I spoke to my Verizon rep today and corporate sent out an email saying the HTC Thunderbolt will not be available till the end of March or 1st of April.

I'm as impatient as they come so this news is not welcoming for me.

Just thought I would share.
[Thunderbolt General] ramodil:
Wow that news really does suck as the motorola does sport a good bit more than the HTC. I like my incredible but you don't mention a phone as "coming soon" and then make people wait months for it and without some kind of update like "Hey, we know we said soon but we ran into X problem and have to delay it". I would rather see them trying for a release date and tell us what is going on instead of ignoring the htc fanbase.
[Thunderbolt General] martyotaku:
why is everyone thinking this is a better phone than the iphone 4? Iphone has better processor, about same gpu, better resolution, better battery life, more apps. And its 6 months old...and still wins.

I think if you want something with better SPECS than the iphone 4 get the Bionic/Atrix...even though i have the atrix and am very disapointed with it.

Specs are wayyyyyyyy overrated when theres no apps to take advantage of it.
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
If you like iPhone better there are forums for that, you should go join your fellow icrap lovers
[Thunderbolt General] superchilpil:
The way I see it is, I'm not going over to any iPhone forum and being like hey my incredible is better than your iPhone so u shouldn't do the same
[Thunderbolt General] ramodil:
The main thing for me is the fact it isn't locked down like the iphone is by crapple. I don't mind the computers, hell my second one is an apple, but the iphone is missing flash and the true ability for modders to create almost anything for it. At least with android I can come on and see all these people doing crazy things with the roms and even mix and match some of them for a truely unique experience. The Iphone also isn't really running much better hardware and what the iphone has been able to do the android has actually done better especially in the graphic department.

Former Iphone 4g owner, had one for 3 weeks and the issues caused it to have a quick demise by skeet shooting incident.

@superchilpil Easy bro relax take a deeeeep breath. lol ur funny

I find it annoying that I signed up for updates on the TB and have never received even one. Send me something! Anything! Thanks for waiting, have a nice day, it'll be worth the wait. Anything.

I'll apologize in advance in case this has already been brought up. Heaven forbid that could ever happen.
[Thunderbolt General] edward_g:
Ditto
[Thunderbolt General] pmdied:
I'm in no hurry. The development for my Incredible keeps getting better and better so my choice now would be to jump to a bigger phone. I got to play with a demo model at a nearby Verizon store and thought it was well designed. That said, I'd like to play with a working model before I jump ship.

I'm going to make a leap here, but I would guess that there will be a working Sense/Gingerbread rom out by then...

I hear you pm. My eris is also running....well.....incredible. I think I've pushed it as far as I need to and now I have become obsessed by going on with the TB. In a way I'd like to snap out if it.

i just talked to the best buy im my area,, he says they have no clue
[Thunderbolt General] chadstone30:
if i got an email from VZW with "thunderbolt" in the subject and it didn't have a release date in the body i would put my fist though the computer monitor. i don't want to hear a peep out of them until they have their act together.

also, if it's anything like the apple email d-list, you'll read about it on the blogs way before verizon pushes "send" on the announcement email. the ipad 2 was announced at 2:30 today and i didn't get the email about it from apple unitl 8:00 pm.
[Thunderbolt General] Keyboards:
No no no silly goose. The only reason you may THINK that the Iphone has a better processor is because iOS is optimized to be run by only the iPhone. Android has to be run by a huge number of phones with slide out keyboards and what not.
[Thunderbolt General] eagle17:
well this is a big loss to HTC as the bionic is now within reach and the lg and samsung will be not too far behind that.

I have decided not to get the thunderbolt now.. instead I bought a droidX to hold me over (nice set of mods) and i will be able to wait out till summer... even though I have two upgrades available...

As for the Iphone 4 not sure about the specs we will have to see what the real world tests show when the tb gets released however i think the tegra will mop the floor with the TB...

good look to all those loyal and waiting ... at least the good thing is that like the eris you should still get a good amount of time with modding...
[Thunderbolt General] chadstone30:
if they had succeeded in putting out the first lte phone they would have sold a ton of them. they still might. they went for it, and kind of muffed it, but they'll be ok i'm sure.

I have multiple lines on our family plan, I wanted to see about getting an early upgrade for one of my lines that isn't due until 12-29-11, phone was activated in 4-29-10. Customer service is saying no way on an upgrade since I have 9 months left. Did I read this thread correctly that it is possible to upgrade within a year of a 2 year agreement or did I read it wrong?
[Thunderbolt General] tazzpatriot:
Yes u can... I was told im due in may and I got my dx in july. But they are taken back my dx and given me a tb cuz of the issues in haven

[Thunderbolt General] edward_g:
Look at it this way. A year from now we will have had our thunderbolt for several months. At that time will we thankful that we patiently waited or will we be looking for the next great device. Or maybe we didn't wait at all. Maybe we went with another

device or carrier. Maybe an iphone.

