Please help create a list of known issues for HTC - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If anyone who desires to get known issues passed on to HTC if you would be so kind to head over to this thread and post any relevant information you have. Not trying to promote the forums over there I just right now have a good conversation going with HTC through a tech support ticket and I mentioned of the good community forums I take part in here and AC and they asked for links to specific threads and if there was a thread of known issues. So I figured it can not hurt to try and pass them on specific information since a ton of people never call in after dealing with tech support of VZ and so these issues are never addressed by people who need to know about to them look into them.
Thank you

+1 on battery

Note - even with the below, I absolutely LOVE this phone.
Video Camera Sound Recording - OTA seems to have resolved this for me
3G <=> 4G Handoff - OTA seems to have resolved this for me
Battery Life - I have few to no complaints, but improvements always welcome
WiFi Timeout/Drop - Has happened since launch day, OTA did not fix (When at home and using WiFi, if I leave it on but don't use it for a lenghty period of time, the data seems to stop working and I have to disconnect/reconnect wifi to get it working again. I use many other WiFi devices in my home and none suffer from this issue, which leads me to blame the phone.)
GPS Lock Issues - started after OTA for me
Random Reboots - started after OTA for me, two so far, but that's two more than are welcome.
Voice Call Volume - even on lowest setting, mine is freaking loud. Bearable, but loud.

Old 2.1 leak vs new 2.1 leak

[flameproof suit]
Hey guys, been away a couple weeks due to my mother having some health issues. Oh what a difference a couple weeks makes around here. So I see there's a second 2.1 leak out now. I scanned MOST of the thread titles (at least the first 6 pages) and opened a few of the threads looking for info on the new one. From what I found, it looks like the main difference is fixing of the issue with google requiring login over and over. Is there more to it than that? I installed the first leak on my wife's Eris and it's been working well, but I've been (not so) patiently waiting for the "official" OTA for my own Eris. Starting to feel like it's never going to happen and wondering if I should just go ahead and leak on mine!
And while (if?) I've got your attention, my wife has had one complaint about her phone since I installed the 2.1 that I've not seen mentioned elswhere. Now mind you, gadgets are NOT my wife's forte`, and I'm definitely not ruling out operator error. However, she 'says' that her phone keeps somehow ending up on "silent mode" and she has no idea how. Again, knowing my wife, it could easily be her doing, but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this with first leak 2.1?? [/flameproof suit]
TIA,
i have installed the 1st Leak on my Girlfriends phone, and no she doesn't have this problem, shes actually very happy with it and says its very fast and the battery now last her long unlike before!

From scanning one of the threads over at Android forums, it seems like the only major difference with the new leak is, as you said, that the google login bug is now fixed. Some people did report one more bar of reception in certain areas where it had previously been lower; however, I don't believe that anybody reported the "time without a signal" bug being fixed, so it could be that the software was re-calibrated to report more bars even though the actual signal strength was the same. If you've already updated to the first leaked 2.1, I personally wouldn't bother flashing the new leak...too much work to back-up and restore apps, contacts, etc. for little improvement.
As for your wife, it's quite probable that she's accidentally hitting the volume down button on the side of the device (maybe from pressure in her purse or pocket) until it goes into silent mode. Nobody's reported that as a bug that I know of, and I haven't experienced it personally (on first leaked 2.1), so I think you're correct in assuming it's user error.
Hope that helps.
Hey Dave, new to the forums here, but I'll throw in my 2 cents.
On my last Eris, I installed the very first 2.1 leak (which I'm assuming is the one your wife has) and I found that the bug on mine was that the volume was set to the max for ringtones, notifications, alarm, etc.. But when I would receive a notification it wouldnt play. I'm guessing maybe that's what she is experiencing. I understand you said it was actually going into silent mode, but the problem she is telling you could be this.
I've also noticed a couple of other differences but I just Installed it yesterday. The download more Htc widgets now works(no big deal there) I am pretty sure I have noticed a change or 2 in settings also. I'll post again if I notice anything else.

Yeah, my wife is so bad with gadgets I don't even like to let her set the alarm clock. Thanks for the reply though. I did mention to her that she should make sure she's not accidentally hitting the volume down button.

