I just got my tbolt last night at beat buy, the rep said we have to check the cam because some phones needed a cam fix. We took a few pics, it worked great, i left n took a few more, no issues, then it just stopped working. I open up cam or recorder, it looks like its starting, then closes out. Anyone know the fix for this? Id take it back, but in the 13 hours since i got it, i drove 700 miles. Id like the cam to work while im in houston the next few days! Thanks in advance.

did you get this figured out?
between this issue and your problems with the market, I really think your best option is to hassle Verizon for a replacement, especially since your phone is so new.

I think its a firmware issue, it has npt done any ota's yet. Still runnin 2.11.605.0 on phone. I have bpth working now, connected to wifi at home, dl 1 app, then market works again. Cam was wierd, changed phone date to 8-1-2011, clear cam cache, reboot and cam works, then change date back. I think ill root it today b4 ota and get some new rom.

my 4G in downtown NYC is somewhat spotty, but it averages around 12 down, which is more than fine for me most of the time
when I was in Seattle over the summer speeds were nuuuuuuuuts - 45 on average, peaking at like 60 later in the evening
glad your problems are (mostly) sorted out!
Thanks dude! Those seattle speeds are insane!

I would really check for a firmware update thru the phone. There is no way thats a new Thunderbolt with that firmware on it (or its been laying around their store for a long time). Something doesn't sound right... I would exchange it or bring it to verizon and have them flash the newest update which is 2.11605.9.
The RUU is around, your could flash it your self..

Okay so i have been looking around and found that we do have a lot of questions around Wi-Fi tethering being an issue...
- APN change fails after an hour or two
- Aftermarket tethers installed. and run but do not seem to be found by other devices
- Wifirouter.apk push from 1.36 showed no change (Connected but no internet connection)
So, what else have people tried that has things working for them or not working that we can note as a fail...
So far i've tried Barnacle and Wifi Tether ( I had to download from the web since it will not show in the market). Both start fine and say they are sharing wifi but my pc on win 7 will not see them. I can try use either on the vibrant and both work fine, my pic finds them. Any other ideas... I still have 10 days to exchange this phone. I really do not want to go to the SGS2 but if there's no way to tether without paying xtra for something i already get... im afraid i will have no choice....

Well I don't have an issue and never did. It always worked fine for me. What happened to me is that after a few hours of standard internet usage it started directing me to the upsell page no matter how many times I changed the APN or rebooted the device. But... perhaps it's market specific. I called T-Mobile b/c they were still throttling me after my new billing cycle and I asked them about it and they said that pretty much everything is market specific. That might explain a lot actually. Like I was telling Alexis, in the market where she is located I would never get throttled despite the fact that T-Mobile sent me a message stating that I was. I would still have a ~4mb/s DL speed on my vibrant 3g device. But here in Detroit I get throttled down to 130kb/s. UGH!
Don't feel bad, Binary 130kb/s is my average. I live in a 2G area with a 4G area ten miles up the road.

130kb/s makes me feel terrible when I'm accustomed to averaging 15mb/s.
Throttling down that much should be violation of the Eighth Amendment.

Roughly. I didn't measure it at all but it was standard internet activity. Nothing more. No downloading or anything like that. They sent me a warning at first by pushing a notice to my phone after a few hours saying that I would need to add the service if I wanted to continue using it. The icon was a globe with a "w" on it.
About 5 or 6 hours later I was directed to the upsell page. Despite how many times I rebooted, disconnected, changed my apn, etc I would have be forced to the upsell page. As soon as I added the $15 service I had tethering again. Instantly.
Ok, that is what im trying to figure out... what you did differently. No one else has had that same issue yet that i have heard of.
I flashed 1.3 quicksense today, changed by apn... Went to tether... This time i was able to connect my laptop to my phone, but right off i got the redirect notice...
After talking with binary last night, we got to thinking maybe its kernel based... I am working with boarder on getting the kernel he is running... As its not stock... His APN change fixed his tether completely, maybe the redirect bs is kernel based...
Anyone have GPS totally die on this phone? This is not another "my GPS is slow" thread. It appears to be broken. GPS has been awesome throughout 8 months of a thousand flashes. Flashed MIUI a couple days ago and it was 5+ minutes to get a lock. Tried Pool Party, never got lock. Tried VGB, same. Flashed back to ED05 stock, Never got a lock after 30+ minutes sitting on my car dash. Put TSM back up, same. I have tried multiple kernals, tried GPS aids (for the first time ever). GPS is gone. I follow all directions for all ROMs and never have major problems. I'm stumped.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
I have tried the "secret menu" but it force closes when I enter the GPS config number. Could the hardware itself be fried?
Just out of curiosity, what gps aids have you tried? I just used "fasterfix" for the first time today and that drastically improved my lock time. Also GPS status and calibrate your compas may help. Just some suggestions... I hope either one helps!
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I have tried GPS status, even paid for a GPS Doctor repair app. None of them can do anything. Gps status had zero satellites after 2 hours in my car dock. I flashed back to ED05 and tried the Verizon "techs" at my local store. It's sad when I knew more about my phone than they did. In other words, zero help there. Was hoping to wait until spring, but it looks like a Nexus is in my future.
Did you try faster fix? Maybe it will help you get by for the next 6 days? With the way your talking though, it sounds like a hardware issue.

