I was having some of the typical problelms you read about on here:
Actually the inoperable power button is what me take it in to Sprint...the only way I could turn the thing on was to connect to usb....The techs at Sprint opened up my phone and as it turned out the motherboard was corroded...water vapor from the air had seeped in at the headphone port...Inside the phone there was this white powdery like substance prolly oxidation that was near the headphone area on the motherboard...The water had got in during foggy days or timesIi took the phone into the bathroom while showering, etc.....technically my problem was water damage...
So I paid the deductible, got a refurb, and now my problems are (mostly) gone!
- massive battery drops
- random shutoffs
- unusual heat
- power button not working
