This is my second dinc in a week and the same problem. any app I go to the phone freezes up. I can even go to the camera and take a pic and the screen will freeze. verizon is sending me a 3rd now. Is there anything I can do about this freeze up problem. Thanks

is it coming like this out of the box?
 
no matter what screen it locks up. I am using the same sd card but all I have on it is some pics.

its possible that your SD card is corrupted somehow, maybe you should back up the SD card using your computer, and when you get the phone format it in the phone or i think in the computer Fat32
 
Zero 3rd party apps? Verizon didn't install a task killer before you took it home? Is it plugged in when this happens?
 
Weird. Maybe the store you're going to has a bad batch. Next thing I would do is try exchanging it at a different store. Beyond that, I'm not sure what I'd do.

Online from verizon? if the next one is bad go to the store dont deal with online, im pretty sure they still have to honor stuff like that. Ive learned that depending on your tone and aggression sometimes complaining in person vs on the phone has its advantages.
 
yes online from verizon but I will go to the store.

I just had this happen. I got three bad phones in a row sent from Verizon's Texas warehouse. I went to a store and all they could do is send me a new refurb because there was none in stock in any CT stores. Finally I got an AMOLED Dinc and the problem was gone. Anytime I would zoom in all the way the whole phone would freeze. I had to lock it and unlock it to make it work again. I also downloaded multitouch test and one finger (even when there was no finger on the screen) would stay on the screen. Very frustrating. Good luck with the next one.
