How is the bionic treating u guy's ....im up in the air with this... cause i love my tbolt..but really wanted the bionic...but at the time it wasnt out so i got the tbolt cause i wanted to be grandfathered in the unlimited data plan...but now the bionic is out im thinking about it...but also rumors about the htc vigor a.k.a incredible HD is said to be out soon. So now im in a dilema..lmao.. I know the only difference between the 2 is generally is diffrent UI, diffrent screens and 1 ghz dual core and other has 1.5 dual core....But would like other ppl input. I know it's more on what's my personal preference, but would like some of u guy's input....... Thanks in advance

I updated to the bionic from a thunderbolt and am very happy. I actually like the bionic screen better than the thunderbolts and the battery is
A little better. I really like the fact that I can see the display outside perfect. I am not sure if a am blind but I love the display and do not know why people complain about it. I bought the bionic thinking I would return it because I wanted the prime. I decided to keep it because it was the first phone I could use outside and see the display.
For what it is worth I will also be getting the prime when it comes out. I want to try it out and if I like it better the the bionic I will keep it.

Love my Bionic as well, I really love the screen as said above. I couldn't see the thunderbolts display outdoors, I dont have that problem with the Bionic.

The prime isn't coming to VZW and there's no official release date for the vigor. Get the bionic. You won't b disAppointed and you'll never keep up with technology anyway. Lol.
Some quad core 1080p display phone would drop right after you get the Vigor.

I endorse most of this comment. You're asking us to compare a phone that is out to one that isn't. There is always going to be the next big thing...
I'd say it boils down to this- do you like HTC/sense or Moto/blur more? There is your answer.

I got a Bionic to replace an ailing Charge with the intent to do exactly what you're describing and I very well may end up keeping it. I can't remember the last time I bought a phone and immediately formed the impression that this was a device that just might last the term of my contract.
I am coming from droid incredible.
I am planning to return my bionic right before the return window is up and wait for the Vigor.
I miss HTC sense wayyyy to much. I also dont like how when you pinch to zoom it doesnt auto fill text in the new window it just zooms in.
I can see diaplay outside which is nice but motorola just isnt for me. The zumocast hasnt worked so i cant comment about that except it doesnt work.
I think i was spoiled with HTC and Sense and dont like any other ui though.

@mistawolfe....think u might have a good point....i never used Moto/blur.....the tbolt is my first android phone...right now it rooted and im not even running a sense rom on it...but i did like sense....but droidth3ory turned me over to ASOP Rom.....but i do like sense....maybe ill try it out and see if i like it. I have to buy it out right with no contract...can i return it if i dont like it in the 14 days even if i buy it out right?

Coming from a tbolt it has been great. Screen, battery, & quality (of phone) are are better on bionic. Loved my D1, bolt failed me so was given bionic. I love that the extended battery doesn't add 3 lbs to phone. I'd love to get prime if/when that comes out for VZW, but who knows what will be out around christmas.

I think the vigor will be the better phone, depends on how good the battery is. Everyone knows htc and their batteries.
buy it at bestbuy instead. they got a 30 day policy that aligns with verizon's 30 day cancellation
I love my bionic. Its the best phone i ever had. Very satisfied with it had a facinate before bionic
I love my Bionic.. I've used alot of droid phones but all were Motorola so I guess my opinion might be a bit biased but my brother likes HTC phones and I've used his here and there and I prefer Motorolas build quality over anything and the Bionic is fast and has good battery life... this may be the first phone to last the term of my contract ..
I say pull the trigger and see how you like it .. best advice you can honestly get ..

If you buy it from Costco, you get 14 days to back out of the Verizon service (I might be wrong on this, could be 30), but 90 days to exchange the phone. I bought a Charge on July 3rd, exchanged it a few days later because I thought it was defective (turns out it just has a ****ty radio), and then exchanged it again for the Bionic a couple of weeks after it came out.

I have seen at least 2 credible people say that it is coming to Verizon. One of those people seems to have a system dump of the Prime so it looks like you are still the moron.
So after 7 months of being out. Official Verizon support for the LG Revolution is coming to an end.
So what are your thoughts on Verizon's ever so clear "6 month" life span?

