Factory Reset Did The Trick
After dealing with all of the sluggishness since the OTA update, I finally broke down and did a factory reset...phone works like a charm now. Could be because it doesn't have a lot of apps on it, but the phone is much, much quicker and the 4G is now working great! Just thought I'd share.
GPS without cell plan? Google Maps, Sygic, others..
Will the verizon HTC Rezound provide GPS without a cellular plan? (The initial maps and data would be downloaded via wifi.) This worked with the Motorola Atrix HD (downloading map data via wifi, then using GPS later with no wifi or cellular connection), so I know it is possible. It worked with Google Maps, Sygic…

Reset people call defaults
I accidentally set Sykpe as the default method to call a number from my people screen. How do I change or cancel the default?
Mobile Hotspot Keeps Cutting Out (3G)
For starters, I am not in a 4G area. Most places I go have excellent 3G service, so reception is hardly ever an issue. One feature I love it the Mobile Hotspot; I do a lot of work on my laptop but wireless (or rather, trusted wireless) isn't always available. Right after I got the phone, I set up the Mobile Hotspot (WPA2…
My phone now suddenly requires a password
My phone in the last 15 mins decided that I must now have a password to unlock it. I don't have a password... ergo, I now can't use my phone. Anyone know how to fix this?
Best way to backup for a factory reset?
I'm having problems with my HTC Thunderbolt after the ICS OS upgrade and I am going to try a factory reset as recommended by many in the forum. Any suggestions for the best/easiest way to back up data and restore after the upgrade? Thanks all.
Thunderbolt ICS Lockscreen
Does anyone know how to either remove or customize the lockscreen that came with the ICS update? I would like to have it link to Handcent instead of the stock messaging app, but I haven't figured out how to do it.

HTC Thunderbolt freezing/crazy screen
Has anyone else found a solution to the freezing of their HTC Thunderbolt screen or the craziness that goes on, such as opening applications, going in and out of message chats, random letter typing while you're attempting to text someone, etc?? I had asked my local Verizon store, when I went in 2 months ago (its now Feb…
Response time is extremely slow since update
Since the update over the weekend, my phone takes such a long time to respond to a touch that I wonder if it has completely frozen up. It's like this no matter what screen I am on or what tasks I am doing - all apps, pics, texts, etc...EVERYTHING IS SLOW!!! The signal suddenly drops when on calls and internet - 4G, 3G,…
When ever I talk on my phone no one can hear me.
I can hear them, but no one can hear me, is there something I can do to fix it, or am I the only one having this problem? Also my talk to text quite working is there any way to fix that?
HTC Thunderbolt - no longer an option to send a picture via text?
Why can't I send a picture from the internet via text anymore? I have a Thunderbolt (hold the laughter, please! :smileyhappy: ) and I used to be able to touch and hold an online picture to bring up a menu that had a "send via messages" option. It seems that with the Ice Cream Sandwich "update" we just got, this is no…

I am looking to buy a HTC Rezound that was on Page Plus. I tried to activate it however can not get phone calls to work, even the 611. Is it possible to get it to work on Verizon on my account? Data worked fine, i could receive texts as well but could not send. Thanks
Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
This download tries to update daily sometimes even 3-4 a day, it always fails to finish uploading. This has been going on now for about 3 weeks. I have good signal as well. This is getting to the point it is draining my battery with it's attempts to download. The whole download is very annoying!!!!
OTA Download failed
About once a day my phone tries to download this update (I'm assuming it's ICS), and it works on the download for a while and fails after getting to 100%. This happens both over 4G and wifi, and no other error messages or information are displayed. Not sure how to start troubleshooting this. Is there someplace I can look…
Quick Settings -> Power Efficiency: won't change from "On"
Here's a question for you guys. After taking ICS, I noticed in the new Quick Settings the feature for "Power Efficiency" with a toggle from Off to On. After the upgrade, I saw that this is flagged as "On" and thought "okay, whatever". After listening to everybody's discussion on the lack of battery power on ICS (and a…
Thunderbolt Restart Loop..?
My phone currently has been in a loop of constantly restarting itself no more past the HTC white screen over and over without any hope of turning over and fully powering on. Its been doing this for almost two weeks now. It does go directly to the HBOOT screen when the power and volume down key is pressed, but any commands…
When are we getting this ICS update?
I'm getting kind of tired of this. A year ago, it was said that by this time the Rhyme would have 4.0. So what's the deal? Have they even mentioned a date where they might release the update?
thuderbolt upgrade Feb 2013
i got the latest update on my thunderbolt and now my phone takes 30 seconds or so to load the home page any time i open the phone or return .. boils down to very slow navigation from on app to the next... not the idea for an upgrade and not what i once had prior to update.. very frustrating and not a happy customer .. the…
ICS update caused serious mail issues, and poor overall performance.
My wife and I both received the ICS update about a week ago and we've had different experiences. My wife's phone has performed pretty good with only a slight performance issue. Mine on the other hand has been quite painful. Mail Issues. I have noticed the biggest issue with Mail. For over 2 years, I've had 2 or 3 mail…
Phone call issues after ICS update on HTC Thunderbolt
Since the ICS update, I have to use speaker phone on my HTC Thunderbolt in order to be heard by the person on the call. I can hear them, but they can not hear me unless I activate the speaker phone option. I have been to 2 Verizon corporate stores, and emailed HTC with no response. Otherwise the update seems ok, phone is…
ICS Messaging Problems?
So I have the HTC Thunderbolt and updated to 4.0.4 ICS about a week or two ago. Tonight I have been having problems with the messaging app. It won't load my messages (not the new format, all that changed over for me a week or so ago), and I can't go to a specific person's contact and text that way. I can't even view a…
Text messages failing to number on same account
I try to text the other line on my account and it says service blocked at destination, same if they try to text me, but we can text everyone else. There are NO blocks on either phone. Some one pls help!
SIM card after the ICS upgrade
Just asking. I was also considering doing the factory reset because of multiple issues like everybody else has mentioned. For the first time, I went to look at the cards on the Thunderbolt (never had a need to take them out before) and saw that my SIM card seems almost "melted". Does this seem to make sense to you? The…
Phone continues to cycle to HTC screen
My previously perfectly fine phone is suddenly cycling through the HTC screen every time I try to turn it on. I do a safe boot and have tried all of the options there - including a factory reset - and nothing works. It just continues to go back to the HTC screen and then shut off, turn itself back on and stick at the HTC…

Phone issues after ICS update
The phone dialer has acquired a mind of its own. Sometimes it does not dial an entered number, and returns the phone to the home screen. Sometimes it refuses to dial a number in my phone log. It just sits there and does nothing. Somethings it experiences jet lag, After 10-15 seconds, it actually dials the number. Any ideas…
No handsfree phonebook in my Audi after the upgrade
Prior to the latest software upgrade to my Thunderbolt, I no longer have my contacts in the handsfree phonebook when I am connected via bluetooth. Every contact was there prior to the upgrade.... VERY FRUSTRATING... What is the fix to get back the contacts...
