Verizon screeching during calls fixed? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a LG G2 on launch day and loved it except the screeching during voice calls. I had it swapped several times until it was realized that it was a software issue. My friends exchanged their G2s for the same issue. My question is, has this been fixed already or is the update rolling out today meant to fix this issue? Thanks.

That's definitely not a software issue. I've not had a single issue with my g2. To me that sounds like hardware. Easiest way to find out: download stock unrooted Rom in verizon development section, flash it and then test. If you're rooted just download the rooted stock Rom and flash as usual in custom recovery. If it's software a clean flash should do the trick. I'd be surprised if it wasn't hardware related though.

Nah, it was software. I did flash quite a few ROMs and it didn't help. I had the same issue on my Note 3 and a software update from Verizon fixed it. I'm just curious if they've fixed it for the G2 yet.

Yes, if you are stock, unrooted, take the update. If you are rooted, flash one of the new radios / modems for Verizon here:

I flashed the 12B version and everything has been perfect since.

I was leaning towards software bc I haven't experienced any of those screeching issues. If it was software one would think it would effect more ppl. Glad the update got you squared away.
I'm waiting for a rooted zip of the ota.

Got it on 12B, but only during a 4G to 3G switch, then dropped call. Coverage inn my house is spotty. Otherwise, sounds great.

Had it on my gnex and sounds the same on my g2. Definitely a Verizon thing.

I didn't notice anything of the sort on my Gnex or G2 on Verizon. Towers maybe?

Happens only on very low signal /4G to 3G switch to me. ^
Normal really.

Perhaps the problem is with ota build. Most here are rooted with custom rom. Are you by chance running a custom rom or the stock one that was sent over the air?

phone is default updated OTA
Then perhaps you can root and install a custom rom. It seems to me when I download a custom rom ota, its more likely to be corrupt. If its stock you want, it's available here. Better yet you might try Pete's Bugless Beast- stock with some additional enhancements. That way you get the stock a stock experience ... but better

It was the other way round for me, I've only had the rebooting issue on my 9023 when I was using a couple of different cm roms, and it went away when I went back to stock. Have tried some other non cm roms, but not for long enough to show any effects.
No reboot, fortunately
That's an issue with 2.3.1, just update to 2.3.4 ota and it should be gone

The CM reboots and sod are know bugs for CM and many have reported the problem stems from the flashing alternative kernel. I've been on GLADOS CFS @ 1.4 for several days now and have had absolutely no problems.

I've never had any random reboots on my NS4G...nor have I even heard of this being an issue with the NS line, at all. I've been flashing new roms/kernels like crazy for the last 3 months I've been using this phone...the longets I think I've gone without a single flash is probably 4 days....and I've never had a single hardware issue of any kind These phones seem really rock-solid to me!!
They've turned a Samsung hater into a Samsung fan overnight!!! I'd buy a GN in a heartbeat if I hadn't JUST bought my NS4G lol

Is it worth updating Nexus 4?

Hi guys, I just bought my nexus 4. I'm really hesitant in updating because I also own a nexus 7 and when I updated that, my tablet was just flawed from left to right so I ended up downgrading it back to 4.1.2. Also, I hear that there is a way to enable LTE, but that with the new update the LTE function goes away? I would really appreciate to hear you guys' opinions. Thanks!

I updated my Gnex and my Nexus 7 but i won't update my Nexus 4, i wanna keep my lte connection, it's up to you, if you don't need lte go ahead and update.
Sent from my Nexus 4
Even if you do update to the latest you can still flash a different radio which will give you the option to use lte.
Oh ok just wanted to make sure that I wouldn't lose the LTE option. Does the new update have any flaws? Or are u happy with the new update and what are the differences between 4.2.1 and 4.2.2?

I think a lot of us are on the 4.2.2 update. Those who didn't update are of course on 4.2.1 because they want their LTE. I would like to a say a majority of the members are on 4.2.2.
Some folks are still having Bluetooth and WiFi issues. Problems like the difficulty of connecting to their device and the same for WiFi. This is plaguing some users but not all. Just a small percentage. On my end everything is working fine. It's just weird to hear others are having these problems. I never have any issues with my devices. If you want to update to 4.2.2, I strongly suggest you do a super clean install/update.

Oh ok well it's good to hear that there isn't as many problems with the update as there was with the nexus 7. But I am a bit hesitant because I'm on T-Mobile and I hear that they are about to get LTE in my area. I live in Los Angeles.

Lol. I live in NY and I think LTE is available on T-Mobile here as well.
If you want to use LTE, then don't update yet. If 4.2.1 is working fine don't update it.

I couldn't find the 4.2.1 rom on the google website that's why. They only have the 4.2.2 rom.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
4.2.2 has been better for battery life, at least for me. You should update it. And for LTE you can flash old radio, but might not work with the latest versions of certain ROMs, so do your research on that. I believe you can just do a nandroid for 4.2.1 (not 100% on this)

Yeah thanks for the advice, and your right about the battery life because I feel that considering that the nexus 4 has a 2100mah battery the battery doesn't last long enough. If I can do a nandroid backup then it would be awesome. I'm pretty new to the nexus 4 scene, so I appreciate everyone's help thus far.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
anyone have a link to the 4.2.1 stock ROM. i think my speaker for my phone has gotten lower with the 4.2.2 update and i want to downgrade it.
http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-4/occam/
It's the third one down the list on the "images". Use 7zip to unpack the files and flash away!
EDIT: There is the option to have 4.2.2 with the 33 baseband to retain the LTE, however that has caused problems for people so the only official way to make it work with LTE is to flash 4.2.1 with the 33 base.

Circle of death?

Anyone experience this yet? I've gotten it twice now. I'm completely stock rooted with twrp recovery so I don't understand why it's happened. I thought the dreaded circle was kernel related. Ps. I'm also running xposed framework.

It looks like this minus the bars. What it boils down to is no data no network. absolutely no connection of any kind. It was a big issue on my e4gt for awhile before it was discovered as a kernel related issue then eventually solved.
Or so I thought.

I would say you are in a bad area for signal. Or Network Vision is being worked on in your area, which is a good thing. I've never seen that happen on my phone unless I update the prl and profile. Never saw it on my S3 either.

If your network was unstable you wouldnt be able to get any signal at all but it wouldnt make your phone reboot. Have you tried factory reseting your phone??

Dude you ain't the only one. The MF9 update has been a major pain the @$$ for a lottt of people. I wonder if Sprint is working on a new update. Hopefully push it out before the end of September. Although I am really liking MF9, I am probably in the minority. My device is smooth as hell and great battery life. Just yesterday I went 20hrs with 3hrs of on screen time!
Im having a similar problem. Random reboots when data is connected. I first thought it was the connection in my area that was causing the problem to (NV just started in Cleveland) until I encountered reboots while on WiFi. It doesn't matter what app I'm using as long is it uses the internet connection my phone may freeze vibrate two to three times then reboot. I even reapplied the MF9 update and the same problem exist.
I'm completely stock!
Thank You Based God!

Data slowed down for no reason

I am running Nougat on Verizon, am rooted and my data has slowed to a crawl. I have tried a clean install with a stock rom both rooted and non rooted, tried with a custom rom both rooted and non rooted and my data is still slower than ever. I am nowhere near my data limit and have called Verizon and nothing seems wrong on their end. I live in an area where LTE gets great reception. This is driving me nuts. Does anyone have any ideas?
