Just wanted to thank everyone here for making this phone enjoyable. I come from my og droid (may she rest in peace) to the revo and i thought I'd be stuck in stock rom hell forever but you guys have done amazing things with it, so thank you all!

Glad you like it! Hopefully CM9 can get of the ground soon to!

I'll second that!
I jumped to Verizon the day before unlimited data went away and the best option (only option, imho) was the Revo.
I was so disappointed with the phones performance coming of a rom'd G2X (left tmo only because of poor coverage in my area). Without this awesome community this phone would be next to useless but now even my girl (she got the G2X) is jealous! Thanks guys!
same....
got the revo day before they were about to close unlimited. at that time there were only 3 phones with 4g for vzw (charge, thunderbold and the revo)
wasn't very impressed at first but after MTs and the gang's work....its pretty sweet

That would be amazing... I can only imagine how difficult it must be to port to the revo. I hereby volunteer to be the Guinea pig! Lol

Wow, working 4g? I'm impressed, I'll give it shot when it comes out
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
Amazing! I believe 4g should work because of 2.3.4
Am I right?
Im skeptical about 4G working... but ya never know. Mostly becasuse this hasn't been incorporated into any buld that I'm aware of and a 'port' would imply that it wasn't re-built to include it. Fingers crossed though!
Yeah.. No 4G is a deal breaker for me.. I use 4G about 90% of my 11hr work day..
Crossing my fingers but skeptical cat is skeptical.

Is that gingerbread for the LG Revolution?

This is the updated firmware that came out a few months ago. It is Android 2.2 but supposedly has an improved radio and some other improvements. So far it is unrootable. Rumor says Gingerbread will be out sometime in October then progress will continue on CyanogenMod 7 build that TheCubed is working on.
I upgraded to this, replied on the wrong thread but here are my findings..
I am in NE Ohio and my bars are mostly full and 4g doesn't switch to 3g at all in my house but only had this for an hour now.. speed test pings faster and first test at 10Mbps when usually lower at home. Will continue testing..
Going from airplane mode back to LTE seems quicker.. Less lag time when going in to mobile data that you have to wait for connectivity. I think I will stay with this for now. I also want the GB update (rumored this month) ASAP and don't want to wait for someone to post it, then I can try to root it myself. *Fingers Crossed*
While you can never completely trust what support people say...
http://www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/carriers/verizon/topics/revolution-gingerbread-update
They were pretty good about the news when it came to the froyo update for the ally so im hopeful itll be soon
So we've heard a couple of second-hand accounts of a release in mid-October and now the LG tech saying "soon." This is good, really. It's just so hard to wait, since this phone isn't fully functional without GB. Pretty much nothing can use the front-facing camera until this comes out

Just so everyone knows. The LG Esteem is the same exact phone as the LG Revolution. Just a different carrier and different OS. Myself and mtmichaelson have been trying to contact people who have the LG Esteem to get a system dump from them to make porting Gingerbread to our phones easier. Hopefully we should have something to tell you guys soon.
Woot! Keep it up guys!

I'm not even really worried about rooting it. I just want it on my phone! Lol!
Hey guys, just a quick update before going to bed for 2 hours of sleep, root has been accomplished! I was able to help get super user working properly after they were able to gain access. It has not been released to the masses, but will be soon. In return for a little bit of my assistance, I now have in my possession the full system dump and the boot.img from the gingerbread build on the esteem and will be working to see if it can somewhat easily be ported over.

I am unsure as to what this means?
that was one of the things that drew me to this phone over the charge and thunderbolt, it supported VoLTE out of the box
here's a link to engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/20/verizons-reportedly-trials-volte-services-in-two-cities-eyes-n/
recognize that phone in the picture?
here's one from last Feb: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/09/verizon-successfully-completes-first-volte-call-in-the-world-pl/
Hot dang. I have no clue what that all means, but I am glad it's on meh phone.
Edit: So does this mean that we can soon use tablets to call with bluetooth? That we don't need a radio to call? Hmm? That would seem interesting, and would make Verizon the leader of LTE indeed.
I heard it from my Verizon store.... anyone know when its sposed to happen
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
all verizon has said is that it's supposed to launch nationwide in 2013, was supposed to launch this year. they've been testing it with the Revolution since last February.
It is the first phone you can actually Talk and surf the web at the same time.
VoLTE (Voice over LTE). You have to have 4G and you have to wait till next year. I love Verizon...
Like Kane it was one of the features that drew me to this phone but since Verizon has yet to put 4G in my area, I forgot about this feature. I bought this 4G phone because Verizon said it would be available in my area in October 2011... Here we are almost February 2012... No 4G. Now I am just shooting for before the end of the world in December...
That can't be true because... the revolution is current using 3g voice and text

All the 4g phones on Verizon are able to talk and text. I believe they are talking about making it so your phone calls and text messages will be carried over 4g compared to how Verizon transfers your calls and texts currently. It'll probably lead to your phone calls being much clearer in the future since it will be carried over a better network than it is currently.

Not everyone lives in a 4G area... I live just north of LA and there is no 4G here which is odd as I can toss a rock and hit LA.
I can talk on the phone and tether at the same time, also text and all. For those of you that think VoLTE will be coming to the Revo, remember this phone has reached it's END OF LIFE. Whoever posted those articles the 2nd one was from last February. There are no more updates coming to this phone, there is no ICS until we get cm9. Someone would have to come up with a hack most likely to enable VoLTE on the Revo.

Might go with this .. I havent been satisfied with how my revo works since I got it. Thought updates would help but no luck ...seems to me a big memory leak somewhere I can't even run my work app. Without issues and it is pretty rudementary ...my OG Droid worked great til screen died ..not a fan of LG myself either. So we shall see how it goes .....thanks for your input

I just bought my wife a RAZR MAXX and I'm impressed. I'd say RAZR MAXX all the way. The Revolution isn't bad once you get Gingervolt on it though. It's useless without it IMO.

Personally I'd keep the REVO (make sure it's ROM'd) and wait for the Galaxy SIII.
