Oh good lord, here we go again! I'm still recovering from the sneak attack ICS update and here comes a "fix". I'll admit the fix for the first OTA update of my 1st day TB actually did fix the nightmare of that update, but the second update fix just made mine worse until they sent the "fix for...

Perhaps it would be better to post your question on a new thread. One related to rooted phones would be good. :) This seems to be one for doing a factory reset after the ics update.

Unobtanium, please forgive my rant where I may have stepped on some toes regarding "super users". While you may not think yourself as one, thru the years from when I dumped my BB Storm and joined the Android world, I have come to these forums to seek solutions and pick up tips on how my device...

Well, I promised I would save my rants about Verizon and updates for later, after I got my phone working. Thanks to Joy11, and a Verizon Customer Support person of all things, ITS TIME! :mad: With that said, I'm too F#$#@(% mad right now to formulate one that expresses all of my thoughts and...

HOLY COW, THAT WORKED!!!! Wow, do you know how many *#*@)$) hours I have put into researching how to fix this, and then how many $%@#$%^ hours I put into how to Factory Reset a phone when ALL of the uber-super-phone guys told me only a Factory Reset would fix this????? Joy11, I could kiss you...

All tips and tricks to do a FACTORY RESET (un-rooted) with least amount of collateral damage and time to set my Thunderbolt back up. ICS got me with one particular problem (mic dead, see other thread) but it seems from all of you great "Super Users" (thanks Mightyfacundo and Unobtanium and many...

Mightyfanundo: between you and Unobtainium, and a LOT of looking on Google, it seems all Super Users say the factory reset is the answer. Both of you have given good advice on some steps to make it less painful (You = save txt use MyBackup Pro and Play store "My Apps" reload"Unobtanium = screen...

Hey Unobtanium, thanks! Just what I was looking for. Hopefully 808 checks back and sees your advice. I think we both know way more about our TB's than we want, because we had to so it would work full potential. There are definitely others here who know a LOT more than I will, or want to. Lol...

Lol! Yeah, call your mom, mine says I never call enough and she's always tickled to death that I called and doesn't mind how often. But then again, I don't get a word in edgewise so I never know if the mics working. Ha! Seriously though, that sounds fascinating. So an interplay between ICS and...

Thanks for the reply mighty. I appreciate the sympathy (really!) I'm like 808 above though. I've never done a factory reset. Not only not sure how to do it, but very hesitant to lose data, photos, apps, and most important, over two years of tweaks I've done to my 1st day T-Bolt. Some I don't...

Well, not actually dead but.... Making calls, no one can hear me while I'm In regular phone mode. I hear them, they don't hear me. But, they can when I turn on the speaker. Also found that Bluetooth devices work fine. They can hear me, I can hear them. So, not a radio issue. Not being sure if...

So..... Since the update last night: My video no longer works. My outgoing voice on the phone mic no longer works, my phone is now slower than a Commador 64, the battery drained in less that 2 hours (have large capacity battery) and the wifi wont stay engaged. Yep, your right. Dont know what all...

deleting drafts Had the same problem. on my TB, I go to Messages -> Menu -> Drafts. It sounds like you dont see the Drafts button as a selection choice. Mine does and I can go into drafts, then hit Menu again and it gives me that option to delet drafts. once selected, you touch (select) each...

Helpful....

I found a bunch of theads elsewhere that said to update it, then go into settings and toggle Update Movie Catalog. It seemed to work. Oops, this was meant to be a response to someone about the Block Buster app to get it to quit updating. sorry
