I just called Verizon and told them after updating I have been getting random reboots. The tech said its happening to certain phones and is sending a replacement, no questions asked. Im sure my phones not defective I agree with those that say its a radio issue. I even mentioned that to the tech and he said he doesn't think so. Kinda sucks I got to restore to stock, and reroot and what not. I'll be sure to let everyone know if the replacement has the same issues.
Update: Just so you know I've gotten two replacements, and it didn't help my situation. So no point in getting one unless you got a little cosmetic issue with your phone. Htc is working on a fix for these pesky reboots. It's in testing stages right now supposedly.

It may be a pain to return to stock & root the new phone, but at least verizon is swapping your phone for free. It wouldn't surprise me if they didn't try to blame it on the owner & charge for the exchange
Yeah the tech was real cool about it. Free overnight fed ex and everything.
Do you have to send your current phone back to them, then, or what?
Interesting that they're doing this. I thought this was happening on all TBs, not just individual ones. Maybe I should call. Anybody else had this experience with the techs? Or did ajd88 just happen to catch a tech that had already put in his 2 weeks notice and didn't care.
I called this morning. Having a new one next-day shipped to me. My phone has become unusable.
My phone has rebooted maybe 3 times total since I installed the leaked radio when it first was leaked, you guys think I should try and get a replacement just to be on the safe side?

While my phone isn't randonly rebooting it does loose 4G all the time, rarely goes into 3G and 1x seems to be the norm. I live in Chicago so I know it has a solid 4G signal. Wonder if it's worth the trouble of swapping out. But knowing my luck they will give me a refurbished phone...

in my experience, verizon has always been really good at replacing phones. I had a droid since launch day before upgrading to my TB, and it had been replaced 2 times.
The first time the camera stopped focusing, the second time it just stopped turning on.
I walked in to a VZW store on a Wednesday, and I had fedex at my door delivering new phone on thursday afternoon. badass!
You know he funny thigh here is. It probably is happening on all thunderbolts or some people just arent ppaying attention and not realizing that this is happening. It even happens on my wife's fascinate. So ineradicable of sending back my non defective phone that random rebooted once in a while for a "refurbished" phone. Ill keep my new out of box one. Not one someone else has allready had. Just because of a software issue.
Well it seems like I get the short end of the stick with VZW on a daily basis. I called and explained it all to the rep and explained how this is a known issue and that there are plently of reputable community sites (like XDA) confirming this and there is rarely a common thread between two devices. Apparently, the rep I spoke to, said that this isn't a known issue.
Got told to factory reset and if it comes down to an exchange, I'd be getting a "certified like-new device" a.k.a. crappy refurb. Again, IF it comes down to that. Awesome. Now they want me to wait it out and see if it keeps acting up. Fun.
I asked the tech if i was gonna get a refurb, he said no. He better not be lying.
Of course theres a gb leak right after, probably with a new radio that fixes it lol.

You'll most likely get a "Certified Like-New" It's a refurb. But, a refurb with a working power button is better than what I have now so I'm going to give this a go.

I just got the same response. Tech support said not a known issue. They want me to see if I can make it happen again. I guess random reboot isn't telling. I know they have to go through their troubleshooting process and I'm not upset about that, but i can see where this is going. I won't get another reboot today which will tell them I don't have a problem. Alright, I'm off the soapbox.

The guy i spoke to asked if I did a factory restore, I lied told him yes. So there was no troubleshooting. I told him its all over google, he put me on hold came back and said he looked on google and confirmed with me he sees that some people are having problems. After that he told me he was confident a new device would solve my problems and thats it. I guess i might have just got lucky.
It is possible that physical defects in the phones are contributing to the issue. Something like a bad run of filter components could cause the radio to operate ever so slightly out of spec, but still within QA tolerances. Then, if they then tweaked the radio parameters a bunch in the update, it could have pushed the performance requirements of the RF hardware closer to the device tolerances - suddenly revealing a whole bunch of bad components they did not see previously.
I got my new phone today and no reboots and my screen is a lot nicer and brighter. I'm happy