It's not notification sounds that are the problem, it's the ringer. I call her, but she says she never heard it ring. Eventually she sees the "orb" glowing and checks notifications to see she missed a call, then checks to once again find it in "silent mode". Really annoying for me. I pay good money for her to have a cell phone and I can never reach her when I need to. Then again, it was that way before she got her Eris. Again...gadgets..............................
And BTW, I think notification sounds are controlled by "media volume", not "ringer volume", but I could be mistaken.
On the new 2.1 leak here.
1. Google Voice app still not routing calls through the GV #. I have to use the older app version (0.2) which doesn't have voicemail integration native or synchronized inbox.
2. HTC get more widgets does not work. I get an error message saying, "Unable to download widgets. Tap to try again."
3. I have noticed improved battery life. On the previous leak, if I forgot to charge it around 9pm it would quickly die. But I was able to leave it unplugged all night and still have a little juice in the morning.

HTC 2.1 Release Candidate (AKA OTA) Leak Rom
1) I agree latest GV not working , using 0.2.0 seems fine
2) I am able to get more widgets to work : shows six (6) more widgets Battery, daily chalange etc
3) Still testing , not sure if battery has improved for me.
4) still no pictures in Gmail ( shows ? )
Happened to me
There's a setting under Sound & Display that says "Quiet ring on pickup"...check to see if that is active. It happened to me where I was keeping my phone in my purse, and anytime someone would call me, because i would be carrying my purse, the motion would silence the ring, and I wouldn't know that anyone called. That's certainly a possibility.
Does anyone kno of a ROM that has the new version of the 2.1 leak that will work on the g1?

[Fix] Audio Fix for Droid Eris

Hey everyone. im from the Hero CDMA forum. i have made audio fix patches for the hero that fixed the audio loss for 2.1 roms.
I recently ended development for the audio fixes because the issue began to rise in people with stock heros. but with that aside, i will create a fix for eris users if enough of you have the problem. i believe i have seen 7-8 people with it. anyways leave a comment telling me you have the issue, when it happened, what roms cause it, and what your software builds are, and what roms dont cause the issue. thanks for the cooperation and i hope i can help
Hey Avalaunchmods!
Thanks for the help with this! I am running the Aloysius (Coincidentally a Hero port):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663893
Audio usually cuts out for me when I am receiving a notification. It will kind of stutter/jitter and then continue to play.
one of my custom ringtones cut out on an incoming call once, but only once. so it may have only been a fluke. hadnt happened before or after.

I get the same using VanillaDroid ROM.
Thanks for the help!
I have had this problem pop up intermittently, but with increasing regularity (up to 2-3 times daily at its worst). The sound profile and volumes remain unchanged, but sometimes for no apparent reason, all audio drops. If I get a call, there is no ringer. If I get a notification, there is no audible alert. If I place/answer a call, the earpiece/speakerphone are silent, and the other party doesn't hear me. The rest of the phone's functions still work, and vibrate still works, but there is no audio from any apps or OS functions until I reboot the phone.
As for particular triggers, I haven't found any yet. I had been running ivan's 0.8t2, but have downgraded to his older 0.5.4 to see if the problem is fixed. So far it hasn't popped up, but it's only been a few days.
Thanks again for your willingness to help. I'll be sure to let you know if I see the problem resurface.
I know the fix is only possible in rooted phones, but I wanted to chime in and let you know that a lot of people on 2.1 leak v2 non-rooted are having this issue, so you can see some of the symptom reports in these threads on androidforums:

I have a non-rooted phone and I have the same issues...
If by audio problems, you mean no sound via ringtones, notification or voice over the ear piece, then I have experienced it with Ivan's 08T2. I've had it happen about three times. I did a reboot and it corrected it.
another Aloysius user here, and yep, audio problems out the wazoo. good thing I text mostly.
alright this got moved to general?
i though this would fit in development haha.
anyways ill get on a fix i believe. ill put it somewhere. not dev..
I've had audio issues, but the only thing that seems to cause it for me us getting a force close on any program that is currently playing audio, such as a music player or (worse) an alarm clock.
I've never had audio just randomly cut out on me, but it definitely all stops working after such a force close
I'm having the same audio issues. I'm currently on VanillaDroid v1.0. I experienced the issue on the eris21official-root ROM as well. It usually happens after I use the camera to snap a few pictures. If I don't use the camera, it is pretty stable. Let me know if you need any further information.

