Taking the risk of GB radiofor the sake of science.

Just talked to a friend from vzw, he told me that if something happened he will hook me up with a replacement for my tbolt.
I've been using gb radio since the 1st day it was leaked, i have no problems on my phone, just some random FCs but that's given.
Since we don't have a solid demographics on how many people got bricked, Im going to take the risk and see if i get bricked.
This morning i just got into a bootloop but looks like its just the battery giving false stats. Its been more than 6 hours now in my external charger and i assume battery doesn't hold charge anymore, Im going tommorow to vzw to have it replaced.
Question is, will logcat be enough to monitor my phone in case i got bricked so i can pull some important data regarding how it happen?, that way we can find a clue on how to fix a radio-bricked tbolt.

Have you cleared battery stats under cwr advanced?

Wow. Very cool that you're willing to do this. Looking forward to seeing what you find out.

From what I've read, that's not possible as the bootloop happens even booting into recovery.

kudos to you. I would not do it. Thats a 600 dollar risk you are taking there.

Yes i have cleared my battery stats. My previous battery is now dead. I think i discharged it too much, now its not holding any charge. My phone still runs on gb bamf and loving my lockscreen. Will let you know if i get bricked.

Lol you obviously didn't read his post. No risk involved.

I hope someone could shed a light to my questions.
1st. How does the radio firmware work on our phone? Does it work like a driver where it acts a mediator between the roms(software) to the phone's hardware.
2nd. What are the possible trigger to recreate the bootloop of death? There are some cases that my phone overheats because of non responsive apps and ever since i flashed on GB rom there i times i can feel my phone hot, which could be the case from some of the boot loop victim that they fried something inside their phone.
3rd. What are the chances that same bootloop of death could also occur in froyo radio? Just because vzw officially released the radio doesn't mean it has same risk like the leaked GB radio. It is like how HTC manufactured the phone, they tested most of it but some are still lemons.
Everything is in theory right now, there are no fix because it happens in random and the reason is still unknown. I'd choose to participate for the fix instead of waiting for someone to figure out the fix. We all do take a bold step in rooting our phone, flashing different roms, putting our faith on the battery that it wouldn't fail during the flashing process. Once we modified our phone from its stock settings we acknowledge the risk, and that risk is the one of the few factors the fuels the development of the rom/kernel community.
I've noticed several repacks of the GB radio:

Im keeping a close watch on my temp running on "extreme settings" 1.4ghz extremely undervolt.
SetCPU profile set to minimum setting when temp goes more than 97F

I just called verizon 611. My phone is not bricked and still functioning properly, but i told the operator that my phone constantly reboots( I pretended that my phone was bricked), i was passed to higher level tier support and they said they will be sending a new phone to me and there will be an extra envelop where i need to put my old phone to return to them. The call only took me 10-15 minutes and I believe VZW is aware that Tbolt has this issue even if its GB or the stock froyo rom.

i reverted back last night but i will def be back once things are more stable.. i already miss it

Reboots still after OTA Update

This is for stock unrooted peeps.
Anyone that has had reboot problems on their thunderbolts, still experiencing them after updating?
Wife's tbolt starting rebooting a couple times a day about a week ago. Did the update friday night and has rebooted twice since then. Thinking it might be hardware related if others have had their reboots fixed.
Probably going to call verizon next time it does this to try and get a replacement.

I've had only one that I've noticed so far, but that makes it less than the 3-4 daily I noticed with the most recent leak prior (mr2.5 thingee)

No reboots for me since the update. Of course Verzion only claimed this OTA would reduce the number of reboots not do away with them. I hope for you that they don't try to pull then when you ask for a new unit.

Start over from scratch do an app backup...uninstall all apps restart phone try favorite app first give couple hours or a day. slowly put apps back on right down time and date each app installed .doing this is a p.i.t.a .....some apps dont play nicely with others ...plus you dont want a p.o.s.reman phone....anyways this might take a couple of days.....sometimes verizon wont shoot from the hip and just replace .. reason i say this for a while 1st thing they do is hard reset phone and start over ...more or less have to prove problem make sure everytime u call have them note the account....lets see 10 imagios 6 collasped buttons 4 bluetooth failures .....fun fun...nothings easy with verizon
Look at it this way you could be stuck with a really start over flashing firmware with a windows phone cause hard reset sucks [email protected]#$

same story -- i'm still getting them occasionally but not as often. I was all excited about the update, but a few hours after it installed I was browsing the web and - bam - reboot. It's like a slap in the face. I've also been having a serious problem with my TB just discharging itself overnight... while plugged into the wall charger. I wake up and it has a completely dead battery which is a major PITA, doubly so because I use it as my alarm clock.

