This fix addresses the problem when an application forces a data connection during a voice call - ending that voice call. I suppose I could have been more descriptive in the post title. :) Jacqueline, I don’t believe that it’s related to general call dropping problems.

I don't know if there is much to do other than reset the phone. Here are the two things I'd try: <ul> <li>Shut the phone down, take out the battery for about 5 minutes, put it back in and power up - see what happens.</li> <li>Perform a "hard" reset (instructions are in the manual) on the phone. Be aware that this will erase any contact, calendar/meeting, and other data that you may have saved in the phone (pictures, music, voice notes, etc...)</li> </ul> Other than this, I'd get on the line with tech support and see what they can help with. If the phone is under warranty they should be able to replace it. Hope you find the solution! Regards, Rick Hi Eman! I don’t know if there is much to do other than reset the phone.

I tried to tell them about this posting and the problem with 2.26 ROM, but they refused to even look at the article because its considered "3rd party troubleshooting". The tech rep then went on to state that they only acknowledge "Known Issues" from the manufacturer. In other words, if HTC doesn't tell them about the problem, it doesn't exist. Nice.
