Need input FAST please -- Bionics without reboot or hiss?

[furbymac]

Thanks all for the wonderful input. I have decided to keep the phone (I should say keep a Bionic) but just exchange it for a new one. I was going to just downright return it today (my 14th day). I do love the phone though overall.

I am going to test the "hiss" in store at Costco before taking the new one. That should help eliminate that problem. The rebooting I am hoping for a software fix from Bionic soon.

let me know if you have an issue with the hiss on the new bionic as this is the only thing keeping me from getting this phone at the moment. i listen to pandora a lot and that would drive me batty

I had two of them and both had the headphone issue. I tried it with two sets of headphones I used on my X with no issues and both had issues on both Bionics. I sent both back and went back to my X for now. The 2nd phone they sent me also had a faint grid pattern that I could see on the screen when it was off or when displaying images with large sections of black like the Dr Dre 2001 album art. The first phone I had did not have this at all. I compared side by side.

Irony of ironies, we tried all 4 of the bionics in Costco and they all had the hisssss sound out of the headphone jack. The guy couldn't believe it. He was very apologitic. Kept saying that the 4G is interfering somehow and to turn off 4G and it won't hiss.

Right! I ended up just returning the phone.

I am not taking a lemon or a beta or whatever you want to call these Bionics. Very sad as I am now spending 4h rebuilding my Droid X. But at least it never rebooted on me and the headphones are as clear as bell.

Sigh...
