Scary to hear. I don't have a backup if mine brakes, sold my last phone to help fund the Bolt, would have to pray Verizon had one readily available.

Lol. I dunno, no predictive text, no spell check, and you have to press each button deliberately. Kinda slows down the texting. Not to mention the 305 incoming text capacity. lol.

Just checked them. The 8100 wont charge. It might be my charger, it might be the port. So, that ones out. Besides poor battery life from the other two, nothing. The BB is probably the most functional of them besides my enV3 which works as it did when it was brand new. lol.

asurion

I broke my htc thunderbolt screen last month and sent my phone to asurion to get a replacement. I was wondering if they still have thunderbolts in stock or if I will be receiving a different phone?

Anyone's guess but I don't think they still have the TB... usually Asurion will give you the next ****tiest (oldest really) phone closest to yours, so Rezound or Droid Incredible 4G LTE or dinc2 if it's 4G...something like that, don't expect a Nexus or RAZR. :/

i got a tbolt a few months ago

I got one in a few weeks ago. Yes, you will get a refurbished Thunderbolt. They are still stocked.

If they are out of stock (which they probably aren't) they'll do what jimmy said and give you the next phone up that's a refurb. They typically won't let you get a different brand unless you complain a lot about the current brand and even then you might have to go through that at least three times. I went through this several times with warranty replacements of my wife's Motorola droid 3. Not asurion of course but they have basically the same process. They wouldn't let me exchange it for anything different at all. My wife finally sold that garbage and she ended up getting an iPhone 4s that she complains about on a daily basis.

If there's something I learned doing business with Asurion - once you get a refurbished phone, you will probably get 2-3 more with worse issues until you finally get a new phone.
I hope you have better luck than I.

I'd say that you are very lucky. When I originally had the original Moto Droid - I had to get a total of 3 refurbs each having their own issues before I finally got one that was brand new. So consider yourself saved from the agonizing pain of Asurion

Just got a replacement bolt sent out today, I should have it tomorrow... Was really hoping for a Rezound

Yea I was hoping they were out of stock but my usb port is screwing up bad and the phone isn't wanting to charge.. I'm going to really go over the new one and if there's anything wrong with it at all I'm going to call and see if they'll give me the Rezound

Comperable phones to our beloved Tbolt are the Samsung droid charge (which is a SGS1 with 4g), and even worse, the LG Revolution. I'd be leery of them trying to swap you out for one of those crap piles.

For Those Upgrading To The HTC DNA

I've been searching for the lowest prices for the HTC DNA and stumbled upon this deal and figured I'd share it with you guys.
The HTC DNA for only $119.99... probably the best deal out there right now.
If you use coupon code TALK4TEN it MIGHT lower the price to $99.99, but it didn't work for me. Anyways, I figured it would maybe be worth a shot for you since it has worked for many other people... but it MAY have expired.
Enjoy guys.

That price is so low, it's like a trick you play on old people!
I just posted this.

Why would anyone buy another HTC phone after this? Maybe you'll get Android 5 in 2015.

Sent from my ThunderBolt using xda premium

My Thunderbolt is not horrible. I am a power user and while I have had problems with mine, the worst issues were with custom roms. Data drops were fixed with a new SIM card. I do have an extended battery that lasts all day. I was ready to throw this phone against a wall when I kept having issues with different roms. I had to remove root because the company I work for requires MobileIron to connect to our exchange server. Since I have been back to factory condition the phone actually works pretty well!

Agreed! I love my TB. I have flashed so many ROMS i can not even keep them all straight. I have been stuck with Liquid ICS for a few months and it has been FANTASTIC! I flashed the most recent dual radio last night and hope it clears up the data in/out issues i have had. I would love them to fix the video camara and netflix at some point but from what i read Liquid isn't working on the project anymore. Is that true?
I have an extended battery and with Liquid i get at the very least 16 hours of use including some standby time. Liquid's rom made a world of difference on battery life.
In any case i am fairly new to this forum. Played over at CM with their rom for a while and still have it on my Touchpad. Love that rom!
Anybody know of a good rom for Droid X by Motorola? I rooted and installed one on my wifes a few months back but know it isnt perfect. I cant recall what it is at the moment but if anyone has had a good experience with a Droid X rom please share.

It looks like that same website (justmywireless.com) is having a one day only sale on the 18th.
They do not show the promotional prices yet
Judging by the reply in the blog, I am assuming it's going to be a big sale
I've been wanting to get the DNA, I guess I will wait until the 18th
Thanks for the link

As a DNA user who loves his phone, it's arty if you're going to wait till the 18th I'd wait till the m7 odds announced on the 19th just to see if and when it's coming to Verizon. That's just me, but unless you're hellbent on the DNA, ous wait to see if the DNA+ it's right around the corner.

