Perhaps I phrased my post wrong. It just seems that every time I update, it doesn't fix any of the issues, and sometimes creates new ones or makes existing issues worse.
After a week or two after the format, it went back to its old ways. Forgetting it has battery life, not being able to send pictures, freezing a lot, etc. Gave it three strikes, it racked those up in two days.
Ended up saying screw it, I'm done. Bought myself a Motorola Atrix 2 and it's wonderful.
Thanks for all the help, though, definitely appreciate it!
