Numerous Problems With My Phone. Am I the only one?

I got the Droid Charge in June 2012 so it's been about 7 months that I've owned this phone. The phone was fine at first but in the past few months, I've experienced the following:
Phone shuts off at random times (when the battery is not dead)
Phone randomly restarts itself
Phone dies but when I plug it into the charger it says 100% and doesn't actually charge
Phone says it's charging but either charges really slow or maintains the percentage it had when I first plugged it in
More recently, (as in today and the past 2 weeks) I've had these problems:
Phone will charge when it feels like it
Phone will be on charger for hours but will only increase battery life by a few percent
Phone will allow me to use data but I can't make/receive calls or respond to texts (4G doesn't disappear but there's a solid grey triangle at the top)
I still am unable to use anything but data, the only difference now is that my phone says no service (which is impossible)
There are a few phones on my line that are working properly with NO issues so I know that this has to be phone related.
I really need my phone to work again!

Been having problems with mine for a while also. I found changing the USB cable with my changer helped with the recharging issue. But i am fed up with this phone acting like this. Quick browse around others are having issues too.
I am going to wipe it clean and see how things go. My fear, the issue is going to be the OS. My wife's phone is also having issue.

I have iphone 4 and the software is ios 7.0.2. I am facing problems with my phone.

Hello Chefboyharley,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the phone is unresponsive. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Leopard printing problems on several printers (Am I the only one?)

Since installing Leopard shortly after it was released, I've had flakiness with printing:
- With Tiger, when I printed, I could open the printer's window, and see the print job queued. The job would finish, disappear from the window, and everything would be fine.
- When the job was printing, the printer icon would appear in the Dock. When the job was done, the icon would disappear from the Dock. Simple.
With Leopard, printing has worked, but I have never seen a print job appear in a PrinterProxy window. I print, the printer outputs the job, and PrinterProxy is always blank. The printer icon appears in the Dock, and stays there forever. I found that I could ctrl-click on the icon and select the Auto Quit option (Hooray!), but that only worked for a while. Then the icons started staying in the Dock again. When I click on the Dock, there is no more Auto Quit option... just the "Application Not Responding" message. I have to force quit Printer Proxy after every time I print.
What's stranger is how long it takes for the PrinterProxy app to start up. The icon in the Dock bounces for well over a minute. Sometimes, the job finishes printing before the app is launched. If I switch between apps using Cmd-Tab, I can select the PrinterProxy app, but it never actually displays; instead, I just revert to the current window.
This is true for every printer I use, and as a traveling consultant, I use several. It is true whether I am printing via Airport, or over a direct Internet or USB connection.
The printers that are permanently in my Printer List are:
Canon i9100
Brother MFC-8840
Epson Stylus Photo 220
HP LaserJet 1320N
HP LaserJet 8800
HP LaserJet 6570
HP Color LaserJet 5550
Adobe PDF 8.0
All of these have the same problems. What's worse is, when I have a printing problem, there is no way to diagnose it, since the print jobs never show up in the PrinterProxy.
I have reset my printing system many times. I have deleted and re-added my printers many times. I have downloaded drivers from the manufacturer's sites, and reinstalled Leopard's default drivers. Nothing makes a difference. Strangely, after updating to 10.5.2, the Auto Quit problem went away for awhile, then returned spontaneously.
At the thread below, I show some of my system and crash logs from a prior discussion. Someone was helping me with the problem, but after asking me to post my logs, he seems to have dropped off the thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7013209#7013209
I can't believe this problem is endemic to Leopard. I know many people who seem to use Leopard without any problems at all. (They even print once in a while!) And yet, as a fairly advanced user, I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem! My system is pretty plain vanilla, with no weird mods, hacks or apps. Pretty much just straightforward creative and productivity apps. I use it daily for business, so I try to keep all wacky stuff off of it.
There must be a solution, short of doing a clean install. Can anyone help? Are there PrinterProxy-related files I can delete when I reset the Printer System that might help resolve this? Prefs?
Thanks,
David

I'm having exactly the same problem with a Lexmark C760.
When I inspect the Activity Monitor while opening the Printer Icon from the Dock (or press the Button "Open Print Queue" in the "Print & Fax" System Preferences), I can see the Printer Icon as "Printer Proxy (Not Responding)" marked in red in the processes list. The Dock icon bounces for quite a while, and after about 2 minutes, a Printer List actually appears under the PrinterProxy application and the process in Activity Monitor changes its name to "(null)" and its color to black.
Though there is no entry in the PrinterProxy list when I print something from another application while keeping the window open, I can select "Supply Levels" and the correct information appears, so it seems to be functional.
It also seems that there are several copies of the drivers remaining, as the application in the Dock is named "Lexmark C760 (4)", probably from my attempts to remove and reinstall the driver. Is there some interference with old installations of the drivers that still lurk somewhere, hidden in the depth of the many libraries? How can I get rid of the previously installed drivers for good?