Can someone explain the nature of the reboots that they are experiencing? I had a reboot on Friday but it was much more then just a reboot, after the phone was finishing powering back up I had no ability to call out as if there was no service. I tried numerous battery pulls and even had Verizon do a reset on there end, nothing helped yet I was still able to receive and send data. Finally after about an hour my service was back. Then the same thing happened again yesterday, I went through the same processes with no success yet. I have tried all the different radio choices and nothing is working, does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!!!
Also I am rooted and using the stock rom
Couple different things I'd like to point out. Most vzw employees at the sales level will replace your phone if they actually see it reboot on its own. Some, though, chalk it up to being just a part of the device. I, myself, am a vzw employee and would most definitely exchange your device if its rebooting. However, rooting your phone voids the manufacturers warranty, so you better have insurance. Also, certified like news are not refurbished phones. They are phones that are brought back within the 14-day return policy because the customer either didn't like it or didn't understand how to use it. They're cleared out, tested, and repackaged as CLNRs. Certified pre-owned are, in fact, refurbished. Just thought I'd clear that up.

I am trying to connect my phone to the T-Mobile HSPA. A friend told me I need to find my MSL number (code for my EPSD?) I can't find any guides to accomplishing this with the MT4GS. And when I searched EPSD on XDA it came back with source code forums. So naturally I downloaded the source code anyways hahahaha... I'm download happy.... but anyways, I'm wanting to gain access to my Proxy Settings somehow. Am I on the right track? What do I do?
Seems like you need an unlock aka master subsity lock.

I started to realize this last night while I was searching. It kind of took me by surprise. That's ok though. I will be sure to add any information I learn and anything I discover that will be of use to US all. Thanks for your help Man!
So I used the link and everything worked perfectly. I unlocked my phone for any carrier. AS FAR as the proxy settings you mentioned. Those are the Wi-Fi Proxy Settings. I'm trying to find out how I access my actual phone. VIA the EPSD I believe. It requires an MMI code like ##3282# or one of that nature. I cannot find it though. Do you have any ideas?

I wrote down all the dial-in codes for the phone that I could get to work, but may not be all of them. Been a while since I looked into that.
When I get home in a few hours i'll look it up for ya, I don't have access to my notes until I hit my home pc. No promises that I have the one you're looking for, but maybe.

Cool beans Man! I appreciate it. I have been searching for hours trying to locate one and I've been tyring all kinds of others that I've come across. Nothing has worked so far... I know it's possible though BECAUSE I have seen some of the screen shots these guys have in their signatures. Some of these guys are downloading between 40 - 500 Mbps and their upload speeds are are ranging from 30 - 200 Mbps with 06 ms pings and sh**!!!! LIKE WOAH!!! I want this! hahaha Or at least I want to know how to gain access so that I can tweak mine and figure it out. You know? Thanks again...

If anyone else knows of any codes that work - mind posting them?
No problem. You may want to try and post in the unlocking forum.
As I said network and sofrware programming are two different ballparks. Both are a challenge though.

Sorry I didnt get back to you sooner. I had to take a break from this phone last night. I've taken in SOOOOOO much information in the last few days it's kind of overwhelming. THANK YOU for the codes. I will try that "testing menu" one out here in a moment. I will post anything I discover. It's "back to the grind" I guess lol.
Don't sweat it - sometimes the only way to push on is to walk away from it and give your brain some time to absorb it all.
I know i'm a workaholic and put in a lot of time between two jobs, and pleasing my lady is even more time away from development.
Don't ever feel like you're obligated to do anything, let that pressure wash away. This is something we do for fun, no sense getting stressed out about it. Feeling like you let people down because you actually slept or took a vacation or something isn't cool ... This is the hardest thing for me to come to terms with and so I'm sensitive to seeing it in others, whether they realize it's happening to them or not.
I've donated to devs and explicitly told them to take a night off and go get a dinner out or something - you get yourself all jammed up if you don't take a break once in a while. (Granted, they can do whatever they want with donations, but I can at least set the stage for some down time)
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with using these codes as a starting point, I'm positive there are others...just haven't had the time (and probably won't anytime soon) to sit down and figure them out.
As far as speed tests in sigs, I'm pretty positive they are home internet connections, not through the cell networks. Correct me if I'm wrong, and don't want to prevent you from exploring increasing network speeds (it's been done, though not to a ludacris extent - my up/down speeds over the cell network are faster then they were when I first got the phone)...but also want you to have a realistic goal to work towards.
Given some of the jargon you've used in this thread, you're on the right track for at least some of what you're doing to accomplish your goals - but I won't discount the thought that there's more then one way to do something and am very curious to see if you come up with another way or new approach at making it happen.
Take your time, experiment - as you've been - but above all, have fun!

