My friend is about to be on his third one.
First one had the force close problem where everything would FC. Doesnt matter if you wipe it, factory reset it, new ROM, stock ODIN, it would keep happening.
Second one had a broken mic. Voice to other people were completely muffled.
Third one is coming Friday. Verizon refuses to send him a different phone.
Ive been on the same charge since purchased. No problems at all.

I have had this phone since it came out and I love it, I have had no issues at all. Every phone comes out has some bad apples (pun intended). but this phone is a great phone in my opinion. I hope the third one will change your opinion on the phone cause it has treated me well. As a final note I have used odin and cwm and all kinds of different roms, kernels, updates, themes, and everything with no problems
Every problem I have had with this phone has been fixed by software updates except for the weak signal reception, but i guess that is what you get when you buy Samsung.

I've enjoyed the phone except for one problem. I'm calling Verizon tonight to maybe get a replacement. On more then half of long phone calls that are over ten minutes, the phone makes a clicking noise and then the other person can't here me anymore. Happens daily.
I'm considering burning my upgrade for the Nexus. If only the One X was coming to Verizon, or anything quad core for that matter.

Your friend is one of the unlucky one, he probably received replacement phones returned from members of XDA!)
I don't understand why Verizon refused to replace his phone? If they can't fix the problem, they obligated to replace the device if you're on Verizon contract. I never heard of Verizon ever refused to hand out replace if they failed to fix the problem??

I'm on my third Charge. My first one died within a week before I'd even rooted it. The EE4 OTA failed and bricked the CDMA modem in the process. The second one had an odd USB port failure that caused it to randomly go in and out of desk dock mode

I think the key statement of the Op is "different phone". I too am on the 4th CLN charge for the clicking and popping on calls lasting more than 10 minutes. The irony is my current phone was perfect until the FP1 update, then the clicks started happening again. I tried to get verizon to send me a different device but was told the manufacturer has only approved them to send CLN phones out. When I asked what verizon's policy was, all I got was silence. Apparently they don't care that I spend $2200 per year for a family plan that a $200 phone can ruin. They aren't making money on handsets, it's all in the service.
End rant.

Mine works great, I've only had it for about two months. I got it used off of craigslist, I've always wanted this phone ever since it came out but I was stuck with the HTC incredible.

Love my charge
I've had two charges, both refurbs since they offered it to me after dealing with a lot of annoying problems with my fascinate. The first one was great, had a bit of a static issue on phone calls but easily dealable, but my usb controller crapped out after about three months so I could no longer flash anything through odin (which is simply unacceptable to me). VZ sent me a replacement and after customizing it and getting the latest software I have not had a single problem since, no static issues on calls, and ridiculously good reception even in my bunker of a house. Hands down my favorite phone I've ever owned.
Static, static, and more static. Even with the last update. I can deal with it, because it's my work phone, and almost always use bluetooth.
When I talk on the phone with my gf (the only time I talk with anybody for more than 5 minutes), she says she hears the clicking and then I disappear. I can hear her, but she can't hear me. It's been happening as long as I can remember, so I went back to stock and took all the updates. Not rooted at the moment, and if the call problem happens one more time I'm buying the Nexus.
As long as you have the warranty on your phone you can get as many refurbs as you like. Or you can request for a new phone from Verizon if your tired of having problems out of your phone. I started with a Driod 2. From there: Droid X, iPhone 4 ( black 8gb), Droid X2, LG Revolution, Droid Bionic, Droid Charge, Samsung Stratosphere, then funny enough back to the Droid Charge. This is all the phones they have sent me during my two year contract which ends this September. So this comes to show that if you have an issue with your phone verizon as all about customer satisfaction. So if your unhappy with your phone just complain. They will set things straight. And in case anybody is wondering I just like to play and mod different phones. Was really regretting getting rid of the iPhone 4 but Tweaked v2.0 rom by dwitherell has really made me happy to be a Charge owner. The rom is super stable and super quick. No lockups or lag. And the theme is just beautiful.
---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------
InfinityROM by imnuts is another rom that will make your Phone run better (if you can handle all the hotboots). If only dwitherell could add the TouchWiz 4 launcher from Infinity to Tweaked v2.0 I'd be in heaven!

