When I first purchased my HTC Thunderbolt, I was thrilled. It was my first smartphone and I loved it! The excitement of owning one wore off after a month or so, and that's when I started having tons of problems with my Thunderbolt. Fortunately, several months ago, an update was released and my issues were fixed. All was right in the world.
Until, that is, I updated my phone again on December 21, 2011. Several times now, my phone has decided that, after receiving a text message, it wants to turn itself off. The screen will just go black. Sometimes, it likes to reboot itself instead of just turning off. Also, when I receive messages, sometimes I will be typing at the bottom of the conversation and the screen jumps to show me the top of the conversation and I can no longer see what I am typing. Then, when I try to scroll back down to continue typing, it tries to get me to delete messages in the conversation and I have to touch the return key three or four times before it will go back to the conversation and let me finish my message.
Yesterday (Saturday, February 4), I went to a local Verizon store and they assessed my phone, told me the software was all up to date, and the only thing they could do was replace the phone. However, if this is a problem with the phone itself, what good is giving me a brand new Thunderbolt going to do? New device, same problems, right? Before going back to Verizon, I wanted to see if any other Thunderbolt users are experiencing the same problems.
