Its gone, todays radio made the phone even worse for me, always had a crap signal to begin with but it got almost unusable after the update, i was gonna get a charge but......the store said they have moved back the date to a TBA again, he also said they bionic has been cancelled, i was left with no option but to go back with the iphone, i almost went with a galaxy S, but ive had one of those upto getting my TB and didnt really wanna go back to something i had already had..
To sum it up, the TB is a great device that lacks the testing it required, it seems to have been rushed out with horrific battery life even with custom roms its still crap for heavy users, and poor signal..
Ill buy one again if they get there crap together and fix the obvious faults, but until Verizon releases a good dual core android im gonna have to stick with what i know.
Cool story, bro.
cool story bro, tell me again with subtitles.
I don't notice any change after the update
ThunderBolt isn't for everyone I guess. I love 4G and I can work with the small battery.

Yikess......not sure where you live, but I get fantastic 4 g everywhere in Chicago, have had 2-3 random reboots since I bought on day 1 (which could be less that the reboots on my Dinc), and get reasonable battery life, best phone I have yet to own.
Not to crap on your post , but I took my ip4 back because of bad service. My TB will hold service where the ip4 wouldn't. I will take service over battery anyday.

Interesting.... You took it back, after being rooted and applying the update (that's what your other post said) sounds like someone may have messed up...
I just had 4G turned on in my city (Sacramento) a few minutes ago.. I've had the phone for a while and it rocks!!!.. I am surprised you've had so many issues with your phone.

Yeah and at least you can change the battery when it dies.. You can't even do that with the iPhone, what a great "feature". Two batteries and a stand alone charger only cost $10 on eBay. Besides I get over a day of battery anyways. I think the real problem existed between the phone and the ground...
I've loved my TB since day 1 and have no problems with it other than a slow to find me GPS. I love this phone and would have to agree that the problems for many seems to be between the phone and the ground. Rooted with DasBAMF 1.6.3 FTW!

If this is true, sweet. I know that this doesn't replace the OEM battery but instead will plug into the USB Port instead. Or atleast I think. I know the mophey juice packs for iPhone work this way because its to hard to replace the battery and omg did it do wonders for that phone.

That's a sweet idea hopefully it doesn't interfere with the GPS like "thicker" batteries did on other devices.

It probably will in all honesty, but the great thing about it is, with this using the USB port to attach with, it will mean that removal will not cause your phone to shut off. If I remember correctly the EVO extended battery replaces the OEM battery and it hurt the GPS. So if you want to use GPS and the battery kills ur signal, pop it off and put it back on when you get there

Does the price increase flow down to resellers, like Radio Shack and Costco?
But far more importantly, will the HTC Sensation come out as a 199 phone, or a 249 phone. Hard to believe it would be anymore than 199.
IMO, the price increase is simply a way of pushing out G2X purchases out to the supply that is already in the distribution channel.

EM+ user, unsubsidized is still the same so it doesn't bother me one bit.
Well I'd rather the price go up because it is in such high demand then the price go down because it isn't popular.
My fiancee and I both got G2x's. Her's has been flawless with no modding required...18 hour battery life, no random reboots, instant lock GPS.
I've had to exchange mine once, and my current one has occasional random reboots and GPS doesn't lock for 10 minutes. Annoying, but I'm still happy with it..it pretty much flies otherwise, so I can't complain too much.
Guess I'm not that lucky. Had mine for a week and it's a mess. Battery life 4-6 hours. Random reboots 2-3 times a day. Battery gets super hot. Only thing I don't have is terrible screen bleed. I did get a good price though. $99 at Costco with a 30 day return which I will definitely do to get something else.

I messed with one at the mall today and to be honest, not impressed. The phone must be held at the precise angle for the effect to work. It's a gimmick. I'll take my LTE enabled thunderbolt over dual core, 3D, and Wimax (even with the awesomeness of their 1.5Mb upload cap) a n y d a y.

I wonder if there's any danger in breaking these things at such temperatures?
So, what's the hottest your phone has ever been?
I did a search before I posted this and over 80 different threads came up with "How hot does your phone get" but none of them seemed to have a poll... So I started this one.
Also, sorry for the type-o! 53°C should obviously be (127.5°F) instead of (27.5°F).

I also have a Galaxy S3 and mine gets pretty hot. Google3D maps plus GPS keeps it at an almost constant 46°C
46°C is about when I start getting concerned and the feeling is eye-wideningly uncomfortable.
Turn on GPS, WiFi, and play this to level 3 and then take a look at the Battery Mix temperature log.
racecondition in a rom plowed through battery...
Yep, that's hottening indeed.
Full battery to empty in 20 minutes. It happened more or less 30% when moving out of coverage of wifi.
Logs where filling in crazy speed with something in the lines of "couldn't set country...".
So 55C yeah... Easy.
