HATE This Phone - Constant 'Force Close' of Numerous Processes

Not a violent, nor temperamental person . . . But this HORRIBLE Droid Charge phone unit just makes me want throw it as hard as possible against a brick wall and then smash into small bits! I AM an electronics/broadcast professional who DOES expect electronic items to work as advertised (or at minimum, be repairable by qualified personnel.)
I remain convinced that the problems most are experiencing with the Droid Charge unit are software based. Why? I'm on my THIRD unit that have all exhibited the same operational failures. At this point, I am still under contract for a few more months and just trying to keep it 'alive' until the S4 hits the shelves.
Problems you ask?
Constant force closing of most every feature on the phone (both factory apps/processes and the very few basic apps that I have loaded.)
Involuntary rebooting and involuntary 'Factory Resets'.
Unable to hook on to a WiFi signal (anywhere - with or without WiFi security.)
Failure to find GPS coordinates for more than thirty minute even outdoors in a clear sky (southern USA.)
I HATE this phone and all my local VZW store reps can do is offer a factory reset (like I haven't done THAT 100's of times) and offer to sell a new unit.
VZW you are quickly losing another corporate customer.
ANY assistance is always appreciated.

Jimbosays,
Because you are on your 3rd Charge Phone with the SAME problems I ask, have you used the SAME battery in all these phones??? It seems odd that three phones have the same problems so maybe it's something common among these three phones like a battery. If the battery is swollen it's a sign that it's a goner!
Involuntary rebooting and force closing can/may be caused by a bad battery. I mean a battery that does charge up to it's normal 3.7 volts and says it's fully charged BUT it cannot hold the amperage (power to run the phone). In this case the battery is just "tuckered out." The only true way to tell is to try the phone with a different good (probably new) battery. The most cost effective way to do this may be to go a Verizon store and ask to try the battery that is in their demo Charge phone.

Why do I have to keep typing in my user id and pw at least 4 tuimes-I hate this phone

Viewing emails (help me not hate this phone)

I just a Trophy for a new job. I'm an iPhone girl and so far the Trophy just makes me want to chunk it across the room.
I can't get the pdf reader to download from the store--it always says check back later. Every darn time. Why is it a whole separate app anyway?
My other biggest issue is that I can't search through old emails? It gives me 20 or so emails from the top of the list and I can't see any others that are earlier. It won't even search those. That makes the email feature practically useless to me as a business phone. How do I look at other emails? And why, even when I tell it to sync, will it not load all the saved drafts that I know I have in Outlook?
Please help me. I'm so frustrated.

pdf requires a one-time download. sounds like you haven't activated marketplace or enabled downloads. you need to login with a windows live id and possibly setup your xbox live profile too.
from there pdfs will be "one click to read" from email, works great. (or use adobe reader to see all the pdfs on your phone).
search email on server (mail not on phone) is not available yet in Mango.
To sync other folders but inbox/sent simply set that up by clicking folders from menu then "sync this folder" or "unsync this folder".
Best mobile email system going (WP7 was great, 7.5/Mango is better).

My iphone 5 chager slot doesnt work my lock button is broken and my screen is cracked i hate this phone may got team galaxy

My iphone charger slot is broken my lock button is broken and my screen is cracked

You would need to get a replacement as an Out of Warranty Service due to accidental damage. Now based on your country/region you could either get a replacement through postage or at an Apple Retail Store. Follow the link below for a pricing:
http://www.apple.com/support/service/
- select iphone
- select your country
- select warranty and service pricing
Choose the last option and it will give you a price based on your country and iPhone. Remember the cost shown includes a postage fee so look below the prices and how much the postage fee is as this would not be included in the cost if the replacement was done at a store.
Hope this helps