I upgraded using the LG tool and everything went fine. Setup the ROM from scratch and all was well but then I kept having these issues so I shelved the G2X and went back to Sensation UNTIL T-mobile released what I thought would be a newer official build.
The fact that they are putting out V21E as the official GB build is downright sad and pathetic. After many months of promising an update they can't even get a release out there that's not busted. I know it is possible but it seems only HTC and perhaps Samsung know how to write software...my old Droid Incredible, friends Evo 4G and now Sensation are rock solid and everything just works. Samsung Nexus S and Galaxy variants also just mainly work.
I had these issues for the 24 hours I used the G2X with V21E - I got fed up and stopped using it but I'm sure there are others.
- Several times phone rang/vibrated due to incoming call so I answered the call which worked BUT the phone kept vibrating like it was still ringing even while I'm talking to the other person. Only solution is to hang up call and call back. Doesn't happen every time but happened quite often.
- Bluetooth is buggy as hell. Sometimes a device that's paired won't connect unless I powercycle the BT on the phone.
-- I was listening to music once with A2DP headset and a call came in. I answered the call and everything was great. I hung up the call and now no BT audio would come through the headset or even the phone speaker no matter what I did. Turn off BT/turn on, etc. Only solution was to powercycle
--Later on was using the phone, connected my paired A2DP headset to the G2X and almost instantly the phone screen turned off and it locked up. Had to pull the battery
- Weird issue with apps like (edit: Google's podcast app not HTC) Listen. Will play for a while and then all of a sudden stop playing and nothing I can do will get it to play again unless I uninstall/reinstall the app. Never happened on Froyo or CM7.
- Gets very warm - battery app showed the temp being well over 35 degrees celcius most times I looked and I wasn't even using the phone much.
- Was using the Google reader to read articles and all of a sudden the phone started slowing down and then it just froze with the screen on. Nothing I did would get a response from it. Power + vol up didn't work. had to pull the battery.
I mean this is freaking ridiculous. I have the Sensation setup with the exact same apps, launcher, settings, everything and I have ZERO issues. This is simply crappy software and LG should be ashamed.
FWIW, CM7 latest nightlies I never had ANY of these problems but A2DP doesn't work on CM7 so can't use it daily. Once A2DP starts working on CM7 I might give it another shot.
I'm definitely done with LG for a while.

Weird, I had reboots and SOD problems in Froyo but otherwise I had NO other issues in Froyo - when the phone wasn't rebooting or turned off it worked perfectly. This GB build has way more problems for me than Froyo.
Solid here..... Not a bad update imo
Same here I haven't experienced any of these problems, not even in Frito either. The update overall has done it all for me. I would try reinstalling the update again if I were you

I did, note how I said I set it up from scratch. There is BOUND to be issues with this because the kernel is the same as froyo - many of the problems were caused by the kernel and since that hasn't changed, how would the issues be fixed? CM7 might fix issues because it's a different kernel.
My phone is now freezing up!!! WTH! Three times since the update in less than 12 hours. I wanted to call Tmobile customer service to cancel my Value Plan i switched to a day earlier but couldn't. I had to remove the battery and reset the phone before making my call.
I told them I didn't want to spend $200 for the migration fee and then be stuck in a new 2 year contract with this G2X phone and pay a $200 if I leave that Value Plan contract or spend full price on a phone to replace this junk. I went back to my 1500 mins, unlim text, 5 gb data for $79.99 plus %15 discount on that. The person I spoke with was surprised this new update was having issues. She knew this phone had bugs because her friend had this phone. She also knew they took it off their website and just brought it back with Gingerbread.
She said she will make a note in my account to give me a full upgrade credit because I am on my second phone and I told her that I was going to leave to Sprint! Hopefully my phone wont cause me to smash it before the Samsung Hercules comes out on Sept 26.

I can't help to think that theres some app people are installing that's causing some of these issues. My phone has been perfect in operation, but froyo was great too.
People need to understand that the tegra 2 has some compatibility issues as well with some apps.
Uninstall everything 3rd party, use the phone for a day and see what probs you have.

No problems so far. I love GB. My bluetooth now syncs with my radio which it wasn't doing with Froyo.
i've had none of these issues. i have had issues like this in the past with a bad flash.
Well I'm getting a replacement G2X that either will come with the update (doubt it) or I'll use OTA to get the update so if after that it doesn't work. I give up.

