Can I revert to a previous "carrier update" on my 6+? things are worse since updating.

I can't say for sure the carrier update caused the problem but the timing fits.

My phone has worse reception after the carrier update a few weeks ago. Can I "downgrade" to the old one? Seriously, I have fewer bars in the same areas as before and I now often have people say they have a hard time hearing me like there is a bad a connection. This never happened before the carrier update and now it happens fairly frequently.

I should also mention that I have tried several types of resets including network reset and clean wipe and reinstall ofthe phone. still have the 18.1 carrier settings though. still often have a bad connection where it used to be good.

Not if you want to keep your warranty. In other words, no you cannot go back.

robble808

and what if I cared more about my phone having good reception more than a

warranty?

Then I could not tell you anything else according to forum rules. And, if that's the case, and you didn't already know, then you should probably not try.

tried to send pm. said i could not unless you follow me

Snn5

Yes, and I believe you'd ask me how to do the unmentionable things, for which I cannot do.

robble808

I'd never ask anyone to break the rules while on a forum...

It's a process that could potentially leave you with an expensive brick...'nuff said.

I doubt bricking is why verizon has a chokehold on firmware. bricks mean more sales.

Loquat

It's not that VZW even cares about you bricking your phone...I was referring to the process that you may need to take to roll your phone back that could potentially leave you with an expensive brick...

OK, Verizon, whatcha gonna do? The unofficial way is "too dangerous" and prohibited. You haven't given us an official way to roll it back. I think it's time you came out with 18.2 to fix the issues you introduced with 18.1 Even if 18.2 is EXACTLY the same as the one prior to 18.1 it'll be fine.

I did some searching and it appears there are many people that the last update messed with. Come on now and fix it. Get your customers happy again. Or perhaps you can't hear us now?

Have you been into a Verizon store for service on the phone?

next stop would be an Apple Store.
