Ive had two issues today. Both issues were repeatable after reboot for much of the day. However, for now I am not able to reproduce them. The first issue (3G not working unless phone set for LTE) was happening before and after I rooted the phone this morning. The second issue (freezing in Visual Voicemail) did not happen until this afternoon. (I made video recording of the freezing to show Verizon when/if I exchange the phone.)
(1) Im not in 4G area. So I set phone to CDMA only. For most of the day this would prevent 3G internet from working. But when I set it back to CDMA/LTE then 3G would work fine. However, about an hour ago I tried again and now 3G works under CDMA only. Wierd.
(2) I could never get my OG Droid to play Visual Voicemails thru my bluetooth headset. And earlier today I was still unable to get the Bionic to play visual voicemails via bluetooth. However, this evening, unexpectedly, visual voicemail audio was being sent to my bluetooth headset. I listened to a few voicemails and then deleted one. During the next voicemail playback the phone froze for 10-15 seconds before restarting by itself. I repeated this and it froze again. (I used OG Driod to video this cycle several times.) Evenually I began to play a game and browse internet to see if it would freeze during other activities. Soon after I could no longer repeat the visual voicemail freezing, and at the same time the audio was again playing via handset and not bluetooth. ??
I'm still concerned for this particular phone... but the Bionic itself is great. (Especially moving up from OG Droid)