I hate this Thunderbolt and I can't take it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a POWER phone user (but I don't root or jailbreak). If I want to watch a Youtube vid, it had better come up. If I want to sream a radio station, it had better buffer and play, when I want to check something out on a website, it had better come up for me. Otherwise, why not just buy a basic phone? I can do all this other stuff from home. But I don't have TIME at home. I only have time when I'm out and about. So...if my phone doesn't live up to the hype, It just makes me all the more angry.
This Thunderbolt reboots all the time AND loses it's data connection, even after the update. I'm hoping Gingerbread OTA comes out today as planned.
But I have a theory as to why this is happening.
I think It has something to do with the networks and Andriod and isn't specific to VZW or the Tbolt. My buddy now lives in a 4G market and never has any issues. He's with Sprint and has their Droid X equivilant. His phone will rarely and only reboot when he's in this area (Kokomo, IN) and he just got Gingerbread and says it really improved battery life.
I drive 30miles one way to work. There are many routes I can take, but they are all rural. Kokomo is a hodge podge of crap networks. We're 3G, EV, 1x, etc. So nothing lasts long when driving as you'll drift in and out of the various networks all the time. And my phone will almost always reboot when I'm driving, and with no rhyme or reason, consistancy, etc. If it doesn't reboot (which I'm convinced isn't a heat issue either), it will at least lose it's data connectivity. Sometimes It comes back on, but most of the time I have to pull the battery. In the Driod forum, many others have said the same thing, and that a refurb replacement didn't help. So, I don't think it's the phone, but rather how Android handles networks.
I haven't checked... but do other Android phones reboot and lose data like mad? I was surprised when my non-VZW buddy told me his Droid X w/ Sprint rebooted yesterday. For a period of time after the last update, my data connection was fine, but rebooting startedh happening all the time. I don't think my phone rebooted once prior to the last update. My iPhone friends never talk about any of these issues... or any issues to be honest.
Which brings me to this... I was so excited to get this phone. It was my first Droid phone and I chose it over the iPhone only because I had plans on getting an iPad 2. I already have an iPod Touch. So I am stacked full of app's. If I'm in a 4G area, (which is hardly ever), the phone seem to peform fine. I came from a Blackberry Tour 9630, which I thought was the worst phone ever. But this one is JUST as bad, and one of the worst decisions I've made in a long time. I love many things about Andriod and this phone, but I spend more time in forums looking for solutions, (while holding back the desire to smash the phone to bits), than I do using it. I basically dream even using the phone anymore because it will always infuriate me at some point. One more ill-timed reboot is going to make me snap (It's not like my Blackberry, but not exaclty a fast booter either!).
And what stinks is that I'm stuck with it until the end of 2012! Plus, I've invested in an extended life battey and a skin. It's annoying how few aftermarket products are avail for this phone to be honest. Battery life is dreadful, so an extened battery is a must. God forbid Otterbox release a case that fits an ext life battery too. It's not going to happen. So, I'm stuck wiith skins, which is fine.
Also, the charge jack is located in the DUMBEST spot ever. Do you think I'll ever see a good cradle that allows me to watch movies or whatever in landscape mose while charging? I bet not. Yes, I know they make some, but none are any good. I quite simpley I hate this phone and regret buying it. I've been with Verizon for a LOOOONG time too.
I went to the local store, and they are all really cool and nice, but acted like I was supposed to live w/ the reboots and loss of data. Someone there always grabs the phone and checks it out, making sure the settings are correct, and hands it back. I want a phone that works!!! God forbid they let me get a different phone. I'll even pay my insurance ded of $99 to get out of this phone.
If I call tech support, they are going to want to do my SECOND hard reset, which is a pain to get up and running again. My gmail addy book is dialed in, so I'm good there. But a hard reset won't work, because it doesn't work for anyone else. A refurb phone will do the same thing, and so will a new. Besides, I bet half of those refurbed phones are from rebooting problems anyway! If I march down to the VZW store, they'll tell me to wait till the OTA update hits to see if that works, which it might. But I've read that people who have rooted their phones and got the update say it's better, but still has some issues and quirks. I've been trying all day to get the update, but I bet that they haven't even released it. I need to check. Last time I got an OTA update, I had to get it in the middle of the night.
My point is.... i'm in cell h--- in this area. We are a 3G city, but if you go any direction out of the city, you start getting into to Centennial Wireless territory, and they are a giant thorn in the side to all major cell companies. They won't let go of a particular area and because of it, Kokomo will likely have ghetto 4G. At least for me, because I'll be far away from the tower. Plus, I live on the south edge of town. So, as I travel south to Indy, I'll have weak 4G, and then get into North Indy's weak 4G until I get closer to the city. Then it's FAST!! Good 4G service is unreal. I'm just regurgitating what a VZW rep told me. I'm just repeating it all back with some "hatred" mixed in.
So, I don't know what to do. Call Tech Support? Beg for a refurb that likely won't work? I could file an insurance claim since I have a legit reason. Sweat got under the display and won't go away. It's not bad, but it's not perfect. The people at the VZW store told me that I really need to get a Bluetooth headset, esp if I sweat a lot. I also put the phone in the crook of my neck a lot and talk while working. This almost always hangs up the call. Very irritating!!
They also told me at the store that if I go thru Insurance and pay my $99 ded, I MAY have a chance to talk them into letting me get a different phone of equal or more value but i'll have to really sell the idea. And if so, I'm going iPhone 4. Period. I don't think it's necc better than my Tbolt, but it's reliable, I have tons of app's for it already, and I'm a Mac user anyway. It just makes sense. Otherwise, there is NO CHANCE i'll be able to talk VZW into getting me out of this phone, even though none of these issues were present while I had the return policy. Only after did it start to do all of these weird things.
It sounds like I'm complaining about the Tbolt just to get the iPhone and I'm not. I'm upset because using my phone is a horrible experience as it's either slow, has a horrible connection most of the time when I'm driving, and is only useful on Wifi. Maybe a different phone will be no better and I'm just cursed to live in a bad market? VZW was supposed to the be the best though, so switching probl won't help me.
Not sure what to do exactly... so I will probl wait to see if anyone has any suggestions. I hate to be so negative, but I'm likely SOL, and that's really sad. VZW has been very good to me over the years, but i don't see how this will end well for me.

