My issue is that it forgets all my notification settings and use my voice notes at random for ringtones.
what if we used a alternate launcher like launcher pro or adw? would that stop the redraw?
I too have had problems... browser app randomly crashes, and a green screen comes up when I try to watch videos! :OI'm super excited about this phone and have found a few things that I noticed that just don't seem quite right yet. Maybe we can get a little feedback from the community on these issues to see if others are experiencing the same, and to collect a list of things we'd like to see improved in the first update to our new device.
Here's a few things I've noticed since having the phone for a few days now.
1. Lag when adjusting the phone from portrait to landscape and visa versa. I would think with all the processing power that this would be instant. It could be due to a physical limitation of the sensor as well... anyone with knowledge on this available to chime in?
2. Quick Contacts - I added a quick contact and for some reason it wasnt retrieving the correct info for that particular contact. Instead, it was return data regarding another contact with the same first name. Long story short, I had to delete the contact with the data that I didn't want, and then rename and reload the contact that I wanted in that particular spot. Seems to work ok now, but still kinda odd that this happened.
On a side note, I have the car dock which works flawlessly with the phone, however when I installed a verizon branded hard case (which is supposed to be compatible with the car dock) the dock doesn't seem to receive the phone as well anymore and requires a little fidgeting to get the phone into car dock mode.
I have had a few instances where my GPS will not initialize when opening a GPS-dependent app (like a Weather app or Google Maps). In all cases, the only way to get the GPS to start working again is to turn the phone off and back on. I have tried toggling airplane mode and also tried force closing the app and restarting it, but that hasn't worked. Toggling GPS off/on by itself might work, but I haven't tried it yet, frankly, because I couldn't find the option in the settings menu (it don't think it is in the same place as stock Android, but it's probably in there somewhere). I know I can add the power widget to a home screen to do that, but didn't really want to add the whole thing just for GPS toggling.

I noticed today that I had too many running services. The RAM on my device is 335MB and my phone is using 270MB with 65MB free. This makes it run slow and I have no idea why so much is running. It is very frustrating!!
Picked up a D3 for my wife. (I have a Thunderbolt.) Some of the D3 touchscreen buttons are considerably less responsive than my TB, especially the back and home buttons. She has to tap them several times quite often before they'll respond. Is this common?
If I search from the Home Screen it always tries to force close... =0( this happened on my D2G too.
when I make a phonecall my screen turn off. Even when I'm on speaker phone and holding it in my hands... I think I'm going for and exchange for another d3.
