Thrill 4G

Whos getting the Thrill 4G?
I think I may get it. This phone is great and all but GPS blows because of the mfg defect of the back GPS antenna not making contact. This proved a huge pain in the arse Friday when I actually had to use the navigation. In order for it to work correctly I had to keep my finger firmly pressed on the antenna...

It does look nice but I'm gonna stick with HTC products.

They meant the Inspire is nice, not the Thrill.

I was referring to the inspire having GPS antenna issues.
Now I'm thinking the galaxy s2 released Monday is a better choice.

The Thrill is my AT&T company phone, I'm an employee, and the battery life is ABYSMAL! If you thought the Inspire was bad, wait til that one comes out. Trust me, don't do it. Trying to setup my Exchange email, battery dropped from 93 to 79 in about 10 minutes of me fiddling with it. All on "4G".

The thrill is a nice phone to an extent. I am not a huge fan of the 3D screen on it but the 3D camera is kinda of cool. I would still rather have a samsung or htc device. I was playing with one for a few days but wasnt a huge fan.

This wont be on Att I bet though. And besides, it wont be much better than the sgs2 anyway. It'll most likely have the 720p screen to stand out.

Really? This (http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/17/lg-thrill-4g-review/) and a few others I've read says it's shipping with 2.2 with a promised 2.3 update from ATT. nothing about ICS
1ghz dual core is cool, but only 512mb RAM? running froyo? this doesn't exactly seem like a step forward. and if the battery life is really as abysmal as stated previously, it won't be something i'm interested in

My wife and I get our upgrades in December and have already decided which ones we are gonna get. My wife will be getting the LG Thrill. I will be getting the HTC Holiday/Inspire HD/Raider, whichever it gets decided to be called after it finally gets at least announced.

I have already ordered my Thrill 4G from radioshack acouple of weeks ago... supposed to be out this week (sept 4th) now with Gingerbread pre-installed... fingers crossed!!!
my heart isnt set on the 3d asspect... it is the fact that is a dual core dual ram dual channel device... for 79.99 at radioshack and target!!!
thats a good deal... throw a custom rom on there with some optimizations..and there ya go!!!
i am a Samsung junkie i had only one other lg smartphone before... lg incite.. wm 6.1 SUCKED BALLS perfomance wise till i put custom rom on..
actually it was a tough little device.. basically unbrickable.
so if i dont like the lg thrill and really think it isnt worth it... i will take it back and i will get the Infuse... my friend has one that i put a nice rom on and it blows everyphone i have ever played with out of the water...
i love the AMOLED screen and the weight and "slimness"...
anywho,
Good Luck to me... gonna get it Sunday.

From what I've read about the Optimus 3D, even though it has only 512 of RAM, because of the RAM being dual channel it is still suprisingly not laggy, if at all. Yes, it would be smooth as hell if it had more, but reviews have said that 512 of dual channel RAM is not too much of a drawback.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using the XDA app

It might be just me but the 3D gives me a headache.

News on the thrill...
Radioshack confirmed today... delays were originally due to the noted screen defect on several devices... secondly getting a manufacturing deal with corning... the makers of gorilla glass... they were supposed to get a deal... looked like they lost it... were considering raising the price... they worked it out and all is well... they also confirmed it will ship with gingerbread update installed....
Congrats to all those patient enough to wait!!!

gotta say....i'm kinda disappointed

Why is the ROM development taking forever for this phone? I am just an Android enthusiast and have the utmost respect for the devs, but I am contemplating returning this phone for lack of support.

I guarantee that when the gingerbread or icecream sandwich update comes out development will pick up. What we really need right now is a way to get our radio compatible with optimus 3d roms. There's a lot of development for that phone which is identical except for the fact it doesn't support all the same basebands. Its roms work for the Thrill except no 4g and no mms. They have a cyanogenmod project going too.
EDIT: maybe getting some bounties going would help...

I'm not disappointed due to lack of support, as it's a new phone without a lot of hype. I'm REALLY disappointed with the quality control LG is putting out there. I really wanted to like the Optimus 2X/G2X, but they had awful QC. I figured they'd fix it for the 3D, but sure enough, mine is going right back to Amazon for an exchange. 5 hours of battery while idle and a touch screen that's all over the place doesn't instill confidence, nor does the constant rebooting. Everything about this phone screams "PLACEHOLDER!", and it's a shame because it's a solid phone that FEELS great.

