No, because it doesn't happen all the time.

if your taking it in to a store then try putting a pin inside the back speaker and wiggling it around a bit. Make sure it crackles when audio is played. cuz if u take it in and they mess with it they may just say well i cant see a problem.

Am I the only one who thinks the op should just suck it up for the problem HE caused and stop ripping off tmo... Or maybe I'm just too moral....

I hear ya, I was checking the Slide boards to see if their was anything new for my wife's main phone and my backup and one of the guys over there had a legit fail on his second phone and they offered him a free replacement Slide or re-furbed MT4G and it turned into a 4 page thread of bull**** lies to tell TMO to get out of the Slide and into the MT4G.
I've noticed that people also do this every time the "latest and greatest" comes out and then whine and cry that the manufactures aren't putting out updates... with all the people that do this it makes it appear to the manufactures that there are too many issues with the device to support with future update support.

T-Mobile most likely going to just fix it up. Its not like there's anything really wrong with the phone. He can literally say my phone is rebooting on its own and I haven't installed any apps. It's not really scamming T-Mobile scratches aren't that big of a deal now lying to get an upgrade is more of scamming T-Mobile.
Why is everyone I know excited about the thunderbolt I had it for months on T-Mobile

You mean the ROM, right? Pretty sure people are excited about the hardware. Go read Engadget's review of it. Those guys are the most biased iphone fanboys ever and they gave the Thunderbolt a pretty damn good review. The phone is sexy as hell.
Now if you mean you somehow had the Thunderbolt, a CDMA phone, running on T-Mobile, a GSM network, then please do tell. I love good fiction as much as the next guy.

Mytouch 4g is and thunderbolt are basically the same phone few differences. Like an 8mp camera on the thunderbolt and a better ffc. Only thing I'm jealous of is a kickstand. I like it has a g2 like build.

P.S These screens are tough as hell there so manyy scratches when the screen is off and when you turn it on it doesn't do that rainbow effect and the scratches are invisible

Yeah it has similar guts as our phone, but 4.3 inch display, like you said both cameras are way better, capacitive buttons on the front (subjective feature), kickstand, proper HTC Sense, and in Engadget's test they saw up to 20Mbps on the LTE network. They admitted that once it's loaded with customers that would drop probably significantly, but it's still a good sign.
The internal specs are similar to ours, but other than that, it's different in every way. THAT'S why people are excited about it.
Edit: don't get me wrong, I love my Glacier. I am most certainly not jumping to Verizon. I have had every t-mo phone and the only thing that might make me leave my Glacier is if the Pyramid comes to t-mo. *crosses fingers*. Basically my point is, saying you've used the Thunderbolt on t-mo for months now is just a tiny bit on the hyberbole side.

Well we have a higher pi seeing that our phone is smaller remember just because they have more megapixel doesn't mean it takes better pictures. The VGA or 1.3 camera won't matter for video calling. Only thing I'm jealous of is a kickstand. Then again everything is a personal preference. Hell ill jump to HTC pyramid as well if its on T-Mobile. Something tells me T-Mobile going to take out the kick stand I don't want to buy their cheap case.

The moral responsibility lies on the OP he asked a question and people did there best to respond to it. Just remember it cost HTC a total of $62 to produce the average device and we pay $500+ for it.

wait how did this thread go into a thunderbolt vs MT4G argument

Amazing Phone - First Impressions

I had this phone for few hours now and it is unbelieveable fast and responsive.
The screen is better than in my previous Galaxy S 4G and actually feels better and more responsive. The colors are unbelieveable and more natural than SGS4G. Black colors will not make me return this phone at all.
Thr speakers are super clear as well. Actually got surprised by how clear the sound is.
Data speeds and reception have been great as well.
these are my first impressions.

T-mobile has the best customer service of all the time. I called today and I was 9 month into my contract with 3 vibrants on my account. I was offered new g2x and renewing my contract. I told them that other lines dont care about this phone but they might be interested in some phones that are soon to be released. And the rep told me just call back and they will give me full phone upgrading option to my other two lines. Cant be happier and cant wait for the ups truck now!

Did you call to cancel your service or did you speak to the sales department?
In my experience, the sales department would never make an offer like that so I'm guessing you were threatening to cancel unless you got a deal like this.

I actually talked to CS first and told them the problem that I was having with GPS on my vibrant and then she connected me to some other department(customer loyalty I believe). Then I nicely explained the stiuation with the phone having GPS problems even after the current replacement that I had. And he asked me, if I might consider an upgrade and I just told him that I could give it a try to see if the next phone is better. And then I told him that I cant upgrade all three phones right now but I might in future. So I asked for G2x and he expided for me and devided $250 into four month payment + $50 rebate. (btw, I have been with tmobile since 2004)

loving it so far only 1 problem
so im loving the phone so far. coming from droid 1. havent been able to test the 4g much yet only 2g at the house. I do miss some of the customizations in my rom Sourcery from the droid one will get to porting it to this when we get what we need from the great cm. coming over from verizon obviously. my only complaint is i was under the impression the tmobile girl would come welcome me and she hasnt shown up yet

I had a chance to briefly try one of these out at the store today and was really tempted to just buy it. I currently have a nexus one so it's a huge step up. The only thing holding me back is the HTC Sensation which is supposed to come out in june. Do you guys think it's worth waiting for over the g2x?

