Thrill 4G

Whos getting the Thrill 4G?
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...

It does look nice but I'm gonna stick with HTC products.

They meant the Inspire is nice, not the Thrill.

Now I'm thinking the galaxy s2 released Monday is a better choice.

The Thrill is my AT&T company phone, I'm an employee, and the battery life is ABYSMAL! If you thought the Inspire was bad, wait til that one comes out. Trust me, don't do it. Trying to setup my Exchange email, battery dropped from 93 to 79 in about 10 minutes of me fiddling with it. All on "4G".

The thrill is a nice phone to an extent. I am not a huge fan of the 3D screen on it but the 3D camera is kinda of cool. I would still rather have a samsung or htc device. I was playing with one for a few days but wasnt a huge fan.

This wont be on Att I bet though. And besides, it wont be much better than the sgs2 anyway. It'll most likely have the 720p screen to stand out.

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 was at a store today and i was able to use the samsung galaxy nexus for quite a while.. i was thinking of getting it next month but i was quite disappointed after playin with it.. my optmus 2x is much faster on ics! the only thing i loved about it was its screen... it was like.. whoa!! the perfect screen.. but even its launcher was too laggy :/ scrolling from apps to widgets screen made the phone look sooo slow.. what is your opinion on it?? should i get one of these or better avoid them?

My opinion is: do not judge the phone by how it behaves on the stock rom

hmmm i guess you are both right.. but isnt it strange that it is so crap out of the box?? if someone isnt in the modding trick he will be crying for the (lots of) money he gave for it.. and its the latest google official phone which should be flying while all the rest phones are walking..

Petition for better stock rom

This phone is awesome but as many will agree the ICS update has many flaws. And I do not feel it is right to leave the HTC vivid in this condition. Here's why:
1) ICS has been officially updated since our 4.3 release, fixing many bugs.
2) Many games as well as other things lag a great deal and being this a high end device we should not be experiencing lag on games like gun bros, MC3 among many other games where rapid fire guns lag the device to were the game becomes unplayable.
3) All of the other bugs mentioned on other threads.
Yes I am happy we got ICS but it was a quick patched release, and the phone deserves a better more complete Rom release for those that don't root.
Please sign this petition stating any issues you are expreicing with ICS sandwhich for the HTC Vivid, so I can then send it over to A&TT and HTC tech department. Because if nothing is said the phone will be left in its current condition.

1. One I attach exchange to the phone I can no longer install APK files, rendering humble bundles or app development ruined for me
2. Graphics are lousy for how much hardware is inside this handset, I suspect the drivers are to blame.
Now that the HTC One devices are out, I don't think that they will care, they have already moved on from the vivid.
Thankfully we have XDA

I haven't had any problems with lag. My phone is actually pretty fast thanks to WCX Rom. I haven't gotten into a lot of games, but my GTA III would slightly lag when I was on GB. Now that my phone is on ICS I can play the game with all the settings up without any lag. I might understand if you're not rooted and well, that would actually be more helpful than waiting for a petition to be approved. That is if it ever does..

I'd like to see the voice dialer replaced, the wifi bug gone, an lte toggle, crt and overscroll animations, and the sense 4 launcher. I doubt we'll ever see that from at&t or HTC but hopefully a developer on here can make that happen.

I can't root or anything because all of the methods here require a computer which I don't have. I'm sorry but I'm really pissed because I'm on stock ics and a lot of my payed apps now lag as well as free ones. My wife's pantect burst puts my phone to shame with no lags ever. On stock my phone is crap.

Have you tried a factory reset and reinstalling? Only thing I'm experiencing lag with is several third party keyboards and that's an ics issue. All apps run fine on my phone and its fast. Overall if we just had an lte toggle I'd be happy

Really? My Vivid runs so well stock that I havent bothered even to root it
I agree with MC3 lagging. Prolly Gamelofts fault since it chokes on my buddies ATT Note and Skyrocket (same SoC) but all the rest run flawlessly like Dead Space, Riptide, Nba Jam, Shadowgun, Sonic Episode 4, GTA3 etc.
Otherwise, im really happy

Try to factory reset, and reinstall u'r apk / rooting and used script like supercharger. Root doesnt need a computer, u can used zip file and place it on sd. Attempt to bootloader and it will automatically rooting yours.

Getting a new one in the mail and I'm not upgrading it until it gets fixed. Gingerbread is a more stable all around release. Just noticed as well HTC custom swype is not on ICS. Since ill have both versions ill post a review of both.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

All I can say is gingerbread is better in so many ways. Here's my list:
1. Battery is 50% better meaning I get twice as many hours on one charge.
2. Keybroad vibration doesn't glitch out. Meaning it vibrates on every keystroke.
3.All menus are the same color, green making the phone look better.
4.Apps load and respond a lot faster.
5. I have way more ram available almost a half a gig free
6. I have a lot more system settings available.
7. Sense is better, like the news app has a lot more options.
My list can go on, the only cons are the new features ICS has but I can use third party apps for some. ICS is slower and HTC released a poor update, I over the "i got ICS hype". It sucks, I have both systems side by side and tested them all day long. Sony was right gingerbread wins hands down. Now I'm happy with my phone.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Yeah but the gingerbread launcher blows. You can't customize the dock, folder support is intact but not as refined and your forced to have 7 home screens whether or not you want them or not. Course you could always just use adw

I love that my phone never reboots or force closes apps, however my infuse 4g was faster in terms of touch response and battery life. Sometimes I feel like ics on the.vivid is a little slow

ICS was fast as hell when I first upgraded now it's gotten noticeably more laggy which is a bit odd. Maybe not laggy so much just losses smoothness at times.

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.

Crap. I was hoping for better news. HTC promised a fix and apparently delivered a half baked version of a fix. Less tint isn't a fix. Thanks for sharing though.

Mine runs better but then again i am still locked. Judging by the OP going back to 4.1 i bet he flashed it on his own, which probably accounts for a large amount of the issue.

Mine is noticeably faster. The xda app has been god awful since the last update, so that is not due to 4.3.

No problems here! enjoying the update! Also not rooted or unlocked.

Don't use the XDA app, but everything seems good for me. Completely stock, not rooted. Longest I've ever kept a phone this way, and if I can find a way to tether without root, I don't know that I'll feel the need to for a long while.

i didn't flash the update i went back to stock and then updated to 4.3 ... im s-off so i just went back to 4.1.2

I'm not rooted or unlocked. Never have been in this phone. I'm noticing faster than normal battery drain and a laggier scrolling experience if you will. Phone still flys, but not what I expected.

did it last afternoon, and then did a factory reset. I didn't see any power drain problem, maybe even better, but the signal strength seems to be lower, which according to others might just been the data signal strength.

I noticed the laggy scroll too.. and transitions back to the home screen

I'm having an annoying issue. I keep my phone on vibrate most of the time but like to turn off the vibrate function in apps like Twitter, Facebook, Gmail, etc so I don't get a vibration when someone tweets me, emails me, etc. Since the update, it still vibrates when the box isn't checked. Can anyone try to replicate? Thanks
