Just got my thunderbolt a few days ago. I haven't had the chance to root just yet. Too many days at work.
I had a bad problem with resetting on my EVO... I'd like to make sure this doesn't turn into round 2.
Its been sluggish on and off all day. Lagging through my texts messages while I am tethered to my laptop on LTE. It reset on me eariler while I was tethered. Did I overheat this thing?
Any input? Or where to look/start troubleshooting I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
Sounds weird. I haven't had any problems with mine.
Maybe a defective device? I have no idea.

Hmm another odd thing it does, is during a phone call the top part of the screen around the status bar kind of gets a greenish tint during the phone call if the person I am talking to doesn't have a picture. Is that the updated sense doing that? My Evo never did it. I'm gonna try and stress it again... I couldn't get it to swype properly, it would end the word before the I finished swyping it.
I hope I don't have a defective device

Yeah, the green tint is normal, but I don't know about the rest.
Maybe you might wanna take a trip to Verizon and ask them.

Might have to. Kinda wish I would have bought instore now. I'd imagine that would make potential swapping much easier!
This phone is awesome. I personally dont like waiting for devs to finish ROm/Kernals so i will be trying to bulid my own. Verizon / HTC have so many bloated items in this phone its unreal. Just debloating the phone makes it run faster via quadrant, overclocking it to around 1.4 to 1.5 is the most economical and i beleive most are able to do it with the required stock voltage (minues a little) and i get about 2200 on my 1.4ghz Senseless Virus ROM. Anyhow. The only thingthat gets to me is the lack of installed apps. Otherwise its freaking fast.
me and 9 other co-workers all got the thunderbolt the day it came out. two of us had horrific battery life and some lagging issues as well. i just wiped data and cache and seemed to fix it right up. you can give that a go or just root it and play around with all the kernels!!!!!!!! lol i can't go more than a few hours without flashing a new kernel...so addicting!!!!
Even before I rooted and debloated mine I never had even the slightest lag. I would recommend trying to get it exchanged. It shouldn't lag at all unless you have some kind of huge app constantly sucking CPU and RAM in the background.

Yea, I am getting force closes in the stock default text message app. Only apps I have installed are dolphin browser mini, swype, tweetdeck.
While in my 4g area yesterday during tether I had a few periods where the 4g would connect on and off for a few minutes before it solidified itself..
Do I have a dud? Or should I root it and see if these problems continue? Since I bought it from Letstalk.com, Would they even let me exchange it at a Verizon store?
Sounds like a dud. Just take a trip to Verizon and see what try can do.

After getting adjusted to the battery issue and the non-availability of some of the apps that I had on my iphone, I think I have convinced myself to keep the Infuse (still within my 30 day window).
Today I got an added bonus. Usually, when I switch phones, once the switch is completed, the phone is turned off and put away. Never to be seen again. I turned the iphone on today to access my contacts and started to get alerts. The phone is still connected to my wifi so I can still use all the installed apps, itunes and the apps store. Maybe known to everyone already. But it was a nice surprise to me.
I will not be walking around with an iphone and an infuse, but at least, I can still use the apps I like on the iphone.
So back to an Infuse question.
Is there a way to have the text messages unlock the screen and pop up when a text comes in. I thought I made some settings changes, but it still does not work. This was one think I was used to with the iphone.
Thanks. Stefne
It doesn't now? What about the puzzle lock screen for text messages and missed calls?

Use something like textplusgold or Handcent and go in the settings and look for turn on screen when message received and popup

GO SMS Pro (market link) does this by default, and it is highly themeable. I personally did not like handcent, so I do not have much first hand experience, but I have heard secondhand that GO SMS PRO is faster and updated more often.
Welcome to our community & welcome to android! Maybe once your feet get wet in time, and the dev community has made more continued progress you'll see that battery life. I've had several occasions I've went 1 day+ without charging.
Search for SMS pop-up on the market. Works great.

Glad you're keepin it. I am actually a big supporter for windows phone 7. And I like android so I've been pretty torn. I almost took my infuse back for the hd7s... but I would lose my awesome voice to text, front facing camera, "4g", and more useful enterprise level apps. Oh, and I can sync 100 percent with outlook on my android. Something windows phone 7 cannot do and that is baffling.

Users that updated their G2X to V21E, you getting any random reboots or freezing? Please report in this post. Thanks!
Nope not yet and seem overall faster, but only time will tell.
Is Wifi fixed?
Yea, the true test will be a couple of days of uptime...

Been only a few hours guys. Take a day or 2 to test this out. Battery, WIFI, GPS, Reboots...etc
None so far... but the true test is when it's on my charger at night. So we will see...
None so far. Definitely noticeable increase in speed. No wifi or GPS issues yet either. Only bug so far is the 4g and signal status not switching to green indicating network connection to Google. Does on my N1.

my phone sometimes freezes or becomes unresponsive to my fingers...
I will be flashing back to 2.2. I never had a single reboot in the 4 months I've had the phone and now in 3 hours since I have updated, the phone has rebooted 4 times and froze twice. Also, my GPS would lock in 10 seconds with 20 feet of accuracy and now its taking a couple minutes to lock with 100 feet of accuracy. I really hope this isn't the finished product.