Hello i have problem with my phone connect to the pc

as i read the tutorial it says that once i plug in my usb cable i would see a notification on my phone on usb debugging or option to choose. But it never pop out for my device. it straight goes to charging my phone. Is there anybody could help me in this?

I've had similar problems with several types of phone, and it only seems to be when connected to a vista pc, my solution was to go back to XP, now have no such troubles. Good luck

I am having more problems with 10 for Mac than the old one. Al ot.

All sorts of problems. It gets stuck. They have actually appologized the first time I used it and I had to turn off computer. The latest was I couldn't upload a file in an online email. I didn't have problems with the old one which was quite old.

HT1766 Has anyone else had a problem with their phone after using the cable to upload photos from Camera stream to computer photo program? My phone is frozen, cannot get into use phone, cannot connect to the Internet, and even APPLE is stumped.

I only have my IPhone5 for two months and am very upset that now they may need to give me a new phone and lose anything that may not have been recently backed up by the phone. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you reseolve it? Hard reboots did not help.

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Wow! Gb11 is filled with quirks and am i the only one troubled

software instruments like M1 drums ( should be and always were drums ) is now a piano.
It wont stop saving!
i am losing the midi control and sound of software tracks.
CLicking on a star creates havoc ( quantizing erratically )
its scaring me.
Its so buggy. im not used to it behaving so erratically .
anyone out there having GB11 psychosis?
might have to reinstall it.
where is the manual?
how do you shut off this fixing the rhythm or groove quantize note time
its driving me crazy

Apple puts out a software that runs by itself on automatic without asking you if you want that time fixing and is throwing the timing of vocal tracks off.
i just sent them a feedback. where is the manual for a product that times and auto quantizes without your permission.
GB 9 was much more stable and sensible.
when you open GB up it offers you recent songs but you cant even see the titles
in the icons
its not good news so far!
So you have no say as to when you want to execute the groove matching? or what to exclude from that command?
More importantly, are you actually making finished tracks or is your work flow all out the door?
I might need to think about cloning my system HD and trailing GB11 on a separate system for a while then.

Poor GPS reception in IPhone 3GS, am I the only one having this problem ?

Since I have many problems with GPS drop outs and poor signal strength errors when using navigation software for Iphone 3GS firmware 4.0.2.
First I reset my Iphone completely and installed all apps from scratch, but this has not solved my problem.
I now tried several tests to compare with both an Android phone HTC Desire and a very old Symbian phone Nokia E65. Neither the Nokia E65 or HTC Desire have any drop outs in the GPS reception while my Iphone has several dropouts, making navigation horrible.
Am I the only one having this problem ?

Unfortunately, you are not the only one (I personally use TomTom with car kit). This is one of the numerous bugs introduced by iOS4 and this one has been reported by many in this forum. Be careful not to use your iPhone based navigation system in a foreign country, due to high roaming costs ! I had to use it and nearly had an heart attack when reading the invoice.
Apple doesn't care. Unfortunately, I have to care for my budget.

Tech support said I was the only one having issues!

Verizon,
How can you possibly say no one has complained or had similar issues with this phone when I come to this site to discover that hundreds of people have posted complaints? I have had major issues with my LG revolution since I have got it and have constantly been told it is a software issue and the next software update will fix it, guess what no software upgrade has ever fixed any issue. Freezing up, random restarts, never receiving/sending some text messages, claiming it must just be my phone when everyone I know with this phone has issues, short battery life, just to name a few issues and then when I call to say I want a different phone because this phone is not acceptable I receive RUDE CUSTOMER SERVICE.
As my family has been loyal Verizon customers for many years this is blatantly not acceptable. These are issues I have never had with any other phone from your provider and now all of a sudden this particular phone will not send texts and not receive others intermittently? This is a service issue and a device issue! I don't care how you fix it, but I want it fixed! Before a service rep reply's to this saying "download the newest software as LG has addressed the issues in it", I have and (surprise) it did not fix anything! As a loyal customer for many years I want a phone that works. When my alarm doesn't go off because my phone is frozen causing me to miss class or work that's an issue. Before you tell me well it may just be your individual phone why don't you look through this forum at the number of people that are having the SAME issues on their 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th phones! I DO NOT WANT ANOTHER LG REVOLUTION I NEED A PHONE THAT IS RELIABLE. I spent a large amount of money on this phone expecting it to be a reliable cell phone, this is not what I expected. Every time I have gone to Verizon to get my phone fixed or traded in I am told that they need to see the issue occurring at that exact time, how can I do that when many of the issues are intermittent?
With so many people on here having so many issues with this phone how can you simply ignore this problem? Switch my phone for another phone of equal or lesser value PLEASE I would love to choose something else other than this phone. If an issue isn't resolved I assure you when my contract is up I will be switching to a different provider causing your company to lose a lot more money in the long run than if you switch out my phone, and as I am sure I'm not the only person thinking this be ready to lose a lot of customers over not resolving an issue with an incompetent phone.

