What's wrong with Thrill?

Everyone keeps saying there returning there Thrill, its not worth it, blah blah blah. What's so wrong with this phone besides Froyo? Just curious causevim Thrilled about my purchase

I'm seeing alot of people are pissed about the thrill because its running froyo. An outdated system on a new device is what they say. People are holding out for the galaxy s 2. What they don't seem to get is all over the net there are videos and comparisons to the galaxy s 2 and the thrill. The results are pretty much dead even. Some parts the thrill destroys the s2 in tests, NEVER DOES THE S2 DO THE SAME. and guess what the s2 is running the latest version of android. So with that said, once we get gingerbread people will be eating there words. Plus people don't understand all dual core phones are the same except for the thrill/optimus 3D, this phones internals are so unique that we have dual channel support. Watch this video, it just makes sense >>>

Personally I love this phone and to be honest I get better battery life outta this phone than my atrix. Y I'm not sure. I don't have any lag issues so my real life experience is great.

In my experience, people don't even know what the differences are between Froyo and Gingerbread; they just want the latest so they can tell their nerd friends that they have the latest.
I know the differences, which is why I'm not so gung ho - yes, it's later and it improves on some things, but the differences are mainly beneath the surface so I don't get the fascination with the latest.
When Ice Cream Sandwich is released, will people be returning their GS2s for something newer?

I agree with everyone above, I love this phone and have not had any problems with speed or lag. Gingerbread will come but to be honest I would rather LG just give us Ice Cream Sandwich as soon as it comes out at this point in the Gingerbread game. And after using the 3D for games and I even rented Sanctum and it looked fantastic, I don't think I could not have 3D now.

There's nothing wrong with the Thrill. Very beautiful device and works extremely well.
I guess this quote explains the reason people keep returning it very well, "The grass is always greener on the other side."

I have the rogers optimus 3d (which i beleive is the same as the thrill). I love the device so far. The only issues i have with it as of now are the tinny speaker and the lack of a bluetooth hid profile (I want to use a bt keyboard!!) I hope development picks up soon.

I just cant get over how HORRIBLE this battery is. I have owned several android devices this year and by far this one takes the cake for crappy battery. Hopefully Gingerbread improves it like it helped the Inspire (which was way better even with froyo) but I wont be sticking around to see it.
That and the delay with opening certain apps like the camera (which takes about 5 seconds to load) and the delay when waking the phone up im just amazed at how low quality this device is. The 3D is cool, but I need a device that can atleast meet the standards of a low-end smartphone when it comes to anything else.

I'm glad to see some optimism here. Who the heck cares what ROM comes on the phone? Maybe I'm just overly optimistic, but this is my fourth Android phone (G1, MT3G, G2X, now Thrill) and I've never run a stock ROM for more than a month or so (or however long it takes for custom ROMs to be released). The phone has already been rooted, Clockwork is out (albeit still in beta), and it's only 10 days old. We'll have custom GB 2.3.5 on this beast in no time, and we won't care that it's still running Froyo on stock.

Just a quick goodbye...

I don't miss my Thrill.
My toughest decision today was CM7, MIUI, gtg465x's ROM, DesignGears's ROM, MikeyMike's ROM, or one of the three devs from the Infuse's ROMs. Or I can choose any i9100 ROM. Plus in a month or two I will have to choose which ICS ROM I want.
Decisions, decisions ...

Good for you...
Thats all well and good... no 3D though... plus, i like a challenge and it is a good phone. And if everyone just keeps crying and switching instead of getting their hands dirty and doing some hard developing this phone will never reach its full potential, which is a real shame...
As soon as i have time i will begin developing for this phone...
I dont have a ton of experience building roms and such, but im pretty tech-smart, built my own multitouch table, play with "processing" from time to time, way back in the day ran android on my htc kaiser tilt as my first android phone.

The 3D would have been better if the viewing angle was wider than 5 degrees. I could only get movies and pictures taken with that phone to ever appear nice. I tried several 3D movies, and I couldn't get any of them to work where they were watchable, my eyes were too far apart for the viewing angles, there was a break in the middle, that moved as I breathed and unperceptable moved the phone.
It wasn't the dev support that took me away it was the Bluetooth and battery life on the phone. If my phone had working bluetooth, I would still be flying the Thrill flag.
Good luck deving on this phone, I know it has great untapped potential.

im hoping gingerbread will be out before att get's the nexus. if so i'll stick with this phone maybe.

