    Post Would you trade your TB for a Droid Charge ?

    I think most of those comments are directed at the Galaxy S II, which is an impressive device when you read the specs and look at the previews. Unfortunately, it's still a Samsung as far as I'm concerned until they prove that their phones are made with common sense in mind (like not using that...

    Post TB 3g speeds

    It's not actually a different 3g, but a revision of the current 3g that allows for faster handoffs from 3g to 4g. Speeds should be the same as any other 3g phone. Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App

    Post Would you trade your TB for a Droid Charge ?

    Never, the Charge just seems like a pretty screen on an otherwise weak phone. I'm glad Adryn pointed out that without updates for the devs to build off, work is slow and difficult. I think that's something most people fail to realize. The Charge also hasn't been getting much attention, so I...

    Post Downloading from 115.com

    Agreed, if he actually stopped to understand the value of more people working with software, he would probably stop whining because he "didn't learn something." To answer your question, to the immediate left of the bright green button with the downward pointing arrow, there are roughly 3 links...

    Post What language would i have to learn for Android?

    Depends on what you're doing, apps and such are done in Java and XML, but the framework for android is done in C/C++ (best I can tell, I've never made mods to a rom or anything, maybe when I have more time in a couple of weeks). For C, I like King's book (and it seems to be a popular one)...

    Post [Q] Apps will not install or be restored [Solved]

    How do you have Amazon installed if you cannot install anything? Make sure you're actually wiping everything via clockwork. Aside from that, try unmounting your SD card and then installing, it's helped me a couple of times when my market decided to stop downloading.

    Post [Q] Apps will not install or be restored [Solved]

    This problem usually happens when you flash a ROM AND a custom script all at once. For instance, I noticed if I flashed das BAMF remix and the desense script in one session, I was unable to install apps. I would recommend always flashing the ROM, booting all the way up with no modifications to...

    Post Think Gingerbread will improve Thunderbolt Battery Life?

    You're a prime example of why Apple keeps things simple and gives their consumers much easier choices. Good for you. Now if only one of your 350,000 apps were an English tutor. Trolls keep trollin... On topic, I doubt Gingerbread will battery life much, but it should bring some improvements...

    Post Thinking Of Moving To The Thunderbolt Opinions Wanted

    I was a longtime ATT user (and Cingular before that, THOSE were the days) before switching for the TBolt. I enjoy the screen, better than my old Blackberry and since I mainly use texting/email on it instead of video, I actually prefer the screen to a SAMOLED. In theory, LTE SIM switching...

    Post [Q] 3G Speeds Test

    Out here in relatively small town Arkansas, I get 1.5MBs down and 0.52 up. Bolted!

    Post Consensus on new radio

    I've had a fair improvement in GPS locks, and a noticeable increase in battery life. I have a feeling that at least some of these complaints are tied to not using the proper GPS app fix, not wiping battery stats, etc. That being said, these leaks normally give some people headaches, which is...

    Post Analyzing Battery Usage

    40 mA is normal for a TBolt with the screen off, that's what most of them I've seen run at. Over 700 during usage seems a little high, were you doing something demanding? And check your brightness settings too. If your ROM has Spare Parts installed, you can go into Spare Parts -> Battery...

    Post Need Quick Widget Locker Help

    1) Go ahead and go into applications under the main phone settings clear all Widgetlocker data. What you're describing is Easy Wake mode though you say that it unchecked. WL's settings might have gotten screwy and clearing the data should set it straight. 2) Go into the advanced settings of...

    Post CyanogenMod: CM7 support for the ThunderBolt

    I for one cannot wait for this, though I know they have to figure out how to properly merge RIL. I thought it would be several more weeks before RIL even functioned though, so I'm betting sooner rather than later with these guys

    Post Anyone using the Verizon blue/red silicon case w/ hard cover?

    I have the red/black version and never had any issues with it. I have traditionally used Body Glove or Otterboxes, but this will be fine for a year or so until it wears out completely. IMO, the Body Glove for the Tbolt felt pretty poor, like one of my older BB Body Gloves that started peeling...