EOL does not mean end of support from Verizon for this phone. They will continue to support it as long as you have a valid warranty.
EOL does mean that you will not be to walk into the Verizon store and purchase one. Once supplies run out that is it. You will still be able to buy refurb units and will receive them was warranty replacements for defective phones as long as inventory holds, which is a long time. In the Droid Eris community people got warranty refurb replacements over a year after EOL.
This may even drop the price on the unit so Verizon can clear their inventory, enlarging this community.

The Eris received several bug fix updates after EOL as I recall. EOL simply means the phone is no longer going to be for sale. I do agree however you will not see any OS upgrades.
This was also a tip and has of yet to be officially announced by Verizon.
There down to $99.00 on Verizon's website.
Wow, a phone that is obsolete in less than a year!
My last phone ran perfectly for over 4 years. That would be my expectation for the Revo.
You can get one for free through newegg. Verizon has been at me about upgrading recently. They say that my primary line is up for an upgrade. My wife should be up for one before me and she said her's isn't up till April.
Is the Revo a good 4G phone? It looks like it is very similar to my DINC minus the 8MP camera.

I would say it is an average phone. If I were up for renewal I would consider something newer however. Remember when getting your phone that it may need to last you 2 years. While there are many dedicated Revo owners here, you will find many that dumped the phone at first chance as well. I would personally go for a nexus, or one of the new dual core phones from Moto or HTC. While dual core will not serve you much right now... in a year from now, who knows.
In the end though it is what you can afford, like, and feel comfortable with.
From what I've read, ice cream sandwich makes use of multi core CPU's. So having a dual core phone like the Nexus would be advantageous.

Hey guys, first off let me remind everyone that I WILL be keeping my Revo. However, I am available for my upgrade as of right now and I'm having trouble picking between some phones. Please make your choice by voting in poll that has been posted up there ^^^^
Galaxy Nexus:
I can get this phone through Wirefly for only $229.
Razr: $149 through bestbuy
*Spectrum: $129 through wirefly
Razr Maxx: $229
Rezound: $179
I kind of don't want the Rezound because I don't want to go from a 4.3in. screen to a 4in.
I didn't really want to spend over $200 (which only leaves the Razr and Rezound)
I just want to know everyone's input. As you can see, my motivation behind my choices is that these phones either have, or will have ICS. I put the Spectrum on there simply because believe it or not, I could barely find any bad reviews for it on Verizons site (other than the obvious complaints about battery life). Other than battery life there were really no complaints about it but I really don't want to give LG another chance to screw me over with their support, or lack thereof.
Help me choose lol!!! I'll be buying my new phone tomorrow whichever one I get so please if you see this post, reply to it and help me out.
Thanks guys!
Nexus. Honestly it's the combination of 2 cell phone titans. I am sure they have a good community. The moto, well that is a powerhouse to itself, moto has been doing it longer than anyone. The RAZR was one of the best selling phones and you know moto don't mess around when it comes to their flag ship phones. That said Nexus is one of the most recognizable phone names ever and generally rightly so.
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
I'm torn between the razr maxx or the nexus. If i go with what i know, id choose the razr. Before the revo, ive always gone with Motorola (would have this time too, but the bionic wasnt out yet and i wanted to snag the unlimited plan before big red canned it). Never owned a samsung phone before so id be a little nervous in buying the nexus (but thats just me).
But then i look at the great experience ive had with stock android on my xoom.
If i had to choose right now, i think i would take a chance on the nexus just so i could relive the stock experience

Id go with the maxx. Pretty much an upgraded razrr. The nexuss however does have a big community, but so do all the other phones. The biggest selling point on the rezound is the headphones that come with it.

I would roll in this order.
Nexus - ICS and lots of dev
Rezound - Getting ICS and tons of dev
Razr Maxx - Getting ICS and killer battery tons of dev
Razr - Getting ICS tons of dev, battery life on par with revo.

