So long, Thunderbolt - Thunderbolt General

Got the phone a year ago for free from my mom cause VZW messed up her insurance and she got the Thunderbolt for no extra charge.
Charging port started to get really weak and you had to jiggle it around. Well, it completely got smashed in about 2 months ago. Dad has the same phone so he would charge my batteries whenever I was in town, but I usually just used a flip phone for calls and texts and my wife's old Captivate when wifi was around.
Dad offered to get me the Galaxy Nexus a few days ago before Verizon screws around with unlimited data.
I'm gonna miss you :crying:

Cool story bro.

Pre order the s3 and just get that... It's better than GNexus

My dad wanted to do that for me but we would have had to pay for it in full first and neither of us have that kind of money right now. I got just got lucky that we were able to charge it to the bill

I joke about this with her but my wife killed my TV with her excessive QVC and HSN watching. Upside is that she now has to watch them on her crappy 19" Coby TV. Lol

I went to check on that. 16gb is $199. 32gb is $249. I'd have to get in today and use my wife's upgrade for myself. It's tempting, though I may just stay with the Bolt for now and buy something used later, avoiding the new contract.

Read the CNET review first. A dim screen is the most unacceptable flaw a smart phone can have imo.

I will agree with you. It's all in what Rom you use and how you set it up. If you let everything run like gps and auto sync, the battery will die quickly on any phone, its a given. Sync when you need too and use gps when you need it. Dim the screen when you can and don't overclock a ridiculous amount and you can easily get a day out of it. I haven't had any issue with my tbolt. My .02

You guys are lucky. I keep my screen dimmed, GPS and sync off, underclocked kernel, stick on 3g...
Generally when I leave the house to catch the bus, I'm at 100%. By time I get to work two hours later... 50%.
Granted the phone gets a lot of use during that time. But compared to my droid, droid 2 and even my old blackberry curve... The battery is atrocious.
Granted if I put it in airplane mode it can last a long, long time.
I love this phone... But the battery blows.

why i buy S3 with no built in kickstand and lol 1 flash camera
how many apps and game will compatible with ICS? ooohh..jellybean soon will launched
look at g-shop, mostly app/game min req was 2.2 aka froyo
most recent reason i stay with tbz only by their unique kickstand shape and dual flash camera( looking good and built in crucial hardware) lol

friend just got thhe SIII and loves it!

what will be your next phone?

i switch phones very often, usually every 3-4 months... but since i bought my tbolt at best buy i have to hold onto it till at least january which will be a challenge for me.
i know verizon doesn't always carry the best top of the line phones but ill be looking at the next iphone or hopefully the galaxy s 2 early next year.
what might be your next phone after the tbolt?
I keep them until I get my next free phone. Paid $10 at best buy for my bolt.

Oh, FWIW, I paid $99 with a new contract via Amazon Wireless. I was out of contract and month to month on TMobile, prior.

I paid 180 for mine with my new every two and extra discounts.
I am thinking about getting a iphone4 (cough cough) from ebay just to check out and see what all the hipe is.
no way i would downgrade from a tbolt to the "new" iphone. thats like going from a 1000cc crotch rocket to a pocket bike.
im pretty content with my tbolt. it does everything i need. the 3d would be pretty sweet on it though
i probably paid more because i went through best buy, although my wife's lg vortex was free so all in all im happy. i think the sg2 will be my next phone.
After the MR2 update that just rolled out, I'll be happy with the Thunderbolt for a while. I'll hold out till they release a Nexus phone for Verizon, then I'll switch in a heartbeat.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Probably the Bionic. According to engadget, it will have full HDMI mirroring. Assuming this is true, it will be my next phone. (when it has been rooted, no much launch day buys for me.) If it isn't true, then I will wait till something has an HDMI out with a 960x540 or> display. As far as hardware goes, the TB is more than enough for what I use a phone for. I rarely ever use it for gaming. So, I really only want a better screen and HDMI. That is, if I stay with VZW. If I don't it will probably be the next gen evo.

My SO/GF has an iPhone 4, and she is always on it. She's a techie, but not quite as UNIX-y as I am.
Personally, and having been an iPhone 3 and iPod Touch owner (and still am), I cannot see any advantage to an iPhone 4 from an unlocked 1GHz Android device. Battery, perhaps, and pocket portability with the small screen. I would suspect to hear of your disappointment after a thunderbolt.

i almost got the charge but it was $300 at best buy. the tbolt reminded me alot of my evo4g so i went with it.

