Hi guys,
I have had the phone for four days now and I am coming from a Tbolt (running a 2700 mah extended battery, of course).
I am not familiar with this version of Sense, so please let me know if there is something I can do about these things that are starting to drive me bananas:
1.) App icons will duplicate and attach themselves to the homescreen after I have exited the app, even if there was already an icon on the homescreen to begin with. If I open the app twice, I would end up with three icons on the homescreen. How do stop this?
2.) Those same app icons that are putting themselves on the homescreen, simply because I opened the app, WILL NOT BUDGE once on the homescreen. To long-press on it does nothing - the "remove" and "edit" don't even appear at the top of the screen. The only way to get rid of it is to restart the phone, which I'm sure you can imagine will get old real quick.
3.) After restarting the phone, widgets do not reload at all, even after waiting about 20 minutes. I have to re-setup all the homescreens all over again.
4.) The internet/browser barely works - this happens whether I am using Wi-Fi at home (Lou, KY), on campus or using 4G. I keep getting the message that the webpage(s) has/have become unresponsive.
5.) Aside from problems with the internet (even at home), 4G also works only 10% of the time.
6.) I can't get the phone to stop vibrating for notifications.
7.) The battery - I have installed the same (not more) apps that were on my Tbolt. I have also installed the same Task Manager I had on my Tbolt and have set it to "auto-kill" pretty much everything. I have noticed that I can take the phone off of the charger with 100% battery life, go to school for four or five hours (where I keep both Wi-Fi and 4G off), look at the phone again and realize that I have only about 80% battery left. Is this a normal drain for a sleeping phone with a task manager and no internet connection?
8.) Is there a way to display the battery charge percentage on the lock screen when it is charging?
Am I missing something or have I gotten a "lemon"? Or, do I just need to have some patience while getting used to the new phone?
Thanks in advance!
