So the one time I decide to take the thundy out the case I drop it getting out of the car. I pick it up and its non responsive, can't get past HTC green/white screen. I tried holding vol down and I went into system info. It says touch panel- fail?!? Did I really toast this thing in one drop?
Ouch buddy let us know how it goes that makes me cringe as I always rock my phones naked, well except the nexus one neoprene that i have used on both incredibles and the nexus one I own. Wish it was big enough for my Thunderbolt that case has saved my ass a couple times
So Jcase helped me flash back to stock and it now says S-On in bootloader but I still can't get past HTC logo. I think it dropped just right and broke the screen. Be careful if your running your phone without a case guys, Im a good example. First drop, ruined the screen! Now I have to wait for a replacement to get shipped.
ok so I got the $5.18/ month insurance from Verizon, they tried to offer a $6.99/month plan that adds a 6 month warranty to the exchange and then took it back saying you cant with the thunderbolt.
So my question is should I just tell them I lost the phone and get to keep the battery, sd card, and possibly fix the touch screen later to put it on Metro PCS? Verizon says they cover lost phones, does anyone know if I will have more trouble if my phone is lost versus broken?
Also if its broken is there anyway of getting out of the $100 deductible?
Anyone know if I have to wait a day after adding insurance or any trouble I will run into with this?
So you would tell them you lost it even though you dropped it?

Ill admit its sneaky, but to be honest Im mad that this phone didn't hold up better. The battery casing popped off relatively easy when it was dropped which was its downfall. Now I have to pay $100 and Im just supposed to be ok with this?
If Verizon still had a 30 day policy I could just take it to them but they are tightening the reigns.
Pics to follow showing light damage
Here are the pics
The only damage cosmetically to the phone is the nick on the corner and a scratch to the camera lens bezel that I can't really get to show up in a picture. Phone looks pristine, yet isn't worth more than a brick.
You can justify all you want but it doesn't make it right. Good luck

Your right this phone is built to withstand nothing. Seems weird that 15 days after the bolt's release verizon is changing all their return policy rules.
Also no extended warranty available for the replacement, when they are offering it on other devices. I think I will keep this phone as my own insurance policy..
I ended up using best buy black tie program because they gave me a phone on the spot. I didn't say I lost it, just gave them the broken phone. I was pretty frustrated yesterday when my TB failed!
Just brick it and say you downloaded an application and it shut off your phone and thats what came up

Well I got it the 15th so Im outside of verizon's 14 day policy. Your saying if I dont tell them I dropped it they might replace the phone? You cant even tell I dropped it, the best buy lady was like why is your phone so useless? (its basically already bricked but now S-On, only going to boot screen)
Anyone try replacing a digitizer yet? Best Buy wants 30 days, plus 5 days for shipping, plus x amount of extra days cause their system was down for replacements....Im just getting so lucky, lol. I was hoping they were doing the 3 day rapid exchange, only on crapple phones though.
Link for $40 digitizer- http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/39....zer-for-htc-thunderbolt-4g-incredible-hd-6400
This will void my warranty huh?
Correct me if im wrong as I have not actually seen a TB disassembled but is it possible that a pin connection just jolted loose? I mean it seems must more feasible in my opinion..
That is always possible. I have seen it b4. My wife has a plasma tv that just quit the day after bestbuy return policy. They were gonna send a tech, but it was gonna be a week or more. So I pulled it off the wall and tore into it. They never pushed the lock down on the ribbon cable! Been fine ever since.

If I were you Id tell them the screen simply "Just Stopped working". From the looks of it nothing is cracked or broken so they couldent claim you did it.
I know, I know. Im a horrible dishonest person who makes things expensive and make people kill themselves.
So let me get this right. You were cheap so you didn't buy a case. Then YOU dropped it onto cement and expected to just pick it up and it to work fine. Then you go to Verizon and tell them you lost it so you can get a new phone plus keep the old one you know the one that YOU dropped. You are so freaking ridiculous. I hope you drop your new phone on carpet this time and it breaks. People these days, really.

