Switching back to thrill from wp7 - LG Thrill 4G

I had a thrill back before gingerbread. I was wondering how much the performance and battery life and improvements have fixed the phone. Any info at all would be great I would hate to make the switch and regret it. I am trading my phone on Craigslist.

gotta say....i'm kinda disappointed

Why is the ROM development taking forever for this phone? I am just an Android enthusiast and have the utmost respect for the devs, but I am contemplating returning this phone for lack of support.

I guarantee that when the gingerbread or icecream sandwich update comes out development will pick up. What we really need right now is a way to get our radio compatible with optimus 3d roms. There's a lot of development for that phone which is identical except for the fact it doesn't support all the same basebands. Its roms work for the Thrill except no 4g and no mms. They have a cyanogenmod project going too.
EDIT: maybe getting some bounties going would help...

Anybody know where to find the CPU frequency tables in the kernel source?
I'm working on a kernel and can't for the life of me find the actual frequency tables.

They have a few things going for it. I love the phone but this is my first Android device.

I'm not disappointed due to lack of support, as it's a new phone without a lot of hype. I'm REALLY disappointed with the quality control LG is putting out there. I really wanted to like the Optimus 2X/G2X, but they had awful QC. I figured they'd fix it for the 3D, but sure enough, mine is going right back to Amazon for an exchange. 5 hours of battery while idle and a touch screen that's all over the place doesn't instill confidence, nor does the constant rebooting. Everything about this phone screams "PLACEHOLDER!", and it's a shame because it's a solid phone that FEELS great.

After Consideration

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 .

I miss my thrill

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

Talk with att

Just talked to att fond out LG has problems with the thrill and are working on fixing it, I hope they do this soon and I'm getting a 4G sim card turns out I'm not getting 4G speeds because my sim is to old

What problems? They say that about every Android device.
Mine is working just fine, sans the occasional glitch, which I also had on my Atrix, and the wife's Inspire, and my captivate, and the GS2 I tried... See a pattern?
Oh, and even my iPhones had problems.
No problems here.
They said that some of the thrill's battery's cause power failures like mine and have freezing problems another problem I have I had to warranty mine out

Well after getting a new battery it does seem to work better and it is nice not having to charge 2-3 times a day.

Lately my battery has been dying pretty fast. I think it's either going bad or SPB Launcher is draining it.
Got my new battery my phone already works better

I'm very lucky that I haven't had too much trouble with my thrill. Battery life sucks, but that's because of the software...

i can imagine a graphics intensive launcher like spb will drain your battery pretty quickly.
...fighting ninjas at night, talkin' about this and that.

No more hope?

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.

Yes, Rogers 925 getting 2.3.5

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 just hate how the extended batteries look :/ I'm might just get a USB extended battery

AT&T Optimus G to AHD?

Hey I just purchased the optimius g for att and am thinking about exchanging it for the ahd since it has jb now and its only a penny at best buy.. Just wondering if anybody else has switched and regretted it or are happy with their decision?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Haven't messed with the Optimus G. But the battery life on the AHD is superb with the EB40. Can't speak for everyone, but I've had absolutely no performance or battery issues with it. The lack of an unlocked bootloader kinda sucks but stock feels so clean. It's a matter of opinion.
Sent from my Jellybeaned Atrix HD MAXX
Optimus G is nexus 4 without the thermal issues. since you're considering the atrix hd I assume you don't care too much about roms, so that shouldn't be an issue.
in short, don't do it.
The Optimus G and Atrix HD share a common thread - development and the lack thereof. You won't see a plethora of hacks out there for them nor should you expect to. Go with the device that, for you, provides the most bang for your buck. The Atrix is crippled by low internal memory that cannot be fixed without rooting.
Atrix HD is a awesome device with lack of rom development, that is the only issue I have.
Thanks guys sorry I couldn't get back to anybody yesterday... I do like to flash ROMs but mainly to get to a stock like feel.. the ahd pretty much already has that for me.. I usually only have about a a gig of apps... even now with all my apps back on the phone... music and videos I still have 2gigs of internal memory left.. I liked the OG but I hated the Ui and the glass back cracking from temperature change was something I didn't want to deal with so I made the exchange. I would like root to get rid of the bloat instead of just disabling though.. is that achievable with jb yet? Other than that the only thing I plan on doing is the eb40 swap and I should be happy for now lol...

if you've already updated to JB, you're out of luck.
