T-Mobile Trackpad in Sunlight and Replacement
So my 9900 definitely is not useable outside in sunlight. Starts going nuts moving on its own, but if I cover the sensor it stops moving. Works fine indoors. Two of my son's have brand new 9360, and they work fine in the sun held side by side with the 9900 going nuts, so that rules out the technology not working in sunlight because otherwise the 9360 would go nuts too. Could be a bad run of 9900 or they used a different part on the 9900 that is inferior.
So my question is has anyone switched out there T-Mobile 9900 because of this issue, and if so does the new one not have this issue? Could this be an issue with the 9900 software and an update might fix it?
Bought two 9900's and two 9360's from Costco on October 5. The T-Mobile store says I can do a $5 Warranty swap, but could get a refurb (phone is only a month old). Going to see what Costco says as they said they had a 90 Day return policy when I bought it. Both 9900's are from Mexico 4 plant and I'll test the wife's when she gets home. And please don't respond with a link to #4 on a list that "RIM never said that you can use your phone in direct sunlight" because that is not acceptable and if a Curve works fine then the flagship bold should work better.
