I'm not saying you should you do this but this is what I would do .Call t mob and tell them your having connectivity problems (dropped calls not getting texts ,low voices over incoming calls lots of echos so on and so forth) then ask to speak to customer loyalty, explain the "problems"and they'll probably send you a new phone.....just saying thats what I would do im not telling you to defraud yourself or t mobile
I have no clue if the new one would be hw locked at all

Yep and when new phones and plans start costing more and more, we'll know who to thank!
Seriously, why do you want to overclock your phone?

Hello, fellow GS2 users! I am in need of help. Unfortunatly, I am unable to call my wife's number anymore (which is a real shame). I am on Cognition 1.30, so I figured I'd restore to the previous cognition where things were fully functioning (1.20). Same thing. I'm not talking about the call going straight to voicemail, as it would do if the recieving end were turned off. When I make an attempt, I hear about a milisecond of the *call in progress* tone, but it then instantly disconnects. I can call other people just fine. It says 'call forwarding activated' or whatever, but it's always said that. Any tips / suggestions? Thanks!
Work out how you did it and post the info, you could make a fortune with this
I would pay

Maybe someone doesn't want to take your calls?..
I had same thing in that when I called my friend it would ring for a split second then cut off, he changed his rom and I was able to call no probs..so maybe it isn't your end that's the problem?!..
Did your wife activate call-forwarding on her phone ? Maybe she redirected all incoming calls to a non-existent number ?
Her phone is kinda wonky... its an x10. I need to put a new ROM on it.
It does sound like the problem is at her end. Check to see if she's accidentally black-listed you, or "accidentally" black-listed you

Try whistling. They are supposed to get you a sammich when that happens.
But yeah, on a serious note;
Try seeing if she's accidentally blacklisted you. And try seeing if the problem exists ONLY between your phones;
(Try calling another number from YOUR phone, try getting another number to call HER, try calling YOUR number from HER phone, and all other permutations and combinations until you get to know where the problem lies)
Thank you all. This thread has been awesome.
try checking if u had install any call blocker or droidwall that can blacklisted some numbers/id
if not do lemme know how you manage to do that so i can have good excuse not to call my wifey when i'm out with friends cycling !
I flashed a new ROM on her phone, which ended up fixing the issue, but a few days later, the same thing started happening.
Can you check whether your number is in her rejected number list?
I'd suggest checking if she blacklisted you.
Seriously, 39482049348 replies with the same suggestion and people are still replying saying the same . Including me, yay!
How does one go about checking that?
Hello guys,
some (dickhead) has taken it upon him/herself to call me 12 times over the last 12 hours, mostly in the middle of the night... and left 5 blank voice mail messages.
I want to block this person from calling me, but ORANGE UK say the SGS2 does not have this capability. Any of you know if the SGS2/android can do this?
Tx
Mark.
There should be a blacklist setting. Settings> Call> Call rejection> Blacklists. Hope this helps.

If you have his/her number then you can block it through the blacklist setting. If you do not have his number (ie anonymous caller) then you should file a complaint with the police. I don't know how the laws in your country operate but here the police and justice department have the power to get caller logs from the service providers so they can see who it is and then take action.
there's a root app that might help too - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
Thanks all you guys for your suggestions...
This morning the person called again, so I texted them to say I would call the police if they texted or called me once again. I also set the block on my phone and have not heard another peep from them... so am not sure it is the block or the threat of police that shut them up.
god what incredible idiots some people are!
Tx again,
Mark.
What I do when I get unwanted calls (marketing cr*p on the landline despite being registered with TPS...) is play some really weird music - I have *a lot* of really weird stuff but my absolute favourite for that purpose is Diamanda Galas "wild women with steak knives (the homocidal love song for solo scream)" guaranteed that they won't call again ... I suggest leaving the room while the track is playing.
Edit: before anyone who checks out that track thinks that I am a complete lunatic, I'd like to add that all of her music isn't quite like that...
I usually just breathe heavily down the phone at them.. or set up a scheduled SMS to send to them every 30 mins
I would never suggest or condone posting their number on public forums and letting the masses decide whether to anonymously call them or not. I have never done that with scammers that tried to rig my ebay auctions.
Hahaha that's a good one! Will keep this in mind

Strange usually when it's a blank caller they bar their number.
some cu*t done the same to me a few years back, every time the phone rang i cranked up the techno and put the phone to it, it did catch a few people out but whoever it was never rang agaib
who pranks people with their caller id on! would u prank on private!!
if someone pranks me at night ill prank than in the morning that sure will piss them off.

