[Q] PLZ help, Getting replacment phone soon...

So I am having issues with my G2, the quality in calls is horrible, and been getting worse. (Voices on other end cutting in and out, but the other party can hear me just fine)
SO I called T Mobile, and they are sending me one free of charge(Bare-bones, just the phone, I keep my battery, sim, sdcard, etc)
MY QUESTION IS: Before I send my current G2 back to t mobile, should I put it back to main factory settings??? (I have visionary, gscript, setcpu, etc.) I don't want them to see that, and them be like you voided it, so now you have to pay for two phones.
So do I set it back to factory, and if so, how do I do that, so they don't know I rooted it? I'm sorry I tried searching the forums, and did not find anything.
Thank-you in advance for your help.

You may as well, just to be on the safe side. Plus, that way it'll erase all of your personal information from the phone before they receive it back.
Menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset

The issue you described sounds like a network issue, don't be surprised if it continues on the new G2.

Well the thing is, all of my tombile phones(G1, Cliq) ive had before this, the reception was fine. Also while Im on my G2, I have full bars, and the other end can hear me fine, they are just coming in bad.
Doesn't that sound like a speaker issue????

I also think it is a network issue. I'm having similar problems, more with data right now as I'm not making or getting very many calls on this new number. I'm on my 2nd G2 BTW

Same problems here. Waiting on IT'S update....

Sorry, but BUMP

Is the screen protector that came with the phone still on? It covers up the front speaker, I'm sure you figured that out...

The ear speaker is not centered on the phone i seam to hear better with the left corner of the phone to my ear hope this helps you with your new phone

I'm right there with you. I might try another replacement but I think I'm going to get the same thing. Going back to T-Mobile tomorrow and see how I feel.

[Q]SMS says sent successful but people aren't receiving them!?

Im on CM7 if that matters...but anyways, i've noticed since i got my evo, people haven't been responding to my texts. well i've asked a few people and it seems some people aren't receiving my texts. It's on and off so its hard to diagnose. anyone?

yeah , I am the same but i am not receiving them, well it's been on and off, I don't know, I change back to sense because of this....

did switching back to sense fix it?

This is a sprint problem!!! It does not matter what rom you run! Trust me...
I have had this happen a ton of times before i even rooted. Sprint texting = fail.

Has anybody found a fix for this? My texts go through but am not receiving any back.

Text message from the future.

Anyone getting text messages from the future while on roaming? Is there a solution to fix this little probelm? I'd rather not have to use a 3rd party messaging app. I like the stock one. I'm running SRF 1.1.0.

It means that when he gets a text, it says its from a time later in the day. If he gets a text at 2p.m. the phone says he got it at 6 or 7 p.m.Usually only happens while roaming, and its a Samsung mms.apk problem, if you flash the aosp messaging, it doesn't have that problem.

Even while roaming, I only got a slew of "future" txts when I was out of my hometown...although it was the same time zone :-/
OTOH, I remember when it was New Year's Eve/Day with my old Touch Pro a few years back, and I got txts from 1/1/2013. I rejoiced in telling everyone that the Mayans were wrong and we wouldn't all die in the end times. :-D

respond back to that text from the future and ask the person for the result of the Game 2 Mavs vs Heat game. I would like to make me a few bets if ya know what I mean. ;P

I used to get these on my iphone lol but they would be from YEARS in the future and would be empty. ****ed with me for a bit. Ive never heard of anyone having this issue or even heard of the issue itself before. I just figured the iphone was a piece of **** later on lol

I have this problem quite often because I'm roaming at work. It happened on my old Hero as well. There are some apps in the market that have seemed to work, though they seemed hacky last I tried, and resigned to just live with it. Just now a search on the market revealed http://market.android.com/details?id=com.mattprecious.smsfix , which looks pretty good. Haven't tried it.

I was about to post about this before I read the entire thread. I had this same problem from day one with my Epic at work because the signal at my cube for either side isn't that great and I flip between Sprint & roaming on Verizon constantly without using Roam Control to force it to stay on Verizon (which is what I typically do since Verizon's signal strength is a little better comparatively where I sit).
Anyway, I discovered the SMS Time Fix app months ago and have been using it ever since...and it works *almost* flawlessly. I still get the occasional text that somehow slips past the app's resident process, but about 98% of the time it works perfectly and adjusts the timestamp on incoming texts. So I definitely suggest grabbing that and using it for anyone with this problem.

Yeah it gets annoying trying follow a conversation when all the texts are out of order. Now if I could get her to text me the winning powerball numbers.
I'll check out the aosp messaging. Thanks for the tip.

I had a prompt to download an update today. I skipped cuz I'm still holding out for root on this update that I'm on. I'm not actually having issues other than I can't root...
sent from my 2.3.3 unrooted piece o ****....

I was also prompted for an update today, after just being prompted for the GB update the other day. I was hoping maybe they were being true to their word and unlocking the bootloader.
It was a rather lengthy update process with two reboots involved.

Not to sound like a douche, but I think it's pretty obvious that Sprint & HTC plan on releasing an update that would fix the problems presented with the GB update.