OK.
I hope you have better luck with your new phone. The Sensation is a piece of garbage according to many. It is all up to luck apparently. It is weird how some have no issues and some have continual issues.
I'm starting to think I have bad hardware too, I'm having more problems with GB than I did with Froyo!
What did you tell them to get a warranty exchange? I was thinking of calling and just overwhelming them with info.
Just worried the replacement device could be worse!
I can't adjust the damn touch key brightness. It is making me crazy. Also the screen is not as responsive as it was with Froyo.
and of course the battery still sucks, but apparently android is a flawed system that just sucks battery for no reason at all. I hope the google/android folks get their stuff together one of these days. I really miss my HD2 battery life. You would think a bigger battery and newer operating system would be more efficient, but crappy battery life seems to be the norm. The tmobile guber that sold me my phones assured me I would get the same life out of the battery, but he was very wrong.

They make you go through troubleshooting so I just answered their questions and she said, fine we'll send you a replacement. Just tell them you have a G2X that has been rebooting/turning off and that even after the update it still happens. That's what I did.

Nope you're not the only one. My G2x today decided for the first time to freeze while I was using it. Plus with this update I get less signal than I had before.
This phone and how tmobile handled it in my situation left a foul taste in my mouth forcing me to switch to Sprint and the HTC EVO 4G. So far its been a happy switch, my phone hasn't locked up, no reboots, doesn't overheat and battery lasted me about 30 hours with moderate use (web browsing for about 30mins, 1hr phone call, and about 2hrs overall on xda) also had WiFi on plus Bluetooth.
Sadly I lost 4G data since Sprint doesn't have any 4G towers in my area yet. But @ $110 a month for unlimited everything and no data throttling it was a good move, plus nice to have signal while at home. WiFi calling worked whenever it felt like so it was no more reliable than plain cell service.

ok so i was running EP1f and had no major complaints (buttons didnt back light) so when i EP1W came out i ended up running it and absolutely loved it! everything worked and i actually liked my phone with the exception of loosing the stock basic android keyboard that was in EP1F (not the samsung added crap or the one in the market) but after about 2-3 weeks on EP1W i started having huge overheating issues and then i couldn't connect to any data (LTE, CDMA,WIFI) and then guess what!?! my phone decided that it wouldn't recognize the sim card so i truck down to verizon and get a new sim and no sooner than i walk out of the store does my phone decide that that sim isnt good enough either! so i get another new sim card and head home reflash back to stock 2.2 and still no data ability and the sim card malfunctions... verizon was clueless and refereed me to samsung who promptly wanted the phone back!

I'd stay away from verizon too and go thru the manufacturer. Verizon does in house "refurbishing" sometimes. Someone gets their phone replaced>defective phone goes back to warehouse>warehouse does in house testing - doesn't find an issue, though truly defective>warehouse deems defective device "no trouble found">defective device goes back into stock and eventually out to another consumer as a replacement>consumer has issue with that device. And this cycle can repeat countless times.

Now with Samsung is it like VZW where they send out a replacement first and then I return the defective one? And you think they would send a new one instead of a owned one?. I swear we need a Carfax of sorts for these phones lol.

I too am having reboot issues with my Thunderbolt. Along with the loose USB port, I might just have to get a replacement. Did you take it into a store to have them look at it or did they troubleshoot it over the phone?
Just call no one in the store knows their @$$ from a hole in the ground. If you've had multiple problems and are done with the phone ask to speak to a escalation Rep. If not just tell them make sure you're on the latest update before talking to them or they'll tell you that fixes it. Also they might try a hard or soft reset if you've tried that let them know. This was my fifth bolt so they didn't even ask just offered the bionic, charge, some LG phone, and the rezound so I took the obvious choice.

Just got off the phone with Verizon; they're sending me a Rezound as a replacement as well.

I am also wondering this. I have had the T-Bolt since last may and have dealt with the rebooting and text problems because I didn't want to go through the process of calling and getting a replacement.

