Is the Incredible full of little bugs?

[dimanchi]

I expect to be in the minority here, but thought I'd ask before getting on the case of possibly returning my phone...
I've recieved my Incredible a couple weeks ago and - largely, it's a fantastic phone. I have noticed, however, a number of little bugs - some of which I can live with, others that seem to be getting in the way. Don't get me wrong, most of the time my Incredible works great, but every now and then I get little annoyances that make me wonder whether it's my phone or just the way the Incredible is.

Primarily, the default browser closes randomly pretty often. I'd be in the middle of loading a website, and the thing closes and returns to the home screen. This seems to happen fairly often, though by far not always and I am able to browse freely much of the time.

Same thing with some apps, I get force closes here and there across the board, randomly. Even with the stock apps.

Then there's the well documented random reboot - I've had it in the first week mostly every day, and I am waiting to see if it comes back. I read on another forum it's a Verizon/tower issue possibly... so I don't know.

Anyway, is this common? I know it's not, but I'm sure everyone has noticed at least *some* bugs. The Internet one is what annoys me the most. Should I return my phone?

I have been an Inc user since the launch. I have had 1 random reboot as I walked out of the VZW store following activation. None since. I have experienced NONE of your other stated issues at all.
Sounds like a bad unit.

Yeah, it sounds like a bad unit. I'd go for a new one.

I would try a factory reset and see if that resolves your issues. I was having some really minor issues and a factory reset took care of them.

Yup. Master reset first. If you still have the same issues, return it. That's not normal.

I took mine back due to browser closes and phone locking up on some websites and the replacement phone did the same thing. Ive learned to deal with it but it hasn't closed on me for a while although I can still make it lock up by going to a particular site.

Mine did the random reboot thing too though I haven't had it reboot for quite a while. Of course it may still be doing it and I may just not be noticing.

I had not had any issues in the first month or so, until recently. Now I have had a few more pop up here and there.

Today the screen was completely inresponsive and wouldn't allow me to answer a call. Then I got the random scrolling through my home pages thing today as well. I was roofing a friends house today and didn't know if being up on the roof could be a potential cause?

Nothing too worrisome, coming from an Eris where these types of issues would have been a welcome relief.
