End of my LG - LG Revolution

I have taken the plunge back to an old OG moto Droid and have deactivated my lg Revo. I can't take it. The phone itself is crap. Maybe i got a lemon.. maybe not.. but i couldn't take it anymore. I will be buying the Nexus Prime (or whatever the hell they call it) and the LG is forsale. So if anyone wants it dm me and we can maybe work it out... Good run.. MT you keep up the good work. If it wasn't for you i would have quit the LG a long time ago.
CR

Great timing...check with spc_Hicks..he just posted about his revo being stolen and destroyed. Maybe you guys can talk.

I don't think the phone is that bad. But with better phones coming out people are going to look at all the small things they don't like just to justify getting a new phone

I wouldn't say it sucks overall.. but there is nothing revolutionary about the revolution. I personally am starting to hate this thing more and more with the passing days because of stupid niggling problems.
There will be periods of time this phone will completely ignore calls and texts until I reboot the damn thing. The infamous texting issue. The random reboots and fits of unresponsiveness.
I'm moving back to Florida in two weeks, and if the 4G connectivity is as ****ty as it is in Erie, PA.. I'll probably make the switch to a Droid 3 so I don't have to deal with the ****ty battery life and I can get a real keyboard again.
/End rant.

There is a lot that i hate about the phone. NO joke i am running the OG Droid at 800mhz (over clocked) and it is 150% more responsive and there is almost no lag. Oh and with over clocked the battery life is better.
/Done Rant
Let me know if anyone wants it btw

I love this phone. I came from the droid also but I like this phone better. Had 3 the last one before my upgrade the headphone Jack went out.
I only wish there were more Roms but once GB and CM7 comes I can see us getting more.
I've Revolted have you?

I bought the Revo based solely on style. It looked nicer than the Charge and the Thunderbolt. Specs wise it was middle of the road in comparison to those 2. Less ram than the Tbolt but better screen, faster than the charge but with worse screen.
I am over it however. Just to many small issues and the release of the esteem with GB on it was kind of like being kicked in the nuts by LG and Verizon (yes its a metro PCS phone but VZW could have released it with GB.) The straight AOSP Prime with its stylish good looks make it a phone I think I will enjoy.

Start complaining now, wouldn't wanna put too much performance anxiety on ur next phone ;-)
Revolting Revolution. Tapatalk.

Me too
I have also switched back to my trusty OG Moto Droid. The Revo with the Revolt rom was OK, but I didn't really see a significant advantage versus the good old Droid. Frankly, I prefer the size of the Droid. It's easier to operate using only one hand. I'm probably in the minority on this one, but I like having a physical camera button. Battery life is vastly better on the Droid too. And not having 4G really only matters to me (generalizing here) when in the car - and when I'm in the car I'm not surfing anyway. If I'm at home, or work, or my main hang-outs, I have wifi. Perhaps there will be a new phone coming out at some point that will make me want to try upgrading from the Droid again... but for now, I chose OG Droid over Revo too.

Keeping it fersure... getting 10megabits down with 6/up. snappy and fast... rooted here.
came from a droid incredible with a dope rom from skyraider... I was running for 36 hours at a time with no kernel changes or undervolt... so my only complaint is the batt life sucks in comparison.

Welcome to 4G. Its not the phone its 4G that sucks your battery. I will say this; The bionic is by FAR the best on battery life compared to all 4G phones on the market right now.
I adore it. I came from a Moto Droid that had a display that died on me, so I was waiting for this.
Yeah, the screen's pixels are a little annoying at times, but other than that its speeds are INCREDIBLE, the new motoblur or whatever it is called now isn't obtrusive (the phone is actually fast enough to run it where it is actually attractive), and best of all it feels great in the hand.
Also, the extended battery's replacement back for the phone doesn't add that much width to it, making it a really good purchase. Shame none of the cases they had in stock support the extended battery.
One thing that I think people ignore when writing about new phones is the sound quality, and many people I have called are astounded when I tell them that I'm on a cell phone. I was on the highway going 60 mph with the windows and roof open, trucks all around me, and my dad thought I was on a landline when I called him. However they made the microphone, they got it down perfectly.
Now, I *NEEDED* a phone because of work, so it isn't an option to wait for the Droid Prime or the iPhone 5. Am I happy with the Bionic? Absolutely. Would I have waited for an even better phone if I could have? Perhaps.
I feel like when phones come out, they are outdated within a few days unless it's an iPhone. Eventually you have to bite the bullet, and I think that the Bionic is the best bullet I've ever bitten into!

