Anyone have these issues with whatever craptastic stock software motorola put on this thing:

All sounds are down extremely low when phone is in sleep mode:
Alarm / Ringer / Notifications etc... I miss so many calls. I've looked for every setting, changed ringer, etc. etc. I can hear the phone physically vibrating over the sounds, as soon as I turn the screen on the sound jumps back up to normal volume. (at least what is normal for the D3)

GPS will randomly (alot after reboots) not turn on:
I have to go into the GPS settings, turn it off then back on again and accepting whatever that thing is that pops up is. (google maps is only app I use with GPS, seems to happen alot, especially after a reboot)

Random txt messages automatically not being sent:
I have signal and I am not on a call. I have to delete message completely and copy paste it into new txt. Happens maybe 1 in 30 txt messages?


Really just the low sounds and the speaker generally sucking are my two biggest gripes. Just wanted to see if anyone else had some crappy issues with it. Guess I'm spoiled from OG droid custom ROMs. This thing will be sick once all this crap is taken out of it.

Side note, why does this phone require you to do that? I can no longer use my SwitchPro widget to turn GPS on/off. Clicking the icon on it takes me to the GPS settings, then I have to click it again, and then click accept.
It's quite annoying.

My main issue has to do with wifi. A lot of times it connects then disconnects. Then if I do connect it runs really slow. Also the market and other apps that use internet don't work when connected to wifi. Ill give this phone another week. I'll call customer suppport to see if they can solve my issues. If not I'm going back to my OG dinc.

I've had some issues with wifi as well. Usually I connect to wifi, give it 5 minutes and its fine. If I try to connect with browser, market, almost anything right after turning on wifi it won't do squat.

I've even checked my router to make sure its connected and got an ip address. Seems to take a bit to switch from 3G to wifi? I dunno.
