My replacement came in..

Verizon has sent me a phone that has everything fcing from the second I finish setup for a phone that just had a hardware failure.
This can't be life.

I would say a call to Verizon is in order. I would make a case stating that this is too new of a phone to be having this many issues. Suggest an upgrade to a Bionic? Doesn't hurt to try!

or, if ok with the d3, you could try a sbf. just a suggestion ^_^

Lol I thought about just *****ing til they actually sent me a NEW d3 means if you don't send the defective one you pay the price of a NEW one. A bionic would be sweet, tho, lol.
I'm going to give it a few days and decide. It hasn't happened again as severe but a few apps have randomly just fc'd.
Makes me wonder if the last owner was a member here who bricked their **** lol.

So Friggin' Irritated!

Going to be down and out for a while, having problems with my replacement phone (random reboots) ARGH!
In order to trouble shoot it, Big Red wants me to leave it booted into safe mode (which means I can only use system apps) for a few days. If it happens again in safe mode (OMG this phone is worthless without any apps!) they will do a warranty swap and give me a different phone. They didn't say what phone they'll give me but put it in the notes that if I call back in with the same problem to give me a new phone.
Everyone keep your fingers crossed that it does is soon, it's going to be a pita not having Google Nav, Pandora, or WiFi Tether while at work
Edit: They tried to tell me that it's a known issue for the phone to reboot when switching between 3G/4G. They also tried to tell me it could be an app that's causing it or a corrupt file on my sdcard and that's why the replacement phone is having the same problem. Sounds like a load of BS to me.

Sorry to hear that. Hope everything goes well!

Status Update: Called again this morning, they proceeded to tell me it must be my sim card .... picked up a new one at the verizon store, I'll be calling them again tomorrow

Called them today they are sending me a new battery, phone, and sim. Ill give it a week and see what happens. The tech said the battery may be glitchy and te sim may be going. My issue is the phone just turns off and I have to restart it myself.

Going through the same process, my phone still has random reboots even with V8. And they said that all of them were fixed. I'm on my 3 revo, 2nd replacement.

wow wierd
havent heard that one before... im still on my first revo and thought by now i would have gone through a couple of them, keep us posted. although after changing everything i would think that would solve it.

So yea this new phone they sent me............. it sucks!!!! Tried to use it to call someone they couldn't hear me but I could hear them. No random reboots yet in 12 hours.

Edit: Figures I would get a tech who owns a Revo ... he said he's never had a problem with his and wasn't aware of any reboot issue with this phone (what a load of crap)
He did offer me a Charge or a TBolt ... I said no way! He then went back to sending me a replacement, didn't offer me anything else.

Apparently big red got more replacement revos , they're sending me one too.

I have had random reboots to i just went back to factory settings and im fine now nothing has happened like that.... But it could possibly be a app...

I get random reboots with the stock zv8 , screen freezes are quite often as well as losing data connection in a full 3g service area . My replacement was supposed to be here friday but it hasn't made it yet

True. I have a feeling that I'll run into the same situation as Kane did since I have the same problems and I have a feeling if they give me another Revo it'll just do the same thing.

I tried to get something a little newer, but the rep wouldn't budge ... I'm ok with getting a bionic, it's what I wanted to begin with but it wasn't out at the time.
My third phone didn't have the random reboots, it would become unresponsive and the only way to get it to work would be to either press the power button on and off or pull the battery.

Revolution off the shelves

I called verizon and complained about my pos revolution and they offered a droid 4 without offering me another rev. I asked why and they said they took the revs off the shelves so no more replacement revs. If you have probs then call and they will offer somethine else. I took droid 4 because i wanted to try it out. Maybe they have other phones available. Im not sure. This was the 1st time i called about my rev. Just relaying the info I got. Enjoy

It was still under warranty but i also have insurance. I didnt pay so it was definitely warranty. Just told them i had probs with rebooting and right away he said he would send a droid 4 and then i mentioned my wifes phone was having issues as well and asked if i could get 2...he checked and said yes. So i got 2 droid 4. Called last Saturday and got phones on Tuesday

So is there any way I can purposely "break" my phone so I can use my warranty? \:

Just call and tell them that it randomly reboots itself and the screen freezes all the time, they will probably want to troubleshoot it. Just tell them youve deleted messages and apps and did a hard reset and it still does it.

and for attempt number 1, they're sending me another Revo.
Damn.
Guess it's not the case as stated.

Most likely means your store/area still has Revos and plus since your first replacement they'll try their best to keep you in the same phone.

Last time i called, i made up some issues and they offered me the bionic. Of course it was the third revo i had gone through lol!

When I send it in, should I do do a hard reset or set it back to stock?
And assuming worse comes to worse, should I back up all my apps etc. on my computer? Just incase?

Definitely make sure its stock with all traces of root removed. Just flash a .tot upgrade to zv9 then factory reset.

You sir are my hero.