I also love my Bionic, having upgraded from the Droid I. The only thing which I think it's missing is a widget to turn on/off the 4g. Other then the already mentioned 4g battery woes it's awesome.

CM7 on the Tbolt has a toggle, but ya, I can see this as a pain on this phone. However, if you are using 4G - try juice defender. When the screen is off it will turn off data (and you can have your data turn on however often you wish to check for new data etc).
Highly recommend it.
I had to charge my phone yesterday twice. I went about 1.6hrs on the original charge then fully charged it. With heavy use it needed a charge around bedtime(2130). Today I got it off the charger at 0530 and used it heavy for about 40 mins, then barely touched it and it's at 70%. I have juice defender and it set to CDMA only. I do not like the battery life so far but I has ATK on it. I took it off and will see how it goes. I think the task killer is more harm then good.
Does anyone know the battery life with 4G turned off?
No 4G at all in my state yet, but our area should be getting it this year.

Yeah and I would imagine there is a lot of bloat that can be removed with custom ROM's or tweaking CPU settings.
//oops.. double post.
I am so temped to say forget and go back to old faithful.... Ip4. I can go like two entire days on a single charge. I admit I have never used an android phone without the ATK. Maybe that's my problem.....
I like it coming from two Htc phones. Im only having an issue with the vibrate sounding really annoying like its broken and the battery only dropping by the 10's. It dropped from 100 to 90 then to 80%. Nothing in between. Im on an extended battery and seems to be doing okay so far.

Myself as well. My only complaint is that with the extended battery it makes it feel like I'm holding a brick when compared to regular battery, but that's a small complaint considering how well the battery performs... It's just how thin the device is when compared to other LTE devices with regular battery...
Rooted in seconds and im really happy with it now. Just make sure you update the bb binary once rooted. It makes a hell of a difference imo

Thanks i wiil wait for some othee phones
Yea I just switched from my cm7 thunderbolt that I got on launch day at the Verizon store I work at and I'm kind of uneasy about the switch I made but my thunderbolt sold that day for 200of the 300 that it cost for the bionic so no going back now. Either way worst case scenario I upgrade on of the phones on my contract lines to a quad core next year. So if you have the opportunity to switch later go for it but if you have to keep it for 20months I would wait

That is exactly what I am doing.......Switching from the Thunderbolt to the Bionic.
It has been painless so far. Switched the 4G sim cards and SD cards. Then pointed TiBu to where to backups were and restored all my apps from the Thunderbolt.
The Bionic is blazing fast and the battery is awesome. But need more testing for battery life to get a better results....
I also came from a Thunderbolt.. and in my opinion, the Bionic while being a very nice phone and powerful - feels very intermediary to the next "big thing".. It doesn't feel like "the phone to have for the next year" to me... Either way, haven't sold my Tbolt and i'm giving it about 10 days before deciding if i'm keeping the Bionic or returning it.

Same here. Truly hate the screen. Like almost everything else. Battery has been better but not amazing. I'll keep it and sell it for the prime.

I personally don't own a TB, but know several who do. The Bionic is a much nicer phone in just about every aspect. Battery life is much better not just a little. "Reviews" of the Bionic are only opinionated "initial impressions" just like my statement above
And the screen....coming from an amoled and slcd Inc....it's actually very nice. The best outdoor viewing I've seen on any phone.
bionic screen and no data+voice over 3g
hate the screen.
hate the fact that one cannot do data + voice over 3g like the t-bolt
love the build quality
love the call quality
net, net - keeping my bolt for either the htc vigor (oct. 6 launch according to sources on the web).

