I don't know why people who have the microphone issue haven't demanded at&t to fix it, or boycott in protest and switch to a smaller/another carrier. For those that don't have a choice, I feel you.
But if I did have a choice and there was another carrier and mind didn't listen at all, you bet your blow torch I would switch and arrange something of a rally.09-12-12 02:45 PM - There's nothing to say to AT&T because these are OS updates for other carriers. AT&T will tell you to use theirs which is still 7.0 (despite most others being on 7.1). Historically AT&T is the last one to update their software (IF they even bother to do so...). I remember when ATT's OS for the Bold 9000 was 4.6 for about 2 years after everyone else was at 5.0 before they released it. AT&T sucks.

When the replacment started in the with the same sh*t I did a search on the net and found out it's certain OS's and AT&T Bold 9900s. So far (for me) it's anything after .391 that screws up the mic. I just reloaded .391 and I'll be good to go

If you leave, they call it "churn". Churn has been part of the mobile market ever since there was a mobile market. It hasn't resulted in service providers stepping up their game and addressing the issues that off their customers yet, so I wouldn't expect that it ever will in the future.I don't know why people who have the microphone issue haven't demanded at&t to fix it, or boycott in protest and switch to a smaller/another carrier.

It should say something how long this has been going on (try google..), the number of different posts of users that have this issue, how it's narrowed down to ATT bolds, how it's further narrowed down to OS systems. Coming in here after a years worth of posts examining this problem with an answer like "just take out the battery and reboot it, that should fix it" is almost insulting.With the mic issue, take the batt out and reboot it. Should fix it.
For the rest of us I've downgraded to .391 and my mic issues have disappeared. OS's I've tried and their results:
No mic issues with any of these builds:
7.0...440
7.0...576
No mic issues with any of these 3 builds
7.1...284
7.1...318
7.1...391
Mic issues persist with the following builds:
7.1...402
7.1...437
7.1...569
It's pretty steady in that anything after .3xx will affect the mic. ATT sucks big time09-20-12 02:05 PM
