Help DROID 2 is full of SUCK!

[bobnn]

The default music player hangs incessantly.

The Gmail app, used with default browser, will not download a simple mobile loading pass. Dolphin browser does work, but is it really so hard for the stuff that COMES WITH THE phone to do simple crap?

Why do I spend so much time on Market just trying to get the phone to do what it is supposed to, right out of the box?


The Market app *frequently* fails to download updates - it just sits there stupidly "Starting Download" - G3, wireless, doesn;t matter. Forced quits will not fix.

A sub-menu of contacts will stay on the screen, blocking all use of what it covers - which is basically everything. Only a powercycle will fix.


THIS THING IS A TREACHEROUS PIECE OF CRAP!!!!

I wish I had a goddamn Iphone - rumor has it they actually work!

Dude, no need to bash android because of your misfortune. Sometimes software and electronic hardware can become buggy. Nothing that usually a hard reset wont fix, software wise. If you haven't done so already, go into settings >> privacy >> factory reset. This will wipe the phone and reinstall the Android OS back to factory stock. This should fix any resulting issues you have been experiencing.

IF, for whatever reason you are still having issues, then its possible a hardware issue - and may require a replacement handset.

Yes, the iPhone does work, but your limited at almost anything and everything you can do that isn't regulated by apple.

I didn't have any of those issues using my D2.
Maybe you're having app conflicts.

Wow. Been complaining about the D2 since Sept of last year. I would have sent it in for a replacement by now if its been a problem.

As someone who came from an iPhone 3gs and dealt with apps crashing, update issues, call issues and crap battery life, you're in fantasy land if you think the grass is perfectly green on the other side. Everything has issues. You learn this when you actually have the other thing you're yearning for

Me a year ago: "if i had a nicer more expensive car, it wouldn't have so many issues"

Me now with new expensive car: "crap...."

It could be one of those problems where it always happens except when it is at the verizon store in the hands of the tech aka user error
