New tbolt, all kinds of quirks

I had a MOTO Droid, first edition, for 14 months and made it work so I feel like I am pretty open minded. But this...this is strange.  I loaded my couple of apps that I used on my Droid.  No problems.  But I wonder about email since that I what I use it for most.  I turned my phone on this morning.  No email notices.  I got onto the internet from my laptop, I had like 15 emails on 2 different accounts.  Anyway, after over an HOUR, I get a notice on the phone that I have email.  I wonder why?  I haven't changed my notification times so it is set for 15 min polling.  Then I set up a new user account for this forum and I went to look for the email from my phone, same thing, no notification and when I refreshed, it did come up.  But when I went to open the email, it is blank!  From my laptop I can see the contents.  Other email show up with contents.  What gives? 
There are also a lot of times when I can't get to the internet for whatever reason and I never, ever had a problem with my Moto Droid.  What about that?  Is it because I can't get to the 4G?Right now I look at my phone and it says 3G but there are no bars.  Does that mean it is on the 1G or that is just isn't working without being on my home network?
I don't want to take this thing back but it is very odd.

Does other people know these things and I just have to find out the hard way?  Apparently either there is no more *228 or it doesn't work with the Tbolt.  The lack of call consistency/quality is a "known issue". 
My strange blank email from Verizon (it wasn't blank when viewed from my laptop) was declared a "glitch" that I should take up with "technical support" when I went to the Verizon store today.  They said, glitches change, sometimes go away, sometimes don't and you learn what works to work around them.  Yes, that's what the guy said  and I laughed.  He said there was nothing wrong with my phone so he couldn't take it back as defective.  Just "glitchy".  I had to laugh again.  I said, I have two degrees in engineering and I know what a glitch is - it means it isn't working correctly. (I called it a bug and he said it wasn't a bug)
Anyway, I am going to call "technical support" tomorrow and see what cute sayings they can come up with.  Not sure if I can keep this phone at this rate.

  • Similar to other, installed the new update, all kinds of problems.

    Did the uninstall, reinstall multiple times.  Itunes now freezes, locks up my computer and I have to cold boot to shut my PC down.  Now what?

    Hi willibphx,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not already, I recommend completely removing and reinstalling iTunes and all of its related components using these steps:
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.

  • After I downloaded Morzilla and opened it, an aol page with all kinds of junk appeared

    New computer. I downloaded the latest Morzilla Firefox browser software. When I clicked on the icon an aol page was there with all kinds of junk...not the morzella-google page. No morzilla toolbar, no bookmark capability. Just aol ads.
    I am already an aol member so I just want a better browser.

  • All Kinds Of Internet Problems - PLEASE HELP!

    So I've been having all kinds of internet problems in my house. I'm almost positive part of it is router related but I just (somewhat scientifically) proved it's also related to my mini. I used speedtest.net to test both my brand new mac mini and my 2006 macbook pro running Leopard 10.5.1 (fresh install). Here's the specs and speed test results:
    _*2006 Macbook Pro*_
    Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM
    OSX 10.5.1
    *Average Results:*
    Download - 4.72 Mb/s
    Upload - 0.84 Mb/s
    Ping - 24-38ms (range)
    _*2009 Mac Mini*_
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM
    OSX 10.6.2
    Results:
    Download - 0.78Mb/s
    Upload - 0.97Mb/s
    Ping - 15ms
    *AFTER PRAM RESET:*
    DL - 2.85Mb/s
    UL - 0.98 Mb/s
    Ping 22ms
    *these were the BEST results and far above the average I got
    Router:
    Netgear WGR614v9 running latest firmware
    WEP 128bit security B/G combined broadcast
    We were running WPA2 security but when I switched to WEP everyone in the house noticed a speed increase.
    The tests were run within a span of 10 minutes and both computers were about 2 feet away from each other.
    Can someone please explain to me why my nearly 4 year old MBP with an outdated OSX is spanking my brand new mini?

    I apologize ahead of time as I am not sure I can answer your question, but I would like to ask you a question if I could...
    Are you using your mini with Ethernet cable or Wireless. Not that there's a real difference in your case but sometimes if you're running with a Wired Ethernet cable on a unit that also has wireless, it helps to turn off the wireless.
    And on the other hand if you are not running with Ethernet cable on the mini, you might think about trying that.

  • Since upgrading to FF v4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FF windows open, how can I keep this from happening?

    Since I started using FireFox version 4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FireFox windows open up. This is annoying as it often covers up instances I am currently using with instances that I don't wish to use right now. I can't seem to find a way to keep this behavior from occurring.

    Try go to '''about:config''' search for '''browser.startup.homepage''' change its value to:
    '''about:home''' - default page<br>
    '''about:blank''' - blank page<br>
    '''url''' - a page that you want

  • I have an iphone 4 that I recently upgraded to IOS 7, and now I cant drag music to it.  It says "preparing to update" eternally.  Weird thing is... I have an iphone 3s that is IOS 6, and it takes new music all day.  arg.

    I have tried direct connecting the iphone 4, via wifi, everything.  I hate itunes with a passion, but it seems to be a necessary evil.  I dont know why I would have no trouble with my iphone 3.  I am using the same technique for both phones.  Find the music I want in the library and drag it to the iphone.  Works on IOS 6, not IOS 7.
    WHat else should I try?

    Hi jeffmbellucci,
    If you are having issues dragging music to your iPhone 4 after a recent upgrade to iOS 7, you may want to verify that the phone is still set to "Manually manage music and videos." You may find the following article helpful:

  • Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work.

    Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work. Why? Running Yosemite 10.10.1 Indesign CS5

    The keyword is "migration." Migrating or copying files for Adobe applications usually does not work. Not all of the necessary subsidiary files are copied to the right location.
    You'll need to first clean up the mess with this tool:

    I have just taken delivery of my very first MacBook Pro so I am new to all that goes on under the cover. Can anyone tell me how I open the pre-installed programmes which are compatible with Word, Excel and Powerpoint?
    Thanks

    Your welcome, gald to be of help
    Welcome to Apple Support Communites and to the Mac, after a little time you will be flying!
    Make sure if you have not done so yet to run software update to make sure you MBP is up to date, you can do this by clicking on the Apple logo at the top left on your menu bar, and clicking on Software update.
    One other thing that will help you when posting here is to make syre your profile is up to date/correct. You have in your profile as of now your MBP model and year which is freat, but you have for your operating system, iOS(mobile devces) 7.02, which would be for and iPhone, iPad, iPod. Your MacBook Pro operates on OSX (which in your case should be 10.8.5, you can find this info under the Apple logo, About this Mac) having this info available to anyone reading a question post is very helpful for them offer advice/sugesstions that may apply to your particular OSX, as well as eliminating confusion.
    Thank you for the green check, by marking your respones it helps other users to find solutions if they are having a similar issue, if you are looking for something, after typing yor question, check the right hand side bar under "More Like This" and sometimes you may find an answer there.
    Synergy is a great thing.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities  and enjoy your new Mac.
    One more suggestion is to purchase AppleCare it will extend your warranty to 3 years and you will also have free phone
    in-store/online for the entire period. I have done this with my families machines and found it to well woth the relativly small investment.