I will post again if I do try it.
No I tried on my third and fourth and they said no so its for people whohavehad multiple complaints from my experience but it wouldn't hurt to try I guess. It also has to do with who you get when you call. From my calls be nice to them if you get upset or angry they don't want to help you out.

What hardware version do you have? If you remove the battery there is the white sticker with all the numbers on it. There is also a set of numbers that tells which hardware version it is. its usually a set of two numbers separated by a period (.) ex. 11.04 or 11.11 or 12.01, you get the point.
I read a post about hardware versions 11.05 and below having this issue. I've had 3 DCs, (11.04, 11.05, and 11.11) and my current one, the 11.11, has no issues whatsoever. No dropped signal, no cracking/popping/static, no issues that require me to cycle airplane mode on/off, etc. So let's hear it.

I did the same thing. They sent me a nexus as well, but i have signal and connectivity issues with it. Sitting in one spot, it will go from 4 with 4G to 0 bars with an X. Where with my DC, i kept 4 bars and 4G in that same spot. I have both, a DC and a GN. It seems like the connectivity issues with the GN is a big/common problem unless you get the 1% that isn't defective. I've never had as issue with signal/connectivity with any of my DCs, just the static/popping, with the exception of my current DC.

I have a DC that is 11.05. I don't get the squeal, but I do get the static and popping. Do they replace it right at the verizon store, or do they send out the replacement?
I have one that's 11.05. I didn't notice the squeal pre-FP1 because I use mainly bluetooth for calls. Since loading FP1 (and Eclipse 2.0), I've noted the wonderful squealing noises in calls, including once or twice through bluetooth, though that seems exceedingly rare.
Just got off the phone with Verizon... my galaxy nexus is now in the mail... I talked to a representative for about 2 minutes and he diagnosed the problem as a speaker issue...? Lol. I'm thinking his quick response may have to do with the 4 other LTE devices on my account... and the 280 dollar bill I pay every month!!! Lol... man o man... this was my very first smartphone and I do love it but, I'm not gonna lie, its not that hard to part ways with it for a nexus... by the way, my hardware version for the charge is 11.05

I emailed support earlier after posting in this thread (and realizing I'd started having the issue on bluetooth as well as handset/speakerphone). I'm hoping for the same result. It's been a great phone for me, without a doubt, but if I can get away from the squeal and get a Nexus at the same time, I'll jump on it in a heartbeat.
I have version 11.04 and I have NEVER had any cracking, popping, or hissing. My charge only drops data when it's obviously in a low signal environment, and has been much improved since the introduced GB.

I lost my popping and cracking somewhere along the lines. Do they make you do anything with your old phones? Like returning them? Because I wonder if you would want to go back to stock before hand. I thought rooting voided the warranties.

It does you have to go back to stock before you return the phone to Verizon

Mine is 11.04
I have had occasional, very loud squealing during phone calls, both before and after the FP1 update.
My DC is now rooted, running stock FP1. Should I unroot before I call Verizon?

I'd have the "back to stock " Odin file ready before you call. If you get lucky and have your new phone ordered , it would probably only take a few minutes to get to stock. But yea, unroot after it is confirmed lol

I am on 11.05 with no screeching /squealing issues.
Sent from my handheld computer using electromagnetic radiation.
I have 11.05 and I get popping and screeching when I receive calls. Every call I receive about 30-40 seconds into the conversation then it occurs about every 20-30 seconds after the initial one. It has been getting worse the past few months. Needless to say I am very unhappy.
My CLNR is version 11.04. We will see if there's a problem with this one.
I got 11.12 been having data drops like a mug the past 2 weeks, times where 4g just wont connect and 3g will drop and never return. Tried flashing different modems and roms but still no luck. Waiting to hear back from my service ticket.
Oh, the good news just keeps coming. Now none of my three computers will recognize my phone to Odin back to stock. They'll recognize the new phone just fine, though.
[edit: Well, SamsungPST's port scanning saved me. For some reason, regardless of what drivers I installed, my computers wouldn't recognize that a device was even being plugged in. Once I loaded up SamsungPST and hit "Read General Information", it started searching the USB ports. When it hit the one my phone was in, the computer started installing drivers. After that, Odin connected fine. Strange.]
I’ve had my One S for 4 weeks now and every week brings a different problem plus it would appear to be worse since the 4.0.4 update.
1. Intermittent microphone problems.
2. Intermittent reboots with error reports.
3. Mobile data dropping out or won’t switch off or back on.
4. Complete loss of network signal after long period of shut down.
5. Aeroplane mode locked the phone completely requiring a reboot.
Don’ know whether to send back to the store who might not find anything wrong because most of the problems are intermittent, or contact HTC ???
Wish I had stuck with my One V!!!!
I don't have those issues, of course on viper's rom.
Can you tell us you serial nr. Of your phone?

