First off- I am a total noob when it comes to phones. I'm a tech head when it comes to computers, been abusing them since the day of the 286 SX with 2 megs of ram.
Ok, doing the three button boot, with the phone unplugged, as directed- I get a little droid guy, and a yellow exclamation point inside a warning triangle. I am never greeted with polling text, nothing. I boot, it goes to that screen, and it's been sitting there for 20 minutes. I have to pop out the battery to restart the thing.
This phone has been buggy since day one. The touch screen is wonky- it's unresponsive, to get it to work, I have to cycle the screen off, turn it on, unlock it, try the screen, if it's still dead, I go through this cycling routine anywhere from 2-6 times before it finally works. Makes it hard to get anything done. Trying to hang up a call can be trying, to say the least.
So I'm hoping a different rom, without the stuff Virgin puts on the phone, might cure this.
After running this phone since February, I kept getting out of storage errors. I deleted everything possible, installed one touch cleaner to dump all the cache and logs, and still, it was hosed, I could no longer update software, it was out of storage, or so it thought. I did a factory reset, and that helped a bit, it is a bit faster, the storage errors are gone, but this screen is still borked.
With all this in mind, can anyone recommend a ROM that'd do pretty much everything the stock ROM does, but might give me more control over the thing?
Thanks in advance, and again, treat me like a 6 year old and don't assume anything. Maybe I actually need a 6 year old to do this for me? ; ) Ahh, technology.