Your crazy. ;-)
Is your phone set to Max brightness or is it on auto? If its on auto, I bet LG reprogrammed the code to dim the backlight more than it was before so people don't notice it as much. Mine has always been minimal but its still the same at max brightness. A software update ain't going to fix a hardware issue.

That jrwingate6 guy is some sort of shill poster,
claims to love the phone,
the next day he hates it,
next day he says he is leaving the forum because he is selling it,
next day he is complaining that he is keeping it because he can not sell it, next day he is whining that he never has had a problem with the phone,
next day he is complaining that GB is never coming,
next day he is saying the G2x is being recalled and will never be sold on T-mobile again,
next day he is saying he just updated to GB but it sucks so he is going to need to remove it
And he continues. if he is not some sort of paid corporate troll....its a pity because he is working it hard.
jrwingate6, I called you on this before....its fine....if I see your reply you can assume, I passed it off as gar-bauge and moved on.

Yeah, not a single problem with the update. No reboots (never had them to begin with). This may not be the final GB but so fast I'm completely satisfied.

OK, JR and I disagree more than we agree, and I'm sure he can defend himself but:
- claims to love the phone
He talks positively about aspects of it.
-the next day he hates it
He talks negatively about aspects of it.
-next day he says he is leaving the forum because he is selling it
He kept it because he got it free from T-Mobile and it does some things better than the Sensation.
-next day he is complaining that he is keeping it because he can not sell it, next day he is whining that he never has had a problem with the phone
I don't know where you pulled this from but it doesn't sound like JR
-next day he is complaining that GB is never coming
So?
-next day he is saying the G2x is being recalled and will never be sold on T-mobile again
Lots of rumors about this. JR tends to quote from a source though.
-next day he is saying he just updated to GB but it sucks so he is going to need to remove it
Too early to tell if others are going to experience the same thing.
Tom, you're the one that still believes the phone's not for sale on tmobile.com because it's so popular. You're no stranger to sharing and defending unique opinions so it's odd you chose to single out JR. You've gone after me too. I come here to hear different opinions. I can figure out which one's to believe without a self-appointed moderator telling me.
So, I was listening to Google Music, playing Words With Friends, and all of a sudden my phone's screen went a little crazy. Wish I could have grabbed a screen shot, but the best I can describe it as is it got "blurry" or "fuzzy" looking. I was able to click and go to other apps, but the screen was still not right. I managed to reboot the phone and it was back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced this? My first instinct is to take it back to AT&t and try to get a replacement, but I don't want to take any drastic action if this is something that is already a known issue (thought I couldn't find any posts about it) and might be fixed in an update, or if it could have just been a fluke...
What would you guys do? Everything else about the phone is fine (working wi-fi, no light bleed, etc.) so i'd hate to get a replacement that has issues, but at the same time if i'm going to keep getting this issue every so often, I'd rather replace it...hmmm, what to do???
I would try getting a replacement but good luck getting one with the current apple law suit.

had a similar "screen" experience when i tried to use Ivona Voice for TTS. when i selected Ivona Voice as my TTS option, the screen would move up and down like i was scrolling up and down. i removed and reinstalled the app only to see the same behavior. i removed the app and have not had any screen issues since then.
fyi, my phone is rooted and i'm using the 1.82 RUU.
I get the odd graphical glitch using the stock keyboard. Pretty random sometimes

My first hox had a graphical glitch whenever i used google maps. Best to exchange it.

I noticed after using the camera on the black and white setting, gTalk was stuck in black and white until I quit and restarted it. It only happened once and I've been unable to duplicate it.
I'm wondering if this might actually be a problem with android 4 and sense 4. I have noticed the weird graphical issues but have never been able to duplicate them. I came from the HTC evo 3d and was rooted running newts HTC one port. On that phone I was having the same issues. Screen flashing randomly while texting and a couple other weird things. Just a thought to chew on

I'd I end up exchanging it, does anyone know if Zagg will give me a replacement screen protector under their lifetime guarantee policy?

This is 99% likely not a phone issue and is software related. Too many people immediately returning phones without thinking or investigating. This may be free to do and is your right to do but it just drives up costs for everyone in the long run. Just my two cents.
Edit: sorry, I know you are trying to investigate now...I'm mainly referring to the peeps that always instinctively recommend exchanges.

Hello everyone I just got my Nexus 5 this past Wednesday and while i was typing a text message with google messenger out of the blue it vibrated for 1 second, I turned off all alerts and no other notifications were seen. Anyone know why it did this ?
I'm on 6.0.1 BTW

Mine has done that too. It occurred while I was viewing email and I thought perhaps it was an ad vibrating my phone. I'm also getting about 50% of my calls while the rest are sent to voicemail with no explanation. I'm contemplating going back to lollipop
Same here
My nexus 5 started to vibrate while i was texting.The vibration was continuous.I was really scared so thought of rebooting now its good and no more random vibrations
Flash new ROM
Which ROM are you using?
Maybe this is a bug which is ROM related.
Just flash a newer version of your Rom.
It's weird alright. On my old Nexus 5 it vibrated like crazy every time I shook the device ?

I turned off vibration on keypress for the Google keyboard, I doubt that was it but you never know we will see