I'm on review #3 too, got it last week. I'm sure I'll need another one before September's upgrade.

Went through 4 revos before I was able to get the Nexus.

LG Thrill manufacturing

A few weeks ago i contacted at&t to ask questions about the LG Thrill. They responded by telling me that they no longer have the lg thrill in stock because LG has stopped manufacturing the phone ever since they released the LG Optimus 3D Max on the other side of the world. Question is: What phone shall we receive in case something happens to our LG Thrill? I have a 2 year warranty and insurance on my phone. Do they send us a refurbished one or do we get the option to upgrade or choose our replacement phone?

This is a good question for at&t and I believe most of returns on a discontinued product it would be refurbished or an equal device but I have heard many stories about different scenarios

I work for AT&T. The last one I had replaced for someone, they received the LG Nitro.

hmm sounds like a good deal, do the shoppers get to pick their replacement phone or does AT&T just give them the phone?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app

The one I had replaced was an insurance replacement. The site told them that's what the replacement would be, and if they had a problem with it, they would have to call in. I would presume, that even if they called in, the Nitro would still be the replacement.

well i think thats a good upgrade, cause to be honest any phone is better than the lg thrill. At least the nitro has an official ics leak out already
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app

I would not get your hopes too high. My dad recently had a replacnent for his OG Evo spent to him by sprint, of which reached it end of life probably about 8 months ago (or longer?), and it was the same phone. AT&T might not be selling them anymore, but you best bet that the insurance company they use has stocked up on them. And usually the insurance companies stock of the phone does not go down because they replace of the phone they send out, they get the customers broken one in replacment and refurbish it. If you want, try it, you will most likely get a refurb thrill

we have an AT&T worker that says otherwise though soooooo yeah
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app

Yeah, I mean I can't speak for Sprint, and (insert this for legal reasons) I can't speak on behalf of AT&T, but I do know the insurance company Asurion says they don't have the Thrill anymore. So they have been issuing the LG Nitro in its place. Which, in my opinion, isn't the best in the world, but it's a 4G LTE phone that operates as similar as you can get to the Thrill.

Asurion or the phone's warranty plan should lets us choose which phone of equal or lesser price we should recieve like : The LG Nitro or HTC Vivid which both cost the same and both are equal prices of the "Thrill"
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app

Can't argue with that, but can also see it from their standpoint. It's by the same manufacturer, and it was one of their next phones released after the Thrill. If they let people choose their replacement, it would get ridiculous. I say that from a sales rep pov.
You should hear some of the ridiculous crap that comes out of people's mouths when they come in after they break their phones and want a replacement. A lot of the time I swear they did it on purpose to try and get a different phone.

all i know is that in the next few days or week imma have an HTC Vivid or the LG Nitro
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app

Do you just want one of those phones or something? Or do you have to file a claim?
Edit: Read the original posting, I'm assuming something is wrong with your thrill?

my phone's battery has been dying to fast lately, im lucky if i get 3 hours on it when im only texting :\ ad usually my phone would last atleast from 6am-4pm, then i'd charge it and then it would last till i went to sleep like at 12 am. Im very disappointed: \

You can go into an att store and tell them your battery isn't holding a charge. They won't have one in stock , but they can mail you a free replacement. I've done for both Thrills I own.

I for one had a love/hate relationship with my Thrill. Loved it at first....hated waiting for the updates....but over all the phone has been GREAT! I rooted, but kept the stock ROM. Just froze some bloatware. Recently updated to ICS...LOVE IT! I would like to root again to get Tethering and to re-freeze apps, but so the solutions I am finding are too convoluted for me. I want something as simple as it was to root with GB using Megatron Exploit.
My contract is up in a month. I am definitely considering the Optimus G. Not a fan of the S3 form factor. Feels like a toy and don't like the rounded edges.

I love my Thrill but LG and ATT seriously upset me when it comes to updating. And the tools necessary to to modify this phone are ridiculous. Not so bad now that I have tinkered with things, but it look a long time to figure it all out. This phone would be junk if it were not for the few brilliant developers we have that took the time to work around LG's crap. I will probably never buy an LG phone again. I want something with over the air updates and I want to purchase it from a company that actually concentrates on the phones that are already out. Don't even get me started on things like cases and invisishields which you can't even find anymore at places like Best Buy, etc.

Never never never!!!!
I will never ever get another lg phone. The device itself is not bad, the issue is the service from lg themselves. Its nonexistent worst support ever. Im def going to another company when my 2 years is up.

I don't think I would probably go with a samsung s3 or s4 maybe a nexus. I would like to have an sd card though so the nexus probably wont happen. I dont even know what phones lg have out so I do like this phone though plus for a 100 buck and no data plan can't really beat it.

I've never seen such a laggy device. It's bizarre.

They really had no say so in what happened with ICS.
Part of it was AT&T's wrong doing by cutting the contract with LG for a while. They had to renew it before any decision to release another firmware/software was developed.
