mods and extra tweaks if that's what your after. But right out of the box, an Excellent Rom.

In both a case of curiosity, I went to flash a ROM on my SGS. It's the Lite'ning ROM, by the way. It was only after I did that that questions started coming up.

What will happen when I can upgrade to a newer Android firmware (say for example, 2.4?) Will it be possible to upgrade to that newer firmware and undo the ROM like how it is with the iPhone?

Also, I'd like to know whether there are any specific procedures involved in upgrading the ROMs that is flashed on the phone. Do I simply grab the latest version of the ROM and flash it as I did the first time?

Thanks in advance. Hope to receive responses soon.