Avalaunchmods,
Since the Droid Eris kernel code was made available from HTC, have you been able to make any further progress fixing the audio loss bug for the Eris and Hero?
Right now the only solution we know of is to replace the phone. (Those of us who have gotten warranty replacements have not had the problem resurface.)
But even if the problem is related to certain hardware, it seems like there might be a way to fix the kernel's *reaction* to the problem, so that the phone doesn't become unusable.
Having the problem too.
Happened on Evil Eris and Ivans.
Any update on this? I am having the same issue on both CyanogenEris v1.1 and ELB-Cyanogen.
i am having this issue as well, running Ivans Eris_Official 1.0 Alpha. Experienced this issue on the 0.82t also. No audio from the phone's earpiece (speakerphone wont work either) when a call comes in, or if i try to call them back. have to reset the phone and then it works. I'm running setcpu at 710 now, but i wasn't on 0.82t so probably not the culprit.
My software version stats, in case it matters -

hi..i'm havin this issue too!
I'm on a froyo rom now. I was on an xtr rom when I noticed this problem. Tried to flash a new rom to get rid of it and it's still there. I can use the phone for a few hours and then the only way i can answer calls is through speakerphone.

Audio Problem
I've had this problem every since the 2.1 update. My wife and I both had it (we both have a Eris) on unrooted phones. I rooted to ErisLightning and still had it, switched to Tainted Vanilla, and now I'm on Lightning Bolt. My wife is on Droid Does Pink and we've had the problem with every single rom. Sometimes when we receive or make calls, the phone will go completely mute. We can't hear the other person and they can't hear us. We can't hear a ring tone if calling someone either.
I use Google Voice and I sometimes get ghost voicemails. It will save the entire length of the voicemail, but it will be completely mute. Even if I restart and re-open GV it's still mute.
For now, we're just rebooting whenever we have this problem. Seems to be the only way to get audio back.

Software update!?

when i had my evo 3d, there were 3 subsequent software updates that came out to fix bugs and optimize the sense experiance; however, htc hasnt released a software update yet to fix bugs... whats up with this, are they getting lax on customer support issues, i really dont want to root the smartphone, but im thinking i might have to... what rom really cleans the device up, any suggestions would be nice, considering, i didnt want to root, because the device is top notch, hardware wise, but maybe our devs are cleaning things up that i dont know about.. devs and bros... let me know what you think
For your issues with HTC I would just recommend that you contact support and tell them whatever you think needs fixed.
As far as custom roms meanrom is great.

We got spoiled with the Evo 3D and there being a software update on what, day one? I think we really need a software update for the E4GLTE already. The inconsistent signal is really starting to be annoying.
If they needed a software update for the EVO 3d on day one, there must have been some serious problems with it.. plus look at the support from HTC and Sprint now for the EVO 3d.

For what's worth (and I know this is a stupidly minor bug) I do hope an OTA comes to fix the "Productivity" lockscreen. If you have hyphenated phone numbers in your contacts list, and one of them texts you, the Productivity lockscreen shows their phone number instead of their name. The One-X has already been updated to fix this, among other things.
Again, I know it's small, but it's something. One can only hope they allow for the "Mail" widget on the Productivity lockscreen can at some point show GMail instead of main mail. That would be awesome.
I'm with ya, there needs to be an update to address some of the minor issues...
There are a few

No major bug?!?!?!
The wifi on this thing is a major bug! I'll use it on my home wifi network and leave, when I check my phone later far away from home it says it is still connected to my home wifi network, while the entire I'm not getting data because it doesn't connect to the mobile network.
When the 3D came out, HTC had a bug fix that very same day to correct quick apps disappearing from the lock screen. Even the original EVO 4G had a bug fix out within the first week to correct problems.
Samsung had a bug fix out the second week for the Galaxy S3 to correct problems.
HTC is losing it and if they keep this up those shrinking revenue numbers will keep coming.