My TB has been up since the update on Friday. It used to reboot multiple times a day. Hope this lasts for me.
I'm stock and unrooted.

I have never had a reboot and I have been rooted since a week after owning the TBolt... I guess just lucky

Haven't had a reboot since memorial day weekend.

Never had a reboot before or after the update....I just bought my Tbolt two weeks ago, maybe they corrected the rebooting issues with the current hardware?? I mean if users are still rebooting after the update maybe its not software...

I've been really really lucky here I guess. I bought my Thunderbolt about a week after it came out and have had maybe 3-4 reboots since then. I have gone through a few roms/kernals/radios but never any issues. It must just be a hit/miss thing with hardware to be honest. Either that or the network, I'm in West Lafayette maybe our network is just far superior
The only gripe I have had is shutdowns, which IMO are more annoying because I can't just turn it back on, I have to pull the battery and wait a couple minutes before putting it back in and then waiting another minute before it responds to the power button to turn it back on again.
All in all I am happy with it compared to all others complaints on reboots. I would rather have a small number of reboots/shutdowns than a refurbished phone with possibly more issues.

I've been rebooting still like CRAZY. Before and after the update. I got on Verizon and received my phone on Thursday. It was rebooting over and over and over... I noticed it happened if I left wifi coverage at work or home. Even after the update, same thing! Rebooting over and over like no tomorrow.
I noticed that with LTE on it would loose connectivity all together until I manually rebooted. If I was on Edge or 3G it would stay up longer. I have since then turned off LTE and it has been fine, but still reboots every few hours.

I have had 1 reboot after having mine for over a month or so now. Been rooted since day 1 and have changed radios multiple times along with ROMs/Kernels. I guess we are both lucky?

Never once had a reboot. Custom rom since day one though. Stock sucks.
On a helpful side though. Always best to do a hard reset after a update. I know its a pain but it is the best solution normally.

No DATA!!!

All day i have not had data. It all started this morning when i tried to start barnacle to tether with the laptop. and as soon as i clicked start the data dropped and hasnt been back on ever since. I dont know if thats related but i figured id mention it considering ive used barnacle several times over the past week.
Im running GummyCharged GBE RC 2.3
Have been running it perfectly fine for about two weeks i think.
Any help would be appreciated. i talked to verizon and went through all their BS troubleshooting techniques.
BTW i have also tried wiping the phone and odin'd a fresh copy of GC FE 1.9.1 and still no data and then back to the GBE and once again still no data.

Happened to me, but on Gummy 2.0. After reflashing the EP1Q modems to no avail, I restored to stock. Went to Verizon today, guy looks at all the settings, everything was how it should be. All of a sudden data pops up and started working. So phones are like cars, take it to get fixed and the issue stops.
I'd suggest messing/toggling all the data settings on the phone and see if it will pop up. I wish I knew a solution, but it fixe itself.

Ditto. Have been dropping data all afternoon.

well if i dont have any tomorrow ill flash stock and take it to vzw

No issues with data here.

Tell me about it. Data drops, gps and bluetooth are dodgy, hdmi doesn't work, missing text messages (due to data drops), random restarts. I think I'm going to attempt to pull a fascinate and get the bionic when, er, if it's released.

im not having a data dropping issue. i havent had data AT ALL for 12 hours now

Great so it's not just me, I thought my phone's wifi/data was acting up after turning off wifi tether. The wifi would be on but data would run at the same time, was really odd and heated up my phone until i rebooted it

Been having data issues all day and I use no tethering app. Running humble 1.42. Now I can just get 3g even though I always get 4g at home. Network issues?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

I run the eclipse rom, and have not had data since at least 6:30 of the 30th...I however took my 4g card out of my charge and put it in my thunderbolt and have had no issues getting any sort of data at all...... well thats funny. Data just came back to my charge just now (i had just put the card back in 10 minutes ago to see if the issue was resolved). do people still have data issues on the charge?

