I really don't know if it's a hardware or software problem.

Since I've read someone never experienced the problem,

it could be hardware.

But, many people who sent back the phone to customer

center, after hardware repair, tell to have the problem, still.

So it could be a software problem, caused by HTC SW

radio module. In this sense, it would be nice to know if

those one who had this problem and rooted their phone

to another UI (cyanogenmod, etc.), or changed

the radio module, were able to solve this problem. In this

case it would be definitely a SW problem.

Really, I don't know what to do... I cannot root my phone

because of the warranty, there is no official good SW solution

and I am not sure if the problem is SW.

Why should I stay with a broken phone, but a good smart

device? People, let's think about that.

We should complain with HTC...
[HTC Incredible S] jjdoctor:
Only 2 members with this issue alarms me of hardware issue... U r lucky to have warranty but my friend's mobile has none.. It would be a shock for him of out turns out hardware issue...

I tried rooting his mobile but Alpharevx didn't work for him and I was not willing, to flash european rom...

I guess I have no choice other than to root it and flash a different radio. .

Will try after a couple of weeks when he comes...
[HTC Incredible S] DavidKundalini:
That's bad.

Waiting for news about your flashing the device.

For the moment I have to wait, so I will not send back my

phone.

I'm leaving for holidays and I need to use my device as GPS

navigator...
[HTC Incredible S] DavidKundalini:
Any news about this topic?
[HTC Incredible S] raskal:
no news, i am facing same problems with the mic even after latest update
[HTC Incredible S] DavidKundalini:
On another support forum (http://androidforums.com/htc-incredible-s/374601-call-problem-echo-other-end.html),

other users noticed the same problem and told me this problem is particularly frequent with Vodafone networks and specific numbers.

I experimented the problem too with Vodafone mobile operator and now I'm trying with Wind. Conversations seem to be better, but I'm still in the testing phase.

What about you? Do you have Vodafone too?

Let me know.
[HTC Incredible S] jjdoctor:
Hey ! that sounds much true. Infact my Friend's mobile had this Low volume Prob I mentioned previously but yesterday he called me and the sound was fine from his side. Infact he changed his network 2 weeks back. I guess it has problem with some networks...
[HTC Incredible S] Enes_81:
It's a HTC thing.

All HTC phones have bad microphones, crappy speakers and use codecs from the '90s.
[HTC Incredible S] DavidKundalini:
I have sent yesterday my phone to HTC,

because of the problem in this thread.

Really hope they will fix the bad antenna/microphone problem.

What about you? Still have the problem of bad conversation quality?

Anyone solved it?

Have you seen this video?

Interesting, I've got the latest Rom from Optus (2.34.980.1) and I don't have this issue...

But anyway, thanks for the video.
[HTC Incredible S] Martin H3:
Greetings.

On my incredible s problem was deaf intermittent sound microphone. As if the cut off frequencies. The parties complained of a very bad relationship hearing from me.

I changed the 5 microphone - to no avail.

The reason - that the factory forgot to attach the insulating gasket.

I glued myself gasket applied 3M tape and the problem disappeared. Now the sound is clear.

Look.

I do not live in the USA and English is not my native tongue. Could someone with good English knowledge explain to me the definition of the term "soon" in Tmo announcement regarding the GB update?!?!?

Thanks everybody!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mahgninnuc93:
Soon

Soon means whenever they get around to it. Which so far has been sometime in May, "Before Summer", this summer and prior to armageddon.

There really is no way of knowing until you wake up one sunny day and find that you have a notification that you have a software update.

Hope that helps :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bighulk666:
Replies in this thread should be interesting.

Soon in this case means, whenever t-mo decides it is ready to release.

**** in one hand and wish in another, see what fills up first.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lindel:
What they said...

If you have a G2x, your best bet would be to root and then flash a rom of your choice. Then wait till TMO does release the new software and it's massaged by our outstanding devs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
Yes I live in Europe and I got a G2X from the USA and I pray to God everyday not to have any issue with the phone before this "soon" update arrives to fix all these bugs people complain about. I rooted it and run it on EB 1.05 for me works perfectly!, up to now at least!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gubidi:
I used to be up in arms about the update, but now that CM7 is basically stable, everyone should just run that. Arcee has done an incredible job with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
Thanks. Does CM7 have any known issues? Does everything work? I heard that the thing with this update is not the GB itself but LG drivers which should fix the issues. And since I live in Europe I have no way in the world to send my G2X back in the States to get another one if this one freaks out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gubidi:
The battery drivers are fixed with CM7 and the only thing that doesn't work is A2DP, so if you need that, flash EB.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] smashpunks:
I'm picky about bugs. That said I'm on cm7 and its very very stable. And has so many goodies.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
Since I have NO IDEA what A2DP is, I guess it's OK to flash CM7... I mean if it REALLY is that stable
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icecicle04:
LOL... yea cm7's nice bro ....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
I'm sure everyone else's reply will be far more helpful than mine. In the US, where we tend to legalize almost everything, soon means, we are working on it, but can neither confirm nor deny an actual release date. Soon means, yes, we have a release date, but will not publicize that date, because if something goes wrong and we miss the date, everyone on XDA will sue us. So, soon means, soon, the near future.