How is your data acting? Is it kinda flaky as well? Maybe you could try logging on vzw website and swapping esn numbers to refresh your data. After several flashes, sometimes I notice data/gps/anything network related will get flaky or slew down dramatically and an esn swap fixes me up. Hope you get back up.
~~~~There is no spoon~~~~
ESN swap, hadn't thought of that. I'll report back, thanks
ESN swap didn't work. Today I went back to eclair and ota'd back to ED05, still no go. It's dead Thanks for the idea though.
Update : GPS is back. Used the RFS formatting utility from the Heinz Dev section on rootz. Installed a froyo based rom, gps is back working.

A Guy over on the "other forum" is having major data dropping issues. I'm curious about the update and wondering why I haven't rec'd it. I'm totally stock. Went into about phone and system updates but it says I'm up to date. But I'm on .744?? Guess they're pushing them slowly as usual...

To get tethering to work with your RAZR. First download the wireless tethering app 3.1 beta 7. Install of course. Phone must be rooted. Also download rom
manager and open rom Manager and and go to. Fix permissions let that run. And the restart phone. Now tether your heart out.

Sound feedback of the multi touch keyboard is fine.
Anyone else having issue like this?
The physical key haptic feedback when I press anything is still there. So I assume it is the software issue only.

There have been a lot of 3G and 4G outages in the past several days. Make sure you're not a victim of that. There are DEFINITE issues this morning. I don't have the update installed, totally stock phone - and yesterday and today I have no 4G at work. I'm on a 4th floor by a window. I normally have a great 4G connection here.
Everyone Else: There's no trick you can do at this point to get the update. It's not released officially, it's only been sent out to a few beta testers. You are either going to get it by checking for the update, or not. Eventually they'll release it to everyone soon.
I'm in the same boat as mistawolfe, the update has made things much worse for me on the data side. On my way to work today, I had NO data for more than half the time, and only 3G the other half of the time. While at home, I have always had strong 4G and that has not changed after the update. But at work yesterday after I applied the update, it was the same thing, only 3G or NO data. Same today, more than half the time I have no data, and the other half only 3G. Going back and forth between no data and data is unacceptable. 3G/4G switching is fine, but this is horrible. 1/2 the time I can't even use the data. Terrible. I would not recommend this update.

Missed that, thanks. Talk about a strange coincidence, but at least it gives me hope (Although I'm still a bit weary as it started yesterday morning for me right after the update). Anyway, will hang tight and see if things get better. Hard to believe we are having another 4G/data outage again not even 2 weeks later! Big time growing pains for Verizon
I've been running deck's version for a couple months, keep updating, but GPS never works. And, yes I've tried the nand to sense and back.
Well, deck hasn't pushed an update on almost a week. No complaints, we all need down time. Not that he's actually taking down time, he could be pushing a huge update who knows.
Being a flashing addict, I decided to throw the official cyanogenmod version to get my flashing fix. I popped open GPS essentials, and bam fix in a few seconds. Not only that from inside my house, near a window it tracked 15 sats and locked 13.
Just thought I'd share, I know a lot of folks would love to have some GPS with their Jelly Bean.

Oddly..never once had any problems with GPS or locking. Always locks down to a foot or so on any ROM I have used so far, lucky I guess but haven't seen too many complaints of GPS related issues. This cell is like the OG EVO, every model is slightly different with results especially with OCing etc.. Glad it works for you!
My GPS has been working for months. But I did have to do the "flash to a Sense ROM" thing. Looking forward to the big update.