There are three galaxy devices coming out for AT&T in the next couple/few months. Right now they're on GB, I'm sure they'll be released on ICS. Next year is going to be an interesting year for phone releases with quad core madness brimming like crazy. I guess my disappointment in all this is it feels like phones released yesterday are forgotten about when new phones are released. And I'm not just referring to the Thrill. I suppose that's the way of tech things.
I wish 1 of 2 things would happen--
AT&T would let me move my unlimited data to a tablet and I could get a non-smart phone for texting and calling only.
AT&T would get the Note

Should I get a Thrill?

I currently have an HTC HD7S but being a tech head, I'm getting bored.
Is it worth getting the Thrill or is its already dead in the custom rom area?

Not dead, but calm. In actuality, though, there's been a jumpstart in posting the last couple days and a few have been promising to me. Additionally, GB is now scheduled to be released the 27th for the optimus 3d which should give the thrill a custom gb rom in days by that point. I'm days away from my trade deadline, but I'm staying pretty devoted to the phone I've decided I love. Now if only we could get a stock browser without this damn toolbar at the bottom...

I just picked mine up last Friday. I'm coming off an Atrix, and so far I'm not looking back.
The screen is fantastic, the phone is smooth, and it doesn't seem to have some of the issues the Attic suffers from.
It was between this and the Galaxy S II, and I wanted the HDMI. Also, the Thrill felt better.
Besides gimmick or not, the 3D is cool.

Thanks for the opinions. A family member of my has it and I've had the pleasure of using it. But I'm pretty much set on getting it.
Also, I was reading yesterday the ICS source code is released. Any devs interested in that?
EDIT: Honeycomb is available as well

I was going to say I don't know if I had an upgrade right now if it would be the phone I'd pick. I'd more than likely get a Note. But I've come to really like this phone and wouldn't trade it unless a Thrill with a 4.5 inch screen, 16 gig storage, and ICS came out.
Of course, then it'd still be a Thrill

Hmmmm...I downloaded xScope pro when it was the Amazon free app of the day. But I have yet to use it as my browser. Guess it's time to give it a shot.

IMO, I wouldn't waste my time on the Thrill. I stuck it out for a while thinking that LG actually gave a crap about us, just to be let down. They have committed to a Gingerbread release on the 21st to the International version. No commitment at all to the Thrill other than maybe by the end of December or early January.
With the very slow development going on it, I decided I had enough and jumped to the SGS2 Skyrocket instead. Do I miss the 3D ability?.....Of course. But I gained LTE (when available in my area) and an 8MP camera instead with increased speed over the Thrill and a lot more dev potential (and is going on already).
I would have a hard time now recommending anyone to the Thrill that cares about overall speed and performance, let alone support from the manufacturer. If someone wants 3D and doesn't mind a luke warm device, then the Thrill may suit them fine.
Just my opinion. I had such high hopes for it when I bought it.

Seriously, some people forget it's a phone. Without fast development, it's still a damn good one for now, and with development, it'll be amazing in the future. How many MP my camera is, I couldn't care less. It's more about the size of the cmos sensor than the resolution, and the only phone I'll trade for when it's available, nexus of course, will have one nice 5mp cam. Samsung let me down for way too long with my craptivate, so I can wait a bit for GB again. As for the O3D version, that'll be close enough. Oh, by the time LTE reaches my house (and most), I'm sure I'll be eligable for another upgrade. Loving this phone, despite my few hates.

Ask yourself this question: Do I want ROM selection? The answer to the title of this thread is the opposite of your answer to that question.
If you don't flash ROMs, the Thrill is better than the Atrix or Atrix 2, its definately the best phone in the <$99 price range. But for a little more the GS II (i777 not skyrocket, the skyrocket will be only slightly less of a ghost town than here) is teasing you with so many ROM choices it will burn a hole in your SD card.

