Help goin on my 3rd vibrant

i have never ever tried rooting or puting a rom on my phone, i have never downloaded anything other then just apps on my phone... but the first one i had messed up to where it would instantly shut off everytime the backlight would timeout... couldnt do anything unless u just turn phone on and KEPT the backlight on...

second one i got (current one) would turn on very very quickly, would not prepare the mass storage crap on internal and external SD cards, and lags hardcore... you have about 20 seconds on the phone until it tells you to forceclose things that are required to run the phone.. once u forceclose the program, the screen goes blank and the buttom four buttons stay lit up, but you cant do anything unless you take battery out, it also massivly kills the battery...

i just now ordered a 3rd vibrant from using warranty exchange

anyone have any ideas, or troubleshooting why my phone is doing this?

Don't know about the second one, but the first one I'm pretty certain you can set the screen timeout time. By default it shuts off really fast. I set mines to 2 minutes.
