HTC DINC2 reception fix in the works?

[Drunder40]

So Verizon says HTC is aware of the reception problem and is testing/working on a fix (See link):

HTC INCREDIBLE RECEPTION PROBLEM? - Page 5 - Verizon Wireless Community

Anyone heard anything new on this.. Just curious..

Thanks for the update and link. This will keep it on my radar.

I think the best solution would be a new battery door with a better antenna.

I know this is off-topic for this thread but I find the above utterly bizarre as it applies to the problem of the disappearing HTC Clock app. I've lost count of the number messages (6 pages and counting) in that thread and still nothing from HTC.

I'm not holding my breath waiting for HTC to come up with an antenna fix.

I am *shocked* that no aftermarket company has manufactured a replacement battery door with a better antenna. I can't imagine many Inc2 owners not shelling out ~$20 for better reception.

Yeah, VZW's last response was on 8/19. I don't see a fix coming out any time soon. Although my signal indicator is usually only 1 or 2 bars I have yet to have any dropped calls. Also rarely do I go from 3G to 1x.