I say either Razr Maxx or Razr or Nexus I'd only get the Rezound for the beats.
I think I'm going to go with the Razr and here's why.
1. It's half the price of the Nexus
2. Found a mod here on XDA on how to use the battery and door from the Maxx on the regular Razr
3. I actually like Moto devices (Blur is not an issue, that's why people make Launchers)
4. Gorilla Glass
5. Water repellent
6. Kevalr back (the backs of my phones always get scratched up)
7. Smart Actions
8. Smaller community than the Nexus (i really hate large communities where everything is a big jumbled cluster f**k of information)
So that's gonna be it, I'll be getting the Razr so if anyone else gets it, you can look forward to seeing my themes in the forums over there really soon. I can't order the phone until the 15th (stupid bi-monthly pay for the miltiary).
Thanks for all the insight though guys. I reall really really wanted the damn Nexus instead but even with an upgrade the cheapest I could find it was $299 I believe.

Yep definitely going with the Razr from BestBuy. It's only $149 with an upgrade and with free shipping. Also, that's for the 32GB version which in addition comes with a 16GB card. So pretty much a 48GB Razr for only $149, yeah I'm jumping on that.

I'm new to all this but i've had my Revo for half a year now. I check the forum constantly hoping for something new (mainly CM9), i have no idea how to mod or rom, but i have themed quite a bit of my phone with applications and guides all across the web. At one point i considered going to BO, but after seeing so many people having issues with it i decided to stay with Gingervolt.
I've still got the Revo, I don't wanna shell out the extra cash for a new phone. It is sad how this form has slowly lost activity over the past few months. Everyone was always so helpful and polite. As for CM9 and future developments of BO IMO I think that's over with but I'm still gonna stick around for awhile and check up things here...
My Revo has been on BO 2.0.1 with the V6 supercharger tweak and it has been running great. MT made this thing a whole new animal. In all honesty though, if I had the money, I would get a different phone. Simply for the amount of development other devices have.
I got an Asus TF300 tablet a few months back as a father's day gift and there is at least 6 developers working on ROM's and Kernels. It makes you wonder how much better the Revo really would be if more developers had jumped on the Revo (especially with an unlocked bootloader).
In 6 months, I will be able to upgrade. I wonder what the "Next Big Thing" will be then?
I keep coming back every once in a while just to see what's going on. I miss my revo sometimes.

I am still using the revo despite earlier griping and looking into getting a DROID 4. I just decided I didn't want to shell out the money for another phone or go through multiple returns to get something better. I have left the phone alone for a while now and the lack of constant fiddling with the setup seems to have improved the performance and stability. I think I will be fine staying with the revo for about another year.

I owned my Revo for about 8 months. It was still under warranty. I told Verizon that the 4G radio was not working and I had done all the usual trouble shooting. When they offered to replace with an another Revo. I told them that I wanted an equivalent phone because of the known problems. They then offered up a bionic and a thunderbolt. I chose the bionic because of the better development
Hope this helps

Those with this "awesome" phone known as the LG Revolution. How much longer do you have until your upgrade? Will you be staying on board with LG or go over to a different company? If so, what phone currently has your attention?
My upgrade is on 1/28/13 and seriously can't wait for it. As my first Android phone, this Revolution really did leave a bad impression. I doubt I'll stick with LG once I'm eligible for an upgrade. The GS3 has caught my eye. I'm lucky enough to be able to mess with it from time to time at my job. It's going to be a bit weird since all the years I have been on Verizon, all my phones were LG.

I am up in February. This is/was not my first android phone but my overall experience with Android has not been the most ideal. I use my phone for 3 basic things, Phone calls, Texting, and Email. Android fails for me at 2 of these. Random black screen of death and a constant error message when it checks my email.
I'm bailing on Android and going to give WP8 a shot.
Well hopefully that works out for you. I'm fine with Android really. It does want I want it to. It's just I don't have the proper device lol. I might have suffered more if I didn't have Broken Out 2.0.1 on this phone. LG's UI is simply horrendous.

