I'm getting so fed up with this phone I'm ready to give up. The problem I'm having with my Moment (other than the variety of stability issues) is unstable/unreliable reception. Let me explain:
Whenever I'm driving through an area with good coverage and using Pandora my reception switches to 1xrtt and I can't get it to switch back to EVDO unless I place the phone in Airplane mode, then take it back out of Airplane mode. I also have the issue when sitting stagnant and trying to use data (for Pandora, using the browser, Facebook, etc.). I had this problem with my last Moment too, and my wife doesn't seem to be having the same problem with her Palm Pre (although she does get the "too many cards" error).
The reason I'm ready to give up is I spoke with a Sprint representative on their website and inquired about the $10 premium data fee. Apparently, if I'm sent a replacement (even if it's a Moment) I will be charged the $10/month premium data fee. So why bother?
Is anybody else having these reception issues with their Moment? I tried rooting and ultimately grew tired of it (Radioactive Froyo 2.0pre3); I had the same issues and revert to the most current stock ROM (runs about the same). Has anybody who had these issues remedied them? I'm thinking of buying an Evo Shift...
