Tbolt 4G Question
Okay, I'm looking at getting my first smartphone April 19th(the Thunderbolt). I know that I have to get the $29.99 data package which is fine. But will I have to pay more for the 4G? I noticed that people are saying that Tbolt buyers get "free" 4G until May 15th. So here is my question(s): When May 16th comes along....will…
4G for Thunderbolt in Honolulu Question
There seems to be no means for a newbie like me to figure out how to make 4G work on my new Thunderbolt. I could figure it out fine on my Sprint phone. Is there any person in authority who knows with certainty when the 4G access will presently work with the new Verizon Thunderbolt in Honolulu? Some say the modems work (…

You suck verizon & HTC

I hope everybody will read this and help towards stopping verizons corrupt practices, please post your horror stories and maybe verizon will attempt to satisfy its customers for once.…

I just got the thunderbolt and am trying to transfer photos from my old phone to it now. I have a SanDisk but don't know how to save them onto my thunderbolt?
new tbolt, all kinds of quirks
I had a MOTO Droid, first edition, for 14 months and made it work so I feel like I am pretty open minded. But this...this is strange. I loaded my couple of apps that I used on my Droid. No problems. But I wonder about email since that I what I use it for most. I turned my phone on this morning. No email notices. I got onto…
Day 11 of 14, New too Verizon and the new Thunderbolt, do we keep it or send it back?
I have had a number of surprises so far after coming to Verizon with the new Thunderbolt.. We ordered 2 bolts. The battery issue was disappointing, but a bigger battery will fix it, and/or a daily charge seems to take care of it. I live in the country on fridge of the city, my wife came from provider Sprint, and I came…
Thunderbolt 4G sim card
I recently saw the unboxing video of the thunderbolt on youtube. It states the Thunderbolt has a slot for a sim card for 4g lte network. Will Verizon ship the Sim card with the phone, will it be shipped at a later date, or do we have to purchase it seperately for 4G access? Anybody hear anything on this. Can't find info…
Are there 4g issues on the HTC Thunderbolt currently?
I understand that 4g is new and all but I recently bought the thunderbolt and now I have issues finding 4g just about every where and I was looking forward to the 4g experience. Is this happening to anyone else? If so when is the network going to be working again?
Any way to block text messages from another person?
I'm trying to figure out of we can block text messages from an individual on our HTC Thunderbolt. Thanks!
HTC Sync for Thunderbolt
I'm having a heck of a time trying to download the HTC Sync software for my new Thunderbolt. HTC's website has been overly "fluid" the last 2 days, with links changing/breaking. I found what I think was the latest version of the software and, attempted to download it 4 times - each time it took several hours and still…
Add City to HTC Weather
I noticed last night that my city of Hilliard, OH was now showing up in the HTC Weather App. However, my work city, Westerville, OH is not showing up, but in its place I see Columbus, OH which is the main city of which Westerville and Hilliard are suburbs. On my Droid both Hilliard and Westerville came up whenever I was in…
Unable to force 3G in spotty 4G areas.
Boy, had a terrible support dialog with Verizon. I am on the fringe of a 4G coverage area. Still, my Thunderbolt picks up 3 bars under 4g. Yet when I try to use the "internet", it hangs, then after 2 minutes the msg "Web page not available" appears. How do I solve it? Power off, then on. Then as it searches for a…
Data Issues
Got my TB HTC on Saturday and was aware of some data issues that day. As of today, Tuesday I am still having problems. As long as I am at home or at work where I have access to a Wifi, I get data fine. As soon as I leave home/work I get nothing. I have been researching different fixes from different forums, and none have…
HTC Thunderbolt Stopped Working
Last night the battery ran down to near empty after a day of normal use. I got the low battery notice around midnight last night and shutdown. I attached the wall charger to the phone and the little amber light indicated it was charging. I went to bed. This morning around 9:00 I retrieved my phone, and attempted to turn it…
How do I change old school dial on phone to a keyboard entry for ease of dialing contacts?
I hate using the dial pad on phone to find a contact. Because each number represents 3 letters the contact suggestions if offers are always way off. Also I hate searching for which number corresponds to which letter. Anyone know a way around this? I just want to hit the phone icon and start typing a contacts name?
Adding Music from PC to Thunderbolt (Help Please)
I tried the V cast and did the transfers but nothing transfers over am I doing something wrong?
Kick stand design flaw
Who is the Einstein that designed the kickstand for Thunderstorm? They designed the kickstand so the powe rport is on the bottom. Would it not make more sense to flip it the other way so you can power/charge the phone while watching TV/videos that suck battery life? HELLOOO
14 days to like it - not 30
One good thing about calling tech support - the tech offhandedly mentioned a 14 day trial period. Say what? When I got the Motorola Droid last year, it was 30 days. I guess they changed that at the beginning of the year. So I am letting you all know - it is NOT a 30 day trial period - it is two weeks!
Thunderbolt data service down
Spoke with tech support who confirmed that data service is down for some (but not all Thunderbolts). My wife's tbolt has been out since midnight. Rep stated no ETA, but there are issues network wide. Anyone else experiencing a problem with their tbolt? My droid incredible is working fine.
Thunderbolt Acting Weird
Ok I was trying to change my girlfriends ringtone and I saw that she was synced to two facebooks so I took out the HTC version of facebook then I exited to phone numbers to find that my girlfriends number is in my phone twice now 1 with a pic and 1 without a pic but the one without the pic has an unknown name but with my…

Very annoying becuase i paid through the teeth for this phone. If anyone could help me out that would be awesome.
Thunderbolt Suck and Verizon has cheated everybody regarding skype integration
For several months from CES to Verizon website they have been making noise about skype integration on thunderbolt. And when I bought it, till then there was nothing officially on their website or told by the Verizon reps that its been pulled out. I feel cheated and this is very unethical move from Verizon to mislead…
Spec Under Screen
I Purchased a Thunderbolt last night at about 7pm at the Cool Springs Verizon in Brentwood Tennessee. This afternoon (less than 24 hours later) I discovered a spec under the glass while preparing to put on a screen protector. I will start by saying this was a SMALL spec, about a pixel in size, and hard to see under the…
Text Messaging Issues
I just got my TB in the mail yesterday and have been enjoying it so far. However, I felt like I didn't have friends anymore b/c suddenly no one was responding to my texts. My cousin finally told me that she was receiving my texts, but they were coming from a weird number (too long to be a phone number) and she just assumed…
Thunderbolt changes location (Time zones on it's own
I have my Thunderbolt for about a week. Twice so for it has changed my current location, Time Zone, on it's own. It switches to Sacramento, Ca(Pacific) I live near New Orleans,LA (Central). I cannot force it to change back. It will stay this way for 8 to 12 hours at a time. It has happened both time at my home. VZW tech…
V Cast Pop-Up Window
Does anyone know how to disable that ANNOYING V Cast Media Manager webpage from opening up when connecting the Thunderbolt to a PC? Thanks, Dennis
Crapware
I am not interested in Blockbuster, Bitbop, Lets Golf 2, or Rockband. I will not be using those services and there is no reason to have them on the phone. Apparently Verizon has decided that I'm not allowed to delete applications that I will never use from my own phone. Why? Verizon, please fix this.
How do I get old contacts from RAZRV9 to the ThunderBolt
Receiving Pix/ Flix messages
I am a smart phone newbie, so I apologize if this has a simple solution. I am having trouble receiving pix and flix messages from people. I will get a notification text saying that I have to visit verizonwireless.com in order to view it. Why is the pic not going straight to my phone? My last phone was the Env Touch, and I…