Nexus is here....

I just saw it at the Verizon store.. they can't sell it till tomorrow.
I held it in my hand.. very weird with the curve.. will be great with the ladies..
Will go back in the morning and put it to the test next to my SR..
From what I can tell the only thing good about the phone is ICS..
*EDIT*... Okay.. went out eariler and saw this "wonder phone"... I brought my sr to compare..
People.. this Nexus is nothing.. feels cheap, and feels smaller then the SR.. I can't tell the difference in the screen except mine looks better.... ICS is the only selling point on this phone.. Could I feel a 'difference" well. stock to stock yes. But with different launchers.. etc.. I can't tell my phone from the Nexus..
If you want to pay $300 for a sub par phone with ICS by all means go ahead... I'm keeping the SR.
I just got the email...released today for sale (15th)

I was really considering buying one of the gsm versions then I did some research and found out about the galaxy s2 hd lte which is pretty much the same phone but without ice cream sandwich, but I keep comparing and found the deal breaker, the galaxy nexus does not have micro sd slot which is a android first for me. Sounds like some apple maddness, plus I got a 64gb microsd so that just docent work for me. But hey to each his own
Verizon did a poor job at releasing that phone.
I thought the nexus was going to come out around November so I waited.
My Moto atrix screen was cracked and I couldn't wait any longer. I don't regret buying the Samsung skyrocket best phone I owned so far....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Im tempted due to ICS but in the end it isn't worth switching to Verizon and paying money for a phone that really isn't any better just for ICS .
I had Verizon and the service was subpar. AT&T works amazingly for me with speeds. After owning an iPhone I don't want another phone without an SD slot.
ICS will be available soon enough on our SR.

yea i have an upgrade coming up around that time as well. but till then i am GOING to use my buy back if i can....then upgrade to the quad when it is released.....after reading our posts, i am officially a PHONE JUNKY.
i want them ALL!!!!
I'm still within my 30 day buyer's remorse period, but I don't think I care about an HD display enough to go back to my crummy old Motorola for a couple months.
When shopping for my phone I tried out a couple with HD displays, and I realized that kind of pixel density is kind of wasted on me. I can see the difference if I really squint, but I just don't care. I'd almost rather have the added gaming performance that comes with a lower res display.
Plus, there's going to be some Tegra 3 phone that I really want 3 months after that, and something even more awesome 2 months after that. The life of an Android owner is to get the very latest and greatest when you get your phone, and to have it stay the latest and greatest for about a week.
but it has a better display and is bigger.....even if just by .15 inches.
lol.......
again if its possible i will be getting it.......
That's awesome. But like some of you guys I'm gonna hang onto my skyrocket. My lovely wife is going to give me her upgrade in November as long as she gets my skyrocket. Thanks babe.

[Review] Hyperion 3500 MaH Battery 15$

Can be found here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005PY4JFS/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1328908636&sr=8-1
They have killer customer support all I did was contact them about the broken back clip and they sent me a whole new product battery and all
So a couple days ago I ordered this battery. Monday to be exact came pretty quickly as it arrived on Wednesday. I order through amazon.
Anyways, this battery is a steal for 15$ all together, I unforturnetly received a broken backing but had contacted their gmail and have been notified I will be receiving a replacment backing soon.
Now to the stats :
I used this thing like I did on stock and it wouldn't budge I had to up things a notch just to make it fall....( this is the first charge cycle so expect better later on)
So for context, I was roaming xda, some internet surfing, music for 30 minutes, pandora for almost 2+ hours with an equalizer app. All on wifi *note 3g uses more battery* and I must say this battery speaks for it self.
You'll also have to cut out about 7 hours so 13 hours of heavy usage.
Kernel: Samurai "Tanto"
Intellidemand/noop
200-1000 -200.......-100 on the highest freq.
Go out and buy one of these things they are"the" best for 15$

Haha didn't think of to do a thread on it. Anyways here is a quick a update on mine, Screen Brightness was at 50%. And was running usually around 230-250MB mostly of RAM out of 3xx?
Still Running CM7 N28 with Seppuku @ 100/10000 VR | On-Demand W/UV of only -50mV for each freq.
If i had used airplane mode when not using data i could of shed about another 5-8 Hours outta of the battery and last longer.
In the screenie's below i still have had 20% left and just put into the PC to upload pics.
Update broke 6 hours display 22 hours total

Ah, ive been using this thing too. Awesome for the price you pay. Heh, I actually think that holding this thing with your index finger on the top of the chin is LOADS more comfortable than trying to get a steady grip without it. Although, I'm still pondering weather or not I should still get the fly grip whenever I don't have to use this.