Thank you for that heartfelt message. I mean that sincerely too. It's nice to know someone is "rooting" for me (pun intended hahaha). I used the testing menu code you sent me to solve HALF of my problem. Using that code I was able to change the Default DNS check to allow for the proxy settings to be set to 0. NOW I just need to find some way to access the phones factory settings for the mobile network. If I can do this I can change the ACTUAL Proxy Settings to 0.
My goal (and please correct me if I am wrong) is to be able to configure my phone to run off multiple networks simultaneously.
I'm thinking if I can set the phone's mobile network proxy to 0.0.0.0 it should designate NO DAFAULT IP Address right????? In doing so I should be able to confugure my phone to run from multiple networks right??? I need HELP!!!! LoL
Ciq well I honestly believe it.doesn't matter
Maybe battery is the only real saver
With or without ciq you still send texts through a system
You still have to pull data
You still went to CNN.com on.4g and they had to process that and send data and receive data back and forth
and carriers can see that whether or not ciq is there
And they say they cant see
I say BS
Comcast says the same thing
They look at the aggregate data
(mmmmmhmmm)
The only way
carriers.couldn't track you I.see is.Unless you're always wifi and texting through Skype..
But then your ISP can track you
But then your so paranoid you use free Wifi hotspots.to stay hidden
..then you probably shouldn't own a smart phone
I honestly believe its people being over paranoid
If you own a smart phone your being tracked with or without gps..
Position can be triangulated based
off of cell signal
I prevented ciq from actually starting on 2.3.6
So its there and not.. but to completely remove
It and still think you're not being tracked is crazy...
If you commit a crime and they want to know where you've been .. Im sure all they really have to do is ask google
Cyanogen or not
Just my thoughts

Please don't rationalize that putting a keylogger on my phone without my knowledge is somehow okay because they will find out whatever I do anyway.
Sure they can read your texts, or tell where you are, that's the nature of being connected. But being able to log everything thing that is done on my personal phone is not okay. It goes beyond just being connected to the network, it's shown that it continues to log when you aren't connected to anything. I also don't care what it's used for. It can be used to find the cure for cancer, it doesn't matter. If you're going to invade my privacy in such a way, at least tell me up front so I can tell you to shove it.
This is like saying you can put cameras in my house because I shouldn't be doing anything wrong in the first place and if I am I will get caught anyway. Or in the case of what CIQ is saying, we'll put a camera in your house and record it, but we won't watch it.
Love it I def agree .. I just know the recording and not.watching is getting worse.. And ciq proves it
I think they can get get all the info they need without CIQ so to me what's the point of adding it? I think (my thoughts) it is more for LTE tracking and usage being it is new for At&t. I'm not worried but the more data my phone uses at some point I think will result in adding "to" my usage rather than them "At&t" deducting from my used data. When or who deciphers what is mine and what is theirs each month?
Hey I need some advice I have a HTC One V CDMA 4.0.3 rooted none of the OTA patches through Cricket,
Last 2 months 3 or 4 times a week I dial someone's number from my phone book and it will ring like normal but all of a sudden I will start hearing a lady's voice she will say random stuff then she will pause and like usual I will ask who she is and why she is doing this to me she will start laughing and then state "I know you better than you know your self" she will then pause and wait then start talking about things that have gone on in my house that only me my wife and my children know about... I'm really upset and cricket isn't helping me and I am at the point where I am really concerned.
If anyone has any ideas please share I am at wits end and my computer is down so I can't access anything online except for on my phone.
Thanks

