Problems after update - list only

[scott15851]

Hey guys how about we make a list only of problems we are still having, simple posts not paragraphs of rambling. Hopefully that way HTC and Verizon can solve quicker.

Also ideas we would like for next update.

-One start up screen please not 3
-Option to disable Verizon media page when connected to computer.
-Signal keeps dropping, in 4g, 3g, or out of town places, that barely has 1x. Doesn't matter.
These should be simple enough.

Signal is crap...4G not holding where it was strong before update.
Wifi sucks....can't sync exchange account or news while on wifi.

This was a really good phone until the update. Hey HTC, I'd rather have a daily reboot then this crap signal issues that never reboots.

after update my TB battery life is worse. Went from 33% to dead in 1 1/2 hour of NO use at all. It was fully charged at 8 AM. I wennt to the gym at 10:30. It was in my gym bag during workout.
This battery life is getting rediculous.
Also while laying at the pool Sunday,it was about 90deg out, I was listening to Pandora on my TB after not to long I reached to chg tunes and phone was RED HOT. I checked battery widget, it was 160Deg's. I shut it right off. It is still rebooting. Never rooted. Just wanna say %$!*&**!!!!!!

GPS drops satellite lock every few seconds. Everything is great except for that.

Also had the GPS drop issue start after the update. Do notice it when using for navigation.

My food tastes like crud
None of my running shoes fit anymore
My dog died
My IRA went belly up
My wife only wants to have sex when my TB reboots (which i never does)
My grass needs mowed 5 times a day
My cable bill went up 95%
The lottery numbers I pick are always off by 5 digits
The GPS locks on too fast

I have noticed absolutely no change in battery life - I still swap batteries half way through the day…but I'm so pissed about these other things to even care anymore.

Mike, why is your last item a "problem" that the GPS locks on too fast?

 

[realitydigg]

My only issue is being bumped down to 3G aggressively. I always had strong 4G signal and now Iam only seeing 3g in the same location. While I am on WiFi and it makes no difference. My assumption is that i will see less 4G when moving around as well... so either verizon puts in more towers, or makes the radio more reliable at lower signal strength

Same issues here as I have seen so far...Plus:

If I create an app shortcut for "GPS status and toolkit" on one of my home screens, it will not open the app. Instead it says "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone". The app is installed and opens fine from the main app list. This is new since the last update...I flashed the full RUU since I was on the leaked MR2.

My wifes phone keeps losing the mobile connection.

Horrible connection drops in strong 4G areas. My google chat continuously disconnects, and occasionally messages I send do not arrive.

I never had signal problems before the most recent update.

 

[Edwill86]

NONE!

texting locks up
5 times 3g dropped to 1 g
Gps says i am about 2 miles from my real location

If u are losing the mobile connection it might be something wrong with the radio and I would look into getting a replacement

Are you suggesting a hardware problem that only showed up after the latest software update? That doesn't make sense to me...

Thats what I was thinking that it may be a hardware problem and not software.

Before the update I used to be able to check my emails and have a cup of coffee before my GPS would get a lock. Now it get a lock almost instantly, I miss my coffee breaks.

Now that stinks...no more hidden coffee breaks...your GPS will give you away instantly !!!!

PSA: I called Verizon support twice today for this issue. The first time, they had me turn on Data Roaming in network settings. That didn't fix the issue, so the second time they offered to send me a new phone overnight.
