ever since applying the new update for the ringtone assignment, my wife and i have both been having issues on the phone. it does indeed fix the custom ringtones, but other strange things are starting to happen.

 

1) wifi icon showing grayed out when in range and saying it is connected, continues to use 3g instead.

2) unable to place phone calls, press call and nothing happens.

3) no audio on either end when answering a call

4) network signal info shows ehrpd, but shows data as "unknown"

 

#4 has been the case every time one of the others have happened.

 

a reboot fixes each one of them, and then sense asks to send a bug report.

 

has anyone else had these problems? we are both running stock evo lte devices.

 

is there way to uninstall that update?

Weird.. The update doesn't even touch some of those functions. But then you and your wife are having the same issue. It's just an update to the phone apk. That's why it is so small.

 

I have the update and haven't had any issues. Only thing I have noticed happening more is the 3G connection falling on its face requiring a reboot. But I just think that's my screwed up tower downtown. It used to do it very often when I was on the initial release from launch day.

i actually had the problem the same day, but i installed the patch in the morning. my wife had the problem the next afternoon after installing it the night before. i cant imagine why that update would case a problem, but its too much of a coincidence that it started happening right after the patch was installed.

 

you mentioned the 3g falling on its face. thats one of the symptoms i am having. the network signal info app normally would show data connectivity info on the screen like "wifi is connected", "upload/download", etc. at least a couple of times i have had the problem, that field is showing "unknown", even though the wifi is on. data isnt working at all at that point, and evidently voice is borked too.

 

do you know if this can be uninstalled? ill do without the personalized ringtones if i can actually make/receive calls.

I have noticed the same thing although my big issue has been random reboots. Then this morning the phone starts the reboot loop where it wont load past the splash screen. Looks like another hard reset in my future.

I've actually started having a ton of problems with the patch that they did.

 

To me there are two main problems: 1. Being that when I try to answer a call from the lock screen, I'll drag the phone icon to the circle, and instead of answering the call. I have to answer the call again from the call screen when the phone is unlocked. 2. It has really messed up with my text messaging, there are times that messages wont send. I'll do a PRL and Profile update, but that doesn't work. I have to reboot the phone for messages to send. It happens about once a day.

I downloaded the patch, but have not assigned any ringtones to my contacts. I have not had any of the problems listed. I will assign some ringtones and see if it makes a difference..

I experienced the same problem. Contacted Sprint, only thing that would clear the problem completely was a factory reset, now the contact ringers don't work again, and checking updates for the contact assigment comes up with nothing...any suggestions??

Im not sure i would want to put it back. im considering the reset to get rid of the update, but it is such a pain to get everything back the way it was. i went 2 days without an issue, then bam. couldnt answer a call. then i couldnt call them back. reboot... crash report... :angry:

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By PedroDaGr8 · Posted

      Since this is kind of the general chat thread, I have to share this humorous story (at least it is to me): Since around February/March of this year, my S22U has been an absolute pain to charge. USB-C cables would immediately fall out and it progressively got worse and worse until it often took me a number of minutes to get the angle of the cable juuuussst right to get charging to occur at all (not exaggerating). The connection was so weak that even walking heavily could cause the cable to disconnect. I tried cleaning out the port with a stable, a paperclip, etc. Some dust/lint/dirt came out but the connection didn't improve one bit. Needless to say, this was a MONSTER headache and had me hating this phone. I just didn't have the finances right now for a replacement.  Which brings us to the night before last. I am angry as hell because I had spent five minutes trying to get this phone to charge and failed. I am looking in the port and I notice it doesn't look right. The walls look rough and, using a staple, the back and walls feel REALLY rough and very hard. I get some lint/dust out with the staple and it improves charging in the sense I can get it to charge but it doesn't remove any of the hard stuff. It's late and it's charging, so that's enough for now. I decide it's time to see if that hard stuff is part of the connector or not. More aggressive methods are needed! I work in a biochem lab and we have a lot of different sizes of disposable needles available. So, yesterday morning, while in the lab I grab a few different sizes of needles between 26AWG and 31 AWG. When I got home, I got to work and start probing the connector with the 26 AWG and 31 AWG needle. The stuff feels extremely hard, almost like it was part of the connector, but a bit does break off. Under examination of the bit, it's almost sandy with dust/lint embedded in it. It's not part of the connector but instead some sort of rock-hard crap! That's when I remember that I had done some rock hounding at the end of last year and in January. This involved lots of digging in very sandy/dusty soils; soils which bare more than a passing resemblance to the crap in the connector. We have our answer, this debris is basically compacted/cemented rock dust. Over time, moisture in the area combined with the compression from inserting the USB-C connector had turned it into cement. I start going nuts chiseling away at it with the 26 AWG needle. After about 5-10 minutes of constant chiseling and scraping with the 26AWG and 31AWG needles, I see the first signs of metal at the back of the connector. So it is metal around the outsides! Another 5 minutes of work and I have scraped away pretty much all of the crap in the connector. A few finishing passes with the 31AWG needle, a blast of compressed air, and it is time to see if this helped any. I plug my regular USB-C cable and holy crap it clicks into place; it hasn't done that since February! I pick up the phone and the cable has actually latched! The connector works pretty much like it did over a year ago, it's almost like having a brand new phone!

      That's odd, they are usually almost lock step with TMO. I forgot to mention this also includes the September Security Update.