I wonder where I will fit into this future scenario.

I am close to moving away from TB at this point. I'm just tired of not knowing.
[Thunderbolt General] Z51:
I'm waiting to jump ship from t-mobile to vzw... this is just pissing me off already. i have a nexus S and already have it sold and I cant collect cuz the damn TB isnt out... wtf is htc and vzw thinking? they are gonna lose a lot of potential customers because they have their head so far up their ass that they cant say a damn date!

Upgrade question

I just want to make sure about something...

I am eligible for an upgrade, as is my wife. she has & will continue to have a plain-old-feature phone. So, for instance, Could I upgrade to the T-bolt now, then transfer her upgrade and get a Bionic in July? If so, when I get the Bionic in July that would re-rest my contract to expire in July 2013.

Am I right about this? I'm not saying I'm going to go this route, I just want to figure out my options.

We have other upgrades coming down the line as well.
[Thunderbolt General] strongergravity:
What did Grandma always say: "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all".
[Thunderbolt General] strongergravity:
Thanks
[Thunderbolt General] zalez:
When did this happen? I used my upgrade on my secondary line to get my dinc and never activated it on that line. I activated it on my primary line.
[Thunderbolt General] contractkilla:
yea they can give you the upgrade through 1 line and activate it on another line but if for some reason they activated it on the line they upgraded with it would be stuck there for a month
[Thunderbolt General] Haxcid:
They transfer the upgrade to which ever line you want and lock the contract for 2yrs on the line the upgrade came from. In my case I upgraded my wifes phone and contract, took the upgrade for my moms phone and got myself a new phone and updated my moms contract for 2 years and left mine contract and upgrade available so I could use it when ever I wanted. My contract for my line has been up for renewal and phone upgrade since August 2009.
[Thunderbolt General] ksizzle9:
man, i cant wait for the thunderbolt 2, by the time they release this one it will be time for the bolt 2. buyw, im wasted.....holla ill be enjoying mf droid bionic hats already running hineyvomb.......not, i am wasted but what they the **** is taking so lo0ng already
[Thunderbolt General] CenFlo:
I honestly don't think that VZW is holding back the release date of this phone just to make their customers "hurry up and wait" I've heard all types of rumors from the iFone to battery life probs and/or new 4G data plan pricing, usage, etc.

Bottom line is there's a good reason it's being delayed and we'll eventually get it.
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
I'm confused ... when I log into my VZW account and see my two lines the one that is upgrade eligible says "transfer upgrade to another line" .... what happens if I transfer my upgrade to my other VZW account and get the new phone on that account? I guess I would be locking in my upgrade eligible account for another two years and just getting a new phone on the other line w/o changing that line's contract?

Thanks.
[Thunderbolt General] J2theMatt:
What about the thirty day wait? @walker wherevdi you get this info?

[Thunderbolt General] gemro311:
According to Droid Guy..battery life is the reason TB has been delayed ..5 hrs tops.. don't know if Skype is the reason. Not good.
[Thunderbolt General] eagle17:
this doesn't suprise me skype on the iphone 4 would take my battery down to 4-5 hours tops too... and when i went back ot my droid 1 it was the same... of course that is while logged into a moderatly busy chat room.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashtro:
any one have an issue with this phone when it comes to apps that require you to shake the device??

my screen rotates quick but when it comes to apps that use a shake function no such luck...noticed this with words with friends...my tiles constantly move instead of me shaking it to move them...tried another app (magic 8ball) to shake no movement...Running eb13 and genocide kernel rooted ext4 if that matters
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hybridsix:
I am having the same issue with the Words With Friends app. The letters constantly move around.

Maybe its some sort of accelerometer issue?

EDIT: I'm running stock EB13 2.2, updated with the update.zip file.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
ShootMe works just fine for me - I Odin'd directly to EB13, and have been running the under-development SyndicateROM Frozen (Lost Carrier edition ;)) and the ACS kernel team's kernel since.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MojoSwag:
The wwf tiles shaking happened to me at first after I updated to 2.2 I got it to stop by force stopping it and re-opening the app.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ms79723:
I had to do that horizontal calibration to kinda fix it. Idk whats up with that though...it was an issue on DK28 as well and someone brought that up on another website, they werent on the Epic so its not specific to the Epic. Idk whats going on with that shake crap. But its annoying. I have to place one tile on the board just so it'll stop and so i can actually look at what i got and make a move >.<
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hybridsix:
I have found a temporary workaround. If you do a horizontal calibration, like the above poster suggested, but, have the phone turned upside down (Screen touching the table) it seems to fix the problem.

