    Update Issues

    After the update I can't access the Music folder on the SD card. When I click on it in ES File Explorer I get an error message: Login fails: This may be caused by: Comparison method violates its general contract. WinAmp still plays my music but I can't access the folder to copy . I haven't tried...

    Keyboard issues after ICS update AND factory reset.

    I had this happen a few months ago. An entire column from top to bottom stopped working for no apparent reason. It worked Saturday night and by Sunday morning without doing anything to the phone it stopped responding. I couldn't use the O, K or M keys or any icon in a line in that column. Even...

    Why does my TB have 4G speeds that are half of what the S3 has?

    With my original TB I was only able to get 7 down at best; I don't recall my upload speed but I believe it was 5 using the Speedtest app. Even after a factory reset no change. I did the contact cleaning routine but no change. I had my TB replaced a couple of months ago for a non-responsive...

    my replacement Thunderbolt

    I had to replace my original TB about 2 weeks ago because the column of the screen where the 9, o, k and m keys are located became unresponsive. I did all the usual stuff to try to get it work but something happened overnight and that column became unresponsive. It worked fine on Friday night...

    shorted out y key

    I had the same thing happen to me 2 weeks ago. I went to bed Friday night and on Saturday morning I couldn't type the letters o, k or m. The whole column was dead from top to bottom. I couldn't swipe up and down that column without the screen jumping around. I use Swiftkey 3 as my default...

    ADWLauncher EX vs Rooting/Roms

    I used ADW EX on a stock TB and love it. I like the customizations and don't have the issue of Sense crashing every time I close an application which got really annoying. I tried a couple of others but always went back to ADW EX. I haven't noticed any battery issues but I run the Rezound battery...

    Sense reloads when exiting apps

    I had this issue a lot and it seemed every time I exited any application Sense would crash and restart. Even though I had not installed any new apps or updated any apps for a while suddenly, without explanation or reason, Sense would crash every time I exited any app. It was quite annoying...

    White screen with HTC logo

    I had that all the time until I switched to ADW launcher. Since then I haven't seen the white HTC screen. I had to factory reset my phone because of an SD card issue and haven't re-installed ADW yet and Sense crashes all the time. Most annoying. Once I get my replacement SD card I'll re-install...

    Slow dialer response

    I've always had slow response from the dialer especially if I'm listening to music or I Heart Radio when the phone rings. If my phone rings and I press the button on my headset it usually takes 2 to 3 rings to respond by then the call has gone to voice mail. Most annoying. Bill

    Really Annoying Issue Charging and Connecting to PC

    You can try Dropbox for moving your files if the connection to your PC won't work. It's a bit of a pain moving files around but that might get you through until you get this resolved. I think there's a 2GB storage limit for the free account so you may need to move files then delete stuff to keep...

    Random Advertising icon in notification

    I Googled around and found a couple of hits on a couple of apps that might be causing this. There is an app called Wicked Songs Lite which is some kind of music app and an MP3 music download app, no specific name was referenced. Perhaps you installed something like that in the past few days? Bill

    Dock mode issue

    Odd, I don't have that setting on mine whether in the dock or running the app when not docked. My first option is auto-connect. I'm running stock, unrooted. Bill

    New Tbolt owner here: 3G or 4G?

    I leave mine on 3G even though I'm in a good 4G area all the time. I recently got the Rezound battery (2, actually) and did some experiments with 3G vs 4G and found about a 10% to 15% difference. On the way to work I use the I Heart Radio app for about an hour, then again for an hour at lunch...

    Random Advertising icon in notification

    I had the same problem after I updated MySettings a couple of days ago except I had a red star. I suspected MySettings so I installed AirPush Detector which confirmed my suspicions. I uninstalled MySettings and no more spam in my notification bar. I hope that helps. Bill

    Do you leave bluetooth on?

    I leave bluetooth, WiFi and GPS on all the time. I've never turned those off so I can't say if it helps with battery life or not. Bill

    Rezound battery fits the ThunderBolt for $19.99

    I think this was the best accessory I've purchased for my phone. On my morning commute I listen to about an hour of I Heart Radio on 3G. With the stock battery I would go from 100% to around 82 to 85% normally. With the Rezound battery I'm usually at 96% to 98% when I get to the office. Even...

    (3) Rezound 2750mah ext battery + ext battery charger $10,fits tb

    Re: (3) Rezound 2750mah ext battery + ext battery charger $10,fit They must have figured this out because I'm not seeing the extended battery for the Rezound when I list all accessories. I tried searching for Rezound batteries and only come up with 4 results, the extended battery isn't one of...

    Rezound battery fits the ThunderBolt for $19.99

    I tried to order 2 and they came up $29.99 each. I changed the quantity to 1 and it came up $19.99. I did log into my account but for whatever reason it didn't apply my 25% corporate discount. To order 2 I had to do 2 separate transactions which is no big deal. Bill

    1620mAh battery from the Rezound works well

    I just ordered 2 but when I did a quantity of 2 it showed a price of $29.99 before my 25% corporate discount. I redid the order but this time I only ordered 1 and it came to $19.99 before tax but no 25% discount showed for some reason. I did 2 separate transactions to get each for $19.99. Pain...

    sense crashing all the time?? any fix??

    I don't have the issue of Sense force closing but 90% of the time when I exit an app, such as K9 mail, calendar, etc. I see the green HTC on the white background then "loading" before going back to the main screen. Is this Sense crashing? It did this sometimes before the GB update but now it's...