I'm glad I'm not the only one having the issue of my wifi not disconnecting. My wifi also randomly drops while connected unless I have the "best wifi performance" box checked.
I think there are slight bugs with the new sense, but can be delt with. However, I do believe all "my" major issues (i.e. missed calls, missed sms when using stock or 3rd party sms apps) is a Sprint issue. Sprint's network here in Sacramento (Rancho Cordova), CA. obviously conflicts with the new LTE antena located in the EVOLTE.

rancho? what's up neighbor
bug with font sizes?
Has anyone seen the font sizes change randomly? Mostly happens in Messaging and Mail app. The mail app will sometimes have giant text, and sometimes medium sized text even tho I have the setting set to small. It also doesn't let me pinch to increase or decrease the size of the text... Its really annoying!

I have the same problem, but the pinch-to-resize works for my text.
Well if it's any consolidation we'll probably get an OTA by this weekend if not next. LTE is scheduled to go live on Sunday and there were talks and reports of there being LTE connection issues (the same as how the 3g connection constantly drops for no reason) and an OTA to correct the issue. Now there is also some wording on the Google Play Store under Google Wallet correlating that there will be an OTA in July that will restore Google Wallet functionality. Makes sense since the GSIII had an OTA about the same time as the 7/1 update and that fixed Google Wallet for them. So ours will probably be encompassing a decent amount of bug fixes if at least not those two.
Fix the Wi-Fi disconnects and the multi-tasking essentially keeping nothing running in the background, and I'm good.
A fix for bluetooth audio would be fantastic.
A fix for this stupid multi tasking would be REALLY appreciated.

No sound from earpiece/Call bug info

Hi all
Please bare with me as I'm not the best when it comes to typing out what im thinking or trying to say
This info is mainly for our awesome devs but also for everyone else. Shout outs to @Unjustified Dev @DrakenFX @tdm and anyone else who can fix this
I was just wanting to help get this fixed as this one bug is keeping a lot of users including myself from moving away from stock and enjoying all the other roms available. I believe the bug has to do with the the work our beloved anonymous dev who helped correct the speaker issues a few months ago. Specifically this---> https://review.lineageos.org/#/c/168154/.
I'm pretty confidant it has nothing to do with any of the different modems people are flashing. I have tested this with all of the different modem versions for my G variant and none have made a difference
Also, there are other users that are getting this bug confused with another potential bug that has to do with distorted sound coming out when activating speakerphone while in call or something like that. I have not experienced that bug so I dont know the specifics. People are just using the term "Speakerphone bug" as both of these bugs involve the speakerphone
Now I can create the bug at will and have attached logcats below in the different scenarios. Hopefully the info is there for those who know how to fix
The steps I do to recreate the bug are as follows
1 - unlock phone and using the volume buttons, make sure the ringtone is NOT set to vibrate/silent and Do Not Disturb is NOT activated.
2 - Make a call. Call comes through earpiece as expected, no issues. Person on the other side can hear perfectly. Repeat as many times as you want, sound always comes through earpiece
3 - using volume buttons, reduce ringtone volume to vibrate/silent or turn on Do Not Disturb
4 - Make a call. Call comes through earpiece as expected, Hang up
5 - With the ringtone still set to silent/vibrate, turn the screen off using the power button and let it sit for about 5 - 10 seconds
6 - Unlock the phone and try to make a call. Call will connect but no sound will come from earpiece. Person on the other side can hear everything as per normal but we cant hear them
7 - While in call, toggle the speakerphone or if you have dial pad sounds enabled in the sound menu, press a number on the dial pad, sound now comes through earpiece as expected
From my testing and the procedure above, you can see that the bug happens when the phones ringer is put in silent/vibrate or when do not disturb is activated and the phone is locked/unlocked.
logcat 1 is with everything working normally, ringtone set to sound and call coming through earpiece as expected
logcat 2 is with ringtone set to silent and making a call. No sound comes from earpiece
logcat 3 is the same as 2 but during the call toggling speakerphone to fix
Now I dont know what is going on in the logs but I do see a lot of errors from "TFA9890"
This was all done on a fresh install of the universal bootloader, twrp 3.1.1.0, A2017G N Modem, latest LOS and Open Gapps mini and logcats were captured with MatLog on my G variant
Oh see this is Incredibly interesting, because tfa4990 is the route being used.... This is potentially incredibly helpful!!!!
I'm going to analyze these I've the weekend and see if I can figure something out. Thank you for the logs
Interesting timing on this post. I've been working on the axon7mini the past 10 days or so, and it also uses the tfa9890 amp. So I've started to familiarize myself with how all this stuff works. (I have pretty much zero experience with android audio in the past).
Fantastic post, well done. I have only encountered the problem a couple of times but upon reading what you wrote a little light bulb went off, that is exactly the situation that it occurs for me as well. It's this sort of interaction and support between the users and devs at xda have that makes it all so worthwhile. Thanks again.
As someone who's dealt with this bug for a long, long time... I have to commend you on a fantastic post. Thanks, and I hope this leads to a solution!
I hope this is looked into in the process of porting LOS 15. Would be cool to see this issue disappear.
Would this bug also happen on the U variant? I tried to recreate it using the steps above and it worked fine.