You know something ironic? I tried to respond to this using my Thunderbolt and the stock browser, and I couldn't type anything in this box! HA!! I'm doing this from the web.
Anyway, doing the *#*#4636#*#* thing did the trick. I'm now running CDMA (PRL), and only have had one reboot in two days. Usually I would have like 10. This totally confirms that it's something with the brains of the Tbolt that can't handle hand-off's on non-4G networks. In fact, in the past my phone would be in 3G mode, then when a 1x handoff needed to happen, my phone would either not hand off to 1x at all, or it would simply LOSE it's data connection. I watched my signal on my trip home yesterday, and it would easily switch in and out of 3G and 1X. As I said, I'm in "cell hell" here, so I bet I change from 1x to 3G at least 4 times in a 30 mile radius either direction.
So, for VZW store employees to tell people we'll be 4G before the end of year, is just a ploy to cell the new phones. Even if Kokomo goes 4G, it's only good if you never leave town! If half the state is still 1X, then what hope is there that most places will be 4G?
I don't understand, outside of sheer cost, what the problem is making 1x Towers 3G or 4G capable? Are these towers privately owned? Is it up to the owner to fork over the money? Why would they do that for the convenience of minority 4G users if 1X and 3G works "Ok"? It should be manditory. And there are towers ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, so I can only imagine the expense involved. But still, these companies have a responsibility to stay current. Otherwise, someone else will come along with a totally dialed in network and they'll lose business. I'm starting to think VZW is getting so big so fast that they can't keep up.
verizon has the largest network. they have the fastest network. what more can they do? yes, they focus on major markets, but that's because that is where they make money. they aren't a public utility. they are a for profit corporation. their coverage speaks for itself. they pay WAY more attention to the rural areas than any other carrier.....but it's just bad business to throw ten towers in a spread out rural area that will cover a few thousand people....when they can use 9 of those towers in an area that will cover 200,000 people. their LTE network is 10 times faster than sprint's "4g" and they are banking on domintaing the market with it, just like they did with 3g. keep in mind that they launched the first LTE areas only 6 months ago and this is still very new technology.
for the record though, i mostly keep mine in 3g right now, as it is much better on my battery. i switch it to 4g if i'm not near wifi and want to browse or download something. i'm in a strong LTE network and i do believe this LTE network will blow the other carriers out of the water. my 3g incredible speed tests at the same rate as my friends' EVO's on sprint's "4g" netowrk. (just under 2 mbps). no reboots, but i didn't install they update back in may.

What do I do with this phone...