Nevermind...

I read multiple posts about the Sensation having a locked boot loader. I dont know how long it would take devs to get around it but it might be problem at first for a while. I would also would like to see a real world comparisson with G2x.

lol that would be funny. Im from nyc

The sound is incredible, both in call and external. I was amazed how loud and clear it is.
Great phone thus far except I'm burning the battery much too quickly.

Any DC users think of moving to the Bionic?

I'm thinking about it, is anyone else?
Has anyone of you played with one yet? I hear they have CM7 on it already....

After jumping to several new phones and then being pissed while waiting on a good ROM to come out, I have finally seen the light. I am no longer jumping to a new phone the second it comes out. When I see that there's a good amount of dev being done on a device, then I'll switch. That's right around the time something new comes out... So, I'll still be upgrading every year or so, but about 6 months after the new stuff gets released.
Thankful for the devs that make these phones great!

And when I do swap, it'll probably be for the Prime...

No, the Charge is a quality device and I will be happy with it until there is a phone launched with ICS on Verizon. The Bionic has no guarantee for timely software updates and comes with too much bloatware for my taste. Honestly, I only bought the Charge to have unlimited 4G data. I would have rather just waited for a device with ICS but Verizon forced my hand.

The Bionic has way too many disadvantages for me starting with the awful looking washed out/grainy pentile screen, the camera sucks etc etc etc
My boss had one for two days & I played with it constantly before he returned it. Neither of us where impressed with the thing at all.

No way. This phone does everything I need and more. The screen is awesome by the way.

I am spoiled rotten by Super AMOLED and + displays. There is no way I would be happy, content, or even mildly okay with a pentile fuzzy screen. If something comes out that is faster, has more memory, AND has an awesome screen then I may consider it. I don't have to have a screen as good at the Super AMOLED or Super AMOLED+, but they sure have set the bar really high for me.

The screen was the deal breaker for me, no point in having a super fast phone if it looks like s*!#

I agree with the other posters who say no way, but wanted to add that CM7 is not on the Bionic. It boots but that is about it.

Not everyone buys phones on contract, so that's why people would upgrade already.

AMEN Brother
I've had just about all the smartphones out & only 2 or 3 have been an upgrade

I am on contract but don't mind selling the phone to recoup some of my loss..
Two reasons why I'm thinking of moving away from the DC.
1. Handset speaker volume to low during a call...yes I have it all the way up!
2. No matter what ROM I use, the phone gets laggy after a few days and needs rebooting to clear. Using Zeam as launcher right now too!
Battery life is ok, get about 2 - 2.5 hrs of "screen time" a day
I do love the screen though...except for the over saturated colors....wish there was an app to adjust saturation

Well, I have to totally agree with you on all of those. #2 is the one that really kills me, especially when you are trying to do something as simple as making a phonecall.
We need a good app like QuickGamma, that would fix the colors with the screen. Red is WAY overblown!

The bionic's screen is horrendous ..
I am selling to get the htc vigor.. thing looks aamazing and I am an htc fanboi after having the incredible.

Many Fascinate users were upgraded to the Charge for free during a short period of time. I, myself, was one of those users and I am eligible for an upgrade if I were to see something I really liked.
As was pointed out, many other people buy phones off contract. There is a huge used market. Many folks will buy a like-new used phone and turn around and sell it when something bigger/better comes out to recoup some value from it. There are lots of folks that upgrade their phone several times a year for a number of reasons.
I don't upgrade that often, but I've seen others that do.

Getting ready to sell Triumph

As many others have been doing lately, I also am getting ready to sell my Triumph and leave VM. In my case, I'm getting the Galaxy Note (just ordered it) and will be using it on Straight Talk. I have my phone on me 24/7 and just got tired of not having a completely reliable phone/service. I've really enjoyed being a part of this community and have appreciated all the work the devs put in. Wish I could have contributed more, but with every thing I've learned in my Android/rooting experience with the OV and MT I was able to give some little tips here and there, which I hope were helpful.
As a heads up, when I get around to it, once I get my Note all set up and play around with it to make sure it's all working right, I'll be posting this in the classifieds to give you guys first dibs on it before I put it on Craigslist or eBay, if you're looking to buy an extra or upgrade, along with a summary of the issues it has (fortunately nothing too major, pretty much just the basic QC issues everyone's had.)
I wish you all well as you continue on with VM and the Triumph, and I'll miss being a part of it.

