Well my HD freaked out last night. Doing the strangest things.
At dinner, the phone would not wake up, or so I thought. In reality the screen would not light up. I can get it to occasionally light up but then it almost immediately goes dark. Now I of course tried a hard restart (virtual battery pull) ... no help, tried just turning it off and back on ... no help. (Hard to do with a screen that will not stay on reliably let me tell you) But during this process I realized that the phone itself, and the touch screen, still function fine when the screen is dark??? So I went home, hooked it up via HDMI to the TV and again, it functions correctly but the screen is still iffy on being lit up, but I can still scroll through the screens using the TV to see where I am going. CRAZY. But it gets better. This morning I put it in the car dock, just to see what it would do, an the screen works fine in the car dock???
Any ideas from what few of us are left using this phone? I did call AT&T last night and since it's under warranty they are sending me a refurb, but if I can get this one back from the dead I'd much prefer that. Any hope or is this a serious affliction?
Thanks all.