I agree... They need to get rid of phone insurance and let people be more careful.
I would think from such a short drop it wouldn't be such a drastic result as the touchscreen failing. I mean, you must have dropped it "just right" for that to happen, I would think.
I accidentally dropped my BlackBerry down a flight of stairs at work and there wasn't even a scratch!
But I can see how a 4.3 inch screen could be more susceptible to damage than a BlackBerry.
Just remember, karma can be a *****, so pay it forward and be honest. You reap what you sow.
i'm sure some of you have seen my posts about all this, but basically i accidentally "damaged" my Thunderbolt and even though i've been with Verizon only 6 months, they've allowed me to get a new phone at discounted price.
i went ahead and ordered the Bionic and it'll be here friday. i did want the razr more(and still do sort of), just once i found out about the non-removable battery i was really put off.
now that i'm sitting here waiting i keep thinking about the razr for some reason. should i just stick with the bionic or return it and get the razr?
my thunderbolt does still work, there's just this water-like smudge on the bottom left corner of the screen. i'm fix it eventually(and keep it as a back up phone).. just keep going back & forth with these new ones.
argh !!!... if i'm thinking about the razr that much it means i should just get it huh?
Razr. You know you'll only want it latah.
Side question, did they let you keep unlimited data, if you have it?

Just my opinion - dude you are crazy if you get the Bionic. Radio shack (rumor I just read) isn't even going to sell the Bionic anymore. The Bionic is awesome if there was no Razr. But there is a Razr. The Bionic would have been awesome if it had got released when it was originally supposed to. But since it got delayed for what - like a year?
Personally I am waiting for the Galaxy Nexus (at least if we really do get it). No locked bootloaders for me.
Again - this is all just my opinion. And who am I? Just another nobody on the internet.

Yeah i keep hearing that about both the Bionic and the RAZR. All i know is im not going to wait around for the Galaxy Nexus and i have no interest in the iphone 4S(well, maybe some interest in Siri...)
Regardless, with the Thunderbolt my main concern was speed. No matter what ROM i used, i always used apps like AntTek App Manager, BAMF Settings, Titanium Backup, etc to freeze &remove stuff i didnt use & then SetCPU(with appropriate kernals) to overclock.
All the other things like design/interface, etc came 2nd. Im hoping with these dual core phones that even being stuck on stock(for now) everything should run nice and smooth without having to change anything.
Yes though, i do have the itch to experiment for the fun of it. Luckily i will still have the good ol' TBolt. Its my favorite phone next to the HD2(not stock of course).
I am waiting for Rezound (Vigor) or since my Bolt is still working great the first phone to come out with the new Qualcomm chip set next year is said to use 75% less power.

Definitely go for the Razr. It looks really, really nice. I'm more interested in the Nexus because of Ice Cream Sandwich but I'm stuck with the Thunderbolt.
another vote for passing on the Bionic. Sadly, it's already being left in the dust. Personally, I'd gladly go for the Razr. It's pretty sexy, but any of the new phones coming out soon would be great. The Bionic was supposed to be the king, but when it finally was released, it's almost like a stopgap phone until the Razr.
Off topic, but if/when they do get the razr rooted and all the goodies, what happens on a lockup? No removable battery, no battery pull. Let it sit out till the battery dies and probably burn the screen? Maybe I'm being too worrisome, but that doesn't sounds fun to me. It does look really nice though, looks and specs wise!
I have the Bionic and TB...
I would say Razr because its not using a Pentile display! That is my biggest complaint about this Bionic, even though there are other issues.

Good point. It's probably hard to say since it's not even out yet, but there will probably have to be some way to force reboot it. Nothing's impossible, but it doesn't sound like Moto/VZW will be going out of their way at all to make it mod-friendly.

