Yes, before I say anything, how stupid could I be? The answer is: Infinitally! Well, cutting edge leaper that I am, I excitedly upgraded to Gingerbread the same day it came out. I then suffered from all the standard Gingerbread issues, most notably, the interminably constant loading screens. Finally, I went to Best Buy and the Black Tie guys gave me a refurbished pre-Gingerbread Shift. Day after Day, I kept getting messages asking if I wanted to install an update. I called HTC in hopes that I might find out what was going on. Same answer I got 6 weeks ago. You had a problem with Gingerbread? Check back on our website, a fix will be there when we have it. Will that take place before the Mayan end-of-the-world? Now the ultimate Stupid. I got to thinking that I didn't know if all these updates were Gingerbread or something else. It said it was a Kernel Update. I went to the Guru who I bought my phone from, who now turns out to be a GurOops. He said it wasn't Gingerbread, but since I did it, I keep running into the soft boot, HTC loading screen again and again, and yes, I am backing out of Apps, not hitting the Home button. Poop! Yes, Stupidity is doing the same thing twice and expecting different results!
