[Thunderbolt General] distortedloop:
My biggest complaint I didn't even notice until this morning when I turned on the Thunderbolt side-by-side with my Nexus S in a dark room. It really drives home how horrible the blacks on LCD screens are, especially in the dark. The SAMOLED screen on the Nexus S has inky blacks that really are black, the Thunderbolt has these brightly glowing grayish blacks that are just an eye-sore by comparison. In the daylight and well-lit rooms yesterday, not an issue. This will probably be the toughest thing for me to adapt to after a year of Nexus 1, Galaxy S, and Nexus S usage and their fantastic contrast screens.

Agreed on the bloatware. I can't believe how cluttered my app drawer is with crapware I'll never even open.

Re: battery, I've taken to just carrying a spare in my pocket for my other phones and will do the same with this one.

I test drove an EVO when it first came out. Screen separated in exactly 13 days. Major light leakage from it. I might have exchanged it for another, except here in Los Angeles the Sprint 3G service was sooooo poor that it was worse than EDGE on my AT&T and T-Mobile phones. WiMax wasn't deployed so the phone was almost useless when off of WiFi for any kind of browsing. LTE seems a much more promising service than WiMax anyways.

I have some spare batteries from my EVO, I wonder if they'll fit/work in the TB. They looked similar from what I remember.
[Thunderbolt General] thaJack:
You can't use the FM Radio app on the DroidX without them, either. The reason is because it uses the wires as an antenna. You probably wouldn't get any reception without them anyway.

No doubt. CityID is horrible and naggy. Didn't like it on my DroidX, either.

As a matter of principle, I will never pay a single dime for an application that is preinstalled and cannot be removed without rooting.

Bluetooth volume suck for anyone else? I'm using jawbone icon and its all the way up but sucks
[Thunderbolt General] thaJack:
I most definitely prefer side to bottom, BUT... it should have been on the OTHER side.
[Thunderbolt General] luckman212:
easter egg: CityID allows itself to be uninstalled (yes, without root) if you open it up and cancel your "15 day trial" at the end of the process you'll be given an option to completely delete the app. Nice.

still need root to clean out the rest of THIS CRAP:

Tunewiki

Quickoffice

Bitbop

Blockbuster

Lets Golf 2

Peep

V CAST EVERYTHING

VZ NAVIGATOR
[Thunderbolt General] chimpsnest:
I did the same and uninstalled it. I can understand, sort of, why they don't want you uninstalling SOME things, but to lock down things like Peep, Let's Golf, etc., etc., drives me crazy.

Can't wait for perma-root :p
[Thunderbolt General] thaJack:
RE: CityID

If you read what it says (you can then confirm this in the Applications Settings screen) it only removes the Icon, it does not actually uninstall CityID. You'll still need root to do that.

The screen is just about enough to turn me off from this phone when comparing it to a SAMOLED. Don't even try to look at your phone in daylight. Forget about it.

According to an HTC rep I talked with yet you can use the wireless DLNA server to connect to your TV rather than HDMI. Of course your TV or other device has to be equipped to recognize the signal!

If its .rar file you have to extract it first. I use astro file manager for that or androzip, both free in the market.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrb123:
hello,

i have been so fed up with sprint lately and their worthless 4G and 3G which consistently gets me about 300kbps (not a typo) down on a good day.

sprint customer service is useless at all levels, and the people in their stores are no better. posting this from my evo since im using the thunderbolt sparingly until i get a case for it.

my initial LTE speedtest shows 6,000kbps down and 20,000kbps up with a ping of 120ms. sure, it'll become saturated eventually, but i look forward to being a Verizon customer.

i had been under the impression verizon was expensive, but it was cheaper than i thought, only $80 plus tax and fees with 450 minutes, 500 texts, and unlimited data.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imex99:
Have the EVO & TB right now. Trying to decide if I want to keep the TB or not..... Loving the Verizon coverage(so much better than Sprint in Central, Ohio) and LTE is much stronger and wide spread in Central Ohio.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doublehoya:
Me too. Been with Sprint for over 10 years and had the Evo since launch day. Love Sprint and the Evo, and plan to keep them both. I thought I'd dip my toe in the Verizon pool (I'm eventually going to have to get my wife an iPhone since she has not taken to the Evo like I'd hoped she would. Foolish woman.) and the TB seemed like a good way to do it. It's a pretty sweet device. LTE puts Wimax to shame... Can't wait to get it rooted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michael.gome:
The issue I'm having is having no sort of calling service on the Evo.

I rooted the phone, changed settings and even put a new rom on the phone. I'm using MikFroyo 4.5, by the way. I can get data, and from what I can tell it's 3G because I can use the browser, but when I try to call 611, and *228, I can't get anything. It just says that the network is busy.

I don't really know what I'm doing because I just started all of this today. Could someone give me some help? If all I need to do is search, just kindly give me some keywords and I"ll be on my way. Thank you very much! :)

I've been having an issue getting Thumb Keyboard working with Calkulin's G-Tab ROM. I've tried moving the .apk to system/app with rootexplorer and changing the permissions of it to rw-r-r, but I'm not sure if there's an order I should be following in order to get it installed correctly.

Does anyone have any insight into how to get a keyboard set up with Calkulin's G-Tab ROM? They show up in the settings, but clicking the checkbox and agreeing to the popup doesn't check the box, it remains unchecked and the keyboard cannot be selected as an input method.

