A Slightly Frustrating Night Out With My Z10
I live just north of Toronto, and for those that know we hosted SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA last night at the Rogers Centre. Amazing show btw, but while I was trying to show off my amazing new z10 to the friends I was with, I had some issues...
The night started with BBM not working...my wife has a 9900 and I think hers was ok. She sent me the address of a bar but my BBM was down so I didn't get it until last minute. A little peeved but nothing huge.
By then I was on the road and annoyed when the turn by turn maps didn't want to work properly...no audio and bad directions. Rebooted the app, same problem. Restarted phone, fixed.
Then when we arrived I tried to check in via Facebook, not working. This has actually happened 3 or 4 times. Rebooted Facebook, nothing. Rebooted phone, fixed.
Then I went to take a video, but the red light wasn't appearing and I missed out capturing a huge part of the show. Kept clicking the screen, it would make a clicking sound but no red light. Toggled between camera and video camera...nothing. Rebooted camera app, nothing. Rebooted phone, fixed, but the moment was lost.
I know there's probably a legit technical reason for each of these issues, and my knee **** blackberry loving defensive reaction is 'its a brand new OS, they'll fix it soon, can't wait for that update!'
That said in one night on the town amidst showing it off to friends in hopes to sell it via word of mouth and example, it failed me during real world scenarios when I needed it, only solvable by complete reboots and patience.
I love the phone, i love the brand, and I'm hoping I just had a bad luck night. This phone really needs to kick ***, especially in the US market so I'm hoping these bugs and glitches are fixed prior to launch there.
Cheers

Is there a way to reset apps that are not working properly like in Windows where you have a task manager? I seems a shame to have a device that is crash proof yet still needs reboots.

Regularly rebooting because things stop working pretty much contradicts your stable and crash proof statement