When did this start occuring? Was it after you downloaded a specific application? Have you ever left your phone unattended? Since you have a CDMA phone, it is extremely difficult to clone your phone compared to a GSM phone, since you do not have a SIM card in your device. If you can find the suspect app and remove it, it should take care of your problems, however, I would recommend getting a new device since it sounds like your device has already been compromised.
I would contact the authorities immediately. If you're in the US, it's probable the FBI will get involved as that would probably fall under the category of wiretapping, which holds serious federal penalties.
I've never left my phone unattended I always keep it with me even at night I'm disabled and have to be able to get to a phone at all times.
I agree I should get a new handset I was hoping to be able to ride this out until the end of the month.
I've tried contacting local authorities they didn't seem to understand or grasp the concept of what was going on.
As for the app idea I may get try that and see if it does it any more I do have a packet tracer app I might run it and see if it shows any weird activity from certain apps.
If worse comes to worse I'll contact a friend of mine who I went to school with he is a fbi agent and see what he says... I'm a old school hacker of sorts if I had stable wifi and a working pc and could VPN through my pc and run a sniffer the whole time I am sure I would be able to figure this out in a snap.
Thanks for the replies.

So I am running a HTC phone and have made some mistakes. I have been trying to change my NAT type on x bone in order to play Rainbow six online with open NAT.
I tried tether to laptop then to box using a cross over cable and forwarding ports over Internet connection sharing. I also tried installing multiple port forwarder applications onto my phone and tethering directly to the XB. One app was meant for a rooted phone (port forward ultimate), which mine isn't and it would let me stop the process before uninstalling.
Unfortunately for me it didn't work and now the tethering speed is INSANELY slow. It tells me there is an MTU error (1340) and the games which used to work fine are now completely unplayable. I wish I had never done all of it just to play one game as the others worked fine.
I am really upset, because the bit of internet I get to play video game is barely keeping my alive at the moment and now its gone.
If you have any advice you would be helping a very ill man get a little bit of joy.
Thanks
Does anyone know anywhere in the UK where I can speak to a professional about my issue. I never get responses on this forum. Any other forums where professionals dwell and give advice/help?
Nobody has the knowledge to help at all?
Can't bring myself to believe that no one has any knowledge of what to do in this situation.
I will pay for someone to help me if that's what it takes to get someone to respond here.
So...If your Phone isn't rooted, you can try (if you have one) to recover all the information. If the Phone has a Guarantee, go to the shop where you buyed it. Since it isn't rooted the Guarantee is still on it. If all of that isn't an Option, the easiest way is to root the Phone (totally worth it anyway) and try an equal App. Not the same just onenwith the same function. Write back if none of these helps, and give some more Information about your mobile (S/N number Android Version...)

Its nothing to do with being rooted or not, my ISP is throttling my tethering somehow and I don't know how or why they are doing it. It worked fine for months, but I tried opening my NAT. It think they are doing something with my IP, subnet mask or MTU, but I don't know how to get around it. Other than rooting and applying tether dun 0, which I would prefer not to do, I am at a loss
Correction, I do know why they are doing it, it's because I tried opening my NAT, which is not allowed. The latency in games has quadrupled. 4g was perfect before, now its barely playable. I want to know why this is happening. Can mobile providers throttle tethering? It still works just very badly.
So, you live in the UK. So you think it's a problem with the provider. Wich provider is it?
It's either my mobile provider or the only other thing I can think of is that I dropped my phone a few weeks back.
Could dropping your phone cause the wifihotspot to work incorrectly? Surely if it was broken it would just work or not work.
I get very decent speeds on my phone but when so tether my speeds are awful, which never used to happen.
I am trying to rule out various possiblities and although I am alright at tech, I don't know much about mobiles and though there were a few knowledgeable people on this forum.

I am going to see a professional. I didn't realise it was all amateurs here, my mistake.