I warrantied out of my Revo about 6 months ago into a Bionic. Have yet to have an issue with it. I'll never go LG again ... even If the rumors are true about them making a Nexus device.
Sent from my Bionic w/ Unofficial CM10
My first phone was an HTC Eris and it was a great little phone. The stock android sucked, the ROMS were great, email worked but other issues existed, LG phone, while my hardware is generally stable, Android will randomly go into a black screen of death usually during a phone call making so I have to pull the battery to end the call. My phone is rooted stock, running an alternative home. I tried BO, it and my phone did not agree, it was always unstable for me, happens no biggie. I am older now and much less patient then I was a few years ago. I expect it to work, the error message when checking my corporate email annoys me. It has almost no documentation on the web for the error and no one has found a fix, Invalid userID or PWD but then if you hit refresh it successfully checks and downloads the email. I think WP8 will suit me fine, if I don't like it, I will change back... nothing ventured nothing gained.
Yeah I hate that random black screen I get sometimes during a call (I thought that was only me lol). Not sure how I would feel going to Motorola though to be honest, but it's most likely better than what LG has been doing. Well WP8 certainly is something different, I've seen less than a handful of people use Windows Phone.

I have another full year on this thing. =/ I'm looking at selling the phone online and getting a different one, though. It's soured me on LG products, generally. Using LG's support network was horrible, and the phone itself is just too quirky.
well, I'm here for the long haul. Just upgraded in Dec, so i got a while. Hopefully PG can fix the pink screen issue in cm9. iirc, other than that its good to go. Can't wait.

How do you warranty out of this piece of garbage? I've had mine since December and have already had to have it replaced twice for the same issue...and it's starting with the same symptoms again. (It'll start slowing down and acting goofy, not receiving texts, then it'll stop booting)
If I can't get out of it, I'm stuck with it until August before VZW will let me upgrade on contract although I'm eyeballing Craigslist for anything that's better...

Just tell them it does it in safe mode and you want to try something else. As long as the phone is still under warranty, all you have to pay for is a new battery and battery door. Some have been able to push the issue and get into a galaxy nexus or RAZR. Usually they offer a tbolt, charge, or bionic.

That someone was me... I warranty swapped out to a Galaxy Nexus and it cost 53 bucks for the extended battery and door. So psyched!
Good enough for now
I have two of them and they work fine for me. I'm holding off to see what new models are coming (Galaxy S4 etc), and I am going to have to buy my new phones un-subsidized because I don't intend to lose my unlimited data. I use tablets for the fun stuff and the Revolution for calls. The Revolution phones my wife and I have are working fine and rooted. The only problems I have had is that both of our batteries failed at the same time (bad batch I think). I jut bought cheap OEMs off of eBay and moved on.
I escaped from the nightmare this past week.
After three replacements, I was able to get a RAZR.
My trick was that I called up and told them I wouldn't accept another Revolution.
I insisted that I wanted to lateral into something else, or I would demand that my early termination fees be waived.
The gentleman asked what I wanted, and I said a RAZR if it's possible.
"Not a problem!"
and the rest went from there.
2/13/13 for me. Not too long, really. My main concern is keeping my unlimited data whole keeping the other two on the family plan happy. Not sure if that's going to be possible . . . Thinking about Samsung. Nexus is compelling.
Anyone here likely to spring for the upcoming LG Nexus device rumored. I'm betting not!

I'm done with LG. Unless they release a phone with an unlocked bootloader and stock Android. Which is impossible. Samsung seems to be the company to go with atm.

They are doing the next nexus, so that should have an unlocked bootloader and stock Android... Unless I misunderstand what all that means.
And it won't matter who makes it. People will develop for a Nexus. It is supposed to be based on the Optimus G, which sounds like a winner, except possibly for battery life.
Be warned that when you upgrade, if you currently have unlimited data, you will lose it if you take the subsidized price with a new contract. If you pay full price and don't sign a new contract, you get to keep unlimited data. If you go that route, there's really no reason waiting on getting a new device because it will cost the same either way .

I wish I was still under warranty. I have the insurance but don't want to pay for the replacement since my REVO went into the river for a few seconds. Works great still. Hate the fact that I bought many accessories for a phone I want to switch out now lol. Buying the Nexus for the wife. Will see if she wants to switch lol

I'm well aware that I will lose my unlimited data. I like Android, it's just that this phone from LG has really been a subpar experience for me as my first smartphone. If I have to lose my unlimited data to have a good android device, so be it. Gotta love how Verizon thinks.