My contract is up in late November and I really hate this phone. I constructed a list of pros/cons.
I can hand write a message and put it on a horse and it will get delivered faster than it takes this phone to start to send a message
The touchscreen sometimes doesn't want to work or it stops working out of nowhere (usually in the middle of a text message).
The phone locks up all the time and sometimes doesn't allow me to open the phone or messaging apps.
It restarts itself while I'm doing something, but it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm doing something because it also does this while it sits on my table charging and doing nothing more.
It is unreliable in an emergency situation due to the way it constantly freezes and always locks up from the simplest tasks
I am told that I have to keep the phone 1cm away from my body at all times? What is up with that?
The phone overheats all the time from literally doing NOTHING but sitting in my pocket.
The battery lasts 5 hours (on a good day) from very basic use (text messaging, calling)
Text messages don't always send and I don't always receive them.
It takes hours for the phone to charge from 10% to 20%
It's veeeeeeeeeery slow ALL THE TIME.
The front LED buttons (home, back, search) don't light up very bright anymore.
Whoever programmed the messaging app needs to be fired because it loads every single text message and multimedia message ever sent to you by that person every time you open a text message.
Burns my leg after being left in my pocket for 20 minutes.
Two 5-minute youtube videos drains my battery by usually 70%.
Resetting the phone would literally do nothing, it still won't send/receive a few text messages
I can't end a call, I've sat there for a good 10 seconds pressing the 'end' button hoping it would actually end the call.
I have thought about going to a therapist for this phone.
It takes 7 minutes for this phone to turn fully off and back on again. I've performed the test multiple times.
While charging, the phone gets way too hot.
I purposely tell my friends not to buy LG products due to this phone. When they buy a new LG product, I tell them to return it as soon as they possibly can.
This phone sometimes doesn't register a call and starts to do some sort of a weird glitching thing where it tries to determine whether the call has enough time left to ask me if I want to answer it or if the phone should just ignore it overall and never tell me about it.
I read somewhere that this phone is a broken, defective, unfixable hunk of ****.
The 'pros' of this phone:
It's an excellent hand warmer in the winter. Just hold the phone in between your hands and it feels like a nice hand warmer. Careful though, it might burn you.
I can throw it at a wall a million times and it doesn't break! It's a great way to release my anger and I feel like LG knew that people would want to smash it against the wall simply because of how horrible the phone really is.
Other comments:
When my contract is up, I'm going to have a party. I'll hang this phone from a tree and hit it like a pinata and brutally
beat it with every ounce in my body. I will burn it, beat it, and beat it some more. As the grand finale I will
attach a mortar firework to it and enjoy it getting what it deserves.

I can't wait to get a new phone as well. LG Revolution owners should be comped for this phone if Verizon intends to keep them as customers.

Having a lot of problems with this phone

I have been dealing with their technical support since june with my phone and they are RUDE and will not help me to get me another phone ... When my phone rings the 2nd one mind you it will ring then it goes silent and then rings again , and sometimes the phone will not ring at all and unless someone leaves me a voicemail it will not show up as a missed call. I'm sick of dealing with this 5 and dealing with these rude people and the play store just opens by itself really ok but they are telling me its not a problem with the system well then whats the problem ..... i hate this phone..

I finally got to talk to a nice person this time one that listened and he said it was a hardware issue. So he sent me out another phone thank goodness. But I was thinking about taking it to the store. If I couldn't get anywhere again. So we shall see what happens when I get the other phone. I do have my contacts backed up to Google . thank you very much for the information. ☺

ITunes user name cannot be used to unblock this phone

hello,
i have recently emigrated to Australia but before I moved out here I was on 02 in the Uk. I asked 02 to unblock my phone which they did and I put a giff gaff sim card in (uk network) and it worked so then took it out of my iphone 5 and put the 02 one back in. Today I have got a sim card from Australia (Vodafone) and have tried to use that sim. When I put the sim in the phone it says
(itunes user name) cannot be used to unblock this phone
it won't let me process any further. I am at a loss as to what to do now? I haven't got the phone on iCloud and have tried everything? I have had the phone from brand new and never changed itunes user name etc. it's weird how the phone is unlocked on giff gaff and I have put that SIM card in and that still works but it doesn't let me use the Vodafone sim. Am I missing something here? Any help would be great. Even the people in the Vodafone shop were at a total loss.
Thanks

I Know it gets on my nerves Idk the very first password I put in for my apple Id and now it sayin i can't use my emai UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After Update: Dropping Calls, Phone freezes, and more Force Close messages

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if there is anyone else who has noticed after the update that there has been more dropped calls? Do you chalk it up to the phone trying to switch between 3g and 4g? I normally have my phone on the wifi setting (free wifi on my college campus---saves using my data). Also I've noticed recently that the phone will tend to freeze up once in a while to the point where I have to shut the phone off and reboot. Also I have been getting more error messages using most (if not all) my applications [Pandora, facebook, games] with the only option to force close the program.
Is there any solutions to these annoying little problems? Trying to have a conversation on the phone is virtually impossible without the connection being dropped (have a record of 6 dropped connections in one conversation).
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi SV23:
You've listed a number of issues that you are experiencing after the software update, and I would like to help you resolve them. If the force closes seem random, it's likely due to some corruption of the software post-update. Most people can resolve software-related issues via a factory reset. This rules out all of the applications that could possibly cause conflictions with the device. If the phone force closes after a master reset and there are no apps on it, we may need to look into replacement options for the device. You can contact the warranty center directly at 866-406-5154.
Please list any troubleshooting steps that you've completed, and post any updates.
Thanks,