Fred, it was me! Heheheheheeeeee
I'm hoping it's something I'm missing in the set up or some minor other issue but after I finally got the DNA activated I made two calls.
Both calls were choppy on both ends of the call. This phone has gotten stellar reviews on reception quality. Volume and clarity.
I'm being told that the listener hears only bits and pieces of my voice and I hear the same from them.
All my other phones worked fine from my house where I made the calls.
Any thoughts on this from you guys on what might be happening?
Could something be defective on my DNA? Or does this sometimes happen with new out of the box phones?

Definitely sounds defective. Sound quality on mine is stellar!
I have to concur.... I've made about a dozen calls so far, and I have had no problems with quality at all.

If worse comes to worse (I'm hoping this is going to correct itself) can I return it to a local Verizon store for an exchange or do I have to ship it back to Verizon?
I'm going to try the store first on Friday (and I'd rather be shot then to do it on Black Friday).
Are you guys suggesting that this is probably a bad set?

I'm sure you can exchange in store even if you ordered online. Also, for what it's worth, my call quality has been very, very good. In fact, the clarity, at least on my end, has been noticeably better than the last couple phones I've had so if yours is really that bad when under ideal circumstances, that sounds like it might be a unique issue with your phone.

I don't want to leave this post without a follow up.
Yesterday when I (finally) activated my DNA: I then made two new voice calls.
As I stated above the calls were choppy and very bad on both ends.
I waited until this morning and made some more voice calls. Even from the same location.
All calls have been clear, audio R9, and more or less perfect.
I had forgotten that about five years ago also on a new cell phone: I had this same issue when activating and calling for the first time.
Nobody could hear me clearly and I could not hear them. The next day and forever after all was fine.
I am not a mobile device geek but I'm sure there is a deep dark explanation for this anomaly.
My son told me that I don't need to know what was happening yesterday but that today is what counts.
I still wonder.
The end result of this problem is that I did have a defective DNA device after all!
It did not fix itself, as I alluded to above.
The Verizon store gave me a new DNA and all is now good.
So.....for anyone interested, it is possible to receive a defective hardware (reception/radio/speaker/whatever) issue with this set.
At Verizon right now seeing if they give me an exchange on my DNA

Tell them that a new device should correct it. It did for me.
"Device type guys" might love the challenge of sitting around waiting for a future HTC update fix.
Just get a new set.....and walk away.
They wouldn't exchange it they couldn't get it to replicate the problem.

The problem is a fact!
Fortunately the employees at my store know me and know that I do not imagine issues.
A new DNA phone (for me) eliminated the problem.
When making calls you will hear the person you are speaking to clear as a bell.
But they are hearing your voice in the following manner:
1. Your voice fades in and out.
2. Some of your words are chopped out.
3. You sound to them like you are talking in a "tunnel".
Call Verizon and tell them that other buyers have successfully returned this set and the new one issued had no problems.
Get a new phone and don't settle for a HDC update.
Yes....some calls are fine. But I don't want "some" calls to be fine!
I want every call to be great on a new phone.