I went back to the site (justmywireless.com) to see if there were any hints as to the sale price. They have it in sneak peek mode...I picked up the DNA for me and Galaxy 3's for my wife and son.....I paid $160 for all 3!!
They even have Galaxy 3 (white and brown) renewed units for free with upgrade....I was seriosuly thinking of going that route for my son, but in the end paid 44.99 for his new one.
The m7 is going to be priced too high I'm sure, that's why I didn't wait.

I remember hearing that the deals on wirefly and amazon were so good because their penalties were so high and because they technically count as a premium reseller, and thus you have to go to then with warranty issues and whatnot instead of going to Verizon. I wonder if this reseller is the same.

Anyone got the grey Pure XL yet?

I placed an order on the grey version last Friday but no ETA yet. The gold version is in stock though.

On Amazon I placed order for gray phone it was placed on back order. I canceled that order on Sunday. Placed new order Monday and it went straight thru. Phone will be here today Wednesday.

Still no shipping notification on either order :banghead:

The Gold has gone out of stock and then back in stock while the Grey has remained out of stock the entire time. I called Blu's sales office (who lied on release day about it being Amazon's fault) and again they said that it was Amazons fault and i needed to contact them to see when the phone would be available. These freakin people, how do you run a company like this?

Btw, i do question onemotodroids assertion that he received his grey unit as no pics or supporting evidence were given while I cannot find anyone else out there claiming to have received one.

Then you won't mind posting a photo?

Do you guys have Prime? I do, for me the gold one is always in stock, at least every time I look. It's in stock now.
The screen on the Pure XL is outstanding for reading. Yes, it's better than the N6. I just need root!
I will install an AT&T Sim in the XL on Saturday and see if I can live workout root as a DD.

No one is saying the gold is not in stock and available now. Some of us are skeptical about your claim to have purchased and received the *grey* Pure XL from Amazon without waiting. The grey has never been in stock according to Amazon's web site are there are people who have pre-ordered and have been waiting for it from the first day the page was up (Oct 19) without any word of availability from Amazon. It seems improbable to us that you simply ordered it last week and received it in a couple of days as you claim. So we'd like you to post a photo of your grey Pure XL.

Anyone kind of wondering whether or not the Grey edition actually exists? Its now over a month since the 'launch' date, the gold unit has been in and out of stock several times on Amazon with no sign of the Grey aside from the "Temporarily out of stock" label that hasnt changed once. The way that they keep blaming Amazon when its clearly NOT THEIR FAULT really makes me wonder what a company like this is capable of. If the Grey unit never shows, and it was only the Gold all along, I guess i just wouldnt be surprised one bit at this point.
Edit: Come to think of it, I dont believe that ive seen any video reviews of this phone that werent the Gold version.

Amazon just sent me an ETA for Nov 11 for the grey phone I ordered on Oct 23!

Man, that's how I felt with the gold and pre order, not pre-order dilemma. My decision to wait a day to do my pre-order cost like one extra day which at that point had already been way past the whole 9/29 original date was my feeling. Phone is worth it. You'll love it. Now, I wonder if the black will ever surface. Fortunately I wanted the gold to begin with!

Warranty exchanges

So my gear vr finally came in and of course my USB port on my phone didn't work. The power side worked but no data plus I use wireless charging so would have never really known. Called t-mobile to get a warranty replacement and they sent me a brand new note 5. Mine is the 64gb blavk model. Worked out perfect too Cuz my SPEN was broken.
Just wanted to let you all know that I don't think the have refurbished phones available yet in at least the 64gb version.

I did a warranty exchange like 2 weeks ago for my 64gb white model and got a refurbished . Consider yourself lucky.

I tend to agree here, glad the op got a new one but I never understood the hate towards refurbished devices. At least from my experience, I couldn't ever find a sign of use on one's they had sent me. Always looked brand new, same warranty, getting accessories is a plus tho.

I'm weird and OCD. I don't like used things but it's because my OCD tells me someone has beaten the crap out of whatever it is. And the fact that someone else already used it creeps me out. I know is weird as heck and it's something I've been working on with my shrink.
It's the same reason I don't use public rest rooms. [emoji32]

My problem with returbs is that the 2 I've ever received (an HTC One S and a Galaxy S4) in the past both came with knockoff 'OEM' wall chargers. One failed almost immediately with a puff of smoke, the other charged super slow and got really hot while doing so. And the only reason I thought to even check the second one was because of the 1st one, otherwise who knows what damage it could have done. I ended up throwing both out, but how many people got one of those and didn't notice anything was wrong only to have it damage their phones?
