My phone is acting funny. Like random reboots, screen acting weird when i turn off the display. Anyone else have this problem?
 
I used gingerbreak to root. Its not really an issue to me, it only acted weird right after I successfully rooted it. Also I need your guys opinion I tried exchanging my phone at my local BB because of the GPS issue and the light leak issue. They said the light leakage was normal and of course I looked at them funny but what can i do? As far as the GPS they were able to lock it in, but of course it took like 5 minutes. They said since it technically is "working" they wont exchange.... So wtf?

I had a hard time exchanging my phone at bb but as long as you're within your 30 days of purchase you can return for full refund so I returned mine and got a new one; seems kind of silly considering you are resetting your 30 days when you do that. The bad thing is if you used your coupon already the first time you will have to get another coupon for the second time. Don't let them intimidate you - you are the customer.

I had the exact opposite experience a t BB - I had a bad mic and they swapped it out without any haggle or testing whatsover. Took all of 5 mins. I originally used a 10% code and they just gave me a new phone - zero hassle. I was very impressed.
 
I have a problem since being rooted, but it existed before root as well.
MMS does not work, send or recieve.

Would any kind soul post their apn settings for virginmobile us, my triumph seems to have shipped with a slew of foreign apn's but not one working with virgin mobile.

TIA
 
Random restarts seem to be due to software that's been installed, and has happened to several people. I installed all the apps I'd had on my Droid prior to ever rooting the thing, and I started getting the random restarts. I reset the phone and the problem went away. I'm now adding apps back one or two at a time and watching for problems.
 
I can't seem to get "USB Connection to PC" to show up or work at all after rooting, and unrooting. Also the CD Drive won't load itself anymore. Otherwise no problem, I can simply do a factory reset to make it working again.