You shouldn't type your whole Serial No. on the internet, that's not good. You can just type the first 4 characters.
@Delta, have you received my PM by any chance?

Have already done 2 factory resets since updating to 4.0.4 last week!!
If I were you, I'd send it to the carrier/HTC and ask for a replacement.

I have the loss of signal issue, mostly indoors. Never had that issue with my other phones. It is worrying me cause I just purchased this phone on a new contract and only have about 5 more days to decide if i want to keep them or not? With this issue and seeing all the terrible issues in the custom ROM's I am afraid I will hate this phone compared to my GNex. I understand Jellybean has not been officially released yet so there will be issues but is there any ICS ROM's that run without issues? My past experience with less popular phones is we can never get a truly great daily driver. Any reassurance will be greatly appreciated!

Response from HTC UK.
"For further testing, we would ask you to reset the phone without the SIM card in the phone(Hard resetting the phone will delete all data on the phone memory). Once the phone has completed the reset, test the phone with no Gmail or 3rd party applications on the phone. This will then confirm whether it is the phone or 3rd party software.
I am confident that this will resolve your query, in the unlikely event that this does not please call or instant chat to one of our Technical Support Agents who will be waiting to guide you through step by step. Our Contact Details can be found at www.htc.com/uk/contact"
no Gmail!!! I thought this was stock???

It is stock, some of these "agents" know less than a squirrel would, on their own software especially!

I'm having signal issues as well.
I got this phone last Thursday as a replacement to my Galaxy S2.
So far i'm getting less reception in my house than my S2 had.
Also, when I'm at work, it goes from Full 4G service, to NO bars, and then to 2G, and back to Full 4g. WTF?

Exactly the issue I am having on my new one s. Only have a few days to decide whether I want to keep it or not. It's not looking like a keeper! Never had the complete signal drops showing an X before. Texts keep getting denied til the service comes back.

I hear ya.
It's a shame because I REALLY like this phone. Feels great in the hand, build quality is fantastic, and overall it's super smooth and fast.
I hate to give it up, but I can't have signal issues like this at home. Even the wifi calling has had a couple issues so far.
I need my phone to work, plain and simple.
Thinking I might go with the Galaxy S3. Probably the only phone that will make me not miss this one so much.

I'm quite sure if you went with the Galaxy Nexus you wouldn't miss this phone either.
I suppose you have fought with your service provider just like I am right? HTC is telling me to try a different back cover and/or do a factory reset. they claim they are not hearing any issues like this with this phone. I kind of figured I would have issues because Cincinnati Bell does not get the best phones, I had major issues with their XT720. I should have known better. This is why I just bought the GNex from Google, I was gonna avoid signing a new contract then CBW offered me such a great deal on 5 new phones if I resigned so i went with it.
I just tested calls with my galaxy nexus and the HTC one S by calling each other and I got to say call quality with the HTC is much better. Louder and more clear. But I am running a sound volume tweak for my Gnex and it doesn't prove to be louder with in call volume. I will have to get rid of that tweak and see the difference

Problem is that I don't want to spend the money on the Nexus. I got the One S as a warranty replacement, so I'm not spending any money. I'd have to shell out cash to get the Nexus.

Well if it is a new warranty replacement it comes with a new 12month warranty, sell the one S to earn the money for the GNex. I have both and personally I like the GNex better. So many ROM's and kernels to choose from and none of the issues with the Gnex that i see here with the One S. Besides, by the time the One S get's jellbean, Gnex will be getting Key Lime Pie!
I noticed something else today...
If I look closely at my screen, there seems to be some banding going on, as if there is radio intereference with the screen's signal. Like what happened on old tv's when the signal wasn't coming in perfectly clear.
Anyone else experiencing this???
