My wife and I both have Thunderbolts. I have not had this problem with mine so I am curious as to if anyone else has had a problem or if maybe she just has a bad tbolt. When she is on a call just out of nowhere the person on the other end can not hear her. This has happened when she has talked to multiple people and she has had good reception when it happens. This happened stock and on BAMF so I dont think it is a ROM problem. Anyone else having a similar thing happen, or do you think she has a bad tbolt?
I have not heard of this being a widespread issue, and I keep up with a lot of the Android forums. Sounds like a dud phone to me.
That's what I was thinking as well. Looks like its back to stock then Verizon for that bolt
I've had this problem from day 1. A bunch of different techs from VZW have looked into it and changed stuff on the backend and still no luck. :-(

davidbudd1, PLEASE let me/us know if swapping out the TB and/or the SIM fixed the issue for you! Here is a thread on Android Central that we've been trying to do some testing about this issue:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-thunderbolt/71734-can-you-hear-me-now.html
I'll keep you posted on what they tryband if it fixes it. I don't have a problem with this on mine, only my wife's phone. My buddy has a tbolt also and his doesn't have this problem. So to me it sounds like a bad phone.
Thank you SO much, I really appreciate it!

Hey man, any updates on this? I just went to VZW to get my phone swapped out and of course they said NO again because they couldn't reproduce the issue with 2 quick test calls.

Well I took her phone back to stock, and now she has been using since and it hasn't happened.again since. So I'm wondering if something didn't quite flash right.

I had that happen with mine the first time I tried to root it. ADB crashed on me in the middle of the process. I rebooted and started again and it appeared to finish, but I was experiencing that issue. I rolled everything back to stock and reran the root from scratch, I've had no problems since.
I have this problem as well. Althought it doesn't happpen often.

OK, I remember having an issue when I originally rooted also, so I used the shipped RUU to go back to out-of-the-box stock and then reran the root process, etc, and then restored my nandroid backup. I'll make some test calls this afternoon and then report back!
so if i download the the ruu it came with and flash it will it unroot an turn it back to stock?

As strange as it sounds, turn wi-fi off the next time you check. I've literally checked with wi-fi on and it said no updates and then set my date 24 hours ahead, turned wi-fi off and gotten an update available message. I read about this somewhere on here but can't remember where. I don't even know if it was on the Infuse forum. LOL.

I was helping a friend so I ultimate unbricked to stock, wiped all user data, rooted, checked for update had wireless on and froze the update. Somehow i canceled it. Tried it again and no go. It said I had to wait like 24 hrs. and 23 mins. or so.
I didn't check again for two days. I ultimate unbricked again to stock, wiped all user data. I did not root this time. No wireless and the update went right through. uckh1.
I didn't try the clock trick just waited. I have done it before with rooted but I need to sleep so I haven't done it yet. Maybe this will help someone.
Instead of changing the clock you can also go into manage applications and find device management and clear the data for it. And it should allow you to check again.

Yep cell connection only is the trick. I was in an office with full WiFi, but a poor cell connection (1-2 bars.. thanks ATT ). And the OTA kept freezing when downloading, so I would cancel, up the date and retry. Finally, without noticing, I had the WiFi off and the download would run, the halt for a few when my cell data connection dropped too low, the screen would refresh as my data gained a bar and the download would continue. Didn't take that long, I guess I just wasn't waiting long enough for the data to reconnect. It's weird, but it definitely will only download via cellular Data not WiFi.
I have a major issue, my softkeys randomly desided to stop working. No matter what I do or what rom I flash (im currently on stock) they will not work nor will they light up. Does anyone have any answers for this? Please help.

I don't know if this might help, but seeing has how you've not had much luck so far... besides you've probably already tried this... but hey.
I had a Motorola V9x and for no apparent reason, all the keys on it stopped working... except the power... anyway, I brought it up to a full charge than took the battery out for about 3 days.. when I replaced the battery, the phone worked again... still don't know what caused the problem. BTW, before that last 3day battery pull, I had tried for increasingly long intervals where the keys would show some signs of life.