I'm surprised at the response. I've heard a lot of complaints about GPS with CM10. I have flashed every one of deck's updates as they came out from the IRC channel. I have even done full wipe multiple times, just to make sure it was clean. And never once have I had GPS work. Weird!
I guess each unit is different. Just odd that it instantly began working with the official nightly. It just seems too coincidental.
Did you get a good solid lock while on a sense ROM before going to recovery to flash AOSP. Works for me.

Thanks for sharing this info. I have the same issue when using navigation.
Is gps screwed in deck's roms? At least, up until recently? I'm on the 11/24 nightly.
Sent from my EVO
I haven't had a single issue but those who are need to either run GPS status to clear cache and download new agps data or flash sense and use ##gpsclrx# to clear cache and then open maps to get a lock and flash back to cmx. It's not ideal but it works
I can empathize with the thrill of having working GPS on an aosp rom.
Both on the OG Evo and this LTE it has been hit or miss for me.
I tended to shy away from aosp roms in the first place since CM7 and the endless bootloops some were having off of it on the OG.
When i would try one i liked and then the GPS and Nav wouldn't work, it would really be a drag. I would jump through all sorts of hoops to try to get it working but sometimes it would just not work for me.
Hey DW!
I did the get a "sense GPS lock, leave it locked, then go and flash cm10." That Scott mentions.
It worked fine. I've been using it all week with Google now and no issues.

If its been a few months then it sounds like you are on a old ROM. I'd try the newest one. Or go to recovery and try fixing permissions.

Thanks for the response, but that's lasted through a few versions of cm10, I think.
A few weeks ago, goomanager prompted for upgrade to cm10 and I did it. I still have the issue.
It seems like scout works a lot better, but gmaps navigation always "stops" when using it.
Not sure then I only clean flash and haven't had any problems.

I have had that work before too. I'd get a lock on a Sense rom, then use Titanium to back up my GPS Test app, flash over to the AOSP and restore it there and sometimes it would work.
Then I Nand it while it is working, flash another rom, decide to restore the 'working' gps nand, and it doesn't work again. I can't figure it out. :cyclops:
I recently started using my wifes old fascinate after I broke the screen on my Droid Razr. I had rooted it for her in the past and was running AOKP ICS. The phone was performing well but gps tracking seemed to be seriously lacking. So messing around with it I noticed it was running the ED05 radio. I figured i'd upate to EC09 and see if that would improve anything. I used to Odin to flash EC09 rebooted phone and I had nothing 0/0 fix/sats in GPS status. I toggled it on and off and tried resetting GPS data and let it sit for a long time and got no lock.
So I said what the heck I wanted to update to Jellybean so lets flash a new rom and see if the clean install helps. So I flashed hellybean from recovery and the rom runs great but still no GPS. So i'm thinking okay..weird...let's try another radio. Tried flashing EH03 and same issue. So figured i'd flash back to ED05 and hopefully that would do the trick. Well now I'm back on ED05 and the phones been sitting for 10 minutes running GPS status and still hasn't found a single sattelite.
Any ideas of something to try? I use GPS for tracking a lot and really want to get this thing working. I am out of ideas.
Maybe you should try the app GPS Test by Chartcross. Install it, go to settings, and hit Clear AGPS.

Thanks for the feedback. I eventually got it to work and felt like an idiot. The trick? Walk outside...
I did a full factory reset and reflashed hellybean tried some more radios and was about ready to throw the phone at the wall when I said what the heck lets just go outside and see what happens. Walk outside and was locked within 10 seconds.
For some reason the fascinate GPS will just not work sitting on my desk at work. My razr had no issues here so I guess that's why I was expecting it to at least find something. I guess this GPS receiver is just weak.
The wavelength GPS is on has the property of not being able to go through buildings. While this phone's GPS is pretty rotten in this case it's not really Samsung's fault.