Wow man, bring that thing back and wait for the Razr. The screen on the Bionic is absolutely awful. If you keep the Bionic, you will kick yourself once you see the Razr in comparison. The battery life is also expected to be much better with the Razr, who cares if you can't take it out...Oh, and the Razr is water resistant.
My TB has also suffered water damage. So my next phone will be either the Razr or Nexus, since my TB is still mostly working (speaker is shot, minor screen issues) I have the luxury of taking my time and comparing them side by side. I need a rooted phone, so that will factor in as well.

Got another One X last weekend. I checked the screen thoroughly in store to make sure it was flawless. I have now however noticed that there is a spec of dust under the screen. It was definitely not there when I checked it in store, spent ages on a solid white background making sure.
So is there anyway I can try and get rid of it. It got there on its own somehow so I must at least be able to move it off the side of the screen one way or another. It's no big deal if I can't get rid of it as its hardly noticeable in every day use.
I have tried gently tapping the screen and knocking it on its side but it hasn't moved so far. I don't want to try to hard encase I damage the phone. Don't want to try and take the phone apart and attempt to separate the touch component from the LCD and try either as the phone is so new.
Att will exchange for dust under the screen. But. When the phones been on and in use allowing the screen to get warm about 30 minutes lightly tap in the opposite direction. Should move the dust out.
Work on my iPhone back in the day. :/

Um not to be a complete **** but after working retail for 6 years as a store manager for At&t and several years in I.T / EE / and project management. The chances of you running into 9 defects of a single model and brand new replacements are are probably slimmer than you getting struck by lightning and winning the lottery together. I would start asking myself am I OCD, do I have dementia, should I be ruling out Delirium..
Ok, sorry I'm being an ass. Just saying.. you either have the worst luck in the world. I read your post completely wrong, or; its you. Either way hope you get it figured out. This phone really is something extraordinary.

My first had dead pixels and a yellow spot. Second had creaking and a rattle. 3rd dent in the lcd panel under the digitizer.The next 5 I unboxed in store. Some had dead pixels and the others had bad dust under the screen.
I didn't tell them were the dust or pixels were, just that there was something wrong with the screen, they pointed them out. The dust under this one is nothing like the ones I unboxed in store a while back, some specs were almost as big as the dot on the letter i which is why I'm going to stick with this one.
I don't think it's to much to ask to get one without dust under the screen seeing as how there are many out there with defect free phones. I feel like I am entitled to the same experience as them, paid the same hard earned money as them after all.. I suspect though that many probably have dust etc but have either not noticed or choose to live with it.
Your right about the phone being extraordinary, which is why I haven't stuck with a refund. Really no going back after you have had a phone like this.
Edit: check this forum out. I'm not the only one with issues and multiple returns. It's a shame so many are having repeat issues.

This guy worked in retail & engineering and the bases of his argument is the fact he thinks dust and imperfections are ludicris for someone to complain about! Now if he worked at the HTC manufacturing plant where they made these phones and can honestly produce manufacturing data depicting margins of error of defect in the manufacture of these devices in several respective categories then we can break the odds down mathematically and prove whether this poster is full of $hit, delusional etc!
Until then I'll keep lolling @ the response It was good
He's got a point... Say the odds of you getting a messed up screen is 1 in 1000... Multiply .001 by itself 9 times. Those are the odds of you actually getting 9 broken phones in a row.
Edit... It's 1x10^-27.... So yeah, you'd win the lottery a couple of times.

Got my Droid Maxx last night as I ordered it from VZW a few days ago.
I was shocked to see the left side of the phone has a pretty significant gap. So much that when I squeeze the phone it comes together and makes a clicking/popping noise.
VZW is already sending a replacement as the local store doesn't have any in stock. The VZW salesperson at my local store also agreed that the phone should be gapless and not creak/crunch when touching the left side.
Unfortunately, I dont have a camera that is capable of taking a pic of it as the phone is black so its nearly impossible to see in a pic.
Anyone else seeing this issue ?
Not me. Glad are they fixing no questions asked.