I recently have this issue with the softkey as well.
just started to happen yesterday. It would randomly not work and I have to pull battery and it works again after that. Was on the SkyICS rom since Dec and no issues. Just recently popped up.
Bump, still haven't solved this, it drives me crazy
Hello. I recently purchased a SIII from eBay and got it activated today. The first time they booted it up at the Verizon store I noticed what I thought was an unlock icon towards the bottom of the screen (which I am no longer seeing).
Once the phone was activated it performed a system update to the latest OS release. Now that I have got the phone home it keeps randomly rebooting and then it will get stuck in a boot loop. I pull the battery, it will boot as normal, and then it will randomly reboot again. I have performed a factory reset/data wipe but that did not help.
I did search a bit on here but didn't see anything similar to what I'm experiencing. Any ideas on what my issue is? Thanks in advance for your help.

Sounds like the phone was rooted. If it had a custom rom and you took the ota verizon update, that could cause problems.

Well I spoke to soon. It just rebooted again. I'm starting to think that it must be hardware issue. I guess I should go back to the seller to see if they'll take the phone back..... :-/
I just loaded the latest OTA and it seemed to make the random reboots more frequent.
When you say "loaded" are you just flashing a stock ROM or did you Odin back to stock?

I did the ODIN back to stock (using the ROM that was in step #6 of the above link). After that booted the phone up and it indicated there was an OTA available. I downloaded that (about 30 Mb); performed the update; and then the phone seemed to start the random reboots more frequently.

I didn't mean that everybody has problems when I said a lot and maybe it isn't "a lot" but I have seen numerous people posting on here about there problems whether its random reboots or screen flashing/flickering or w/e it may be and not just here I know a few people with this phone (my wife, father, brother, mother in law, and myself.) And I have had 2 problems with this phone, random reboots and WiFi never wants to connect and my wife has the sim card issue, my dads phone has problems with screen and WiFi, idk what the deal is. That's 3 phones out of 5 that has problems and idk if the sim card issue even counts but still.
I'm not saying this is a bad phone or anything, other than these issues it has been a great phone the best phone I have ever owned.

Out shopping or I would give links. Sounds like a missing IMEI. Do a search but I am pretty sure reflashing might help. Which ROM are you on? Try flashing Scott's Unofficial CM10. If that doesn't work, you will probably have to go back to stock. Once you get it, do an EFS backup using Zenarcade's toolkit. Good luck and Merry Christmas.

So I am posting this for a coworker. A little background on me, I have been rooting and romming since my Droid X (what a pain that was) so I like to think that I am not too noobish and know what I am doing. I currently have a GS4 rooted and rommed running Hyperdrive and I love it, no issues at all.
A coworker came to me with a stock, bloated up GS3 and wanted me to unlock and root it. I took an afternoon and did it for him, installed TWRP and ran a backup of the stock, rooted rom and said have a field day looking into flashing roms and kernels and such. He started reading up on it and got around to flashing CarbonROM (used to run it on my Gnex, loved it). After a few hours, he texted me and said he was getting reboots. The first thing that came to mind was maybe he forgot to wipe everything or something, so I instructed him to factory reset a few times and make sure it gets wiped clean. He did and reflashed and still was getting them. He then tried LiquidSmooth. Same results...I then instructed him to try going back to a TW based rom and he tried out Hyperdrive. Still same results. I tried to do some searching and I am out of ideas. I saw that sometimes Nova launcher can throw fits which I did install on there for him, but the last few times he said he was not using it. We tried a few different kernels as well, still no luck. Should I try and get the phone back to a stock, unrooted state and retry? Or is it a defective device maybe? It WAS a refurb sent back from Verizon as he was having issues a few weeks back and they had to send a replacement. Should I unroot it and get it to stock and have him return it? Any help would be awesome.
I'd say use odin to flash stock and see if he has any more reboots. If he does its defective. Even now I think its defective.

My thoughts exactly. I think I am going to give that a try. Thanks. Any other ideas appreciated too.
What kernel is he running?
I find certain kernels don't work well with my phone and will cause random rebooting.
My advice is to flash a different kernel.

This is the coworker. I had originally used the stock kernel, then switched to Zeus. Both kernels had the same issues. Ended up unrooted it and finding a whole slew of problems with the stock phone. Brought it back to be replaced with a new device. No refurbs allowed.
Also, what version of carbon is he using? I flashed 1.8 and it did a lot of random rebooting. 1.7 is more stable.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
I was using 1.8. I think I had around other issues with Carbon beyond why issues my phone has in general. For example, as I am typing this, the screen is wigging out with random flashes like it's going to crash. Yay.
Tip for the future: beware of refurbs....
