Finally, Thunderbolt owners will get GB! HTC says September!

How do you solve "a lot of it's problems" when it doesn't have a lot of problems to begin with? Or are two or three minor issues considered "a lot?"

There are many - but - in particular - will the audio in video recording be fixed? I went to an annual event this past weekend and recorded some terrific video with muffled audio. ALL completely useless. Memories I'll never get back now.

I actually told this to a customer in a store once while I was having a meeting with a store manager, so this made laugh.



I don't think people are looking for Gingerbread to solve any problems. In fact, I have never even heard that said once. The Thunderbolt at this point is fairly stable. What people are looking for with Gingerbread is maybe some added functionality and maybe a slight increase in battery life, but mostly we are all tech junkies, so having the newest thing is an addiction. How many times have you heard someone wanting ICS on the Thunderbolt on this forum? Its not because of the functionality as much as it is just getting whats new and shiny.

Nah it really does fix some things. Overall smoothness etc too.

I say we'll get it sometime before the 30th.

Haha yea.

Again, not every phone is messed up, my stock Froyo recorded videos quite fine, and still works with GB.

I am waiting for the GB update also to have a great shiny new OS, after the update this summer which fixed the rebooting issue, I have found no big issues at all.

I've said a number of times that the radio/switching still needs improvement. Even after MR2. And, GB will update the radio. Even if it only updates the 3G radio (from what I've heard) that can still help the overall switching and loss of data connection.

This phone just never lived up to it's hype. And please I know some of you take it personal when somebody criticizes your phone but I am a Thunderbolt owner too. It's just a device! To the point of the topic I don't care for GB at this time I'm just looking to jump ship.

I don't take it personal, I've just never had an issue. I get solid battery life, signal has always been good, and never a random reboot. It's done/does every thing I expected it to when I purchased it. I know some people take it personal when you don't jump on board and criticize the phone.

Maybe you should take the right tool for the job next time - smartphones are akin to swiss army knives, they do a lot of things marginally adequate.

iPhone 5?

 

[angel35]

How many people that have a Thunderbolt in this forum are optimistic that the GB update will solve a lot of it's problems?

 

[angel35]

It will do nothing. Just a wate

 

[angel35]

And me. Yay! the Tbolt.

 

[angel35]

I have no problems on this phone.Works well at all times It's a T.bolt It's just great

 

[Maypo]

Best phone ever....no problems for me....Droid Incredible before this.
Definitely not the buggiest phone I have ever had....that award goes to the Blackberry Storm1.

+1, +1 Ugh, BB Storm 1 was such a pain.

I got a bit interested in battery technology when I got my first smartphone a while back and read that a group of geniuses at MIT patented a way to charge a lithium ion battery in seconds by developing a way for the ions to quickly return to the cell. Now I may not be saying that right because I'm no genius but the point is a few years from now the technology will advance to a point where you go from 20% life to 100% in a few seconds making it a non-issue. This could not only change how we can use our hand held devices but also automobiles could take a huge leap forward if we can go from filling up with gasoline to charging our battery at rest stops.

Okay then. That's it. I'm waiting to use my upgrade on one of these new magic-battery phones.

Dinc people are saying that they have a lot of bugs with apps not working. Hope they fix it before it is pushed to us.

My opinion on this is concentrate on what we do have and not on what we don't. It will happen when it is released and all the complaining in the world isn't going to make it happen any sooner. They are not going to neglect this awesome device.
