Date your phone was Manufactured Vs. Problems with phone

Manufacture Date: 4/10/10
Received Date: 4/29/10 (launch day)
Life Counter: 1033
Life Timer: 73 hrs 57 min 13 sec ** Have not dropped a single call yet **

Minor issues include:

- I believe I caused a problem by deleting too much from my SD Card a couple of weeks after I got the phone causing the people app to hang when opening. Hard reset fixed this issue.

- After dialing a call, the screen goes black very quickly and is difficult to get it to come back on. Frequently requires multiple pushes of the power button. This is only an issue when I need to use the speaker phone as I can't hit the button fast enough sometimes.

4/26...no problems


Scratch that.....maybe anyways....up to you.

We have been having rebooting issues. Thought it was our network extender. Unplugged it and we were doing good. Started rebooting again though. I'm still convinced it's an area thing though because it only reboots in our house. No where else.

So I guess it's up to you if you want to consider our two droids as working good or having problems due to rebooting at home only.

HTC music widget working sporadically and everyonce in a while loses album art
Camera freeze everyonce in while
HTC photo frame widget (not reconizing pictures on SD card)

Getting "new" not reburbished one from VZW soon will report on that device when it arrives and have time with it.

Done 4 Hard Resets and problems still occur
-Call Quality Issues/Voice fades in and out sounding muffled
-Phone Freezes
-Randomly reboots in low signal areas
-Camera will close after several pictures and open Pandora
-Pandora will sometimes start playing after a text (using Handcent)
-Stock Browser freezes the entire phone up
-Stock Messages force closes a lot (which is why I'm using Handcent)
-Sometimes when you try and change the background, it will force close repeatedly in a continual loop until you pull the battery

Problem with geolocation, quite often my Indredible shows Dali, China from my home in Monterrey, Mexico. I wish someone would come up with a fix for this. I've tried all the numerous tips and none have been unsuccessful. Other than that, I love my phone.

I know that this question and my answer are off topic... and hopefully a moderator will move it to a better home.

Try the App "GPS Status" I am using the free one...It shows the GPS satelites by numbers on a polar grid and your lat/longitude and compass. Recommended... -Bob O

A couple of dead pixels in upper right hand corner that are rarely visible.
*****
Manager at Verizon said he would give me a new phone when a new shipment comes in.
Hope he keeps his word. Apparently when I bought mine last month it was one of the last ones in Tampa Bay. He had to drive to another store to get it.
I have a friend who used to work at that store and told me to call and ask for the manager.
When I called he said they were out of DINCS. After I used my friend's name, he put me on hold and when he came back on the phone he told me he could get me one.