I just held the phone down with the part of the screen with the "Calibrate" button hanging over the table so that I could still press it.

Could be related to the same bug that is affecting the compass pointing in the wrong direction.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmartinez2:
I second that. You have to do the calibration lag fix that ppl have posted a few times. Turn the phone on its screen and calibrate. That fixed the letter shaking for me.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashtro:
thanks for the input the upside down calibration def did the trick...to bad the shake thing cant be fixed but hey it is what it is..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cavalicious:
Going to manage applications and then force closing the app (WWF) while it was running stopped the constant tiles moving as well as giving me the ability to slightly shake the phone to move the tiles.

I am running stock everything on 2.2.1 Epic 4g

(thinking about rooting only to fix the LED notifications and battery pop-up, otherwise this phone is fast enough for me)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
The WWF tile issue is also caused by overclocking. Set all your speeds and voltages back to stock and it will act correctly.

how are you going to fix the LED notifications?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Aaron636r:

Same here with album art. Hopefully that will get fixed soon.

I just tried the headphones for the first time and my ear drums just got blown out. Very loud and I like it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] iamsupreme:
After you get album art with another app successfully, you need to go to Settings, Manage Apps, find the Music app and then Clear Data. These are off the top of my head instructions and can be cleaned up as I'm sure they aren't exact. Once you've cleared the data for the Music app, your newly downloaded album art should be present.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Aaron636r:
Worked perfectly. Thank you.

Hello,

I am organizing a team of developers to port sense to the Samsung Epic. Does anyone want to help???

Please Reply to this thread if you are interested. Once we get enough developers, we will discuss what ROM we should use as a base and start working on it.

Thanks

So far I have aamikam, who is a developer of MikFroyo for the Evo and am searching for 3-5 more people

Sense been done before numerous times and is nothing new.

I would love to see Sony X10 Rachel ui be ported or Acer Breeze ui port,both of these look and feel way better than Sense.
[Epic 4G General] bigdbag:
Sense isn't very useful, what with Launcher Pro and ADW.EX bringing most useful features already from Sense.

I'd rather see devs work more on AOSP roms like MIUI and Cyanogen6/7.
[Epic 4G General] gokuman56:
Well, So far I've gotten 2 more people to volunteer, and hopefully, tommorrow, we will be able to discuss the plans for porting sense. :D

For those who don't want sense, no problem, you will at least have another ROM for the epic to try.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
Dont forget Go Launcher I find it faster and better than Adw and Pro,not to many people know about it,and it has built in task killer.
[Epic 4G General] lviv73:
We always welcome another rom but why not port something thats never been done before like X10 Rachel or Acer Breeze?

They both look better,have better effects,faster and have more functionality.That would be something that would make our Epic's unique and make them stand out,isnt there enough htc related things already?
[Epic 4G General] crazaytalent:
Sheesh... he wants to do a sense rom... if u really want something else... get motivated and organize your own team, start a bounty, or make a request... and make it happen... why r you working so hard to get him to change his mind for your sake?

Hey guys I've just recently upgraded from an Eris to a moto droid and i've ran many different roms on it and for some strange reason I can't seem to get my text messages to come thru so I've been using. Does anyone have that problem or any ideas on how to fix it
[EVO Shift 4G General] randomrobbi:
I am on my 4th Epic. The manager at my local sprint store told me that he would either swap my Epic out for an Evo or an EVO Shift and would let me keep my 16 gig memory card to make up the price difference that I paid.

I have been leaning towards the shift, just because it is a newer device.

Coming from the Epic, my main concern is battery life. I can live without the FFC on the Epic and Evo so that is not really a concern.

My one huge concern with either phone, is that I have never liked the HTC Sense Experience. I had previously owned a Hero for almost a month and an EVO previously for a week.

I am familiar with rooting / and running custom roms now as well.

Which leads into my questioning onto how big the dev community is on the shift.

I have ran pretty much every ROM for my epic, and have loved a few.

I am probably just rambling on here. I just am tired of waiting for an official release for 2.2 for the Epic which doesnt get pulled 2 days later and as well the epic has a million quirks that I dont like.

Like the default camera app not rotating the viewfinder. Or the battery constantly dying due to the screen, even when it is on lowest brightness. To its spotty GPS performance, and rotation lag that keeps coming back.

I am thinking I would rather have the shift, due to the good things I have heard about the battery life on it thanks to the newer processor but I dont know.

Any advice?
