Sound problem on thunderbolt

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.

Hmmm, I wonder if I should try that? I have the stock RUU sitting on the root of my SD card (with a bak extension of course) in case the store could swap my phone tonight.

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?

That's odd. You've tried numorous times? I know sometimes it doesn't say there's an update available so I keep increasing the date and trying again until I get it. Usually 2 or 3 times.

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.
Good luck.

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.

Hard Bricked Samsung Galaxy S 4G...Please help..

Hi, everyone, I've recently HARD BRICKED my Samsung Galaxy MODEL: T959V with T-mobile.
First off, I got pattern locked on my phone, yea I know I'm an idiot, LOL. Next I totally forgot my gmail password so I could not log back into my phone.
So then I next decided to flash back to stock with odin 1.7 and T959UVJFD. tar file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1047087.
As a result, my phone would boot to the loading screen with the dashed circle and a battery display in the background and thus would not finish booting all the way.
So I figured I would do more research and found that people would try flashing with the Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...833024&page=49 and after flash back to stock.
After I flashed with the Eugene rom this was when the phone completely died and would not turn on. I tried the take out the battery, holding down and up volume button and plugging into computer method but the computer would not detect it anymore.
Now I don't know what to do. I realized I was flashing with the Galaxy Vibrant kernels with Odin and now, it won't turn on anymore and can't boot into download mode. It is also not being detected my computer when I plug it in. I'ts a blank screen.
Please help.. Thanks, and appreciate it.

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.

Well I just Odin'd back to stock, re-rooted and flashed synergy. Again, no texting or calling ability, yet I still have data. I'm outdoors in the middle of the city, so there's no reason it shouldn't be working.. I decided to call Verizon as well just to see, and they can't figure out what's going on either. The SIM card shouldn't be bad if I'm getting full 4G, right? Maybe I'll run down and pick up a new one to try.