I think I have read somewhere that it is not affecting U which might be the reason this has not yet been fixed but I cannot remember where I read this.
We would need the logs from an U variant to check if it looks the same.

It does affect the U variant. I have one and it happened a few times that when I would call someone I had no ringing tone coming from the earpiece unless I toggled the speakerphone on/off.
same problem here in a2017g aosp extended...
So I take it we can give up trying to solve this? Seems to exist in all non stock roms.
Wish someone would fix it. I don't even know where to begin, and with what I've read about the axon 9, i wont be switching phones for quite some time.

did you guys try the fix that @Miustone plasters all over XDA?
@Miustone Could you make a flashable zip with ONLY THAT ONE FIX for the Fluence stuff? Pretty please?

Fluence settings will not fix driver implementation. Miustone's claims are misleading. I have tested it to death
The only way to fix would be by a Dev with audio skills. Good luck finding one. I've tried
Stay on a stock roms or risk not hearing in calls in other roms

I fixed all Mic Bugs, Just the Echo is left which seams to came from /system/vendor/etc. Don't blame Me for the Bugs, i never touched the Sources of the Axon 7 and besides Kranoner has No Dev ever asked Me about it again. That My Patch is fixing Bugs means Just that there are Things Missing which are working and present on other Devices too...
I was coming from the LG G5 which has used almost the Same Fluence and Mic Configs as currently present in the Patch. Point.

Well, you have a chance to prove it! Make a flashable zip with ONLY the call bug fixes. If it actually fixes their problems then they'll believe you. otherwise they're right not to.
It's next to pointless using a custom rom if you want a good daily driver.
I bought this phone because I thought things like this could be solved this day and age but I won't be making that mistake next time!

Omg who is blaming you for bugs? Your claiming you fixed it but many others still have this issue
This thread is not about mic issues. Please re-read first post and for the hell of it, check out the logcats. They might help you actually fix it
Unless your digging into the audio/dac driver code, I'm doubtful it will ever be fixed
Why do yall think its the driver? I dont have any problems with audio, its how the Phone app is handling it. If i was to debug this I would check the source for the Phone app and trace it from there. It seems like something might not be using the driver correctly, but the driver seems to be working fine. I could be wrong but I'm not new to linux and android, just no experience with audio development.
Maybe try installing stock phone app on LOS or RR and see if it still has problems. That would either show where the problem is or eliminate Phone app from being source of problem.

Redmi Note 9S Call dropping

Hey all,
Am I the only one having issues during phone calls? When I call someone, sometimes the call drops randomly and I hear a network fail sound. I can't reproduce it. Sometimes it happens, others don't. Does anyone experience the same or have any solution? I have tried both SIM slots and doesn't help in any way. I have 4g coverage so I don't believe it's a problem with my network provider (vodafone).
Thanks
PS: Why not change the thread title to include 9S model as well?

Is it confirmed? I just returned the smartphone to the shop and asked for a refund since I could not find anyone with the same issue. Now, I'm reluctant to ask for another equipment since it is very frustrating to have such a bug as calls dropping randomly.

