    I had that same problem only TWO days after buying the Bold, and I hadn't made any changes to the phone or installed any apps. I called the ATT store to complain and they were happy to exchange the phone, but of course he suggested I pull the battery! While the phone was still on, I pulled the battery out and let the phone sit for about 5 minutes - did that twice and haven't had a problem since.

    I think it might be good practice to pull the battery like once a week to keep things running smoothly.

    Pulled that battery and let it sit for 15 min and still have the hour glass. I have the vzw os that I haven't installed yet I'm thinking about trying that and seeing what happens. After that install. Off the subject I have a vzw phone do I need to delete the vendor xml if I got the os from the vzw website?

    Well I am gonna try os .97 on it tomorrow and see what happens and if that doesn't work ill do the official vzw upgrade and see what that does for it

    Edit: I dont think its a memory issue since my memory is staying stable over night and what not. Can the device get a virus from an email????
