    Thunderbolt wont search for update.

    Thanks for your help ncapp11! I called vzw and had the csr check the number that was registered as my phone. Sure enough it was the wrong number. He entered the correct number into the system, I did a batt and sim pull restarted phone and it found update on its own right away. Very happy now...

    Thunderbolt wont search for update.

    I had a broken screen and LED so got a brand new replacement and am trying to get the latest update. Unfortunately, when I press check new it looks like it searches for a couple of seconds and just stops with nothing to follow. My phone works great but the software is .9 not the latest offering...

    community's input

    I just had my 5th tb replaced due to a broken screen this time and it went through asurion. They were easy to work with and I received my remanufactured replacement the next day. Unfortunately it had the problem with the power button being basically flush with the top of the phone making turning...

    Engadget Awards 2011 - Tbolt is worst gadget of the year =(

    I have had my TB since day one when the store opened. I never suffered from the reboot issues but had two units replaced due to faulty proximity sensors which vzw promptly replaced. Since the last update and the rezound battery I couldn't be happier with my TB and I am confident that I will have...

    "HTC admits its bulky, quick-dying LTE phones kinda suck."

    I am very happy with my tbolt. It has been dependable and since GB the battery life with the rezound battery has been incredible. I consistently get a minimum of 16 hrs before I plug it in at bed time. I am a bit of a phone geek so I am always looking to see what's new and to date, I haven't...

    Suddenly Amazing Battery Life?

    I thought that maybe it was just me; but, the last 3 or 4 days my battery life has been awesome! I am currently 16 hours off charger and still at 47%. I saw an improvement when I put in rezound battery but this current battery life is unprecedented until the last few days. I had even double...

    Battery Won't Charge Fully - help!

    My original TB did the same thing. I had it since day 1 and all of the sudden about 3 weeks ago it started not fully charging. I call vzw and they walked me through the trouble shooting and said if still not charging tomorrow call back and we will send a new battery. Well, of course it didn't...

    Really weird battery usage on 4G vs 3G today

    I have been experiencing the same battery usage pattern that you describe in your post. I have tried a battery pull and no improvement. I am very concerned due to the fact that I have generally been content with the battery life on my TB. Today however, I have not been able to stray far from a...

    Mysterious battery drain

    I was having the same problem after the outage. I did double check the blockbuster app which was off, did a battery pull and restarted the phone. It has been fine since. It now sits at about 38 mah when at rest and averaging about 12 to 16 hours of moderate use before hitting 15%. So I am back...

    Mysterious battery drain

    I am having the same problem the past couple days. I have been getting between 10 and 16 hours on my bolt depending on 4 g and WiFi availability. Now within 3 to four hours I am looking for a place to recharge. When I looked at phone info and what's using battery it says Android system 66%. It...
