[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
I'm watching your posts lol. :cool:

Seriously though, when I made the post about the "rumor" of Gingerbread coming in or around mid October, I was told not to quote any dates or anything. I did it anyway. My buddy that works for Verizon tech support was just repeating to me what he saw in an email. There was no 100% confirmation that we were getting Gingerbread in mid October, just that it was "supposed" to happen. I'm guessing if Verizon was telling some of their tech support employees about Gingerbread, then it's probably a software compatibility issue. Which is probably caused by Verizon seeing as how metroPCS has no problem putting out the exact same phone with Gingerbread pre-loaded. As everyone else has said though, who knows? Maybe we won't see Gingerbread at all and just jump right to ICS? No one knows what is going to happen. Maybe any update will get pulled and we'll just be stuck on Froyo forever.

When I had the HTC Droid Eris, they never updated it past 2.2.2 because, and I quote from an article I read somewhere:

"The HTC Droid Eris will not receive the Gingerbread update because the hardware cannot handle it."

That was a load of horses**t. I ran 2.3.3 on my Eris with no issues at all. Almost the same thing happened with the OG Droid, no update because it was an "outdated" device. Come on people, these devices are "outdated" the very same day they're announced. With the first sentence in a post about a device that is "coming soon," it's already outdated. The Galaxy Nexus is coming soon and will be the first phone to have ICS on it. This phone will be "outdated" within the first 2 months of it being out because then you have the Droid 4/Droid RAZR. New phones come out every 2 weeks or so, device #2 is supposed to release 5 or 6 months after the first one released (Revo 2). It's getting crazy.

Ok enough of my rant because I'm sure Haro is going through my post with a fine toothed comb trying to find errors so he can correct me LOL. All I know is that I am completely happy with my phone as of now. I'm not really worried about even getting Gingerbread at this point. In March I have an upgrade and I don't even know if I'm going to use it or not. Why worry about getting this big time Galaxy Nexus when it's going to be old news 2 weeks later?

I really hope we do get Gingerbread soon but again, I'm not that worried about it. Thanks to MtMichaelson and MajorPay and theCubed and everyone else that helped make these ROMs possible, I get very good battery life for a 4G phone and it looks pretty damn cool too. That's all I really want and all I could ever really ask for.

Fyi I was sitting in my friends garage reading this and I lawled when I saw the first sentence and then even harder when I saw my name pop up. But I think out would beer awesome for us to get

Just wanted to share this with you guys for a little bit more info on getting Gingerbread. AndroidCentral posted this yesterday. It's kind of a long post but if you scroll down, you will see the Verizon Lineup of devices, still to get Gingerbread. And yes, the Revo is still under the "expected" status.

http://www.androidcentral.com/dear-molly-rants-lets-talk-about-android-fragmentation

It's also a good article to read!
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
From what I was told when I bought my phone, LG was having lots of Smartphone issues. The revolution (named for the change with LG, not a "Revolutionary" phone) was a phone that LG put a lot of effort into in order to change their image with Smart Phones. I have to disagree with the idea that they 'could've / should've' released it with GB. Why? It's likely they tried and tested with Froyo to get this phone perfected, per say, and why would you go and do a thing like M$ and release something in a hurry when what you have is proving reliable?

Don't get me wrong, it would've been great to have GB, but when you have to change your perception, you have to go with what works rather than 'the latest and greatest' approach, otherwise you get "Vista".

I have a strong feeling that GB will be out within the next few days as the Revolution 2 with GB is due out on the 20th of this month, based on this link:

[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
How reliable is that picture though? I don't see the HTC Rhyme on there and it just came out.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
When did the other phones that are on there come out? I don't know the exact release of the Bionic but I think it was fairly close to that date.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
The HTC Bliss is the Rhyme
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
I suspect they will do it in order.

So I think they will fix and finish the Tbolt first, then the charge, then the revo...

Hope I am wrong.
[LG Revolution] ThePheonixChameleon:
And the Revolution was how they were supposed to restore their bad image? This is a phone that went pretty much unmarketed, and was packed with middle of the road specs. There is seemingly no interest in this phone in the community or to the average consumer. Top that off with how god awfully buggy the phone still is, and the never ending wait for the "miracle" update.. I think LG has only kept in tune with whatever bad reputation they may of had.