To some, soon means tomorrow, or next week. To others, soon will always mean, not soon enough. To me, I received my phone on June 13th. I still have alot of time before soon becomes worrisome to me. Others received their phones in April. Soon has a different meaning for them.

Suffice it to say, LG had a plan when they released this phone. Most likely that called for a summer release of GB. To me, it very much looks like, they are still on track for that release. Whether that meets others expectations of 'soon', hard to say. You can debate the merit of whether speaking plan truth or being vague are the proper courses of action. I will instead remind everyone of some historical events that illustrate what I am saying.

Years ago, Microsoft promised to release their Operating systems, when they are done. Eventually the big joke became, by how much they will miss their release date. Virtually every program they released, missed the estimated release date. The public outcry, was tell us when, then just release it. Microsoft eventually shifted their style of this, and announced a release date and promised to hit that date. And they did. The public outcry was, how can you release something that is not finished?

Though almost everyone agrees there are things wrong with the G2x, by industry events, its probably no worse than many other releases. There are MANY people that claim no issues other than perhaps battery life. If the truth ever was realized, problematic devices most likely range in the less that 5% range. One needs only visit forums of similar devices to realize that whats going on with this device is going on with other devices. This device is no better or worse than others...except for 1 thing...you own this device.

I suspect LG had a 90 day window for the update plans, which puts it around the mid July range. One of the forum members very nicely predicted July 17th, several weeks ago. Most of this is all industry standard.

Is 90 days soon? Is it soon enough? Or is it totally unacceptable? Soon enough, people will read this post and tell me I don't know s**t. But its too soon to tell about that. Soon I hope to be able to eat Breakfast. But no matter what, we'll soon have our answer. But, will it be soon enough?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
Do you think couldn't they have just waited a bit and in stead of Froyo released the phone with GB right away? Is it just the urge to be first dual core on the record at all cost no matter what, or is it normal? Just to say, I am totally satisfied with my G2X and I do not regret getting this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
I like you alodar1. I usually agree with most of what you say.

But I call BS on this part of your answer.

There were two different threads that took polls. One ended at about 2 out of 3 bad before IT closed and the 2nd was at around 1 in 2 last I checked. Even accounting for the oft posited fact that most here are power users and that's why they are here complaining, that's a LOT MORE than 5% bad.

I take issue when anyone tries to say that there are not real problems with most of the G2X's.

You may think I'm a whiner or I returned my phones for no good reason (I know better), but there is no changing the fact that I got four bad. Some were way worse than others, but they all had real problems. My last one seems great and my daughter got a great one from the get go. But there are a lot more than 5% of G2Xs that are bad.... a lot more. A lot of other people beside me are on their forth or fifth one. Others like my daughter got good ones from the get go.

I'm a fan. I am not keeping my Sensation. It cannot compare with the G2X. But I believe way more than 5% are bad.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Smart and business needs are usually 2 different things. Could they have waited? Maybe...but LG is a big company...they probably had this release scheduled for several months. Would it have been wise....maybe...but consider testing resources and planning to get to a release, and look at the other phones in their release lineup....you might realize that there was no room for to wait.

Years and Years ago, my wife argued against me getting a computer....wait she kept saying. One day are argued and ran out and bought a 386. She didn't say a word. But the next year, the 486's came out, cheaper than the 386 I bought the year before.....and she said to me...see, I told you.

Thing is, she's right, it was better and was cheaper. But that kind of arguement never fullfills itself...because there is something new everyday.

We take our phones to heart...they are an investment and we want to believe we make the best choices for us. When it looks like maybe we didn't, we spend time justifying why we did something. Thats where expectation gets in the way. We pulled the trigger and got what we got. After the remorse period, it was ours...most people, for 2 yrs..while the contract runs out.

But we can only expect companies to what is right and best...we know that their interests and ours are different. Should they have waited?? Why? They just released the Revolution...and the Thrill is coming out next month. waiting for the G2x would have only delayed those releases.