Any help would be appreciated.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revned911:
I have done the same thing, trying to get Swype to work after installing the beta from the swype website. It actually worked swyping 2 words, and then stopped. I am still able to type like a normal keyboard. Moved from data/apps to system/apps - permissions were already changed. Enabled in settings, and then rest the tab. Thoughts?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprdtyf350:
Simplest way to get a keyboard working in any version of TnT is to go ahead and install the keyboard and then run the the settings replace, and rollback files located here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9532446&postcount=1

You can install the keyboard from the Market, an apk, whatever. To select it you install the settings replace file from clockwork, then boot your tablet and go to settings, language and keyboard, and select the keyboard. After that go back and run the rollback file in clockwork and your TnT settings menu will be back. You need to put the TnT settings menu back or some widgets and other stuff won't work.

It only takes about 1 minute to do this and it works great.. And whenever I say best way... It means best way for me... I'm pretty sure someone will be by to tell me there way is better.. Happens every time:)

hope it works for you like it did for me
[HTC Inspire 4G] theorioles33:
Damn! I really want to try this but I cant write to my system directory. It wont mount R/W.

Also, you say there should be 2 files but there is only 1 in the zip file.
[HTC Inspire 4G] grumpy.medic:
Trying this now...
[HTC Inspire 4G] qbills314:
You have to open it on phone to see both files
[HTC Inspire 4G] qbills314:
Are you using root explorer
[HTC Inspire 4G] theorioles33:
Yes. Says "hw permissions cannot be changed because the file system is read-only".

Also, when I extract it on the phone there is only 1 file. gps.spade.so.
[HTC Inspire 4G] qbills314:
Do you see the mount rw button at top and did you extract files first
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
What exactly does this do?

reflash your radio? It worked for me to get the gps icon back but as I'm in the house I don't know if it works to get me lock yet
[HTC Inspire 4G] qbills314:
yeah i know sometimes it does i just tried it again and it took awhile but for the most part it locks in about 2min or less where as before it wouldnt lock at all but i know what u r saying about the 20min
[HTC Inspire 4G] palletguru:
Ill try that when I get back to my computer. Also, has anyone tried a reboot after applying this file? I had to reinstall maps since navigation wouldn't open.
[HTC Inspire 4G] qbills314:
did u try reboot or clearing map data

[HTC Inspire 4G] qbills314:
what radio are you using
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
Can someone give me a brief step-by-step? I'm in root explorer, but the only file in the .zip is gps.spade.so
[HTC Inspire 4G] qbills314:
extract it then go to folder called extracted
[HTC Inspire 4G] magnumforce2006:
I did this. The extracted folder shows up in extracted exactly is it would be on the root of the phone (system/lib/hw), but the single file remains in hw, nothing other than gps.spade.so.
[HTC Inspire 4G] johnbibbs:
I can only find the one file once it's extracted, am I missing something??
[HTC Inspire 4G] OtakuGangsta:
Same & mine still doesn't pick up anything
[HTC Inspire 4G] ShockTherapy:
...this worked ever so briefly.

8/10 satellites on GPSfix, google nav working properly, no more geolocation errors from beautiful widgets...

then i rebooted. navigation app goes MIA, gpsfix tells me GPS is disabled, etc etc...

restore the original gps.spade.so file, reboot, nav is back, and gpsfix works normally, and wont lock on to anything, so i'm back to square one.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctai320:
So i've had my Nexus S for a little over a month now, and this morning when I woke up, the phone doesn't vibrate at all anymore. It shouldn't just be a setting because I've rebooted, played with the haptic feedbacks, played with the alarm, etc etc. Nothing works.

Has anyone else had this problem? Did the vibration on my phone just die? I've searched through XDA, and some people have had vibration issues, but only when receiving sms.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctai320:
So I haven't wiped yet because I was working all day but the vibrating came back on it's own for a while. Then it stopped again and now it's back again. Is this a bug? I will wipe this weekend to see it it will fix it completely.

Also, I've checked the settings and ok pretty sure it's set to always vibrate.

All:

Thought I should alert everyone:

I purchased a Barely There case in Mirrored Silver for my HTC Desire HD. While I love the case and the look as well as the design and quality I have discovered a problem. The case blocks GPS signals to the phone! It seems fairly clear the case is the problem. I have tried the same test with several different applications (Google Maps, Compass, HTC Locations, etc...). With the case on, the phone cannot get a GPS lock. Take the case off and it locks on in a few seconds. Put the case back on and it loses it's lock.

I have contacted Case Mate about this issue. I will update this thread with what they tell me!
[Desire HD Accessories] in4ra:
Funnily enough, I had the very same problem with the Case-Mate Pop. I'm hearing other cases are capable of interfering with the GPS, so it's not Case-Mate products specifically.

Here's what my Case-Mate Pop is doing to my DHD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVh96ffr6z0

I complained to Case-Mate and they just shipped me two different cases free of charge: The Barely There and the Case-Mate Tough. They didn't ask me to ship the Pop back to them. In any event, it looks like I'll have to live with some sort of GPS issue if I want to use any of these cases. Perhaps I'll do a comparison video when I receive the cases.
[Desire HD Accessories] gflare:
I wish I had seen a thread like this before buying the barely there mirrored silver case from Casemate last week.

I can also confirm that the case destroys my GPS signal. How did you go about contacting them and getting a replacement case?