This is great news to me! Ha ha. No but really I have the exact same problem. And it does make the sound too. And the otterbox commuter case they gave me has a big gap on the rubber at the bottom by the back button. Guess I'll ask for a replacement?
FWIW I posted on the forums at Motorola and got a response from the forum manager so maybe they are going to investigate.
I certainly could not go two years (or even a month) with this issue. If replacement shows any sign of this problem then I will exchange for different phone.
I grow more attached to the Maxx every day but this creaking on a brand new device is killing the experience. With otterbox its even more pronounced and makes the phone feel hollow and cheap.
I will update as soon as replacement shows up tomorrow.
Surprised since this phone has a incredible build quality. The only thing I hate about this phone is the power button feels like crap that's it.

After calling verizon I was sent to a corporate store to exchange. The ppl were all hesitant to go ahead and do it. I'm like really? I rarely return anything.
The notifications were all messed up not just the volume unsynced with the ring volume but it would only beep not play the ring tones.
After looking at a new in box maxx, I was dissatisfied. The gaps on it were worse than what I have now. So hopefully a software patch is released for the volumes.

Got Replacement... Same Issues!!!
Received replacement from VZW last night...
Same exact issue which leads me to believe this is in deed a build quality issue.
Both phones have the same gap between the back of the screen and the phone back. If you slightly squeeze the left side, you can see it moving and separating.
Both phones have a click/creak about half way up the left side.
I use an otterbox which unfortunately, changes from rubber to plastic right at the point the click happens and results in a hollow feeling.
Is it livable ? Yes, but it's really annoying.
There is also a lot of flex on the back of the phone (both the same).
Terrible. The other ones I looked at were even worse than mine.

Quite a few people are now complaining of the gap issue. Not to mention there is no way in hell this device is water resistant with the gaps.
Not to mention, the volume rocker is very loose and makes noise with the slightest touch. Probably due to the fact that it hides the SIM card holder and is very fragile.
People are complaining of light bleed at the bottom of the device.
And I have noticed that the capacitive buttons are very inconsistent in brightness compared to each other.
I was loving active notifications but at this point forget it. Time to exercise my Worry Free Guarantee.
I was lucky enough to get a tier 2 tech support at vzw to recommend return/exchange as well as noting it in my account.

I haven't examined mine. The reason I haven't, is that I'm OCD and will most definitely find SOMETHING on any phone I get. I'm embarrassed to say this, but I've actually worked on this with my therapist, lol. All I did was check it for dead pixels. I'm putting it in a case tomorrow and am going to try my hardest to not check for defects.

I haven't examined mine. The reason I haven't, is that I'm OCD and will most definitely find SOMETHING on any phone I get. I'm embarrassed to say this, but I've actually worked on this with my therapist, lol. All I did was check it for dead pixels. I'm putting it in a case tomorrow and am going to try my hardest to not check for defects.

LOL @ OCD.
Well, for all us OCD folks, I highly recommend the Otterbox Defender. We got them for free (normally $50 each) from a TMobile rep hook up via telephone sales. They also gave us Puregear Extreme Impact custom fit screen protectors too ($25), free, in case we did want to use the Otterbox (which also has a screen protector anyway).
Does anybody else have a small gap at the bottom? I mean where the module pops out.

I have a tiny gap. I can only see it if I shine a light behind it and look directly at it but it is there.
I really love the phone so not sure if I should care or not.

It sucks doesn't? I legit have it to (I absolutely hate when people joke about having it. It's awful and not fun. Every minute of the day is a struggle..). I obsess over every phone I buy. I've also been working on not checking for things.

For me, it's not a problem about what will happen to the phone if I drop it or anything, it's more about obsessing over there being a problem with it right after opening it up. Screen coloration issues, scratches, etc. And the worst part is having that thought that, "Well I could exchange it and get a perfect one. There's always that chance." That's never worked out. I've returned and exchanged so many phones just from obsessing. The solution is to just use the phone. Not matter what. The 4th R: (read the book Brain Lock for info on the 4 R's). Do what you would be doing if you weren't having this obsession.
Easier said than done lol.

I ended up checking it for imperfections, and....I couldn't take it. I swapped out for an HTC 10. =/
