HELP!! Replacement Thunderbolt...Please read
Hello, I just recently replaced my thunderbolt due to it being faulty. It was sending texts to the wrong person after pressing send and the message default app was tremendously slow. I got my replacement device Tuesday and sent back the old one and they received it today. I track everything. Now my questions are... 1. My…
Adobe question
Once I have read a downloaded Adobe file, how can I delete it? I see where I can "clear recent viewed", but not where I can delete file.
Still no Update
Ever since the announced release of the July 8th update for the reboot issue, I have been checking for the software update regularly. Every time I hit "check new" the phones tells me "checking for new software available now", then a few seconds later the message disappears and still no update. It has been more than two…
Charge Phone While Off or On
Hello - I usually shut down my phone to charge. Shut down about 11pm, charge overnight, and wake up next morning and power the phone back up. I find the battery takes a deeper charge if it is not also powering the phone (in standby) while it is charging. Also shutting down the phone clears the temp files, etc and starts…
Maps wallpaper shows world map
I've been using the maps wallpaper and it would show me the immediate area around my location on my home and other screens. For some reason it shows the entire world. I can't find anywhere to change it. Suggestions?
Got lost in the menus
I found 2 nice options when I first received my T-bolt and now can't find them to change. 1) I remember an option where the device does not turn off while charging 2) the manner in which the screen changes from one way (like sweep) to a different way (like flip or a cube) Any ideas where I go to find these?

When I go to Softwatre update -> Status, it says: Source: Verizon Wireless Name: Status:…
WiFi versus 4G Lte
I'm not sure how to ask these questions, so bear with me. What is the difference between WiFi and 4G Lte? If there is a WiFi hotspot available, should I use it instead of 4G Lte? If WiFi is enabled and connected, will it take priority over 4G Lte? Which do most apps use? I have an unlimited data plan so usage isn't an…

PEOPLE contacts doubling
My contacts are doubling, but not all. There is an almost randomness to it. Many double but not all. When I should have about 180 contacts, now I show over 300. I use the Backup Assistant and it shows the doubling also. I used HTC Sync at home to synch (what should be) the same contacts in my Outlook contact file, and I…
Congratulations! Every time I plug my Thunderbolt into my USB on my PC
Every single day I curse VZW.... Why? Because every time I plug my Thunderbolt into my USB I have to deal with your dialog box and auto launch of the Media Manager web page. I'm sure that's the reaction you hoped for when decided to load this spamware onto my Thunderbolt's O/S...and then gave me no way to turn it off on…
Gingerbread Update?
When is the 2.3 update going to be available to the HTC Thunderbolt? I heard 2nd quarter; now 3rd. Is it ever coming? I also heard that with the upgrade, the Thunderbolt will finally have the capability of doing Skype Video Chat. True??

Been waiting for 2+ hours for my new phone to "activate". Anyone else have this problem??
Cannot get ring tones to download.
I got two ringtones from the media store, and they show up as purchased. I got the text messages right away. When I click the message I get message options, and the only two options to save are: "Save to People" and "Save audio". If I choose to save audio, I get an error message that says "unable to save attachment". This…
Picture message keeps failing
I literally just got back from the Verizon store to see if they could help me fix the problem, it seemed like they did until I left. But I have had a problem sending picture messages to anyone. This all started when I did the most recent update for the phone a little less than a month ago. When I went to the store they…

Playing music through car stereo via headset connection
Just got my thunderbolt yesterday. Prior to this, I played music through my stereo from my phone or Ipod using a cable connected to the headset connector. With my thunderbolt, I only hear music through the left speakers. Any suggestions?
HTC Sync with Outlook
To people who sync outlook contacts and calendar using the HTC Sync software: Are the contacts synced into the standard 'people' app on the phone? Or in a separate app created by the sync software? and My contacts are separated into categories. Are the categories shown on the phone? Thanks! MarvinH
HTC Thunderbolt power issue after using car charger
My son and I both have the HTC Thunderbolt, and have both experienced the same issue with the battery drain after using the Verizon car charger. Each and every time after the phones have been plugged into the car charger, the phones well get about 2 – 4 hours of stand by life MAX. Both phones get very hot and the battery…
Manage contacts
I'd like to be able to manage my contacts on my desktop computer rather than fool with the Tbolt screen. I tried using the HTC Sync software, but I can't get it to recognize the phone when I plug it in, and I'm not sure that's the solution anyway. What I want to do is just be able to manage my contacts (save, edit, delete,…
NFL app will not work
Why is the NFL now not working on Thunderbolts running asop roms such as CM7? It gives an error "NFL content can only be viewed by active Verizon users" Verizon certainly knows I am a active user as they bill me for my calls/texts/data. To throw a wrench into this the NFL app works just fine with a Dinc or DX running CM7.

Locked Screen Banner with contact information
Is there a way to add a banner with my contact info to the screen when my phone is locked? When I lock my phone for security purposes, I would like to add a banner that has my contact information just in case I lose my phone and a good Samaritan wants to contact me to return it.
