3 Apps Every HTC Thunderbolt Owner Must HaveThe HTC Thunderbolt 4G is no doubt one of the best smartphone option on Verizon alongside the Verizon iPhone 4. However despite receiving an update just yesterday, the shortcoming of Verizon's first 4G LTE handsets still remain unfixed. To overcome some of them, we recommend 3 apps that every HTC Thunderbolt 4G user should download.
Juice Defender
With the somewhat dismal battery life the HTC Thunderbolt 4G showcases (even after the recent OTA update), the Juice Defender app is a good addition to the arsenal. With their clever management system, you will be able to squeeze every drop of juice (electricity) out of your Thunderbolt 4G before running to the charger.
LTE On/Off
Another clever app that makes the process of turning the 4G LTE connectivity on and off your HTC Thunderbolt. Because the manner by which Verizon and HTC have allowed you to toggle this (requires keying in commands via the dialer), an app that behaves like a switch is essential. This is especially important if you are in an area with poor 4G coverage and find your handset continuously cycling between 4G and 3G, making the hand-off quite annoying.
WidgetLocker
While we love the design of the HTC Thunderbolt, its power button is practically flush with the phone, making it cumbersome finding the button, especially at night, a hassle to say the least. That's where the WidgetLOcker app comes in as it lets you turn on your screen with a press of your volume buttons.
