Things my phone does:
1: Touch screen goes crazy. Imagine opening Paint and trying to poke the screen to make one single dot. Now imagine that dot, instead of looking like a dot, looks like a GIGANTIC HAIRBALL. Oh, and it was drawn a half inch from where your finger was actually touching the screen. This will happen for as much as an entire day, rendering the entire phone useless.
2: It turns itself off, several times per week.
3: It reboots itself, at least once a day.
4: When you hit "send" on a text message, sometimes it takes upwards of 30-45 seconds (frequently even longer) for the message to actually appear in the conversation list and start sending.
5: Relatedly, if you attempt to start typing a new message before the one you just sent has actually re-appeared, the entire SMS app will freeze, then crash entirely. Or sometimes it will just freeze the whole phone. This makes SMS conversations slow and difficult.
6: Orrrr....sometimes the phone will just simply freeze for no reason at all.
7: Oh, and for a while there, I was getting about 3 hours per charge. Even if I didn't touch the phone at all after pulling it off of the charger. I would go cook dinner and come back 20 minutes later to a half dead battery.
I battery pull about 400 times a day.
I seriously want to throw this phone against a brick wall. Did I just get a bad one? Or are these known problems with this phone? I'm considering taking advantage of the VM Cyber Monday deal - if I just got a bad V, I might just get a new one. If these are relatively common problems, I think I'll get the Triumph, despite its slightly lower overall ratings...
EDIT: Other info - it's rooted, but cleanly so. I have wiped everything many many times, backed up, restored, etc., and tried at least four different ROMs. The problems still happen.
