Why I'm getting tired with Android!!!

[JessicaJAB]

I'm sure this had been addressed elsewhere, but would someone be willing to walk me thru this whole rooting process? I'm totally clueless when it comes to this stuff and seriously nervous about bricking my phone or something. Thankfully I don't have a TON of issues with my TB, but the battery life is killing me.

Thanks

If you don't want to root than you just have to wait for the update.

definitely have to agree its not androids fault, i dont every remember my d1 ever fcing and guess what it was stock android (for a week or two). but when it finally died i got a d2g as a warranty replacement and motoblur things fced all the time now im rooted and running cm7 and all of my problems have magically disappeared. so as i see it its the fault of the manufactures and there "custom" software that has caused most of the problems

The thunderbolt is a fraud! No netflix, no gingerbread in sight, battery sucks. It's a pretty fast phone though, i'll give that up. It's a new phone so why delay things like these to it. We have older phones out there running gingerbread and the newer TB is not. I know its HTC that needs to push it but why is Android like this?

I am running Gingerbread, sense 3.0, I have Netflix, and my Battery lasts all day. If you're not going to hack your Android and flash roms, then you're better off with an IPhone

Well said. Agree 100%

You should not have to root your phone to fix problems like these. However I did and I'll never look back. Thanks to Das Bamf, my Thunderbolt is what it should be

Pretty much this.

Lol what he said ^ your thread just got owned.

Gingercomb :: Liberty v9

Please don't do another post like this. It's antagonistic and not in the spirit of this forum.

And incredibly lame.

And for the millionth time...you should not have to jump through any of these hoops in order for a phone any phone to function properly or give you decent battery life

I wouldn't call it jumping through hoops...the rooting process is incredibly easy...running some cyanogenmod 7 on your tbolt will make you forget about fruity products altogether

Agreed. This is the fragmentation that Steve Jobs was predicting. I kinda wrote him off as a hater last year, but it looks like he was right. If this crap gets much worse, it cause seriously slow down the Android bandwagon.

Rooting and hacking is not a solution as most people arent cell phone enthusiasts and hobbyists. Like me, they dont want to do a bunch of geek stuff to get Skype and Netflix video working. They just want it to work.

Hate to say it, but Jobs is being proved right. Even Google has recognized this problem recently. Android is fragmenting. For example, I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab and couldnt run HBO Go on it because HBO Go doesnt run on Android 3.x.. If I had a Ipad running IOS, I wouldnt have had this problem.

No, but you would have an Apple Ipad and other issues.... if you think Apple products are perfect, then buy them. I will tell you the only thing perfect in Apple products is the control that Apple has over the buyer!

Its called Android ICS... its supposed to stop most of it.

And Jobs can't be right about anything. He's the guy that thinks Adobe Flash shouldn't be on phones.
Ill take him seriously once he gets a real browser on the iPhone.

And denial of a current weakness in Android is ludicrous. Instead of spending all the time hating on Apple, why not put some of that voice up the line to Android to bring consistency to the platform. Please knock off the immature attitude that Android owners are so much better than Apply buyers. That's incredibly annoying.
