I'm going to assume you are using the garbage 2.2 rom. My advice, dump it and get either CM6 (2.2) or CM7 (2.3). These are the only roms, other than icarus (2.1), that are worth having.

It just hit me, do you have the Tapout Edition Ascend? Just covering all the bases.

That phone is 2.1, so have you rooted it and flashed a 2.2 rom? Does this all sound unfamiliar to you? If you bought it and did nothing to it than it is stock 2.1.

If you just bought it and it is already acting up, you may want to take it back to the store for a replacement. It should not malfunction straight out of the box.

but is it really a malfunction or is it suppose to because the phone is actually my gfs and she says its "updating" and i say theres no way because an update would 1 restart the phone and 2 you wouldnt be able to mess with it cause the update but could it be something like that?

LOL HAHAHAH... excuse that, people have been waiting for an update for this phone for over 6 months. There is a whole thread dedicated to it. Trust me if there was an update everyone here would know. But even if it was, no it would not auto update, you would have to press something to initiate it. It's a malfunction. If the phone is doing something that you did not tell it to do its malfunctioning.

to get rid of the metro hello POS, you have to root your phone using z4root and you need root explorer or androotfile...

Tech support says this is a phone issue, repair says it is a tech support issue. Have had this problem for 2 1/2 months. Replaced phone, now on 3rd one.
Any suggestions that will not void my warranty?
