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

If you're ever thinking of selling/giving the phone to someone, let me know. It'll be a backup. In case I brick mine during development.

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.

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...

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

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!!!

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.

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.

So over decided I'm going to take my LG Thrill back for the Infuse. The LG build is terrible, the 3D is a gimmick, the battery life is horrible, and I can't stand 2.2.2 with no new roms. And the LCD Display. The Infuse wins and has an LG Thrill. Sorry guys. I'm out. Thank you for everyone that has helped me in the past. Goodbye.

The Infuse is awesome, but wait till tomorrow and get the GS2. The Infuse development is going downhill FAST, all the devs are moving to the GS2.
The gs2 is 200 dollars. I don't have the money :/. And I like the infuse more. Its the screen and the MIUI rom .

id say keep the thrill. i have mine and at one point i started hating it. but dam its amazing now. i was throwing it between the infuse and thrill too. in the end its the exact same thing except it has 3d and the dual stuff. plus right now my thrill is soooo fast compared to how fast it was b4 when i did some things to it. battery life is decent. unless ur completely addicted to it, sitting in the closet and paying with it 24/7, the battery life is fine. especially if u order the longer lasting battery.
I think I'm going to keep it now, flashed the Thriller rom and now it seems that I'm fine.

let me tell you, watching 3D blu rays on your phone is DEFINITELY a gimmick.
definitely
My girlfriend and i both have captivates and she said hers was getting hot. I didnt think of anything as all phones get a little warm while charging. However when i grabbed it last night, it was so hot it could have burnt my hand. It feels hotter than most dinner plates at resturaunts. New battery does the same thing. What could it be? Two bad batteries?
Sent from my SPH-P100 using Tapatalk
If it's still under warranty, I would suggest taking it back in to AT&T. (If you've modded it, make sure it's back at stock first, of course.) It sounds like a hardware issue, and if you explain it to them, they might swap it out for you with one that doesn't behave that way.
Someone else may be able to offer a different/better solution, but if you've got hardware getting that hot, that signals to me that it's going to be trouble down the line, and it's better to take care of it now.
Not under warranty. Took in to store and att rep said something inside smells like its melting.

could be alot of things. first try changing the ROM on your device. How's your battery life? which part seems hottest?
Battery life sucks. Rom is stock froyo rooted. battery life was worth with other custom roms and stock seemed best since shes not into the whole modding scene like me. I think were just going to get her a samsung infuse probably.

Yes. Possible solution: turn down call volume. What I think is happening: the mic for noise cancellation is actually being used as a call mic. That plus the speaker being louder is causing the callers to hear themselves with a cell delay. Maybe.
Sent from my almost cm7 p925
Yea. Arcee, in my opinion has made the best rom for the Thrill. May still be buggy but its amazing. And I myself at least don't have any problems with battery life. And with ICS and CM9 on the way, things are only gonna get better.
I got the phonecall echo as well. CM7 SK3 had a dark green camera issue as well, waiting for the next version to try it again. Rdannar did some great work for us, and as sad as it is to lose him, we still have many excellent development cooking up new software for this model, and it's only going to get better, especially with ICS getting a lot of O3D experimentation. Don't look down, friends- look forward!
