I'm on venome as well, but for some reason... Verizon pushed the 135 mb firmware update on me. I keep denying, but it keeps coming back... How do I stop this or is it the Venome auto update? If so, how do I install the update correctly. Thanks in advance!

I just got the update, and I still have terrible buzzing... I'm getting really pissed about this!

I would say it's something wrong with your phone then. I use my music every day on the way to work on the bus and I haven't had any buzzing since taking the ota. I'm on complete stock never unlocked or rooted. I like this phone the way it is so I'm leaving it be. But the ota fixed it for me.

Please realize not all electronics are dependable out of the box. Nothing mass produced is. If you are having issues i would advise taking your handset back to the store and having it replaced. It's not supposed to "Buzz"

If you are on your 4th and all of them are buzzing, i would look for another explanation.. The odds of getting 4 with the exact same problem is minimal.

I think the buzzing has something to do with the LTE radio interference

I've replaced the mini to RCA cable in my car with a high-end cable, and I've tried multiple headphones. I understand the odds, but I don't know what else to blame it on.

I'm on my second one and I've tried a few different ear buds. Still lots of static at low volumes. I haven't flashed the new update yet though I'm waiting on the next Viper beta with the ota merged in to see if it fixes it. Its on Verizon's change log so it must not be very rare. I don't get this static on ANYTHING else but my DNA.

That's not the only problem. When you stream through Google Music or Pandora or even YouTube, (WiFi or not) the 4G LTE radio causes another buzzing. HTC has confirmed this, but has yet to release a fix.

I actually have noticed this as well. Even though I wouldn't consider by JVC XX crappy or cheap, they do buzz while my klipsch do not.
Since, from what I have read, only a handful of us are experiencing this issue, I can only assume that only a handful of the devices are defective. So, I called up verizon yesterday and told them that my DNA has a hardware defect, and they are sending me a brand new device! (the DNAs are so new that they don't have refurbished ones yet)

BEATS AUDIO PETITION for the DNA

I've noticed many of you on viper 1.1.3 have enjoyed the beats mod that I was able to get working on our phone. I'm also very aware of everyone asking when it's gonna be updated for the new viper 1.2. Well after weeks of trying everything I can get my hands on to get it to work I've come up with nothing.
I did However find out some interesting things from HTC after writing them a few emails. I got them to tell me that yes an ota would give us more options for beats audio. But since they don't feel that there's nothing wrong with beats what's the point for fixing it? That's where you come in...
All I ask is a simple email to HTC explaining to them how much of a downer beats actually is on this phone. Its that simple. I know it's a long shot and I know it's a small crowd of us that actually give a damn about it but it's ridiculous that we have all of the same files in our phones as say the ONE X but are limited to just an on/off switch on the DNA.
Here's what's needed to send them your thoughts:
-the model of your phone.
-a brief description of what you find missing from beats(ie eq settings, etc)
-that's it.
-whatever you do DO NOT explain that you're rooted or s-off as that will do nothing but hurt our chances in getting this OTA.
Like I said it's a long shot at best but the more people making an uproar about it the more they may be inclined to do something about it.
Here's a direct link to their customer service website:

Sent: 'Hello, big HTC fan. I recently purchased the HTC DNA for Verizon, and noticed my Beats™ audio only has an on off switch? Why did u decide to include custom features for Beats™ in your One X then remove them in a later device? Your fans love Beats™ HTC, please dont let us down.'
EDIT: I received this e-mail back. ' I want to thank you for your feedback, Kennith. All of our customer’s opinions are extremely valued here, at HTC. This type of feedback is always welcomed, and let me assure you that it will be of great use in our efforts to further improve our customer experience.

[Q] htc amaze wifi error

im currently running ViperA1.7.1 I was previously using Energy_8.6.2012.Amaze.Sense.3.6_ICS both worked well no problems, but after about a week or so I start getting wifi errors and have to reflash the rom. ive done this numerous times and it gets tiresome having to set everything up again. is there a reason why I get wifi errors periodically ?
I'm not sure. But Viper is funny with wifi. Only with Viper I can't sign into my college wifi. Either way. Back up, format all partitions (except sd) , flash and restore?

Alright here we go,
If you haven't done so already, flash the most stable T-Mobile RUU. The most stable is not the latest. If you are S-OFF then you don't need to relock the bootloader. The RUU is NOT a stock custom ROM, it's a program that flashes the original stock ROM onto your phone and usually fixes all software related issues.
Check to see if Wi-Fi works. You can unlock the bootloader again if you're not S-OFF then re-root.
Now you may flash a ROM. :thumbup:

On this one I don't know if I can agree with you. Here in Miami, where T-Mobile has already finished refarming and reallocating its bandwidth from the Metro acquisition my WiFi and data is better than ever with the latest baseband. My connection is both fast and stable, and I don't have a single issue. This wasn't the case a couple of months ago, but then a call to T-Mobile tech support resulted in them giving me a new SIM card which resolved all of my problems. My previous SIM card was only 6 months old at the time, but tech support informed me of changes in how the new cards are programmed to take advantage of the new post merger configurations. Like I said, my service and connectivity is now the best it's ever been with the latest radio ruu.