Remember, the bottom line is not quality and satisfaction, but rather, $$$.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
I completely agree with you. But if it is really true that there are so many issues with the phone it seems to me quite incredible that they did not notice at least some of it before it went into stores.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
A2DP is Advanced Audio Distribution Profile

A Bluetooth profile (mode) for streaming audio, such as from a music phone to headphones.

Compared to profiles such as Headset and Handsfree, A2DP supports stereo audio, and is one-way instead of two-way.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
No way is it just 5% bad, it HAS to be more.

My wife and I both have "bad" phones, and if the chance of getting a bad phone is 5% (random distribution), there was 0.25% chance of us both getting bad ones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Makes you wonder doesn't it. Could they have possibly ignored all the issues? Is their testing standard, not catching the issues? Or of all the devices they tested, did the issues not show up?

First time to this forum I searched for an issue list. I went down the list. After reviewing the list, I bought my device anyway. My theory was, if the reboot issue was so prevalent, why was it not caught. The answer I came up with ...it was a bad lot.

Other issues I looked at:

-Battery Life: all phones today have this issue. Truth is, there are ways to make it better. There are virtually no way to make it great. When I charge my battery I want it to last all month. I'll accept till dinner time.

-Screen bleed: No idea what this issue. If I have to change the normal settings on my phone to find it...its not a problem to me. This is a personal decision.

-Overheating: First...its dual core. Second, every phone I've ever had has overheated. Pull the battery , start again...does it stop? For me...every time.

-Dust under the display: Man, I wear glasses. Life is a blur. I like big, large letters. I don't see dust if I fall down.

-REbooting: Every phone I have ever had has rebooted...at least once. Sometimes it shuts off. If it continues, I replace it. If it still continues, I calmly get the company to exchange the device. The best way to do this, is in person. In person and able to reproduce the problem for them. Faced with proof, they will almost always do what's right.

Even looking at this list, bought the device because I know there is no way that any reliable company misses that stuff. It had to be limited and it had to be contained. If you want to be it was a conspiracy....then no forum post can help you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Ok...then what is a good number?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] towlieban:
For what its worth, I'm using the leaked build of Gingerbread on my g2x and I'm not having any issues at all. No rebooted/lockups. Battery life isn't amazing but nothing to really complain about.

I'd recommend installing it for now over a custom ROM. I used to use Cyanogenmod but had an issue with mobile defense not working right on Cyanogenmod since it didn't properly pass along my IMEI to mobile defense's servers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
I'm not great at numbers....but ....0.25%, wouldn't that number determined by the total overall number of devices currently in the system?

Its like the Toyota recall a couple of years ago....like...1% or something...till you look at the 25k number and you say thats alot. But out of 1 million or 2 million, whatever, sold, 25k is trivial...unless you're one of the 25k
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
I think you are absolutely right. But let me first explain why I started this tread in the first place. I live in Bosnia and I am worried about these complaints about bugs with the phone. So I hope the update would make sure I am on the safe side. How on earth would I return this phone to the States?!

Now to get to what you were saying. When I waited for a friend to bring me the phone from the States I got all these reports on bugs. And I panicked a great deal how to return a faulty phone?! And when it was here I was unconsciously trying all the time to "find" my phone WAS faulty. And sure enough I found the wireless would not work. I could not connect to every WiFi network and some were not working at all, I could not even find some networks other people with their phones could! So I said "I have a buggy phone" and started to make threads in different forums about possible solutions. The guy from LG even admitted me there are some software WiFi bugs with the phone. To cut it short - in the end it turned out there were absolutely no problems with the phone. As soon as I flashed EB1.05 I restored the connection problem and I can connect to every WiFi. The problem with not being able to find network was that we in Europe have 14 WiFi channels and you in the USA 11. So the EB1.05 has manual option to set the 14 channels which stock did not have.

So what's the point? Well if you "think" the phone is buggy sure you're gonna find something which in the end isn't a bug at all. It's clear - I bought the phone, heard all the "stories" about bugs, panicked, trying to "find" bugs with my phone and "found" them and then posted all around about the bug. If I lived in the States, I would've returned perfectly good phone as "faulty" and even LG would agree that there is a bug. I don't say there ain't any, but in some cases, like in mine, it is just paranoia and nothing else. If everybody is talking about bugs, sure all the phones have some "bugs".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
I just answered alodar1 #25 about this. I really believe many of these "bugs" are no bugs at all. My example shows it. I thought I had a bug and I posted all around about it. Even the guy from LG thought this was a bug. But it wasn't a bug at all. But when people hear all these stories they go to "find" bugs and don't stop until they have found it. But I do not deny there could be some serious bugs out there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
The Leaked GB rom was the

WORST

for me. It was the ONLY rom that gave me constant reboots. It would be found, turned off, in my pocket every couple of hours.