The funny thing is Ive got all the bugs worked out of my Thrill. The thing has ZERO issues for me. I cant think of a single reason not to recommend the Thrill. I could care less about a selection of Roms. Most are just re-themes of the same..exact..thing. All I need is one solid rom and Im golden. That was the thing I LOVED about my Aria. For the longest time there were only 2-3 roms available for it but they were all rock solid and offered everything you could get out of a rom. We had ONE kernel available to us, but it worked flawlessly, so we didnt need anymore kernels. Move along to the Captivate and while I had 200,000 roms to choose from none of them felt finished, half of them were the same rom I had just flashed with a different battery icon, and they all had issues. Even CM7 for the Captivate never felt as solid as it did on my Aria. I never ended up being happy with my Captivate even though it was the "superior "phone to my Aria.
The Thrill is a solid phone. It had a lot of issues upon release and a LOT of people didnt stick around because of that. Gingerbread is here, and from what ive been hearing its already made the Thrill into even more of a beast and its only a pre-release leak (unfortunately I dont have a Windows machine so I cant flash the baseband to even try it ). And with the ICS source released we will have ICS fairly quickly. Gingerbread was a tough port due to ZERO Omap4 devices running it (it wasnt just the Thrill) so we had to try to start from scratch, but the first ICS device has almost the exact CPU (higher clockspeed and better imaging capabilities) and the GPU IS the same. That alone will kickstart development of ICS as we can port ICS rather than try to build it from scratch.
But enough of my ranting Im going to sleep!

I hope so. It's such a great device. It sucks some good phones are left out. I used to have a backflip, so I remember the pain of not having a good, stable rom.

Iphone= no customization+apple = lame
o2x has alot of faults but hopefully when nvidia release there drivers and we get a decent build of ICS those problems will be a thing of the past. But in the mean time there are alot of fun roms and kernels and various customizations you can do to make it very entertaining.
But if you don't like that stuff and don't mind apple **** then go get ripped off.

Well i have had a iPod Touch 3RD Gen, it was always Jailbroken, though am looking a change from the usual "Oh Look at this thing, its amazing, even though Android has already had it" But i do like how everything just works.
Though, having something that runs android would give me a change to mess around with things and tinker, which i like to do
Just need to make a decision before the 11th

The IPhone is a good fone and we wouldn't be where we are now if we didn't have the IPhone. That being said, I don't like IPhones as they are closed, too expensive, don't prevent wifi dropping (on standby) if your on a data allowance, over rated..
I work for O2 in the UK & all the time see the down falls compared to Android. I personally chose Android due to the open'ness and customization... The IPhones are smooth though but it all depends if your into making YOUR fone YOURS & Personal ;-).
I hate Blackberries more though lol as you either need to do a battery pull every 2 minutes or the Host Routing Table lol.
Its just my opinion but have a play with them both .

You will love it, its so much more customizable than any "i" device, seeing as you already have an ipad it makes no sense to get an iphone as well.
Try not to judge the o2x on it stock rom it kinda sucks, imediatly flash a custom rom and kernel and you'll have a blast it'll be fast and smooth but don't expect it to be aa smooth as the i devices remember android is an OS within an OS.

Yeah, I'd personally go for an O2X too. But seeing that the other option is an IP4, I'd take the O2X hands down. The IP4 is going to get old real fast once the IP5 is released Q2 to Q3 this year.
While the O2X is scheduled for ICS Q2 of this year. (give or take 2 quarters) lol.
If... the option was between the IP4S and the O2X though, I'd have to choose IP4S.

I have a optimus 2x. Bought it some days ago. By use its amazing. I accept that its software has some glitches but who has not? And moreover when you get a good hardware you should not really worry of software, as you will get it , its a open source.
I like apple as a media source. You told you have a ipod touch. I think its more than enuf from apple. You can enjoy there OS there touch feel and the apps. But apple doesnt allow you to do much customizations. It doesnt five yoi the degree of freedom android gives. So i would siggest you. Go for optimus 2x rather than Iphone 4 because you already have a iox device ipodtouch.