But who knows? This phone probably hasn't hurt their image, cause nobody actually bought it or has even really heard about it.
[LG Revolution] holla420:
Damn I love this phone and lg disappoint me by not adding gb on this device.only 2things that bring this phone down..1.is the battery life which sucks but its OK and the 2nd is not knowing when gb or if it will ever come out for us
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
Middle of the road specs? Maybe as of right now but in May when this phone was released, those were definitely NOT middle of the road specs. This phone is virtually the same (spec wise) as the Thunderbolt, just with less RAM. This is phone is still considered a "high end" phone and for good reason. Before my Revo got stolen, I had never had one issue with it and I'm not having any issues with the one I currently have now. There are currently only 4 devices that have came out (and 1 about to come out) that beat this phone spec wise. Droid Charge, Thunderbolt, Bionic and the iPhone 4S. The other phone that will beat it is obviously the Galaxy Nexus. Other than that, no other Verizon phone beats this phone in specs, wait, let me add the Droid 3 just for the fact that it's dual core.

So let's see here:

Did I see commercials and advertisement for this phone? YES

Is it a high end phone with GREAT specs? YES

Is my phone "god awfully buggy?" NO

Will it be updated to either Gingerbread or ICS? YES

Ok so on my end, I've disproved every single one of your claims.
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
I second that. I have not had really any bugs on this phone at all. She is extremely fast with revolt. Battery life really isn't bad if you kept in it 3g or had a strong 4g signal.

I've Revolted have you?
[LG Revolution] vortmax:
The only 'major' bugginess that I've experienced is related to the radio (v4 stock & Revo1.4). 3G/4G transitions are not so good. 4G consistency isn't so hot either (specifically related to streaming), but that could be more related to signal strength and the consistency of Verizon's 4G in general.

With that said, I'm on Revo1.4. My sis-in-law is on v6 stock and is having all sorts of issues that she didn't have on v4. She wants me to downgrade and flash Revo1.5 after seeing mine... ;)
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
I have to agree with the other guy.

Marketing on the Revolution compared to the Thunder Bolt and Charge was almost non existent. If it does not have the DROID moniker then Verizon does not advertise it hardly at all (iPhone being the exception). I have seen 1 commercial for the Revolution and I have seen it 3 times since its May launch.

Honestly yes mid road specs... Less ram then the Thunder bolt and the charge has a better screen all other specs being equal puts the phone as middle of the road.

Buggy... yes the phone is buggy. While your phone was not... Verizon and LG forums say other wise with Verizon tech support actually acknowledging that problems with the phone are "Known issues" which qualifies the phone as buggy.

Yes your honor, despite having been video taped stabbing the victim, I say I was out of town at the time of the crime so I am innocent... I am going to go ahead and call an end to the trial... kthx... lul.. Unfortunately debating a topic does not work like this. You cannot call an end to a discussion just because you think you have it won.
[LG Revolution] ThePheonixChameleon:
I saw the same commercials.. they spent more time talking about netflix than they did the phone.

As for the specs.. what about this phone screams "high end" ? The camera that would have been average a year ago? The processor which was unspectacular at the time of release? Or are you basing it off LTE?

This phone is 4th best on Verizon according to you.. so that means what? Verizon is ****ty about getting good phones. They scrapped the SGS 2, according to them because they didn't feel it would compete with the iPhone. Really? Couldn't compete with what iPhone.. the iPhone 5 that won't be out for 9 months or the 4S which is inferior to the SGS 2 by about 8 months? They didn't want a competitor for the Bionic. The Bionic was six months late to be anything special.. all in all, there isn't a single groundbreaking phone on Verizon. If you look at T-mo and Sprint you'll see phones that Verizon generally won't pick up for six months because they don't need the bleeding edge phones Sprint and T-mo get to try and keep up with subscribers.

LTE is the only thing remotely high end about this phone and the more time I spend with LTE, the more I dislike it. I'm not the kind of idol that sits and watches a movie or streams tv episodes to the little ass screen on my phone. So the only benefit I get out of LTE is that webpages load a hair faster than 3G. Honestly that's not enough to be worth the headache of the ****ty battery life.

Maybe you've been luckier than I, but this phone chooses when it wants to reboot, refuses to save a live wallpaper after reboots, hangs on texting.. oh and the best of them all, has periods of hours at a time when it won't ring or show any signs of calls or texts, then you reboot it and have three voicemails, five missed calls and a dozen texts.

