Just a few posts about people loving this phone, but plenty of posts of people having problems with this phone and returning it a few times, I'm exchanging mine too, i guess u guys are the few lucky ones.

No, its a fact that people complain far more than they compliment. Those enjoying their phones are the silent majority.

I'm going from my droid which is running an under volt kernel and OCed to 1000 with CM5 (could be wrong on the version of CM, can't remember). Can't wait for CM7 on this phone.
The only issue I have is minor light bleed, but its so minor I wouldn't imagine returning the phone.
I personally think a lot of people complain too damn much.

Coming from the whole iPhone lineup. I'm in love with this phone and android in general. I've tried the evo, atrix, Droid, and the nexus one. I love the responsiveness of this phone. Can't wait for cm7!

I'm loving mine too....just wish LG worked on the drivers a little more so that the battery lasts like it's supposed to. Hopefully that will be fixed quick via gingerbread or cm 7...leaning towards cm 7 myself ....no screen issues here either

People are petty, one little problem and they start complaining. I love this phone besides battery draining issue which should be fixed with a quick update

here we go!

This is my first android phone and my first time with Tmobile. So far the phone and service have been great. The phone is already really fast but I can't wait to see what CM7 or the gingerbread release brings.

How to be sure its not ref device?

Ive just got my replacement and i would like to be sure its not ref device. But i dont know how to check this. Thx a lot for help
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

The only way to check is to run the LG Updater and it will identify the phone and tell you the internal model number. Anything other than LGP999DW is a refurb. The known refurb models are LGP999DWP and LGP999DWDU. The updater will not harm the phone as you are not actually updating it. Just using it to read the internal model number.

Thx a lot man

Lol They've send me ref device

I will say, that although I was initially bothered that my replacement was a refurbished unit, it far exceeds my original in terms of lack of screen bleed, no reboots, no overheating, gps works, etc.

This one has rly bad srcreen, 2 reboots in a few hours plus is getting hot rly fast. Beside i've paid for a brand new phone so i dont rly know why they would send me refur one,specially the rly bad one. Looks lile tmo did it in purpose trying to rid off it

Call them and let them know your replacement sucks. They will most likely overnight you another one.
I don't know how much they test refurbs - but you got a bad one so get another.

Welcome to our club.

Also just picked up a G2x off of Craigslist, as well as a T-Mob Nexus S. Playing with both of them to see which one I'll keep. Have you put a ROM on the G2x yet? It's a little bit more involved than using the One-Click app.

I've tried out most of them. I prefer the CM7 nightlies so far (although I'm running the latest KANG atm).

I'm on AOSP and liking it, prolly move to CM nightly soon. Between this and the Nexus S, having a hard time deciding which I prefer - whichever one I happen to be using at the moment is the one I like better. Just worried about whether devs will bring a decent ICS to the G2x.

Does CM7 have the issue of constantly turning wifi off when screen shuts off, even though settings are fixed to prevent wifi shut off? I was using Eagle's Blood, which is supposed to be based on CM, and my wifi would not stay on and was causing my data radios to kill my battery. I'm now on Weapon G2x and the problem stopped (saw this solution in other forums), but I'd like to try other ROMs and I'm wonder if you or anyone else has seen this issue in their ROM of choice. Thanks!

Thanks this phone is fast I can play angry birds and ninja fruit with no lag

it is encouraging to see someone else do the same drastic upgrade! i am a little afraid i'll miss my keyboard but i think that will fade quickly

Yea this is a nice phone. Something about the hardware I like most is the feel of the screen, it feels just like glass so your fingers glides with ease lol

I thought I was going to miss the keyboard on the blackberry. I was over of in a day.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Also forgot to mention I came from a Motorola backflip. Its slower then the g1 cuz of motoblur. I was happy to throw it up in the air about 70 feet in the air once I got this phone. Surprisingly it didn't crack. It broke though. Anyways Congrats on the g2x

that is good news to hear then i've had keyboard phones for six years and was going to upgrade to the sidekick 4g but after doing all my research i decided the g2x was obviously a much better phone, it will just be a bit of an adjustment for me

I also came from a g1 and sold that and got the mt4g with some cash. It was and still is a beast of a phone but I needed a g2x so I traded for one on craigslist. Honestly as nice as that g1 keyboard was I have gotten over it with smartkeyboard pro which IMHO is the best on-screen keyboard out there. Best part is I'm still due for an upgrade since this past August and I already got this sick ass g2x I was drooling for back when I had the og g1 lollol

Then you need to call HTC and find out who you need to talk to to find out if your serial number is still covered by the manufacturer's warranty. If not, it's probably something you should have done BEFORE you made the purchase. I could be wrong but it sounds like someone passed a hardware problem off on an unsuspecting buyer. BUT....it MAY still be covered and they didn't know either.
Isn't it worth a try?

Where can I find there number and can u get me it please?

This is their online "Warranty Statement". But it does conflict with the results some others have had doing a return. It COULD be that they returned it thru their carrier.

This is their website where you can directly e-mail the company with questions if you like.

(all I did was Google it.....)

It's official...we are not getting ICS :(

http://www.technobloom.com/htc-thun...mation-on-android-ice-cream-sandwich/2220603/
Kinda figured this would happen. Now if HTC was a decent company they would still release their source...but we all know they wont.

Im not all expecting to see an official release but that site is about the most vague pile of crap ever. I cant help but doubt the validity of anything posted there.

I never really expected this to happen after observing all the work from the devs on it. ICS has always ran kinda wishy washy for me. I mean it works and all, but there are definitely some performance issues and bugs no matter which rom you use. Verizon nor HTC intends to release a shoddy product. It either has to work 100% or not at all. If ICS cant run as well as GB did, then it aint gonna happen.

I wish I had a dollar for all the false rumors that have been posted about ICS, I'd buy Verizon and have enough left over to keep me in booze and hookers for the rest of my life!
I think this is one more dollar in my stash....

If that were the case though, the thunderbolt would've ran well from launch day, which anyone who had one since then will say that it didn't. Originally the battery life was horrendous and had to be fixed by an OTA.

NO ICS
just called HTC ,,, and they told me , that we are not getting ics,,, htc thunderbolt is discontinued,,,, :crying:

We could call and email different reps at HTC and we would get a slew of different responses from them all. Stuff like this no one will know the correct answer as tech support as we all know is the last to know.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2

So let's see if I understand this... the OFFICIAL WORD from Verizon AND from HTC is that the Thunderbolt will or will not get ICS and will get it within the next two days or later than that or never.
Does that about cover it? <G>
Honestly, I don't see what all the flap is about? ICS doesn't offer anything I need or want other than (I HOPE!) a better kernel for the Devs to work with.
Meanwhile, NuSense works for me and the BAMF leak works for me if I want ICS and, if I want Gingerbread, Infected ROM works for me and Thunderstick BB works for me along with a bunch of other ROMs I've tried.

Was at Verizon today, Reps informed me there will be no ICS for our phones...Cant say I'm surprised...my upgrade is in January, not going to worry about it .. Can't believe they state we would get the upgrade, then renege ..
If Apple can upgrade their older model Iphones for several years , why can' t our Android phones do the same.. and no I'm not switching..
