I have now received my FOURTH "certified like new replacement" for my unusable-due-to-reboots thunderbolt. Each replacement has had some major build flaw. Creakiness, scratched screen, major light leakage. You name it. After ranting and raving when the Verizon supervisor offered some non-4G...

so, like many of you, my thunderbolt has been re-booting and/or switching itself off FAR too regularly since the OTA. like a LOT. verizon oh-so-generously offered to send me a certified "like new" replacement. no.1 came - horrible light leakage. unacceptable. sent back. no.2 came - tiny...

my phone has been rebooting since the OTA. what sucks more is sometimes it just turns itself off without turning back on. since i use my phone as an alarm clock this is NOT COOL. on the verge of calling verizon and insisting on a new, non-refurb phone. assuming i can just switch out micro...

sorry you're right. "no lock" is the app. looking for a free widget to shut the screen off sans power button but i'm pretty sure i can easily program this with tasker in one way or other.

also, just downloaded the "no lock" app. uses the volume rocker to wake screen. my only concern is whether it'll be a battery drain. we shall see. then again i might go in to verizon tomorrow and check out other units to compare.

how flush is your power button?

loving my 'bolt... HOWEVER my power button although not COMPLETELY flush with the phone is pretty darned close and i fear constant use to activate the screen will only make it become more recessed. have read that some thunderbolts have more raised buttons than others. wondering if that's the...

any tasker users out there on the thunderbolt? wondering what y'all have used to program your phone...

nice replies folks. even though i have mine i keep reading complaints and reviews and am trying not to psyche myself out. now i'm listening hard for white noise during calls (so far call quality has been great) or whether my volume rocker is mushy (nope) or if my screen colors are washed out...

wondering what y'allz opinion is on this. i have both winamp and poweramp downloaded. i REALLY like poweramp but can't decide if it's worth the money over winamp, which is perfectly serviceable. thoughts?

sounds like there are a multitude or quirks and complains and full-on serious issues out there with fellow early adopters so i wanted to start a thread for those who are happy with their purchase. count me among them. the battery life isn't great but mine has been better than expected. i also...

just started a tasker thread, but was wondering if anyone else uses this to customize their phone? it really helps with programming your 'bolt to minimize battery consumption among doing many many other things as well.

wondering if anyone else uses the AMAZING tasker app. although my battery thus far has been fine - not GREAT but totally acceptable - i find that you can really tailor your phone to your needs with tasker. anyone else using it on their 'bolt?

there's been a ton of talk about skype and tango and qik but i haven't seen if anyone else has used their 'bolt for yahoo video chat yet. i tried it out last night and it worked great!!

these stories of dreadful rapid battery drainages are puzzling to me. granted, my battery hasn't been AMAZING but it has been more than acceptable. not really doing have so far let the phone completely drain twice before recharging to 100 percent. no bump charging. plan on doing this a few...