Hello it´s append to to me also,, I´m from Portugal to.
I use this phone for work, and phone calls drop randomly
Same
Just glad I'm not the only one but yes this problem is very annoying
I really want to give xiaomi a chance but this is the most basic function of a phone and it's failing
Previously it also had an issue of losing internet connection but I think they fixed that with a patch so hopefully there will be one soon with this call dropping issue (also sometimes I cannot receive calls either…)
randomly happens.
I'm on 11.0.8.0 USA
I hope they fix it. I really like this phone.
I ended up returning the phone. It is really annoying and as you said it's the most basic function of a phone. I'll be waiting for a fix and/or another model. I don't believe they'll fix it before miui 12 since it's just around the corner and that update may bring other bugs so they must not be fixing any bugs of miui 11. Just my 2 cents, of course.
I enabled wifi calling and its now stable when I am on wifi.
I use tmobile.
Enter these codes into the Dialer to enable the options in Settings. (Settings < SIM Cards & mobile networks < Sim Card Settings < VoLTE Enabled/Make Calls using WLAN)
VoLTE *#*#86583#*#*
VoWIFI *#*#869434#*#*
Things should work after you enable the two options.
I use wifi calling as well as network calling guys, every lengthy call eventually gets dropped. Very annoying!
I love the phone and I am holding hope in resolving these issues by flashing a custom rom. I asked the question regarding the call dropping and wifi bug in the Evolution X thread, apparently all is working well without problems with that rom.

Is evolution x rom the only custom rom confirm to resolve the drop call issue? Any others?

I'm not sure. I've been keeping an eye out in the custom ROM threads for any mention of the two bugs. I haven't seen anything at all.
I asked the dev in the Evolution X thread and he confirmed all is working well regarding this. It seems that development is very active with that ROM, I really want to flash it but there are a few reports of people getting bootloop errors initially, and we still don't have the official TWRP.
I love Miui, after all you can freeze out or remove many of the pesky apps, it works well but it's just the call dropping and the wifi bugs that are plaguing many. This is a major issue that doesn't seen to be getting resolved. Pretty disappointing really.

I read that the dev is no longer going forward with the evolution rom. I really hope this is fix in xiaomis next update. For now wifi calling is the temp fix for me.

I read that the developer QuantumShqipe has received some donations now to continue the ongoing work of Evo x which is great news for the development.
Just a note on wifi calling with Miui, I still get call dropping with wifi calls, even though I can be right next to the router. I also notice that the wifi calling icon is on and off. I never stays constantly on when in good range of the router. The preference is even set to 'prefer wifi to network' in settings. Putting the phone in airplane mode helps that problem but it's crazy having to do all these work arounds. Like you, and everyone else I just wish the issue would get fixed ASAP. I have never known any phone to have it's most obvious function fail.
You know what, Xiaomi developers knew about this problem with wifi/call drops. Of course they did. But management decided to rush the product to market to generate more sales. I feel stupid for buying a brand new phone but not in my wildest imagination could I believe they would mess up the very basic fundamental functions of a smart-phone.

Totally agree Tangoviking. I really hope someone of some importance at Xiaomi is taking note here. It's a total disgrace. Not even a reassuring mention of a fix.

I'm holding off for official mui 12 which I'm hoping its soon.
I just updated to 11.0.9.0 yesterday. So far I haven't noticed any drops but then again I haven't really used the phone for more than 1-minute duration.
Any tentative date of mui 12 release?

I too will be holding off until Miui 12, that will be the decider. I haven't a clue when it's rolling out, I thought late June but we're already there. I'm not bothering with any updates until then unless it's specific to the bugs.
More or less same issue
i also need some help. Redmi Note 8, with MIUI Global 11.09.9 Stable. The call drops in the middle of the conversation, that is, I can still hear my calling partner, but they cannot hear me anymore. It happens at random, not always but mostly, also, it happens after 1 minute or 5 or 10 minutes, not logical. Anybody? Already tried everything I think....
Redmi Note 9S - call dropping issue
I have the same problem with call dropping irregularly. The phone function is totally unreliable.
I tried many MIUI's so far:
11.0.3 (EU-official)
11.0.4 (EU-official)
11.0.4 (EU-XTRV from the Greek forum)
11.0.8 (Global-official)
11.0.11 (Global-official)
The problem persists with all of them, which means that most probably it is a hardware issue with a batch of this model.