That is my only gripe so far. That should be standard on all LTE phones.
I'm going to use it for another week and decide. Battery life and screen is the only thing making me think twice about going back to the tv.
Keeping the bionic, wifey gets the TB. Like someone else in this thread stated, the bionic feels like an intermediate step forward rather than a leap. Still, I'm quite happy with it. I refuse to obsess over the pentile screen. Has any other TB owner noticed how great this phone is in direct sunlight? The TB was tough to use outside.

If you are in a 3g area, then I would wait. My data connection is worse than when the Thunderbolt just came out. I lose data for hours. I toggle modes (cdma/lte) switch airplane mode off and on, and reboot. Reboot works most often. When I'm on wifi and on cdma mode, the verizon data stays connected. But either way my battery (always on cdma) dies in less than 10 hours
If you use your phone outside then you'll like the Bionic screen.
I don't have an opinion if you are in a 4G area.

I didn't notice any hue with my Oakley's. Love being able to see the screen with them on.
In direct sunlight with sunglasses on it is very readable. I've never seen a smart phone screen this viewable in the sun.
I have a TB that I just went back to. Bionic is better, but with locked bootloader, wifi tether issues, and price, it isn't worth using my upgrade IMO. Now, if I wasn't already on a 4 g device like my old droid x, then I would say get a bionic, you will love it.

I am having that exact debate with myself. Already having a 4g device do I need this phone? Call quality is 100 times better though.
Having full control of my TB is nice. I can tether at will and talk and surf on 3g.

I am currently using a samsung Infuse and i really dont have any complaints the camerea is amazing and overall i love the phone other than when i am indoors me signal is completely trash sometimes. I was wondering if it would be a good switch to go to the thrill? the 3d draws me in and it seems like it has alot of power to it to. What do you guys think will this phone last on the dev scene??>?

I love my Thrill!! I've had no problems. I was suppose to get the Infuse, but saw the Thrill and had to have it. Specially since it was way cheaper. I liked the screen of the Infuse, but when I saw how big the Otter Box for it was, it helped me make my final decision on the fuse. That thing would've looked like a laptop on my hip it was so big. I've had my Thrill since a week since it first came out and I've had no problem with it other than the battery life. But I just rooted it and installed the Doomed Froyo Slim ROM and the battery lasts 3X longer than it did before.

I think its a good upgrade. Its been slow to start from a dev standpoint due to the outdated Froyo (which is most likely the culprit of the horrible battery life). GB is due out soon for our sister phone the O3D this month and should be easily ported. The Thrill will get GB from ATT but the question is when. And I can only assume we'll see ICS in the not to distant future in one form or another.

Love this phone

Im not sure what all of the complaining I've read on here is all about cause this phone is amazing. I've had just about every Verizon android phone made and this byfar blows them all out if the water. It is so fast and responsive. Screen is completely adequate. Every other phone I've had has always had a major issue (except the droid x) but the bionic to me is flawless. I haven't dropped data, calls are clear, internet flies, etc. Just wanted to put my 2 cents in. I have an upgrade coming on dec 9th. Ill probably use it to by that stupid nexus samsung phone and resell it for double to have some extra christmas cash. Haha. Go Motorola...

I agree. This phone has been great for me as well. While the camera wasn't amazing, the leaked OTA improved both that and the data drops for me. This is the only Android phone I've been happy with stock, which is saying a lot lol. This is also my first Verizon phone. Coming from Sprint, this network is far superior- and I have 4G nearly everywhere I go. I couldn't ask for more from a phone.
Heck yeah. I haven't rooted or done a leaked update yet because my laptop is currently down... don't know if I actually will though. Other than the camera focusing a tad slow I see no reason not to wait for the official ota.

