I've had this phone almost a year. It was a christmas gift, bought over a year ago now. Yes, it has been dropped a little 10-20 times. A couple on the wood floor and the rest on carpet. I text quite a lot and use the music often. I do love this phone but I have been having issues the past 3 months. They started out small and kept occuring and getting bigger. This phone pretty much has to last me to next year.
Here are the issues I am having...
1: it goes through the contact or all calls list entirely on its own and calls random people.
2: the bottom and left side of the wheel board are no longer working..the bottom went out before the left side. The left side makes the subscreen ripple when touched now.
3: The right touch screendash has stopped working and the backspace one is very hard to get to work.
4: The talk button and the buttons around it get stuck and have to be picked out with a thin flathead screwdriver. This stops the random calling. I use t9word and unless the talk and other buttons are picked out, it will "write texts for me" when I start a new one. Jibberish of course. I have to take the battery out before I do my temporary fix.
5: the speakerphone button now alternately controls the bottom, top, and left wheel buttons. It also is, I think, part of the culprit in random calling.
6: when the phone is opened, the screen with music, xm mobile radio, buy ringtones, and ringers, on it pops up instantly.
7: the sd card is not always read and the phone will have to be turned off to get it to read it.
I have not taken this into our local alltel/verison shop yet. I'm afraid my phone is too old for warranty repair and I honestly do not have the money to pay for another.
Any cheap fixes/known causes? |
