I'm going to buy a used LG Thrill here very soon and just wondering if there's anything device specific i should look out for?
i.e. known issues specific to the thrill.

Yeah. Get an extended battery as well.
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G
It really depends on usage.
If you have wifi, gps, bluetooth, and your cell antenna turned on, of course the battery will drain fast.
Then add a bunch of apps with startup permissions and watch it drain a little faster.
I can get through a work day without charging.
The only major issue I see is the lack of support.

Quick question, is there stopped to be a void sticker on any of the screws under the battery cover?

Sent from my LG Thrill Faux G
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.

Need input, guys.
I've got a Bolt and a guy off of Craigslist is offering to trade his two day old Revolution with extended battery for my Bolt with extended battery.
What do you guys think about that? How does your phone compare? Is there good development for the Revolution? I only saw a couple of active ROMS on here.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using xda premium
There's mainly one ROM creater, MT, but the thunderbolt is getting ICS and prolly has more devs. Its up to you. But LG support for this phone sucks. If you like the t bolt stick with it.

This is my opinion but keep the Thunderbolt. I was gonna choose that phone over the Revo but I chose the Revo and I'd say it was my biggest mistake since I like the Bolt more but the Revo's community is quite nice and welcoming not so sure about the Thunderbolt's.

Haha. Yeah there are some prima donnas on the Bolt message boards. Well he's agreed to give me his Revolution with 3000mAh battery plus $40 for my Bolt with 2 extended batteries (2400&2600mAh) and Trident Extended Battery cases.
Are there any recommended extended battery cases for the Revolution?

There are no cases for the revo that fit the extended battery. Sucks

As of right now the only way to root it is to manually flash it with ZV7. You can then use MT's tools to root it, get your update to ZV8, and finally flash the Broken Out 1.1 ROM (which is awesome by the way).

Got it. So just downgrade to ZV7 and then root.
Cool. I'll mess with that in a couple of days. Thanks for the help.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using xda premium
Welcome to the forum please feel free to post and ask questions, there are a lot of supportive people here that make the revo shine.
The downside is theres only a few rom devs the upside is the commun. While small its personal and you get the help you need quick. No cm7 yet but the roms we do have are solid and get updated quickly and often.
Well the guy backed out on it but I appreciate the positivity. Definitely lacking that on the Bolt forum.

Better then before I take it.
I had crappy battery life on stock. Today I put Thrill Seeker on my phone and I have had it unplugged for about 12 hours, it was at 100%, then through loading and restoring apps, text messages, etc, making phone calls... So decent use, it's now at 63%.
So that might be an option for you.

The 3D seems actually quicker to start up. It doesn't have the 3D Game Converter I don't think, but someone on stock might be able to throw that up so you can put it into system/app.

it could happen with any battery if quality is not good or diminished. I think so at least Check your battery, does it look out of shape?
You could try a friends battery, or an alternative rom could also be another issue.
You can also experiment with the power saving features to turn them of.
Uninstall if any, power saving apps/ screenfilter apps.

Doesn't the warranty on batteries last for 12 months ? Why not get Samsung to replace it if it fails withing that time frame.
Then again, For the price of one, Is it worth all the aggro of sending it to Samsung, Waiting, Waiting some more, Then having it sent back ?
They do go pretty cheap online, And the Anker 5000mah are worth considering (except the size increase)

As they're classed as consumables I believe warranty on batteries is only 6 months, but I think it would be great if we could somehow make samsung aware of how short the battery life is on these, maybe some sort of petition.

Yes, It will work. However it will most likely drain the battery in about 5 hours, you may consider the EB40 battery mod.