I know this thread is a bit old, but wanted to comment. Like with my Thunderbolt, I'm reading every thread that's interesting.
I got my Bionic on Thursday and I'm loving it. I loved my Thunderbolt, and loved it even more after rooting. The Bionic is running very smooth for me, with only a few data drops yesterday, that I'm not so sure was related to the building that I was in. I'm not sure I want to root it. Nandroid backups and Titanium are the only things I sort of miss at the moment. I know it'll come, but will be a while. Like my Thunderbolt and Xoom were.
I have to agree too! However, this is technically my first smartphone, so I would be happy with any Android device, I believe. I did have the LG Revolution for 1 week before my Bionic. I always wanted the Bionic first, but there was a mix and I got the Revolution instead. The Bionic certainly blows the Revolution out of the water. I was also hesitant to root my Bionic because I didn't see the reason for it other than tethering. But I did root it and have had no issues, except some that were due to my inexperience with smartphones an rooting.
Root it to freeze bloat and block ads if anything. Plus make a backup.
I loved my bionic too, but wait until the data drops happen enough. You'll edit your post. It made me bonkers.
Glad you're happy though.

My first 2 set of Bionic's had battery draining issue, data dropping out of the blue, phone going into sleep and not waking. After 2nd replacement and 5.5.893 update, no issues not so ever. My 4g was out of service few times but that was due to Verizon network NOT the phone itself. I rarely drop data, if any and battery life is great (I have extended battery).
So far so good

I went from an LG 800g Tracfone to the Bionic. So it was a big leap outta the 19th century for me too. But even compared to other phones I've seen, I love my Bionic. I rooted about three weeks after purchase, Titanium BU, froze a few apps, got used to the phone, and over time have downloaded over 100 apps. Don't use half of them! LOL! But this little computer is awesome!
Now it is time to 4ever root, and go to 893. Not sure about 901 yet. I might be patient and wait for Moto to send it out. But a lot of folks like 901!
My B-i-o-n-i-c! My precioussssssss! Ooops! Sorry 'bout that . Kinda slipped off into that insane part of my mind.
I agree 100%. I actually very much like the stock user interface, and this phone FLIES. I live in an area where there is no 4G (yet) and I browse the internet faster than some of my friends with AT&T HSPA+ phones. This phone is freaking amazing.
The people who complain about the bionic, will complain about any phone they get. Many of them are just looking for an excuse to get a newer phone such as the razr or the galaxy nexus. Some of them need to be slapped around and told "your acting like an apple fanboy".

But once you root and put gingervolt on it, it is amazing. Mt has done some great things with this phone. (and root is easy now with his kit in development section)
The LG Revolution has very little community support. I wouldn't get it if you like having the latest in Android. Get a Nexus phone instead.

The LG Revolution is a very good phone. It has a terrible draw back, it doesn't have anything to make it a "flagship" phone. It doesn't have expansive speaker sound. It doesn't have wicked gadgets and dodads. It isn't the thinnest, the lightest, it doesn't have the best screen. Honestly, if you want a phone mentioned above, they are out there. What this phone is, is a phone. But what this phone has, that no other phone has: fans. It has the most loyal fan base of any phone I have ever seen. I have had many phones, and the forums, and the dedications to the development of this phone, are beyond anything you can imagine. And a lot of these guys have never developed until this phone. If these guys were not here, there would be no LG Revolution today. But through, their hard work, dedication, and our desire to want more, the LG survives. LG knows this, they know we are here, I hope they use it as inspiration to create a better phone.
The phone has no major issues. The phone is easy to unlock, get in, and rom away. It is a treat to be able to flash something new, in 5 minutes. Unfortunately, because this is not a "flagship" phone, there is a limited number of developers. But there is a plus to that: quality roms, themes, and mods.
I love my phone. I love the community. I have upgradeitis (to be unhappy a day after owning a product, and a desire to buy bigger and better) (my wife hates it) but I am completely happy with this phone. I don't know how many days I have until I can get a new phone, because I don't care. I am more than fine with using this one, until I get piss ass drunk and destroying it in a mad rage. (story is for dramatic purposes only)
Pretty bad I would say. Especially if you already have a Droid Charge. It has crappy stock software and an overall unrefined feel that usually comes about with LG Android phones. Not even close to being worth wasting an upgrade on especially with all the nicer phones available. Honest opinion lol

I attribute this answer to drug use. Really what is going on with the youth today.