Happened to me running full stock not rooted. Took it to verizon and they changed the sim card. Works fine now. Maybe that's the same problem you are having. I couldn't connect to 3g or 4g. Only wifi
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

I've had my charge since August and haven't had any issue with it since day 1 (that's because i rooted it day1). On occasion i would have issues after being on wifi all day or something, but a simple reboot or toggle of Cdma/LTE button would fix it but Saturday I experience a complete data outage. What was odd is that i could get 4g when driving on the highway but in non 4g areas i had zero data. Full signal just no 3G or 1x icon. I re-rooted using the new modem EP1W no luck...24 hours and i had nothing. Finally i went online and switched my phone back to my old droid....then back to my charge. After 30min i had data back. The new ROM was working Excellent (blackhat EP1W debloated) then today...same issue is back.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue or what is causing it? is it my sim card?

I've been through 3 replacements and 4 sim cards, even ran my phone in safe mode for 3 days and had constant loss of data.

Are you by chance using wifi tether 3.1? If so uninstall and use 3.0 pre 12. I had the same issue till i downgrade to 3.0 pre12. select fascinate then master tap in settings. No issues at all any more. i can turn on and off wifi tethering without having to reboot after everytime i use or get done using the app.

No Data here...
This thread is a little old, but has anyone found out why this is happening? I have my Charge rooted running GummyCharge 2.0 FE and on Oct 6 lost all data. I ended up switching back to stock and took it to Verizon for a new SIM and it has worked since. Until last night. Both mine and my husband's lost data. Mine came back this morning but he still has none but has gotten some 4G randomly. His is also rooted... Really would prefer to avoid doing the same to his... took hours to get mine just right again... Also, we got ours back in June. From what I read we seem to be lucky ours lasted...

You gotta remember what they say about the vocal minority. People who are happy aren't going to be nearly as apt to post about their good experiences as those who have bad experiences are to post about theirs. I admit to being as guilty of this as anyone. I think if you took a scientific poll (as opposed to a self-selected one), you'd see that 99.9% of people who root or flash have had no data issues related to it, and the only reason the number seems high in here is that you're only seeing people who had problems try to figure them out, rather than those of us who haven't had any trouble and don't have anything constructive to add to the discussion.
EDIT: The fact that you both lost data at the same time points to a network issue, not a rom issue.

it took me about 4 months to burn out my original sim, just replaced it a few days ago

Both my fassy and my DC have been dropping data since yesterday. My DC starts out with 4G then to 3G then 1X and then no data at all.

Battery life worse since 2.11.605.5

Am I the only one who's got worse battery life since the update?
I keep my brightness set low, bluetooth and GPS are off. My mail and Twitter are set to update manually. Weather updates every four hours, and I use only a few widgets (the weather clock and a few that toggle settings). I've got a solid LTE signal.
Before the update (and even after the 2.11.605.3 Gingerbread update that I'd got before Verizon and HTC pulled it), I could take my phone off the charger when I woke up, use it moderately, and still be in the green when I'd put it back on the charger at bed time. If I used it a bit more, maybe I'd be in the yellow, but I'd never had a problem going 18 hours or so on a single full charge.
Since the update, though, my phone can't get through a day without recharging in the middle. Even if I don't use it. Just sitting on my desk, untouched, I'm losing about 11% an hour.

Chances are the phone will re adjust through battery cycles. Also there are power saving options now if you go to the power setting. The efficiency setting works very well. Other than that I would wait a little longer before going about any tinkering.

And one more thing. You don't have a task manager do you? If so get rid of it. Android is incredibly efficient on managing its ram and tasks.

LTE? You're running 4G all the time? I wouldn't make it past late afternoon if I didn't toggle the LTE off most of the time and use CMDA (3G).

I'm stock and also having horrible battery life since the last update. Like 5 hours worth of battery with little use before I'm in the yellow. I'm giving up on 4G and switching over to 3G for good... maybe that will last longer as it did in the past
I'm tempted to do a factory reset

If my assumption is wrong on your knowledge of factory resets, i apologize and i'm not trying to insult your knowledge of these phones. That being said, factory reset won't allow you to revert to pre 605.5 software, as it just wipes the data completely and you stay on the same 605.5 you are on. If you are rooted already, make a backup and flash back an older release of the software that you are happy with. If you aren't rooted, now is a good time and then to revert back to past software haha

Hmm..sounds like someone should get an extended battery.I have one and never had a problem before or after gb.

Insult not taken... I'm well aware of what a factory reset is. And I don't care to root - been rooted before. Battery was much better before... so I figure its probably an app causing the drain - not playing nice with the update. A reset could remedy that.