Maybe my frustrations are getting me to be a harsh critic, but I'm certainly no fan of finding out my mother went to the hospital 5 hours later after a reboot because the phone went into some ghost mode.

Just to add.. what you, thecubed and mtmichaelson have done for this phone is the only reason I haven't thrown it up on craigslist yet. This phone has such incredible support for, atleast for me, a less than incredible phone. So please don't take it as some sort of an indictment against those of you that have been so great to our community, cause that certainly isn't what my complaints are centered on.
[LG Revolution] KaneOfMars:
What sold me on this phone... I got my revo when there were only 3 choices for an lte phone (t_bolt, charge, and revo) the revo was the only one that could do VoLTE allowing me to talk and surf at the same time. I thought that was pretty big. And I'm still happy with my phone. (now i'm just drooling over the new nexus) :P

Sent from my Fused Revolt Bryce Device
[LG Revolution] ThePheonixChameleon:
It might have been the only one with VoLTE.. but the T-bolt could talk and surf at the same time over 3G.. so not a whole lot of difference there.

I don't know what I'm waiting for, maybe the Droid Razr.. maybe the Vigor.. but definitely no fan of the Nexus myself. I would have liked to see the SGS II on Verizon, but that was a pipedream.
[LG Revolution] spc_hicks09:
When did I say the conversation was over? All I said was that all of his claims were flat out wrong. As I said before, comparing to devices that are coming out now, yes this phone is mid level. When it came out, they were not. Yes this IS a high end phone.

Go to the Verizon Tech Support pages for ANY phone and you will find issues! So nice job Captain Obvious.
[LG Revolution] ThePheonixChameleon:
Again.. what is high end about the Revo? At the time of release it was behind both the Charge and the T-bolt.. and that's just on Verizon's network. In other words, it was the worst LTE phone on Verizon's network from the minute it came out; That doesn't scream high end to me.
[LG Revolution] Mr Frog:
It's still a 4g LTE device... Defiantly high end when it came out.
[LG Revolution] holla420:
I know that's rite
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Everyone stop this incessant fighting!!!!

EDIT: XDA turned my all caps post into sentence caps... That makes me angry... You won't like me when I'm angry!!!!
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
Well, I should've added that the store clerk gave me that information based on a visit his store had from LG Representatives. :-| It was stated that LG had a bad reputation for Smart Phones and LG wanted to present the Revo as a new image. Is it? I think it's up to those who bought it and like or dislike the phone. Personally, my best phones have been from LG. The Revolution is my first SmartPhone from LG and I have to say, it is 100 times better than my Motorola Droid 2 Global. I have yet to see any sudden reboots like all 3 of the Droids I had. I went through 3 of them in 7 months with various issues. I settled on the Revolution due to the snappiness it had in the store and the LG name I have come to trust as a solid working phone line.

The only real issue I ever have with my Revo is the annoying 'unknown device' in Windows that keeps haunting me when connected to my computer. The other issue, if I can say it is, is that low battery life. But, I was forewarned about that prior to purchasing, so I cannot ever complain about that.

My Revo is everything I need: Phone, Internet Service, Alarm Clock, GPS, etc. I wouldn't trade it for anything.. Except maybe a Revo 2. :)

-Cybie
[LG Revolution] ThePheonixChameleon:
Just because it has LTE doesn't make it high end. LTE is nothing more than a battery killer. I'm at the point I would rather NOT have LTE because it is so detrimental to battery life in the current phones.

When the Revo came out to Verizon, it was behind the T-bolt, Charge, Atrix, Sensation, G2X (which is also an LG phone might I add).. and that's just a short list of superior 4G phones on North American soil at the time of the Revo's release.

It was always a middle of the road phone and now it's on it's deathbed soon to get the End Of Life termination from Verizon because it's back of the pack. Sorry to burst your bubble, but this phone has never been anything special.
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
If I can find that page (and I believe it was on the Verizon Forums), I will post a link. The texts hanging aren't necessarily a Revo thing. In fact, the post stated that the hanging text (going out) are a known system wide issue with NON-Verizon recipients. I can text all day long with other Verizon phones without lag time or other issues. When I text other carriers, that's when the problems occur. Therefore, I no longer blame my phone for texts taking forever to go out after sending a few, or many that do during a conversation. Some might disagree on the system wide based on the fact that it 'can appear' to resolve itself by rebooting the phone, or switching to airplane mode and back. Personally, those don't always work. I consider this a Verizon issue and not a Revo issue. I have yet to try to switch to 3g only and see if that fixes the issue, but I don't notice it much when I am in a 3g only area. It may be a 4g system issue? We obviously know that there are 4g issues with Verizon (as in a couple days ago)...

