I have an old droid 2 i'd like to give to my daughter, but i can't seem to do anything with it. A long time ago i was going to sell it so i did a factory reset, but the person i was going to sell it to didn't show up so i just kept it. Now whenever i turn it on it only gives me the option to...

Walked outside in the rain today with the phone in my pocket. Thought my pockets didn't get too wet, but when i got home my phone just kept restarting over and over again. Is there anything i can do? This makes me sad! What the hell do i do on the toilet without angry birds?

Just thought i'd throw this out there since i was browsing phonedog and android central. Looks like s-off isn't too far away! "Got a newer HTC-made Android device whose bootloader you'd like to unlock? We've got some good news for you today, as HTC has announced on its HTCDev website that all...

I'm a little shocked sometimes when the stock browser on my rezound is, lag and smoothness wise, on the same level as my old thunderbolt. Pinch to zooming, scrolling, tapping. The lag is just confusing considering the power of this phone. Then i see the nexus. A phone with similar power and...

I'm not too worried about my privacy seeing as how i don't do anything questionable on my phone, but i think people do have a right to be upset about this considering nobody was ever told this was even going on in the first place. What do you HTC-ers think? "A security researcher has posted a...

I have an issue with phones. I don't know if there's some void i'm trying to fill in my life or if i'm trying to live out my fantasies of being in star trek, but when a new one comes out even with a small incremental barely even useful uprade, i jump on it. From the eris to the droid 2 to the...

Just wondering for a couple reasons. 1) Some have complained about a slight lag and feel this may be due to sense. Would be interesting to see if the lag went away wth golauncher and 2) i have a thunderbolt and just jumped on the golauncher train a month ago and am loving the hell out of it. If...

So, as opposed to everyone else who can't wait to get rid of their bolt for whatever slightly upgraded phone they pay full retail for, i love the crap out of mine. And my girlfriend is taking notice. So i'm on a mission to go out and buy a used bolt on craigslist for her. I've never bought...

Now i know people always say to take quadrant scores with a gigantic grain of salt, but this is a little confusing. Pre update, my phone got between 1700 and 1900. Now after the second Ginger update? 1390. Every single time. Yet with widget locker and go launcher loaded on there ...

By adding drm protection to my own stuff. Oddly enough, only on the pictures and videos i took of my mom when she came for a visit. Thanks thunderbolt. I didn't want to see pictures of my mom holding up her cat pictures anymore anyway. Old lady gets way too serious about her cats

Up until now, i've been straight gmail. Gmail address, gmail app. Perfect. Goes hand in hand. But i needed to get my xbox notifications at my hotmail address so i gave the htc mail app a try. Pretty cool for all of the 10 minutes i've used it. Loads entire messages + pictures without me having...

Just got done proclaiming my undying love for my bolt in another thread and i thought i'd jump in here and slather it with a little more. Up until my bolt, i've been a new phone every few months kinda guy. There was just always something that bugged me about whatever phone i had. My lg dare...

Up until this happened my bolt has been perfect. So to have this happen after a few months of worry free fun sucks. When i take video, it will periodically skip/drop frames. Let's just say i take a 1 minute video. at the 17 second mark, the audio will still be going but the picture will...

That little 4g icon popped up in my notification bar a couple weeks ago. Out of sheer curiousity, i switched off wifi for a week and used 4g exclusively at home to get an idea of what i'd be paying if i didn't get locked in unlimited data at just the right time. Looks like at this pace, i'd hit...

Just thought i'd clutter the forum with another thread. Recording video after the update is like a night and day difference. If this is all the update did, i would've been happy. Check the vid YouTube - HTC Thunderbolt sound test: Did update fix volume issue?