Hello!
It is always about your needs...
But I see one big problem with the iPhone 4 16GB – your stuck with these 16GB and from my personnel experience this isn’t really much. I ordered a 32GB SDHC the moment I ordered my LG P990 and it is almost full including the build in 8GB… I actually very tempted to try one of the 64GB SDXD cards available – will order one and try it when the prices come down little more.
And compared to an iPhone 4 the LG P990 should be faster – I have seen some tests on youtube – but don’t have a link handy right now – and these tests where actually with the stock browser on stock rom…and custom roms are even a lot faster.
The rest is about taste…
IMHO Android is more versatile and I like the UI concept more, but this is purely dependent on what you like.
My tip go to some store where you can actually touch the phone and play around with it a little – even though the LG P990 is on stock not as fast ass it could be, but you get a basic idea of the look and feel.
I made this comparison between iPhone 4, SG2, HTC Sensation and LG P990…now guess which phone won…

much smaller, and little bit better

Heh you know if you asked this in the iphone section or a more iphone friendly area you would be told to get the iphone 4 or the 4s because they dont even know what a non apple product is.

Yes, your are most probably right and that is why we should try to do better here - especially since many people around here will know the look and feel of the iPhone 4 too...
And as I wrote I personally like the UI concept of android more and he should try both before making that decision.
Speedwise the Optimus 2x should be a little faster – but not that much since I must admit the software of the iPhone is usually over all a little bit better optimized.
But IMHO the biggest con against any iPhone and also to the most recent Google phone is the lack of an SD-card slot – this is/would be a absolute no go for me…

if IP4 would had 4" screen i wouldnt even thinking.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, I think I might give it a chance, though i will have to order it from Amazon UK as there are no phone stores around my town that stock O2x's.
I also didn't post on an apple section as I know what the replys would be to buy the iPhone as 50%-70% of apple owners only buy apple products as they Have the fruit logo and defend it.
Just another thing to touch on, if I did get the O2x i wouldn't root it for approx. 6-8months in-case an issue would occur and therefore i would be able to use warranty. What is the Stock rom like? And is it Usable?
Rooting:
I would assume rooting is a bit like jail-breaking, just run a program and its done?
and flashing roms, you just put them on an SD card and flash using clockworkrecovery?
Thanks again

i will say buying an iPhone4 is just an action of ifanboy

Rooting is not difficult, just as easy as jailbreaking the iOS devices. I sold my iPod touch 4th gen a few months ago and I know the differences between these products.
First of all, I want to remark that the optimus 2x still has a lot of issues. Random reboots, sleep of deaths, charging BSODs, memory leaking. These are very common issues which I experienced myself. Especially if you use the stock LG rom, make sure you remember this.
Most probably you won't void your warranty if you flash custom roms because you will be able to flash back to stock LG rom with kdz/smartflash methods.
If you are looking for a stable phone I honestly would not recommend the O2X at this moment. It is a nice phone with current CM7-kangs or modded kernel/modded stock rom, but the LG roms are real crap imo and you may still have problems even with xda roms.
Samsung for example has much better stock roms. You might look for the Galaxy R for example which looks great to me.
Nevertheless the o2x is really cheap for a dualcore phone with decent IPS screen. Real bang for the bucks. It's so much faster than my previous iPod Touch 4th gen. (Same processor as iPhone 4)
If you have no problems with claiming warranty if you have issues amd if you dont care to flash custom roms, the o2x could be a good choice.

I've been patiently waiting the arrival of the Galaxy Nexus... but my patience is wearing thin. My Hero is on its last leg, and quite frankly it is just too slow for my liking anymore. So Im really debating on whether to hold out for the GN or just getting the Epic 4g touch.

I'm in the same boat. Almost 3 years with my hero and I do love it, but I'm due for an upgrade and I'm not sure I can wait for the GN or GSIII. I might have to take the plunge soon. Epic 4g touch or Evo3D....something, but until then I'm flashing roms like there's no tomorrow

Thanks to all for the insigjts, Daatin, have you expierienced any programing gliches (ranbom reboots, freezes ) as ive rread in some of the Sprint reviews. Anb in response to the epic 4g, yes it is a pretty badass device man. Definately on the list of upgrade cantidates. Is rooting the epic fairly basic, just wondering. Lol suppose i could use the search window, :-b One other thing i was curious about, I read the specs on the 3d and the supersonic and other than price didnt really see a difference, is there really a difference ???