Stock Froyo nor CM7 did this to me. Plus I'm not sure when you last flashed CM7 but we're up to the 70th Nightly. Lots has changed in recent builds. I'm not sure about your "mobile defense" but I play games like Nova 2 and Battleheart all the time. Those are pretty intense games.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] seamonkey420:
agreed. however, i must say that i finally decided to try out the original, stock ROM for the G2x and flashed a nand of it to my G2x and so far have seen it now reboot 3 times today; each time related to the Wifi Tethering.

however, w/the leaked MCR GB rom and the Eaglesblood GB roms; i had zero reboots or freezes.

so i could see the frustration of the normal consumers who don't run custom roms or root or know what a recovery image is. i'll be either going back to EB's latest GB leakrom or perhaps the MCR since i like having a working video camera (which isn't the case w/the EB gb roms or CM7; they all seem to have issues w/the video camera).

perhaps this is our lucky week of an official GB release :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
I agree with you Alodar. My phone has had zero issues, but there are some features which I never use (WiFi tethering, Media Streaming, WiFi calling, among others) so I very well could have a problematic phone. Perhaps my own personal usage dictates the stability of my device.

People with problems are infinitely more motivated to complain than satisfied customers are to praise.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ickster:
I agree that's it's likely just a bad lot. Bugs the crap out of me that my daughters continues to be problem free LOL. But I also agree that many people have problems phones and don't even realize it.

@alodar1,I know you never implied anything about me or my experience, I was just trying to answer potential responses.

I love this phone and this forum. I continue to learn every day from you people. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
Yeah...thats the way I see it. I don't use alot of features. So its possible the issues lay in some of those areas and I would never see them. Many testers might also lack that experience, especially in hotspot and tethering areas.

Not saying bug claims are not legit. I think many are. But when you heard about dust spec under the display, did you take a bright light to your screen? :o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
did you try this.... restore your nand, boot into the phone, then hard reset? Defeats the point, yes....but....I'm not convinced that apps play a part in this also. A clean rom...as is....do ya have the same problems?

I keep coming back to what the CEO of Motorola said a few weeks back about Motorola phones. 90% of the cause of the returns of the phones is app related. Some of this could be a whine...but is all of it?

There are a couple of reasons we can only go so far into an OS. There are people here that are extremely brilliant. Even in CM 7 there are places he warns you not to go. Throw some ill designed apps onto that...could there be trouble brewing.

I asked over in the Dell Venue Pro forum, how many people had problems...out of the box....added NO apps, NO music, NO pics, etc. The story changes when you ask them to prove that....

How many people rebooted continually after just adding their google account and wifi? I bet there are some. I bet there are some that added their google account, wifi and bobs most excellent app. etc....

anyway...I whine...How bout those cowboys !!! bet these roms rock with new GB drivers.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] seamonkey420:
i have done the above since i was running custom roms from day one w/my G2x so last night i flashed the stock NAND, did a wipe after, fully charged battery, wiped battery stats and so far today have had my device reboot 3 times vs the 0 times when using either EaglesBlood or the MCR GB roms.

i didn't restore any of my previous data since i was running 2.3.4 vs the 2.2.2 that is stock and wiped my data twice before flashing the nand back and then twice after flashing the nand. (including dalvik cache, data/system partitions)

Wifi tethering caused 2 of the 3 reboots but the 3rd one is a mystery, i suspect either GPS or Wifi being the culprit.

So after running the stock rom for JUST a day, i can see why those who don't mod/root/custom rom their G2x are complaining. i noticed the reboots by the tmobile jingle playing in my pocket, checked phone and yup, it was rebooting.

so i'll def be going back to a custom GB rom asap until they release an official GB update. just wish the video camera would work on the CM7 and EB roms and they would include the LG Video Player (superior to the CM7/android default one imo).

POSSIBLY after we get the official GB release from T-mobile. But even then, it's a matter of whether the devs can get the proper drivers, which happen to be proprietary property of Nvidia. (This is my understanding, at least...if I'm not correct, please let me know.)

Are there any Gingerbread radios for the Dinc? I downloaded one that was supposed to go with the leaked gb build for the original dinc that was released a while back. I want to try it, but I would rather not brick my phone :P
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
I get the radios from Doug Piston's site.

There is a 05.06 radio that isn't listed on his site, and I think it's in the development forums somewhere. I use the 11.19 radio, and use NilsP's Business GingerSense 2.2 ROM. Works great!