Thinking of getting one

Hi guys i just have a chance to get an infuse but i am still thinking about so i decided to ask for opinions in the best place there is related to android phones: xda.
So what can you tell me about ics and jelly bean? is the battery good or it sucks taking into account it will not have a new battery but a used one for about a year.
Any help will be really appreciated!!!
thx guys
I don't have the infuse any more but ICS was great on it. Battery would last me all day with 3 hours of screen time with usually 30%+ to spare when I went to bed. The only thing I didn't like about my infuse was the crappy gps. Would drop signal constantly and it would often take a while. The strange thing is that gps apps would take forever to acquire a signal but if I closed the navigation app and loaded gps test I'd get a signal within 5 seconds.
Infuse is awesome GPS is not crappy anymore that has been resolved. So if u can get it do.
The devs here are light years ahead of samsung itself.

If the phone works properly and you are paying a fair price, don't see how you could go wrong - you can buy another battery at some point.
Many great roms by extraordinary developers plus support from lots and lots of helpful, knowledgeable users.

There will be those who diagree with me and I understand why- for me I would be tempted to do it as I have a 10 inch Acer A500 that spends almost all it's time in the case- I use my laptop or my phone and am very pleased with my Infuse. Several have left the Infuse for SGS3 - I have an SGS3 and still enjoy using the Infuse about 25% of the time. As long as you are ok not having the 10in. screen, I hope you make the decision that you are happiest with.

i would do the change with you but you are a little far :laugh:
yep, infuse is a great phone, i sold it for an htc...well lets just say i bought another infuse cause the htc vivid just didnt satisfy me the way the infuse does
You have countless roms to try...so if your a flashaholic...you’ll be in heaven
Tons of helpful people, a friendly community (with the exception of a troll or two every other month...)
i don’t know about other people...but i consider everyone in the infuse section like "family"...not literally but like a little forum family, like a no man left behind kinda group
moral of the story...unless you can get an sgs3 get the infuse!
Hey mg how bout lending a family member a few bucks lol....

Thanks for the opinion man and nop can´t get a sgs3 not by a chance at least at the moment so i will go for the infuse then.
The tab is to big for me and there is almost no development oh and the people on the forum is not really "good" if you get what i mean.
So wish me luck with the change so i can join you here
Good luck

If your doing it on a new 2 year contract. I'd say no. You could get something better. Like a HTC one x for $50, Refurbished Galaxy Note $50, sgs3 for $139. I'm waiting for Gnote 2 but if they want over $200 for it I may go with Gnote. Samsung Unpack starts today!
ICS and Jellybean seem to be working awesome here by the way. At least for me.

Bah!! When did the developers make the gps worth a damn? I sold it when I bought my s3.
Zeus 6 ROM had great GPS. And its snappy. I've used it on my vacations. Infuse isn't a bad phone but I'm thinking of upgrading to the Note 1. I think its a good decision coming from an Infuse. Half a gig ram more 1.5 ghz dual core a larger screen , longer battery life. Samsung adding jelly and butter. Also it'll get some of the Note 2 features sounds like a good investment for $50 bucks.

i havent looked to see if still available, but i got my infuse online with AT&T, refurbishd for 1 penny.
i would do that and keep your other stuff too.

But you would need an upgrade to get the penny deal...and I don't think he's using an upgrade...

The Note is for $50 at At&t web only deal refurbished with new contract. I originally wanted the Note 2 but I don't want to wait another 3 or more months to get it. I think they have a refurbed S2 for $39 too..not sure. If your thinking about it get before its banned. Its on Apples hit list.

I have an iPhone 4 now but I had the infuse and it was pretty awesome coming from a Mytouch 4g but I wouldn't get on contract with it...At all.
The battery life isn't that great, neither is gps and video chatting.
I've heard there's better android phones on the market if android is what you're looking for, searching around is best to make sure you buy a phone that's 100% you.
Check out the skyrocket too my ex boyfriend had one of those basically the same as the infuse but the think the battery life is better.