There was the 4.22 update,GB
Then the 4.24 update,GB fix,
Are you guys saying there is a 3rd update being pushed?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I'm wondering the same thing...I've already had two updates. I took both of them because I like my evolution stock, only reason I ever rooted my hero is because Sence made it sluggish.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using Tapatalk

at this point in time....i am not confident that we will have any sort of solution in the near future, we will simply have to deal with this horrible android version of gingershitbread, i never tought id hate the awsomeness that is an EVO , but currently...i kind of do, clearing user data, resetting,done it all, it still sucks arse and glitches half the dam time,its horrible, if id have known i would have stayed with stock 2.2 (not because of root but because it actually friggin functioned better)

I waited a couple weeks and did the rooted stock rom, 4.24
Have had no issues after a full week of use.

the more i think about it you think he said that just to shut me up and so the sprint forums dont get filled up with posts about it ??? I dunno; like the corp store told me; "as long as you can make and recieve calls there is nothing wrong with your handset"
IT suxx to be stock its like having a maseratti that only goes 55MPH

Does the Fascinate still suffer from Missed calls?

I am looking to get a Fascinate but im semi new to Smart Phones. Ive heard that the phone suffers from Missed calls all the time. Not sure if this is has been resolved or not but would like to know before grabbing one.

Mine does build date 9/10 Can repeat after 1 hour letting it sit Idle it will not ring
My sons build date of phone 3/11 I can not get his to miss calls
His is a great phone
At first I thought it was a software Only problem. But if that were tru than all phones would do it
My sons you can leave it sit unused over night and call it in the Moring and it rings
I can leave mine 1 hour and it will not ring
So I guess it depends on phone.Samsung is working to have fix released by end of month But you know how rumors go.
I paid 112.00 for a fascinate off eBay for my son and it was a great deal
Does not have the missed call bug
So if you get one make sure it is a newer build date

After moving to the ED09 radio my missed calls went away. Used it on ComRom 2.1 and now CM7.

I'm on ec09 & the latest cm7 & I still have it. Odined back to stock & took all the ota's to get back to ed04 & it was worse. Called vzw tier2 support & they gave me an option to go to a droidx2 or dinc2 because sending me another fassy probably wouldn't fix it. I've spent the last 3 days researching & visiting vzw stores to get a feel for what will work best for me. My point: it is a prevalent problem that spans more than one baseband or build or os platform.

Go to corporate store and ask about getting a Charge. They are doing that right now until they fix the missed call thing.

Tried that at 2 different ones but it was a no-go because the tier2 tech didn't list it in the notes. The last one said they'd only do 3g to 3g or 4g to 4g swaps.

I'm on the EC09 radio and I still get missed calls on occasion. It's really frustrating.

Um I've been getting a lot of missed calls and sms with EC09 a month ago but since I changed to ED04, I never had that problem. EC09 sucked ass for me.

I spoke to vzw today too and I'm getting a Droid incredible 2 sent in the next couple days. I will miss my fascinate but always nice to have something new.

I've been having the missed call thing too for a few weeks now too. Should I flash back to stock and bring it to the store? What exactly do I tell them? Or should I call tech support?

Haven't heard of the bringing it to the store option having much success, however you can call tech support and tell them about the missed call issue they should offer you a choice of some new phones. In that case yes you would have to reset it back to stock to send it back.

Taking it to the store was a huge waste of my time. The instore "tech support" (insert sarcasam here), suggested that the problem was to many apps installed...ya sure....
Called tech support and got offered the inc2 and x2, I suppose I could have pushed and tried for a charge but I wasn't feeling up to it. So I went with the inc2 since I've never tried an HTC phone and have heard of multiple issues with the x2.
Gonna miss my fascinate though.

Yeah don't you love how theybtry to blame apps and other things on the missed call issue. Especially when its a known issue. The tech person I spoke to.on the phone said my missed call issue was because I have google voice!?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk

I've had a few missed calls but they are on my Google Voice number so I'm not sure if I can blame the phone, but then again nobody calls me on my actual number so I'm going to have to pay closer attention. I just upgraded to a EC09 ROM so we shall see.

I actually got theM To swap me to a Droid charge. Niice and my boss won't chew my ass for missing his calls.

Here.
good day.

Well, this is annoying..I had the missed call problems like crazy...EA28 modem seemed to help..rarely had any..then the phones modem crapped out(no 3g)...called for a replacement..its my first replacement, so they refused to offer me a different model...
The "Like New" replacement they sent me is newer hardware version(11.something) and defiantly gets better speeds and stronger signal..But what bugs me is that I had to pay full retail price for a new fascinate in February since my old phone(a dump Samsung Rouge) crapped out on me and it was way before my upgrade came up...then I bought and 3000mah extended battery for $80...I originally tried to buy the "Certified pre-owned" Fascinate for $50 on their website, but they couldn't get it to go through, only if I were a new customer setting up a new account..so I bought the new model...now I am stuck with a Re-furbished phone...well -as long as it works properly...guess it works out regardless...as long as I don't start receiving missed calls..

I use Google Voice...(who can stand paying Verizon for their Visual Voice-mail crap)..
The only way I knew when the phone would be missing calls and was not reachable..is when Google Voice alerted me to new Voice-mails..I also have Google Voice set to send e-mail notifications to my home e-mail..I could also try calling out from the phone and it would just hang and not dial...definitely had some people mad at me for not "answering the phone" when I was supposed to be available..I was wondering what was taking them so long....so annoying when it happens and having to take the take to reboot and catch up...
I did try disabling Google Voice once..then they only way I knew the phone wasn't ringing is to check Google Voice on my laptop or e-mail...
