This image has no alt text

The Thunderbolt has been out since the 17th of March and enough users have it in their hands to uncover some unsettling issues. Before I go on, you should know that both HTC and Verizon have identified the respective issues and are working on fixes. First up � we hear some of you are still having data issues while on Verizon�s 3G network.

Word on the street is that Verizon�s already working to fix the issue with their network but we�re not sure how long it�ll take. Thankfully for us, the Android community consists of some very smart brainiacs and they�ve come up with a solution to get things back to normal. You can find instructions below. (Thankfully it doesn�t require root or a device factory reset.)

  • Go to the ThunderBolt�s phone dialer. Enter ##778# and hit Send.
  • You�ll get a pop-up labeled EPST, with the choice to �View Mode� or �Edit Mode.� You want �Edit Mode.�
  • You�ll be asked for a password. It�s 000000.
  • Now flip down to �Modem Settings,� and then choose �Rev. A.�
  • Change the setting from eHRPD to �Enable,� hit OK, then press the Menu button on the phone and tap �Commit Modifications.�

In other Thunderbolt news, it seems there�s a problem when recording video � audio will sometimes appear to be muffled when the original recording wasn�t captured with something covering the device�s microphone hole. HTC has identified the problem and is working on a fix but they were unable to offer a time-frame. Are any of you having these issues? [via Android Central 1|2]
