General review, complaints, and info

[slinky]

I prefer the vibrate on the TB over the D1. With the D1 the whole phone shook when it vibrated, causing it to fall off whatever you put it on if there was a slight downward slope. It also made a lot more noise, the TB is perfect because when I have it on my desk at work only I can tell when it vibrates.

I agree with the vibrate when it is sitting on my desk. I'm on a client site today, and the vibrate is perfect. Its not too loud nor does it jump everywhere.

I guess what I am looking for are different settings for the vibrate. Lets say, a work setting and a going out setting.

I took out my TB this weekend and in a loud place with my phone in my pocket. I could barley feel anything if I did feel it vibrate.

Vibrating on a desk is not the primary purpose for phone vibrate. If you need to tell when the phone is ringing on your desk, you can see the display change. Additionally, I would not put my calls on vibrate during a meeting because (a) it's rude if you're trying not to be interrupted and, (b) if I needed a soft notification I could just as easily change the volume of the ringer to be very soft. The D1 was excellent for being notified when carrying the phone, especially in a busy, noisy city.

If it's any help, with GO SMS you can customize the vibration pattern. You can't make it more apparent, but you can have it vibrate longer and/or vibrate multiple times.

I have 2 updates available and have to admit as much as I like this phone I am holding out for the D3....I don't care about LTE as my 50mb down on WiFi is so much faster than any 4g out there.

Seriously, what ISP? Work has Fios = 21mbps down and up. At Home I have Roadrunner Turbo = 32mbps down and 2mbps up.

Comcast Cable offers 50Mbps download and 10Mbps upload for $99.99 per month.

I might be biased but Comcast is much faster in my area than LTE with a D2 modem (download only). 20-30 Mbps down. (We also don't have LTE...lol)

For me:

3G: around .5Mbps
4G LTE: around 12Mbps
WiFi (Verizon FiOs): around 21Mbps

I would never have doubted for a second that cable internet is faster then cellular.

After reading a different thread in here, I went to check offerings in my area. Charter Communications offers a 60Mbps down, 20Mbps service in my area for $100. :icon_eek:

I just tried this actually, and no you can't...unfortuately. I was going to switch over to LP Plus but I can't use the HTC widgets anymore, which I really like. So I'll go a little longer now with sense and switch when I get bored. I love everything about sense except I wish I could change the dock around at the bottom.

general 4G question

Apparently im in a "very good" 4G coverage area from what the verizon rep said, but im not getting any 4G connection. only 3G with 3-4 bars. im not missing any settings, location settings, the sim card not in properly, kind of things am i? it should just be that if im in a 4G area, my phone will "connect" to it?

 

[dhaymond]

Thanks. Disappointer, I too like a lot of the Widgets just not the dock or other little home settings.

If you started a thread and it was merged into this thread the reason is we do try to limit the amount of threads. If it's a general question will be merged in here because it's a general question thread.

I've noticed only at my office I'm having this issue due to reception. 4g keep dropping and reconnecting continuously causing massive battery draw.