Hello
I did exaclty as VW told me to do regarding this phone. It locked up, again, I drove to the store and the Manager tells me it is my fault becuase of apps or something I am doing. VW needs to understand that as a Customer I purchase a product to use. They advertise them to be used. I also understand that I am a sucker for staying with VW. OR it could be the early termination fee that bugs me for a Phone that I can't use. If there is one App that is a common app that does not work, then all the similiar issues would be an easy fix. The Manager forgot to ask me about the prior tech support-- this is a phone I have reset 3 times with 2nd tier service. I have removed every app.. I have installed one app at a time over a period of a month. The random freezes and lock-ups are never the same. Today's freeze of the day was the slide lock--no longer worked. The LG Revolution is the problem. Now, I try not to make calls on it--so that is does not drop them. I have removed every app for several weeks and had more lock-ups than if I have apps iinstalled. The problem with this phone is not the Apps, it has a memory leak, or a design flaw. I have my calls fowarded to a different phone just so I dont have to have the phone freeze during a conversation.
Today was the last straw--It will be replaced, but not replaced by anything other than a LG Revolution. This is my 3rd replacement.
If you were lucky to read this post and have an LG Revolution that works--that is wonderful!!
For me, this phone has been a reason to leave Verizon. I just can't believe after following their instructions, I am told it is my fault, and no we will not give you any credit towards a new phone. I was asking for a$50-100 bucks off a new phone...
I pay hundreds of dollars each month for the last 10 years and this is what I get for my money.

I am having problem with me Iphone4, looks like the mic of my phone is not working. no one can hear me if I make a call to them

Can any one please help me I am having problem with me Iphone4, looks like the mic of my phone is not working. no one can hear me if I make a call to them. I have tried all restoring options but no use. please help me

The mic on my iPhone4 has just quit also. Similar symptoms to yours in that people I'm talking to hear only static or my voice very faintly. The voice/memo recorder also only really records static.
It happened suddenly and seemed to get better after a day or two but then went completely after another day.
I'm returning it to Vodafone New Zealand shortly but will have to wait 5-10 days for a replacement. There are NO Apple accredited means to speed this procedure up in NZ.
We don't even have a single physical Apple Store where you could walk in and talk to a Genius.

My iphone 4 was crushed on the road. Bought a 4 replacement tried to restore it in itunes to get my contact info and it said there was a problem with my phone and I should contact mean

My iphone 4 was crushed on the road. Bought a 4 replacement tried to restore it in itunes to get my contact info and it said there was a problem with my phone and I should contact apple store. What does that mean please?

Is the replacement exactly the same as the original ie same memory size & same version? If so it may require updating the OS software before trying to restore your stuff from the backup.

What,s the reason to stop iphone 5?? Is there any problem with that phone?? Because still 4s is in market but iphone 5 is stopped.... What,s wrong with apple??

Why apple stoped iphone 5? What's the reason?? Is there any problem with that phone... Because iphone 4s is still in market.. But they stopped iphone 5.. What's wrong with iphone 5????

It was replaced by the iPhone 5C, which is essentially the same phone except for the case, better LTE converage and a larger battery.

I can't text a contact but can voice phone them. I don't have the problem with any other contact and the contact is not blocked. I have an iphone5.0 OS 8.1.3

I can't text a contact but can voice phone them. I don't have the problem with any other contact and the contact is not blocked. I have an iphone5.0 OS 8.1.3. I used to be able to text them with no problem. The only difference I can think is that this problem may have started since I downloaded the OS I am using now
