good to hear. i'm on my 4th refurb and i finally got a good one. the 3rd one i had was a joke. there is no way it should have gotten past quality control. it had an internal short or something that caused the battery to drain so fast that it went from 80% down to 20% within 30 minutes of activating the phone and when i plugged it in, it was draining faster than it could charge. after leaving it alone for half an hour on the charger, it went from 20% down to 8% and ended up dying on the charger and would not power back on. verizon tried telling me that it was the battery, but the battery was the same one i had in the other refurbs and it had no problems prior to that. verizon put in a spare battery they had, powered it on and told me the phone was fine and i just had to wait for a new battery to be shipped to me. i told them it wasn't the battery that was the problem, but they told me it was battery. i demanded that they put it on the charger and watch the battery percentage. after waiting about 20 minutes while the employee helped somebody else, sure enough, the phone had gone down 7 or 8%. they took it off the charger and within 5 minutes, it had dropped 25% and they finally agreed to ship me a new phone. that next one they sent me is the one that i am currently using.
the refurb i'm using now has a kickstand that does not sit flush and sticks out maybe 2mm (pretty significant) when it should be flush. i put a simple silicone case on it and now it doesn't bother me too much and i am keeping this phone, as it is the first one that i have gotten that functions as least close to how it should. it still had problems maintaining an internet connection and the bloatware apps killed the battery pretty fast, but once i rooted it, the internet issue is much better and my battery life has nearly doubled. btw, i am running liquid thunderbread 2.6 and i love it except it doesn't work too well with slacker radio for some reason.
i'm just glad i'm out of refurb hell. verizon (or HTC) really needs to pay a little more attention when sending out their "certified like new" phones.