I'm surprised you got so many takers in the Infuse forum.
I just don't see it, a phone that arguably out specs the SGS II as an equal trade for a phone that arguably does not out spec the SGS.
I think you'll enjoy the Thrill, welcome aboard. When you get it give Thriller a try, its awesome.
Sent from my LG Thrill Faux G
Edit: whoops my bad, that was an Inspire. That trade I do see as equal.

I would have thought about it. I've had the Thrill for about a week now and I'm ready to throw it in the toilet. Might make the battery last a little bit longer. I haven't installed anything on it or set anything up, and I still have to charge it twice a day. I can quite literally watch the battery % drain.

I've noticed my battery lasts considerably longer than it did during the first week- week and a half that I owned the phone. It use to drain 30-40% just sitting overnight. Now it MIGHT lose 1-2% overnight.

Tweaks and underclocking....that is the key

Underclocking did nothing for me. I gave up on that after a couple days of no improvement. The only things different on my phone from stock is that I removed all the att bloat and several LG services. I rethemed it, deodexed it and performed a zipalign. Oh and changed the io scheduler. A couple other little things here and there.
A HUGE thing for my battery life is keeping my wifi on at home. I get such a weak data signal inside my house the radio is constantly trying to find a better signal. This is a huge battery drain.

Thrill for an atrix

I might be getting a thrill in trade for my atrix. Would you make the deal if you were in my shoes?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

I got em both and they both have their advantages. If you like having fun with 3D Thrill is quite the device but if you want productivity I would stick with the atrix with its webtop and such.

The only thing youll really gain with the Thrill is 3D and a slightly bigger screen. You wont lose anything performance wise either. The Thrill has that wow factor with the 3d. Ultimately i chose the thrill because of the screen size and the 3d is just cool.
Just be aware that some people are having problems with their thrills rebooting randomly (i dont) and that MAY be the reason for the trade.
Sent from my LG-P920 using Tapatalk

Damn tapatalk and the edit button being next the quote button...double post.

I would do the trade. You can switch back and forth between Thrill Roms and Optimus 3D roms. Only thing you'll be losing is higher pixel density and screen resolution.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium

I had a atrix, now I have a thrill and sg2. I would wait on the rom and kernel development to get a Lil stronger before I traded. I think my multi-tasking was better on atrix. But if ur not big on memory intensive multitasking or lots of rom choices go for it. I only use 3d for wow factor but honestly I don't get anything outta it anymore.

No more hope?

I'm getting ready to dump this sob of a phone... I mean the battery sucks so bad, I cant go a full day without it dying on me and I hardly ever use it, I'll lock my phone and look at it like 10 min later, when no apps are even running and i'll be down quite a bit of battery (I've had to tone down usage A LOT coming from an Atrix 4g, I could go a couple days with some heavy use and not have to charge it, and now it seems like whenever I get the chance I have no choice but to throw this phone on a charger)
Besides the fact of a poor battery, I've always hated LG, they have crap for customer service and phone support, I figured something might change with this phone, but nope...
I was hoping for a GB update soon, but looks like those dreams are crushed after reading something on LG forums saying they probably won't release a GB update EVER! LG and ATT can go die...
Also the community for the thrill is relativity small and it seems like Dev's have very little to offer or gave up on this phone all together...
I figured I'm going to jump back on board with the Atrix 4G or 2... I'm undecided as of right now
So this is goodbye to everyone else who is in this community and noticed my little efforts in helping Peace

Yes, Rogers 925 getting 2.3.5
Sent from my almost cm7 p925

Well besides all the other reasons, did you try getting a different battery. I have no problem getting over a day's life of battery out my thrill with medium useage. The only thing that really kills it are the 3d games. Stock 2.2.2, rooted with about half of AT&ts bloat ware removed. I read somewhere (not sure where) about bad batteries shipped with a lot of these phones.
Yeah, the upgrade part and lack of support are downers, but overall this phone really is good. My uncle got the new Droid Razer and my phone out performed it on all the benchmark tests that we compared head to head.

At the very least, Rogers releasing GB is a sure sign ATTs GB has to be right around the corner.

Captivate (July 2010 release - updated to froyo 8 months later)
Infuse (May 2011 release - updated to gb 8 months later)
See the pattern......it's all at&!

Well I did that Rogers GB update... aside from the huge headache it took to get on my phone and all the crap apps from Rogers and what not...its a solid update. The battery is by far better I can tell you that for sure I'm happy and might just stay with this phone if it holds up tomorrow and on Tuesday...
Its so much smoother and my internet is blazing fast compared to froyo, for those who haven't tried this, I suggest you do so ASAP.
