    Hey guys. Just recently bought my Storm used from a guy that wanted a curve + money. So I gave him my curver and $175. Figured it was a good trade.

    Ok, over the past day or so, when I goto lock the phone, the little black hr glass thingy will pop up, but the icons WONT go away, UNTIL, I touch the screen and make it click, then they will go away and into the lock mode. It's weird.

    Also, when I recieve SMS or MMS messages, I will have to hit the Blackberry button, then the back button in order to see the little red star on the SMS button.

    One more thing, I'm not sure what is draining the **** out of my battery, but something is, and no, I dont have Facebook installed, lol. I really dont use the browser that much, cause I'm at work most of the time, but something is eating battery life...

    Which ver. do you have? Maybe is time to do a firmware update. Do a search on this forum and you will find instructions how to do it.

    WOW! That really speeds up the locking of the phone. I was wondering why it was taking so long lately. I guess I just have to remember to manually run the memory cleaner every once in a while.

    Thanks,

    Yea, it's acutally worked, pretty cool.

    Still need to know about my battery dying quickly, maybe cause I had the Memory cleaner enabled?

    If u have your landscape homescreen set to 4x4
    It will cause the sms and mms nitification problem.
    Go to option>advanced options>accesability>grid layout.
    And set it back to default