And honestly, from the Charge, you are looking at a step up in looks alone (Charge is dang ugly) but mostly it would be a step over, if you remain in stock.
I bought this phone for two reasons: cnet had a review, that compared it to the iphone. (although, it really doesn't beyond the surface, I think the iphone has a better core system) And with in a day, it was opened and unlocked. With in a week it was Superoneclicked. That kind of openness has not been seen for awhile.
If you choose to wait.. I would wait until the Googlrola comes out. Android is all about being open, I would hope that their phone would be as well. It may be a bit, Tmobile, and Sprint will have first crack at a completely Google phone. Until then, you could have this gem.
So I just looked up Motorola in the news, and they are already planning for the RAZRMAX, it will have a better screen than the Samsung Galaxy, and a bigger, better battery.
Some may call me crazy, but I actually upgraded to the Revo from an iPhone 4 and never looked back.
The community, the ease of modifying, and general fun-ness of the phone really made me happy.
My one major complaint about the phone is the poor battery life.
Good programs exist to help out with that, they just don't play well with the phone.
Other than that, I have never regretted the move.

Indeed, but to my recollection, it was notable compared to the Iphone in that department. There are programs, and over and under clocking that can be done. Like I told MT, I just did the Gingervolt 1.3 and the new kernel, and I have a really good battery life. With in the next couple weeks, as Android learns, it will get better.

Well, I don't think any of us have the original home screens. As far as me, I run gingervolt 1.3, Mt has screen shots on the development pages. And then I am using meezys theme? I should really put that in a signature so I can remember. Its either that, or indys.

So there's no possible way on earth this phone isn't the greatest device ever made? And your opinion is a fact where mine is "attributed to drug use?" That's pretty childish I think.
I've used the Charge, HTC Thunderbolt, Droid X, Droid 2, Droid 1, Incredible, Fascinate if i'm remembering all. Did you just upgrade from a LG Dare or something? In comparison with these and other phones the Revolution just feels cheap and unrefined. Look anywhere on people's opinions of LG android phones. They aren't exactly in the highest regard. But that probably won't matter to you since someone with opposing views must be on drugs.
It helps looking at things objectively, just because you use this phone doesn't make it great. Also stop writing off your opinions as facts, and let the person decide.
OP get the Galaxy Nexus if you want something that will actually have the current software and will be supported in a timely manner. Also it's a polished and smooth device as evident by the reviews. A future proof device worth upgrading to I would say.
The revolution is the worst of the big screen LTE phones on Verizon. Anyone telling you different is fooling themselves so they can be happy with it. I highly recommend not getting it. In fact I'll ask you not to get it, as I dont want to see Verizon or LG make another dollar off it. Many people have already jumped off board and many others wish they could.

Okay, All the people on here ripping this phone apart. No right now I wouldn't get this phone again given the choices I have of other LTE phones that have been released since this phones inception. If I went back to when I got the phone there is no other option for me. I think the Charge just looks like a piece of junk (if you like it go for it and buy it). The Thunderbolt is HTC and I'm just anti-HTC because of sense. With the phones out now I would either get the Droid Bionic or wait another month or 2. I don't want the Galaxy Nexus because the storage isn't removable (it's either that or the battery. Either way that's no go for me.) The RAZR doesn't have a removable battery so another no go for me there too. Who knows what will be out in a few months. Above all else OP get what you want. Go to the stores and play with each phone for some time to get used to it. Also, don't forget that Verizon lets you switch phones as long as you do it within a week. At least they used too. I hope this was helpful
If it was today, I wouldn't get this phone.. just like all hardware, new and improved hardware is delivered every day... but when I did get this phone back in the summer, I wouldn't have chosen anything else.. I picked it over the iPhone, over the thunderbolt, and over the charge... several things made me pick it.. the big screen, Netflix( at the time it was the only phone with Netflix.. ) and finally, IMO,it has the most responsive touch screen I have ever seen.. my gf likes it much better than her thunderbolt..
If you can get this phone for under 150 I would still get it today, even with the lte lineup.. it is much better than a lot of their premium phones and 100 times better than their cheap lte android phones..

Don't waste upgrade on this phone!!!!!!!! GNEX is coming out on Dec. 9 and the RAZR is awesome itself. You will regret getting this phone once you see how the razr and gnex work. They are both clean and fast. If the gnex has a better radio than previous Samsungs, it will be the bees knees.
