Are the Battery issues really that bad on the TBolt?

 

[CyberPitz]

I've not heard anything...

Link to where you saw it? Sounds like a bunch of rumormill talk here.

 

[rcpratt]

Stupidest thing I've ever heard.

 

[CyberPitz]

"Hey, we'll spend a shit ton of money developing and advertising the first LTE phone, just to discontinue it because we never tested the battery!"

/waits for this thread to divulge into a "Shitty battery life" thread now

 

[mdeblaz]

this will never happen. Verizon will jump through hoops to keep this phone on the market for as long as they can

 

[Skeletronix]

The TB is selling extremely well and the battery "issue" is no more an issue than the battery life on any HTC device or smartphone for that matter. The complaints read on this and other forums are just a small percentage of users. The majority are satisfied and have no need to come to the forums to reiterate their satisfaction. Please post a link to said article.

 

[Romikemi]

In before the lock. lolling spastically at the claim without links.

 

[kjjb0204]

No way. It would have to be as big as a failure as the Microsoft Kin piece of junk to get pulled this quickly after launch.

 

[ska.t73]

This is totally baseless and makes no sense to boot. Do you really think VZW is going to pull this phone? They never pulled the BB Storm and that phone actually had issues, the TB is fine there are no major issue with the handset. There are a few lemons that got through on the first batch, however that happens with every handset at launch.

The BB Storm is one of the most nortoriously bad devices in recent memory, and VZW was still selling them. Even after it was proven to be the device and not just a few bad apples.

I don't see why this would even be posted here without a link to back it up.

 

[fuzio1963]

HTC worried that the ThunderBolt may soon be discontinued by VZW for Battery life issues & No New LTE devices until tiered data? Read this online this morning? Any truth to these two statements?

YOU - NOT funny! Link?

Please don't feed the trolls.

Read this online this morning? Any truth to these two statements?

you believe everything you read online huh?...
Hi, I'm an alien from the future, and if you dont mail me your phone the earth is going to explode!
kthanxbi

in all seriousness though, do yourself a favor, in the future if you plan to create a thread with a bold statement like that, please also provide a link to where you got that kind of information from.

 

[redraider1]

I wouldnt post anything if you have no link or support to back it. People are so gullible these days. smh

 

[nateap87]

in all honesty, op's claim would make our phones that much more valuable

 

[drewcam888]

LOL what a statement

 

[Frisco]

Thunderbolt siren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia !!!

 

[digdug1]

Granted I'm in a 3g only area but my thunderbolts battery life is exactly the same as my Droid one.

 

[Frisco]

Read this online...

A link to what you read would be interesting for Thunderbolt users here.

 

[sean76]

no way...phone is selling very well! And an update is in the works, so I hear! Update will focus on battery consumption, and then after that we should be looking at GingerBread comin down the pipes.

 

[Bomfy]

I doubt this highly. I was just at my local Best Buy, looking for cheapie screen protectors for my soon to arrive replacement TB and there was a heck of a line at the cell phone desk.

I figured since I heard the word Thunderbolt about 20 is 3 minutes it's probably doing well. Also they had no protectors and only the icky silicone cases. If that's a sign then it's doing well.

 

[HTCThunderbolt]

Hahaha op thats funny. Why would they do this when this is the first VZW phone released in months. (not including fruit phones

 

[Joewoowoo]

And still have 25% left. brighteness on auto, gps on . was on 4g today for about 1/2 the day. been on the web , been texting my peeps been playing angry birds and used Tikl some. So I ask hte question , what battery issues ?

 

[CyberPitz]

With 3G, I was able to go 36 hours with 6 hours up time. Just WIFI on with 30% brightness. Still have 40% left. I was confused.

 

[LoyalServant]

There are some that are expecting Droid X type battery life.
I have not seen that yet from this device but going 20-24 hours is not unusual with it.

It works for me.

 

[sean76]

Lol..I just don't see it.