Now, please note that I stated "Aren't Necessarily", therefore be nice on replies as this is only a opinionated statement based on personal experience and things I read on another forum.. :)

[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Hahaha... :D

Alright... I am done trying to explain. When it resorts to name calling there is clearly nothing more to say.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Well both off those phones have bugs too..and if you look at the specs other than having lte they aren't much better than the 3g phones released around the same time on verizons network besides the bionic the others weren't really much of an upgrade as far as hardware goes...and I don't see how you could compare it to anything rumored to come out soon this phone is 5 months old you will be saying the same thing 5 months street the release of the prime? Or the HTC whatever they decide to call it I will say vigor cause that's what I know it as..
[LG Revolution] ThePheonixChameleon:
I'm not comparing it to anything coming out firstly. Secondly, the T-bolt was the first LTE handset and it could talk and surf over 3G at the same time. The Charge came out next and had a better screen and better battery life. The LG came out and it had nothing extra to bring.. then came the Bionic with dual core and webtop technology. Are you seeing a trend here? In all the releases, a phone was making progress to the next step... EXCEPT the Revo.

The only reason I passed on the Charge for this thing was how god awful that phone was aesthetically. The only reason I passed on the T-bolt was my girl had it and I didn't want the same phone as her. The only reason I got the Revo was to lock in unlimited data, and to get LTE. I was hoping to pick up a D3, and then it came without LTE.. same story with the DX2.. then it was the SGS II, and that was axed.

So it would appear I'm still stuck on this thing for now. If the Droid Razr or the Vigor don't show any signs of improvement in battery life, then my next move is to offload this badboy for a D3. I'm just tired of always leaving my 4G phone in 3G mode because it's battery life is so ****ty otherwise.
[LG Revolution] ivalum21:
Can the children take their argument to another post? This one is about GB coming to the Revo....click back to the posts debating between the Revo and the TB earlier in the year. Your argument will fit in perfectly on a 6 month old post.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Have you tried an extended battery? I don't know, but 16+ hours of use is not "sh!tty" in this respondent's opinion.

GB coming to the Revo is going to be like turd smearing on what was supposed to be a chocolate cake when it comes out. ICS will be the status quo by the time GB hits our phones.

I don't fault the phone for that, I fault idiotic red tape and marketing strategies. Verizon in conjunction with LG (or whatever other company you want to name) will block the final update in order to sell newer phones. So much for Google's "unification." You can't have unification when the distributors are working against you for their own interests.

All this talk about "high end phones" is straight up BS. The Bionic did not turn out to be the savior of the mobile industry any more than the Atrix did for AT&T. It's just more turd sauce with your turd.

The fact is that the LG device is a solid built device (mechanically/aesthetically) for me simply because it's build like a tank and does what I need it to do. Most important to me is the ad-hoc wifi tether that doesn't require me to replay the infamous scene from deliverance with Verizon holding the shotgun.
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Unfortunately what will come, Gb or ICS, with be LG Homed, binged, and what ever else they can cram in there. Thanks Verizon...
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Yeah, that too, but I'm less worried about it, because I would suspect (or hope) that MT and Cubed will have it wiped out in no time.

Seriously? Gingerbread isn't even the newest anymore, and we still can't have it?! I'd expect to get ICS now much less not even have GB yet!
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Get used to it... Verizon does not care about you or your phone. I am not trying to be a ****, they got your monthly cash, and they got your money for your phone. You will get Gingerbread when they feel like giving it to you. ICS... I would not hold our breath for that, you are looking at 2 - 12 months before you would see ICS possibly never. Lets roll this one over real quick...

GB has been out for what 2yrs almost, and they still released the revo with 2.2

They could have just as easily released it with 2.3. Verizon just sucks when it comes to cutting edge. It is why I am in shock that the Galaxy Nexus is coming to Verizon. It is not like them... Stock phone with latest OS, no bloatware... Verizon loves bloatware... GACK!!!
