So my original handset (UK GB 2.3.7) had to be sent off for repair with the following faults:
- Call drop outs and disconnections.
- Freezes and crashes of the main OS.
- Random uninstallation of applications after reboot (only apps installed on internal memory).
- Lack of signal and long delays with the handset picking up a network after being out of coverage.
- Occasional earpiece speaker failure.
- Occasional loudspeaker failure.
- 3.5mm audio jack also fails to work some of the time.
- Screen unresponsive meaning calls cannot be answered and alarms cannot be cancelled.
It came back from the third party repairers for Phones4U with ICS on, and a HUGE DEEP scratch on the main screen. So i sent it back and demanded a new handset. The brand spanking boxed phone was returned last weekend, and I have to say i'm a very happy user so far...
I must be one of the lucky ones at this stage, as the only noticable (and EXTREMELY annoying bug) is the radio one which it seems affects everyone.
The Wi-Fi is more than fine, bluetooth with my Smartwatch fine and battery life fine...SO FAR...and i'm not experieincing any of the above issues yet...
...watch this space...
