. I have the same issue you are. This is the only issue I've noticed with the phone. The thing is I love to use the speaker function and browse while talking to wife and on lunch.

Yeah it only seems to be related to the Google now search. Don't use Google now and everything works great, weird!

When I'm on a call and using speaker phone, if I use the search bar I automatically loose speaker phone. Its really annoying when I'm trying to use the phone to search when talking. If I use the standard browser its all good.

It may be because Now can use the mic for voice search. It wouldn't be able to use voice search and speaker at the same time, so it would disable the speaker just in case.

1) Was multitasking, a phone call and looking up something online, when someone texted me.....the phone froze up on me. Took several pushes of the power button to get it to allow me to reboot. First couple of pushes just showed me the same frozen screen.

2) Just started getting the wifi on/off on/off thing. Mine is set to auto already unlike previous poster who was on 2.4 only

3) I uploaded video to google drive. Replayed it at home, it looks like crap. On the phone it looks great, drive is almost unwatchable.

4) Speakerphone is very weak... almost unuseable. The TBolts speakerphone is of much higher volume.

I am on my third DNA.

First one wouldn't Qi charge. The second would pop up SIM read errors every few hours and drop service. Third has been good for a couple days.

Bad luck there. Hopefully the 3rd is the charm. Havent tried the QI yet and ive been lucky enough not to have the SIM issues.

Knock on wood haha

The SIM card error just happened to me this morning. I just removed and reinstalled the sim and it hasn't happened since.

Having issues with the wallpaper scroll function with Nova Launcher. For some reason, the wall paper stopped scrolling when swiping to different home screens.

I've read in other threads this is a limitation from HTC. Luckily Nova has a workaround that I've found works: Nova settings > Desktop > Wallpaper Scrolling > Force. Should work like a charm

I've had mine for 2 months now and can honestly say I've had zero problems that I can think of. Battery life has been great, way better than I expected, and I've probably only rebooted the phone once or twice. There was an issue with battery drainage due to location settings in Latitude which was easily fixed. Slacker works fine for me.

This is like a therapy session for DNA owners, love this thread. I've had the.....

1. non focusing video recorder problem (not aware of a fix and hope an update is published soon).

2. recently the SIM card problem (seemingly easy fix with pop out and reinsert).

3. horrible Bluetooth quality on both headsets and hands-free link vehicle connection. Connections ocurr but voice quality is unusable for business conversations (not aware of a fix here either, so hopefully a software update will fix).

4. Odd camera problem has ocurred a few times where I was in camera app, hit the switch-app button (lower right hot key on DNA) in attempt to switch to another running app, and screen went blank. Couldn't shut down phone. Haptic buttons still functional but couldn't see screen. Left it alone and screen eventually came back up. Very odd.

5. And more of a complaint than a problem: the keyboard sucks imo. Back to swiftkey perhaps.

i plugged in headphones during a phone cal and the call would get disconnected after a few seconds. once i unplugged, stopped happening.

also, i dunno if this is because of my diztronic case, but whenever im on the phone, the person on the other end says it seems like im really far away. i guess my voice doesn't like to travel to that little hole on the bottom of the phone.

Working fine for me. Have something like 600 songs. Try using HTC sync manager for your music. After you install it on your computer itll auto load your music into it. Plug in your phone and go to sync settings and tell it to add music to your phone.

The only big problem I'm having is with the Mobile Hotspot / Tethering

While tethered to my iPad or iPod the LTE is very slow to not existent, LTE works fine on the phone itself, but my iPad for some reason has problem staying connected. It will show the Wifi icon, and my phone will show that the iPad is tethered, but when I'm using the browser it just sits and hourglasses, while the DNA shows no data movement.

I was about to get the phone replaced, when I read on DroidLife that this is known issue with the DNA and the native Verizon Tethering App. Hope they fix it soon.
