So I have NO idea WTF happened to my Rez... had it in my pocket, recieving notifications like normal throughout the evening. I took it out of my pocket to check it when I got in the car and it was DEAD!! Completely dead... Wont turn on. Wont take a charge(amber light doesn't even come on when plugged in). I have tried 3 different batteries, different chargers, all combinations of SD card/SIM card in and out... I GOT NOTHING!:confused::( So, I called and have a replacement coming tmw(at least thats what they said. I expect more like Thurs.). But I am still curious what happened...

My question is this(I didn't tell warrenty ppl)... a few hours before this happened, I downloaded the Maxthon Web Browser. Could this have caused my phone to brick??:confused: Other than that, I didn't add anything new or make any changes. Any input would be great!! Thank you!!

Sounds like your phone just decided to give up on life for some reason... I highly doubt the Maxthon Browser had anything to do with it though, I have been running that browser for two years on multiple phones since it first released for Android and never had an issue I could blame on it.

This one is probably a mystery you will never know the answer too...
