Don't get the wrong idea about this thread, I love the phone, but it does have a few quirks that irritate me sometimes.
1) My house gets crappy vzw signal, I know this, but my phone will lose data connection when I come into my house. This is not a problem b/c I use WiFi when I'm there, but when I leave, occasionally data service does not restore itself. I have to power cycle the phone to get it to come back.
2) About once every other day, my phone will start ringing from the earpiece instead of the external speaker, causing me to miss call from not be able to hear it. Power cycle again fixes the problem.
3) Occasionally calls are going straight to voicemail, even when I'm in a great coverage area at the time of the call.
4) Scrolling sometimes jumps to the bottom of the page/menu when I'm browsing for whatever reason.
5) My phone will just call someone randomly when I'm playing with it. (Not in phone app). Usually it calls the last person I talked to. This has happened to me 3 or 4 times since I got it on the 7th.
6) Twice the home screen bugged up and threw up a Force Close message, the only way I can recover from is to do a battery pull as my screen is black and the power button is unresponsive, and I can not receive calls during this.
7) Visual Voicemails are sometimes coming in hours after they have been made.
I expressed my concerns to VZW and they told me of an update scheduled to come out on the Droid in the near future (Talking about the 12/11 update I assume). I did ask if the update came after my 30 days was up, and it did not correct the problems if I would be able to switch the phone with something else, the guy said he would put a note on my account and I should be able to switch to something else if I payed the restocking fee. I do not want to have to switch back to something else as I do love this phone, but because I use it as a work phone, the ringtone problem, and straight to voicemail (miss calls) problem do need to be corrected.
I know I'm not the only person with some of these problems as I have read on either here/CB/and the Motorola forums of other people with some of the problems I have. Just curious if anyone else is seeing all or some of these issues.