I haven't had any problems at all. All freezes were of my causing. Same goes with reboots.

Dive bombing in for a MUMP!! although this thread didn't need it

I have an upgrade available the 31st and I was hoping the galaxy nexus would be out by then but possibly not.. my sister got the Nexus S and the only problem I've seen with it is after a year or so of having it the battery life has probably cut in half if not more. My mom got the epic 4g touch and I didn't really like it. But no problems really that ive noticed. But I never got to mess around with rooting it/the programming side of it. I'm honestly thinking of going to iPhone because its not as fragmented as android. With android there's so many different phones, OS's, roms, etc. Then again that's what I love about it.. gaaaah the choices!! Either way good luck with whatever you choose

I feel your guys' pain about the lack of options for HTC phones on Sprint. I ended up getting a HTC Amaze which is what the next EVO phone should have been but it never made it to Sprint. I was not impressed by gimmicky EVO 3D. The HTC Rezound is similar to the Amaze but again it's on Verizon.

Still kicking around the idea....I do like the 3vo, but the 3D is just too gimmicky for me...I think the Photon is out even though motorola is always a solid phone.
I would go for the Evo Design, but the processor lacks a dual core .....I really think I am leaning towards the SGSII...despite what people say about the plasticy feel, it is slim, it is light, the screen is huge and colorful--(and the blacks are black, not washed out), and from what I have seen for comparisons even though it has the "same" speed processor as the 3vo, it is just a touch faster. The price is just double what the others are....GRRR.
Now I have to pound it into my wifes head, because I think shes gonna get me a phone for my Bday....

I can overclock mine at 1.5ghz and it's just as fast if not faster than stock SGS2... just my 2 cents.

And we genuinely appreciate your pennies.
BUT, if the SGS2 is OC'd and it is faster to begin with, imagine what it can do at 1.5ghz... I think the only thing I am not really diggin about the SGS2 is resolution..even though it is crisp and clear, the icons are bigger...
Who knows we will see what happens hell they might be sold out when it is time...I heard they are doing phones for new lines for a penny right now....makes me wanna walk away from them just to come back and get a discount....lol

That's when the shooter has another plus. It's resolution is higher which is why the icons are smaller but it also means better picture quality obviously with any higher resolution. I watch Top Gear on the netflix app and its perfect. Any game I've played works perfect and looks great due to the resolution.
On the processing front, honestly there's no need to even OC unless you want to just show off. but none of us end users need that much power to run what apps we like. Id be more inclined to want a higher processor if you could build from source on it. But most of us want better battery life. Which in turn you have to sacrifice some performance.
I love the SGS2. However they I believe still nerd to use odin to flash stuff. Odins been known to brick quite a few devices if not done properly. This weighed in my decision also along with I'm familiar with HTC. From a developing standpoint I was drawn because I know it already.
The 3D may be gimmicky... But it sure is fun Im excited to take more pictures now because of it. I can't wait for summer and snap shots of parades and ball games etc... Sure the SGS2 has an 8mp compared to the shooters 2 - 5mp which our Heros have a 5mp camera, but because of the resolution they turn out great. Won't be able to take advantage of that 8mp camera unless you remove the pictures and view them properly on a computer...
Now with all that being said I still want to buy an SGS2 outright because I just do. I mean its a great phone. But all that I mentioned pushed me towards the shooter for an everyday developing phone which is what the Hero was for me.
That's my .25 cents this time
I hope this helped boggle your mind a little more. Not saying you have to lean towards anything. It's your choice and all the phones out there are great. It's a matter of preference. Just stay away from the I-crap. I give Apple one little credit for implementing Unix in a way to a phone platform. But that's all ill give them.

Will never buy an apple-- just picked up a new SGS2 for $0.01 on Amazon though....

Go with what your budget can handle. Now that there is a possible fix for the 1. 5 hboot for the 3D, I'm encouraging my family to move towards it. Plus that phone has massive potential.
