Hi. I'm a "newbie" on Crackberry.com. I just got the Storm and so far absolutely hate it. I heard there is an update but haven't been able to locate it and don't know how to navigate this forum yet to find it. Can someone please help? Thank you! Teri
Unfortunately, I am experiencing the problems I've read others have had before the update. It is extremely slow, the keys get mixed up at times (my number pad can be off by as much as an entire number when trying to enter #'s in contacts), it practically stops my heart everytime it rings at the highest volume - just to name a few. I know a lot of liking the Storm is getting used to it, but it's my business phone and I type and text a lot, and I don't have time for the learning curve it seems like it's going to require. I was hoping there was a software that would magically fix it all, but it appears that if I have the latest version, it may be a while until the silver bullet appears.
yea there is wayyyy to much info on this site and searching is getting to be a pain. Try this, delete the VZ navigator and the visual voice app. That should help a little bit. Let us know what happens afer you do those.
I had some of the same problems at first...but after deleting VZ navigator and visual voice apps I saw some improvement. Also...a simple battery pull and reset never hurts. My phone is running really smooth now after doing those things.

Thre are a lot of us not having any of these problems. Your number pad shouldn't be off at all (I would call Verizon c/s if this is really the case) and you can turn the ringer volume down with the toggle on the upper right side. If it is really buggy try reloading the OS...if that doesn't work get a replacement.
I've gone to verizon with my phone and they seem as befuddle by the Storm as I am. Question: is it normal for the glass "face" to move some or should it be stationary as it was on my 8830? I asked someone at Verizon and they didn't know. If it's not supposed to be moving, then I've found my problem. Thank you all for your input - after I know whether the screen should move, I can go forward with trying your suggestions. Teri
The screen is supposed to move a little...it has to have some play in it since it is one giant button. Check the threads for the business card trick...this may help. Also remove the apps mentioned above and do a battery pull. If you are still having problems you may have a bad device in which case I would call and get them to send you a new one. It really is a great device so I wouldn't give up on it yet!
Thank you - I really WANT to like it - and perhaps that's what makes it all the more frustrating. I was like a kid at Christmas waiting for my Storm. I'll try all the suggestions and see how it goes. Regards, Teri