I'm with mdeblaz. Getting through the day on the stock battery hasn't been an issue until the update. And I'll buy a new phone before I buy a ginormous battery for this one. I've had a couple of HTC phones now, and the Thunderbolt has been the most problematic for me. Maybe I'll sell it back to Verizon and get the Rezound. If the battery issue doesn't clear up on it's own, it's either going to be new phone or (for the first time since I started using Android phones) flashing a new ROM.
Anyone know a good Gingerbread ROM for the Thunderbolt that has Sense 3? I know I'm a minority, but I keep buying HTC phones because I actually like Sense.

Some advice for noobs. Read read read. Do your homework. Read through the guides and walkthroughs on this forum (mainly in the development section). Learn now to root and learn how to recover BEFORE attempting to mod your phone in any way. Learn how to setup and use ADB.

Going root is probably the only way to fix the thunderbolts stock problems.
I have had mine rooted since it was rootable and I have been loving my phone. I also use the stock battery and can get over 18 hours daily with wifi on at all times, lte and GPS when I'm not home. Those are the wonders of custom kernals and setcpu . I run AOSP but I have ran sense and Bamf forever is definitely the way to go for sense.

Issues with 2.2 update

Let me start off by saying this is my first Android phone that I've used that I actually haven't cared to root (and I started with a Nexus One).
I updated to 2.2 that ATT pushed out last week and while some things have proved, some things seem much worse.
1. Poorer battery life (drains much faster. Had 34% deplete in 3 hours and hardly used my phone)
2. Runs hot! For no apparent reason, my phone will get quite warm under the camera and the phone is simply just in my pocket getting e-mail or push notifications. Nothing crazy and no reason to get so hot (I can feel the heat through my jeans).
3. Multitasking is better but still sucks.
Anyone else having similar issues after updating?

Exact opposite on my device. Take it back to ATT, have them replace it (and tell them you don't want one with the 2.2 update) and then root, unlock, and ROM it.

I'm sorry, mate, but I think your device might have some issues. This update actually made my phone much better.

Nope. My 2.2 update has really made this phone stellar. Though, I'm taking it back so I can root/unlock/rom. Since Cleanrom is based off the official release, I'll be going that rout.
Multitasking actually works, signal/clarity is quite a bit better, and my battery life is at least twice as good as it was before the update.
Methinks you need a factory reset.

Yep, I was having the same exact issues along with it never shutting up about wi-fi being available even though I told it not to tell me. Ended up resetting the phone to factory and it runs like a champ now.

I am constantly getting the wifi networks are available notification after the update, which I never got before. Quite a nuisance.

+1 to the Factory Reset. Many times this will clear up the problems that start happening right after an update.

It's easier and faster to go into the battery stats and see which app is misbehaving than it is to post on the forum here.

Let me start off by saying this is my first Android phone that I've used that I actually haven't cared to root (and I started with a Nexus One).
I updated to 2.2 that ATT pushed out last week and while some things have proved, some things seem much worse.
1. Poorer battery life (drains much faster. Had 34% deplete in 3 hours and hardly used my phone)
2. Runs hot! For no apparent reason, my phone will get quite warm under the camera and the phone is simply just in my pocket getting e-mail or push notifications. Nothing crazy and no reason to get so hot (I can feel the heat through my jeans).
3. Multitasking is better but still sucks.
Anyone else having similar issues after updating?

I'm having the same issue. Before the update I could go all day and have 35-50% battery left depending on usage. I updated to 2.20 before going on vacation. I don't have LTE at home but where I went on vacation was LTE areas. Battery drain was 10%+ an hour. I assumed it was LTE using more power. But everything I read said that LTE wasn't that bad. Only way I could stop the drain was to put in airplane mode. I got home Friday and drain is just as bad at home.
Anyway, I'm glad I found this thread.
I don't mind doing a factory reset if it solves the problem. Question is, does it solve the issue?
Thanks.

I will have to agree with some of you and say that the update was a big improvement on a great phone! I also think that when doing an OTA update the results are going to be hit or miss. The OTA worked great for me but I installed it on top of a new, clean and unmolested copy of 1.85. I'm willing to bet that just about everyone with new issues after doing the OTA will see an improvement after doing a factory reset. Having said that I personally would not waste time doing a factory reset, I would suggest flashing the ruu. If you're going to wipe your phone might as well get the best possible outcome for your time.