I need your help!!! My bootloader was unlocked... and then i flash the t-mobile RUU!!! but i still have the problem ... what should i do ?!?! (
Does it say "Wi-Fi error" when you turn Wi-Fi on? I mean in the settings menu where it normally says "connected to..."
If it does you have a hardware issue.
There are two tricks to try.
1. Clean the little gold connectors on the back cover of your case. Those are the antenna connectors. Use a rubber eraser on a pencil. Get all the rubber shavings out before you reassemble.
2. There it's a tin foil trick that is a hardware mod. There a thread on it with pictures. The jist of it it's to put foil over the connectors to give it a bigger antenna. There are pros and cons of doing this. I did this for a while and didn't really see any results.
The Wi-Fi issues generally with earlier versions of viper amaze were from modules that didn't match the kernel. That has been resolved since before I added the aroma installer.
Also, one last thing. If you have two amazes ruining viper, they screw up the Wi-Fi. Going from sense 3.5 to sense 4.1 and up, there's something weird about how the phone gets its address, so if my dev device is on and Wi-Fi is on and my daily phone is on with Wi-Fi on, I don't get Wi-Fi on either.
Hope that helps!

Anyone experiencing this during calls? On my 3rd note 3 and they all have this. Could it be sprint? I know they are upgrading all the towers here but they been doing it a couple months now.

No issues on my end. I have the black Note 3 if that helps.
I got the black one. It will be fine for a minute, then start making noises and crackling type sounds. But this is my 3rd note. So I was just curious if maybe it could be the network? I am gonna try a wifi Call and see if it's different

That's odd, Iv'e made several calls on mine since yesterday in different locations and have not had a problem. Have you rooted or tried any thing audio wise? Also is your volume at the max?

Doesn't do it when I listen to the pre recorded visual Voice mail messages. And it will be fine on a call for a minute and then start acting up. I notice on my wife's Galaxy S3 that when the signal is bad and stays to break up it kinda sounds similar to what I'm hearing, just not so noticeable. I'm wondering if it's these upgrades they are doing here. Funny how pre recorded messages don't have this issue but when I'm on a call it does

Most likely a network issue. I know when they are working on towers they offload on to other towers and that causes all kind of problems. Id say give it sometime. If you have the TEP on the phone hardware issues are covered for free.

This is my second note 3, bought at best buy sprint. Calls are crackly found a article that says they having crackly calls phone issue. I'm returning this shut if it's phone defect and note network related.

I'm gonna wait until the end of the week to see if it goes away. what's the chances of getting 3 defective notes all with the same issue? Like I said, listening to the pre recorded voice mails that came on the phone play just fine which leads me to believe that if it were a hardware issue, it would happen when I play those messages as well but it doesn't

I know it can't be hardware because phone calls make this sound whether it's through the headpiece or the speaker phone. But music and other apps that use the speaker don't have this noise.
I'm thinking it may have something to do with the radio. May need to be updated.
If I get a 4th note and it does it then I know it's something network related. My wife's Galaxy S3 isn't as pronounced but you can kinda hear it. The note 3 is just more noticeable

My Note 3's speaker & earpiece sucks. I paid full price. It's going back for a refund........Will get a 1max if tri-band, or Mega till Note 4.

Wondering if it's a bad radio firmware that can't be fixed with an update. I don't talk on my phone much but I don't want it to sound digitized with popping and crackling sounds

Just a heads up,
I was looking at a co-workers G2 on Verizon today and heard the same cracklin' when making a call, it wasn't that way on messages or audio.
But when making a call it had the same issue. I did not try making a wifi call.
She thought it was just her who heard the noise but is super irritated now. She is looking into the LG Optimus G Pro on AT&T.
I have the same crackling irritating popping noises while making and receiving phone calls. It happens if I am using the phone earpiece, speakerphone, earbuds, and also on Bluetooth. When playing music on ear buds I do not hear the crackling and popping irritating noise. That sucks because I really like the phone but I run a business and I really need to use the device as a phone. I will definitely be returning this phone in a couple days if the issue does not get any better which I'm 99 percent sure it won't on its own.

I am having the same problem. chirping, garbled sounds, buzz noises, etc. Hopefully this can be fixed with a software update.

I am in the situation as yourself. I also run a business and since I am on wifi 95% of the time. I already am using Line2 and for me and how I use my devices Line2 has been a life saver. Especially when I at a clients place up in the hills where there is no hope of a signal.
Hope it gets better for you and the rest of the folks out there.
