So after todays update i returned my Thunderbolt

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!

Gooood.... Goooood.....

Keep in mind, we don't actually have the galaxy s 2, we have the skyrocket version, plus we have att's draconian certification process to get through. I'd love to see it on that date but I'll believe it when I see it.

Actually, with AT&T already giving the Vivid the ICS update, I'd say that this could be pretty realistic.
At least we know if it doesn't come soon, it's not AT&T, it's Samsung.

ICS has not been released for the Vivid. That is someone talking out of turn (a dedicated tester or volunteer tester). That realease would be all over Android Central and our website.

Love how they mention that leaked roms from Samsung are showing signs of progress. My question is, WHERE ARE THE ICS LEAKS FOR THE SKYOCKET?!?
When I had my Captivate we were getting new gingerbread leaks almost every day for several months. Who do we need to talk to to get some leaks for us? Anyone know???

How do over the air updates with AT&T's work? Isn't just a pop-up box you can cancel or are they forced or what? I rooted my mom's phone but left in stock. Not sure what to expect.

It gives you a notification saying you have an update available, if you want to install it or not, is your choice.
Sometimes you'll even get a text informing you that your phone has an update available.

Another question for the updates, is it only for carrier sold phones? I bought mine at the US but I'm at Israel and I still haven't received the 2.3.6 update.

Very good news, will open development of some nice ROM's. Maybe it will keep me from flashing once or twice a week.

I doubt it. We'll see though, hopefully they surprise.

To throw my two cents in, the fact that SGSII international is getting it soon and supposedly Vivid is getting it now is a good sign for us.
However, I really don't like TouchWiz's overlay of ICS. To me one of the main features of ICS was a revamped and slick look. TouchWiz 4 just kills that. So what do I, personally (and anyone who feels the same) have to look foward to with ICS?
This is coming from an Android noob btw, so if there was extra features besides the FaceUnlock *useless imo* and sleek UI please enlighten me.

The real benefit will be the Kernel getting into the hands of the Devs. In time, they will do many thing with it including a non-Touchwiz version ROM.

From what I understand ICS is completely redone. There are alot of new code and things done different from previous versions of Android. I can understand why nothing has really been released yet. I know there is a couple versions of ICS over in the development section but there are very few things that work.

BYE!!!

Skyrocket guys, its been fun and this has been the best group of people I have worked with but recently I bricked my phone and had to send it in with my geek squad protection from best buy...welll they approved me for a junk out which means i get a phone pretty much of my choosing....I will be getting the Samsung galaxy note! I will have to pay a small difference but since i laid my hands on the note i loved it!!!
Hope to work with you guys again!!

Same here. The SR is tiny but far more functional for me. I'll await the arrival of the S3 or something else manageable with one handed operation.

Easiest ROM?

Alright my dad got a infuse the other day, and he's new to the whole tech thing. What's the easiest rom my dad can use, and not be confused? He's from a different country, so one that supports different laguages, and is very clear. From my sig, you can see I'm from a different part of the forums. Ty

So a dude wants to trade his Motorola Razr for my Infuse. Should I take it?
He wants to trade today (it's 11:56 PM ET at the moment and he wants to trade at like 5PM ET)
Any bootloader issues or anything?

I don't know much about that device, but I believe the issue with it is that almost everything is signed, which would limit you in terms of flashing, for example, no jelly bean for the moment until a source that is needed is released.

I have a Droid Razr and my girlfriend has the Infuse. I personally like the Razr better, but it has a lot less roms available. Its just so sleek and thin, and the battery life is a bit better than the infuse. But to each his own :good:
