    my Thunderbotl is extremely slow after an update this morning

    Thanks. I rebooted the phone last night and it's a little better but still so much slower than it was when I first got it. It's now recognizing my SD card so everything is pretty good for now. When I have a little time I'll just make sure anything that might be on the phone that I really want...

    my Thunderbotl is extremely slow after an update this morning

    I woke up this morning to my phone making a weird noise. I guess Verizon did some kind of automatic update. There's a new way to unlock the phone (swipe up instead of down), the Notifications screen is different, the phone/all apps/personalization icons are different etc. Worst of all, my...

    Google music

    I was browsing the music selection on Android Market and wanted to buy a full album. Since I listen to most of my music on my computer and iPod, I wanted to be able to save it to my computer's hard drive. I finally was able to do it one track at a time. A message box that appeared said...

    extended batterry for 20$

    I just got a Thunderbolt this week (ordered online) and they threw in the extended battery for free. I don't remember seeing anything about it on the web site when I placed the order.

    mobile network turns on by itself, can't turn off

    Thanks! I doubt I'll be streaming much video or music. I have an iPod Classic that's almost full (120GB) and a 32GB phone doesn't meet my music needs. The only time I'd stream video is if I was stuck somewhere with nothing to do. I guess I'll turn it back on and allow the mail programs and...

    Just because

    I actually ordered the phone online, but I did call Verizon first just to ask about something. The guy on the phone told me that they were having a promotion that doubled the 2GB data plan to 4GB but that's it. The extended battery seems like a workhorse but it is pretty bulky. I did put it on...

    mobile network turns on by itself, can't turn off

    Thanks for the answers. I was able to get it turned off by turning on airplane mode, then turning that off (the 4G connection was still on after turning airplane mode off) and then I turned WiFi on & off. That seems to have fixed it. I guess I'm worried about leaving it on because I don't...

    Just because

    I'm new to these forums and I just got a Thunderbolt. I have never had a smartphone before so I have nothing to compare it to. I got it because I was due for an upgrade and it was affordable, my boss has one and I read a lot of favorable things about it. I was a little amazed when I was in...

    mobile network turns on by itself, can't turn off

    Hi, I just got a Thunderbolt two days ago. Today I noticed that the Mobile Netwok 4G symbol was on although I know I had turned it off. My boss went through my settings and turned off a sync option and said it shouldn't happen again, but as I walked out of his office it reappeared. When I go...