Phone updated to build 3.26.605.1, Now I get "Force Close" on most apps

Recently my incredible Rebooted.
When it came back it said "Software Updated to build 3.26.605.1"
Now I get "Force Close" on most apps including the Android market.
What is this build & how do I get rid of it !!!
PS: this phone is 12 months old with no problems until today.

I am having the same problem. I got some kind of a notification a couple of weeks ago that there was a component update available (can't remember the words but a puzzle piece showed up in the status bar), but I ignored it at the time. About a week later (1st week of May) my Incredible crashed and rebooted while using Nav, then it went into a reboot loop until I pulled the battery. When it came back, most of my apps Forced Closed on me and I lost all of my contacts and stuff. This did not make me happy.
I restored the contacts via backup assistant (thank you) and then had to un-install and re-install all my broken apps. The phone still doesn't feel right after this (sorry, that's subjective and unclear, but it's just not it's old self.) Then this last Saturday, we're driving down the road and I'm using tethering with a Netbook (I have the tethering plan) and the phone crashes and loops again. Again, I have to pull the battery. Again, most of my apps force-close. A little further down the road (haven't had a chance to reload apps yet) it crashes and boot-loops again, forcing me to remove the battery.
If I check to see if the software is up to date, the phone says it is. My baseband version is 2.15.00.07.28, my kernel version is 2.6.32.17-g9a2fc16, and the build number is 3.26.605.1 CL264707 release-keys.
Everything as fine before this, I was a happy user. Now, the phone software seems very brittle.

Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7. I've clicked on a folder 5 minutes ago and am still waiting. The work-around seems to be to force-close it, but I've needed to do this many times in the last few days.

Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7.
I posted on here about this a few weeks back and someone suggested force-closing Pages -- and that does indeed enable me to open things -- but I have had to force-close many times in the last 24 hours, which is worrying. Are there any other suggestions?
I am sometimes also finding that, when I have been writing something and then click on "documents" the screen goes blank, there is a wait of around a minute and then the same document is re-displayed, before clicking "documents" again lets me look at other documents -- which is a pain if I am trying to move between documents repeatedly. Again, words of wisdom on this would be great.
Pages under iOS6 opened quickly, and there was an immediate loss of performance when I upgraded. I am finding this very frustrating because I don't feel that the new Pages has added to the facilities I was using, but a slowness to open documents is frustrating.
Thanks
Mark

I am looking into Buying Retail a New Blackberry Q10. Doing this to avoid having to Give up my old Data Plan. Have read that when you activate a new Phone it forces you to pick a new Plan. Is this True? and How to I avoid this? 20 Year Verizon Client

I am looking into Buying Retail a New Blackberry Q10. Doing this to avoid having to Give up my old Data Plan. Have read that when you activate a new Phone it forces you to pick a new Plan. Is this True? and How to I avoid this? Any other advise in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
20 Year Plus Verizon Client

The only "unlimited" plan I can think of where this would not apply is the old Connect plan for multimedia/basic phones. That unlimited data, on devices such as the LG Voyager, EnvTouch, and other "multimedia" devices is not the same.
If you currently have an individual $29.99 unlimited data plan with a 3G Smartphone, then you can buy a BBQ10 retail and activate it with the same data plan and keep the unlimited.

2) guy who installed apps on iPad used his own iTunes account. Is therea way for me to update using my own account? I've tried deleting and reinstalling but I end up paying 2x for the same apps
Who does this iPad belong to? If someone else used their account then they paid for the apps. You will need to buy and pay for apps using your own account which means that you will no longer have access to the apps installed by the other person.
3) I also know I installed some apps on my own account but when I try to update them, the installer guy,s apple I'd comes out. Is there A way to change that?
If this iPad belongs to you I suggest you reset the iPad to factory defauts and just use it with the apps that you've paid for. You will be able to re-download the apps from the iTunes app store after the reset.
Follow this guide to reset the iPad to factory settings.

someone suggested to open your music app and access the store from there first, once done then you can go to the itunes store app, try it and see if it works
