Droid1 finally toast, RIP

I don't think there will be a fix for this one. My phone is freezing and rebooting every 10 seconds. It is even doing this from clockwork, not enough time to wipe or flash a new zip. I guess its been 2 years of 1.2-1.25ghz and a few drops. I even dropped it on purpose a couple times when it wouldn't turn on(actually fixed it). It was a good run.
 
:( Sorry to hear of your loss... dang Droids are dropping like flies all of a sudden! Do you think there is a hardware "self-destruct" chip in there designed to wreak havoc right at the NE2 mark? :rolleyes:
 
Damned well better not be - my phone = my lifeline. And I cannot afford to upgrade for another couple of weeks.
 
I feel ya. I hope you have a suitable solution available to you. Chief's right, these Droids are dropping like flies.
 
I guess it is a "forced upgrade" bug motorola builds into it's phone... My power button is on its way out. I have until September before I can upgrade... Hope it makes it.

Oddly enough, my droid showed its first real signs of wear last night when i was charging it, i noticed that the charger did not always make connection and had to be jiggled. :(
 
My wife and I got our Droids the day after release and mine has definitely tested the time much longer than hers. On hers, the power button is really sunken, the kb is really loose and she's got a ton of bruises on the side of the screen (obviously from drops or casually throwing it into a purse full of knives and what not). Mine hasn't had any of these issues and I'm flashing a new ROM almost weekly (she won't even let me root it).
But, I have to say, I'm starting to get tired of the lag regardless of how stable CM7 or LGB is. I'm ready for some gd GSII. I saw some in France when we were there a couple weeks ago, and that mofo is FAST!
