Help Unlock screen lag

So now the phone is acting normal today, with the exception of the lag at unlock. Guess I will give it a few more days and see how it does. Doing a factory reset two days in a row is crazy. Takes forever to get it back the way you want it.
 
Ok, so I retract EVERY WORD of my post yesterday. I took my kids to Disneyland and when we got there the phone started acting crazy. First none of my ring tones would work, it was just a really annoying high pitch beep when the phone rang. I went into my music and tried to reset the ringtones, but it kept saying that the music files was not supported by the music player (I have used these ringtones for the last week with no problem). Next I went to take a picture of my 5 year old on Autotopia and the camera wouldn't open, it said "oops, the camera can not open, please try again later". I powered off and back on the unit and the camera worked. Last night when we got home, the phone froze and I did a battery pull. After that the ringtones started working again. I truly think this phone is possessed! I am calling VZW as soon as I get my kids off to school this morning........
 
I've had the ringtone/music problem once. Restarted phone and never had a problem since.
 
Just got of the phone with VZW. CSR is putting this through to his supervisor. I came from D1 with 3 bad refurbs to the D2. He said he is going to try and get me a new phone, we will see. At least he didn't just jump on the "we will send you a refurb D2 and see how that one works out". He agreed that none of this should be happening. He gave me a direct phone number for him and an email. He said he will ride this out to the end with me to make sure I get a phone that works well and that I am happy. We will see....:rolleyes:

Nice - sounds like you got a good agent.

At this point a D2 refurb would likely not be a bad thing - there will be a lot of 30 day returns ("I decided I wanted an X" or fascinate, or whatever) so the refurb stock should not be full of lemons...

Good luck.

Thanks! Well his supervisor said that he had to overnight the refurb today. He is working on Saturday and was told to call me and see how the next one is doing. At that point, if it isn't working out that he will have the "permission" to take it to the next level, but it will then be out of his hands. I agree, I pray this next one is good. This one I have now was great, for two weeks.... I honestly love the phone and just want one I don't have to worry about and just use it and enjoy it ;)
 
Well the second refurb D2 came today. It looks brand new, no flaws. The only thing I notice is that the lag on this one is way worse than my other one, it is even apparent when scrolling between screens. I am finishing downloading my apps right now and then I will delete the widgets from the home screens and see if the lag disappears.
 
Have you run Launcher Pro on it? I prefer it over the stock home screen...not laggy either.

You mean the lock screen lag is worse, right?

The lock screen AND scrolling between the home screens. I have been trying for 20 mins to download all my apps and they are not downloading, it just says "downloading" under each one but they are making no progress. I turned the phone off and back on and got several error messages that the market could not open and to "retry" or "force close". I got it to open back up, but they are not making any progress in their downloads. :confused:
 
Got everything to download, but discovered that the camera doesn't work at all, the battery only lasted 5 hours yesterday on a full charge, the lag is still way bad (yes even with Launcher Pro) and the touch screen jumps around when you try and scroll and is always bring down the "notification" box even when your fingers are no where near the top of the screen.:(

I LOVE the D2! I really enjoyed the first refurb for almost two weeks. I was really hoping this one was perfect. Maybe the next one will be?? I think I do have the worst luck! Lol.
 
Ok, so get this! I just got a phone call from a supervisor at Verizon. I was told I had to take my issue to Motorola (total BS!) So I call Motorola and explain to them what is going on. The Motorola rep told me that, since I received my Droid 2 on Sept 3rd, that I was still within the 30 day period and could exchange it for a BRAND NEW PHONE. I told him it was a refurb and Verizon said that wasn't possible. He said that the refurbs are run through a process and that they are considered NEW when released to Verizon to re-issue. Also since I was upgraded from the D1 to the D2 this is considered a NEW devise and follows all the same rules as if I had bought it new from the store. He said to call VZW back and tell them this. He said if they have a problem that they could call Motorola on a 3 way conference call and they would set VZW straight!

Curious to see where this goes from here. If Motorola is telling the truth, then the lies that VZW has been handing out make me sick!
 
Just got a call back from the supervisor. She is sending out a brand new, in the box Droid 2 to me. It will be shipped on Monday. No extension of contract, no early upgrade fee, nada. Guess Motorola called her out on it. I pray all this drama is finally over!
