DAMN this stupid S2!

Using the camera is an invitation to a spontaneous reboot. this has been happening on TWO S'2s with increasing regularity and despite an OS reload on one of them. I HATE this f-ing phone. It's hopeless. it's not like I can get an OS that works (using 1015).

Anyone thinking of buying a Storm--DON'T!

Do you have Smart Wifi installed? That was the culprit for me and many others. Now I just get reboots when I'm writing a long text...yippee! Thunderbolt here I come.

no.

and this POS is rarely connecting to wifi (I get a gray wifi symbol instead of white). that's a NEW issue.

and another ongoing (for a few months) issue is when the phone wakes up in the morning, the Mobile network is turned off about 30% of the time. POS!!! (and my wife's S2 does the same thing)

dave, I can't wait for you to get a new device.

And hopefully, it will be something other than a BlackBerry, so you can complain somewhere else.

or I could go back to my LG8300. that never gave me a moments problem in several years usage.

Hm... I had reboot problems with my reg Storm, but since I got the Storm 2 I've not had one single issue (on 1015). I'm running the Zen_Six them, a handful of apps but have QuickPull resetting my device every morning at 2am (while I'm sleeping). She runs fine all day long. Try some proactive thinking instead of reactive.

Dave, Dave, Dave, battery, battery, battery!!!!

Thachoc1 · #12 03-18-2011, 02:56 PM

Dave, I think I've been suggesting a new batt to you for 4 or 5 months now. Dude, I swear I'm gonna buy you one, find you, and install it myself. LOL!!!

WagenWill · #13 03-18-2011, 03:30 PM

Seriously, the batteries are only like $3 with free shipping from amazon.

I'm biding my time waiting for the Bionic. I get aggravated just LOOKING at my Storm.

what's the correlation between trying to use the camera app ON TWO DIFFERENT PHONES and having them BOTH reboot??? makes zero sense...