I'm actually selling my triumph as well. Going to straight talk but getting the iphone. I know iphone dont kill me lol.

Its not the best. If you spend some time reading reviews and checking out the forums here and on AndroidForums (its more active over there) you'll see all the issues people have had with it. I upgraded to it from my OV and since I was willing to overlook the minor issues I had with it I loved it but the unreliability of the touchscreen has driven me crazy lately. It definitely runs 100% better with cm7, although froyo is better for gaming and has HDMI. I'd say it really depends on your usage. If you're not on it 24/7 like me and can overlook the minor issues its great, otherwise I'd say to stay away. I hate saying that knowing I'll be selling it soon, but I can't in good conscience say otherwise

I have had the phone for about 7 months now and I am still happy with it. Of course coming from a Blackberry I should be, but with the amount of customization and development available for this phone, you can fix ALMOST all the bugs or glitches that most ppl were complaining about on Froyo.
Over at androidforums, ziggy46 and some others are almost finished with a gingerbread rom that has HDMI working on it. All they need fixed is 3G/Data & and SMS/MMS which, thanks to our devs, we have had really good luck at getting to work on so many other roms.
On top of that, we are beginning to have new ICS roms popping up. This phone is far from dead as some would think.

I am too selling the phone and moving to another carrier. What will VM do to the phone after the different provider will port the number? Will I need to do anything before I sell? I reverted to stock, but CWM is still there, will the buyer be able to activate it?
Thank you, it's been pleasure to be a part of CM7 triumph development.

It's pretty simple. You just buy the phone (Amazon, Ebay, or Expansys USA would be some good places to look), then go to straighttalksim.com and buy the $15 Sim card along with their monthly service, pop the Sim card in, put in the apn settings, and you're good to go. You'd do basically the same thing for the iPhone. There's a thread here with a lot of info if you have time to red through it: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1753835 I had no problems setting mine up, so if you decide to go that route and have any questions feel free to pm me.

Straight Talk's BYOP program uses ATT or tmo, depending on which Sim you order. With either of those devices, you'd wanna choose the ATT Sim, as they would only get edge speeds on tmo. If you had a pentaband device or one designed to utilize tmo's 3g you'd choose the tmo Sim.

I think so too if t mobile can do it then why is att so far behind especially since there's been 2 leaks and from what ive read the second is all the way functional except a few bugs so what's taking so long

Yeah, hopefully this week or next. I see no reason why not. T-Mo SII just got it through Kies, so there is def SII love. US SIII just isn't groundbreaking.

Will this be an OTA we have to manually retreive or a Kies update? Im half wondering if Kies will give it to us right now.

I hope it gets here soon, I'm so utterly disgusted with the lack of features and performance in mine that I'm already ready to go back to an iPhone. The only reason I bought it was because my iPhone 4 was stolen and the AT&T sales rep said ICS was coming out "next week", this was nearly two months ago.

The only reason I bought it was because my iPhone 4 was stolen and the AT&T sales rep said ICS was coming out "next week", this was nearly two months ago.

lack of features? which features might those be?
As far as performance goes, the skyrocket is no slouch.

Lack of features aka I can't find them cuz they aren't on the home screen or plastered to my face

hey, I'm not here to start anything, I wasted $200 on this thing because it's just not right for my usage. I have to restart it several times a day because it locks up, the stock browser is a joke, I'm forced to use Dolphin which I hate to access my company portal (hey, I didn't use Safari on my iPhone, but Safari did work for that) It won't ring, I never get notifications of text messages or voicemail, I drive over 200 miles a day so having music to listen to is important, and I had to dust off my old iPod for that, I had the TomTom app on my iPhone and since I travel out of my service area regularly I cant trust the navigation that came with the Samsung because it constantly loses GPS signal, so I had to buy a TomTom. I honestly thought my phone was broken so I took it back but the guy in the store said there was nothing wrong with my phone. I used to use Foursquare but the GPS is so off that every time I check in anywhere it says I'm too far away. Oh, and my battery only gives me about three hours off the charger.

Haha! Epic!
But honestly this is taking way too long to get the "official" ICS out... not complaining just an observation.

Well maybe you're just "special"
Go back to an iPhone, they're good for people who can't figure things out

Wow you're a ****. And I mean that with the most disgusted inflection that word allows for, jackass.
To the other guy; your phone is faulty. It just is. You're the consumer, you payed for a product that isn't delivering. You're going to need to whine and ***** about it, make it a big of enough deal; don't take no for an answer.
They're retail stores, switching out used devices isn't really their forte. (If you had a faulty iPhone you'd still need to make a big deal about it before getting it switched).
You have a great phone, trust me and everyone else here who knows phones. Yours is faulty; the Skyrocket is an incredibly powerful device.
