I've had my Stratosphere for a year and a half, and am progressively having more issues with it. Originally my upgrade date with Verizon was this month; however, Verizon has now pushed that back to the full 2 years of the contract, so I'm stuck with the Strat for another 6 months.
My phone tends to run VERY hot at times. I can't really pinpoint when or why it happens. I live in a location with very good service quality, so I'm not in a low service area. I don't use the phone for heavy volume of emails, texts, or phone calls. But there are times that I pick it up and it's HOT, when it hasn't been used recently. Any ideas?
Also, the phone freezes - requiring me to hard boot it - at least once a week, sometimes more. Again, any ideas?
I mainly use it for a phone, get occasional texts (a few per week), check email once or twice a day, use the calendar a handful of times per week, and use apps a couple of times per day. I do have a battery saver app installed - before I installed it, my battery would last less than a day. Nothing really syncs automatically because of the battery saver - I have to sync my calendar and gmail every time I want to use them.
I know these concerns are pretty vague, and that frustrates me. Right now I'm just counting down the days until I get rid of this thing and upgrade to an iPhone. But I don't want to fork over $650 for the iPhone just yet. If you have any suggestions for me to look into, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
