Date your phone was Manufactured Vs. Problems with phone

I have to ask because I had the same high pitched squeal and people unable to hear me but a factory reset 100% fixed it. Did you do the factory reset through the booted phone menus or in recovery? Did mine in recovery, wiped everything 2x and started from scratch.

I did it through the booted phone menus. Is doing it in recovery easy and/or recommended?

Thanks!

Only problem I have had was a couple of times I was unable to receive a phone call.. when I would answer the phone, all I would hear was a high-pitched squeal, and no one could hear me--- same thing would happen when I would try to call out.

A simple restart fixed it the two times it happened.. but it's been good for over a month now, so maybe it's fixed.

I had that happen to me the other day. It was the first and only time it happened. I pulled the battery out while it was on, booted it back up and it has worked great since. I think it was a Verizon issue because friends i talked to noticed their signal bouncing around in that area. The phones were 2 Moto Droids, Droid ERIS, Blackberry Tour, Incredible, and an Envy 3.

For me it went on for a good week before I wiped the device. Battery pulls would provide a temp fix.

Problems: Back panel squeaking*

* NOTE: I've had the phone since early May and today is the first day I noticed the squeaking. I have a 1500mAH battery that I've been using for about 2 weeks now and I just put the stock battery back in, so I'm thinking that's the cause. - the 1500 is a little thicker than the stock battery so I think the back panel gets bent ever-so-slightly and no longer fits properly with the stock battery in place.