Yeah I told them other people were having call quality issues and were exchanging them. They told me if I could get it to do it again to bring it back so we'll see how it goes

I'm not having any issues at all with call quality, but I have noticed that my touchscreen isn't nearly as sensitive as my Rezound was. I am constantly getting missed letters when typing on keyboard or having to double tap 3 or 4 times before my screen zooms. I'm thinking this is also a hardware issue and will likely try to get it swapped out soon. Has anyone else had sensitivity problems?
I need help... I keep getting told that the phone quality on the other end is just terrible that the other person just cant hear me at all. (That I sound like im in a tunnel and far away from my phone) I need to figure out a way to record the proof so i can take it to a verizon and get an exchange. Can someone or anybody give me any suggestions? I need help really bad.
go under phone settings and make sure voice privacy or any other sound cancelling settings are not turned on. Those really screw up call quality for me.

The store turned off my "voice privacy". That did not fix the problem.
They gave me a new phone and it works flawlessly with excellent voice quality.

Tell the store you want a new phone! Call them from another location and speak to the manager. Ask him or her how well they can hear you.
My phone was so bad that every call I made the receiving party noticed it dramatically.
Send me a PM and I'll identify the store or you can ship the phone directly to Verizon within your 14 day period for a replacement set.
Your phone is defective and it's not going to change.

To me it almost seems like a distance thing. If I call people that are in the same house as me it seems to be working ok but for some reason making longer distance calls is where the problem is... I'm being told that I sound super muffeled and very distant. When I switch over to my speakerphone Mic they can hear me with no problem

Hi I have Z2 D6503 the European version and recently I realised I have a problem - when I speak with somebody the other person hears his worths like echo. It happens whith every call and various phones. Only the other person hears the echo, I dont hear it.
The phone is with the latest software. Hard reset doesn't fix it.
What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

does the other person struggle to hear you too ? i am sending my Z2 back for so say repair , because i am so frustrated about the amount of calls i make where the other person either gets feedback or just cant hear me . for a flagship phone i think this is such a lack of quality control on sonys side . thing is there are a lot of people with this problem .. so if they just replace the microphone for another .. i cant see how this will fix anything .

Just because there are 10people on xda with microphone issues, doesnt mean all devices are like that. I dont see your logic, you seem to ignore all these other thousand users who dont have this problem
The other person hears my voice clear but because of the echo cant understand me. I tested a Skype and Viber calls and there is no echo, so I can conclude this is a software problem.

well there is a lot more than Ten i can assure you ! when the phone first came out there were a lot of threads about the call quality ! my reasoning is that if it is a software issue ... then just replacing the microphone wont make any difference at all . and if its that the microphone itself, is just crap , changing it like for like wont help either !

well it was also interesting that i went into my local vodafone shop at the weekend as i needed a different size sim card for my daughters new phone . i was chatting to the lady that served us, and i mentioned to her the problems that i was having with the Z2 and the problems with the caller hearing sometimes .. and guess what ???? she had got the Z2 and she said she had had this issue at times too ! like i say its not every call .. but it is a large amount of them that this problem comes up. i certainly cant just wedge the phone under my chin and chat away like i could with my old galaxy S2 .. i have to be so careful how i hold this phone and keep the mic as close to my mouth as possible . and even then it wont always work. Not everybody that owns a Z2 will be members of XDA .. so its hard to asses how many handsets have this problem . but for me having to use this phone for work .. its not fit for purpose !

Not trying to bait you, I'm just saying, if you are on Vodafone, Vodafone rep on Vodafone, good chance that the complaints Vodafone hears are from Vodafone customers, your daughter is on Vodafone so you call people on the Vodafone network. There is more in common then the software.

I am assuming you are using normal Viber and Skype. If so, Viber and Skype are voice over IP not gsm!!!!
That's like saying 'tell me how a horse and a car are different, they both get me from a to b'
Gsm and IP work differently. You voice is transferred differently.

Please relax, this is obviously a SOFTWARE problem. Proof is, that this problem doesn't happen on calls on Skype and Viber. So hardware is just fine. I don't know if you know, but "phone" is an app aswell. So this is a problem with the phone's "Phone" application and most likely will be fixed in next update. There might be some other applications you've installed on your phone which might cause this problem aswell, also consider this.
Don't worry yourself.
