At least one of our card vendors believes it's a firmware and not an EEPROM setting issue (waiting to hear from the other). They're attempting to resolve it through Qualcomm. I have doubts there's going to be a resolution any time soon...

I assume you're referring the otp.bin firmware file? Is there a mapping of the OTP to EEPROM settings available?
