Hi @uliwooly
Yes. I did trim the sim card to fit into the slot. I'll look for a replacement sim, but that may take some time. Meanwhile, let me share with you the other problems I am facing. I have a feeling that you might have a solution!
My set (just about two months old) was overheating from day 1. Battery was another issue, but I assumed that the unduly fast drainage was related to overheating only. I went through a software repair, as advised by customer care. Overheating stopped perceptibly. But the battery issue somewhat remained. I found that it was getting charged, and discharged non-linearly, a 100% battery went down to 90% in a few minutes, right before my eyes. However, I would say that this has somewhat improved now, maybe after scores of charging -discharging cycles.
The phone is quite slow. It takes some time to find a name on the contacts list, and direct dial shortcuts often do not work at the first tap. Also, as I have already said in my earlier post, when I receive a call, sometimes the caller cannot hear me, though I can hear him well. Restarting the phone has solved this problem so far.
Another alarming event. Once I found my phone going off on its own. I don't know whether it had shut itself down, I could just see that the screen was completely black. The set was left with reasonable amount of juice at that moment, the charge was about 80%! I had to struggle very hard to reboot it. The power switch seemed not to work at all. After many pushes-- long, short, momentary-- the phone came alive.
It is getting exceedingly difficult to bear with this phone anymore. Please tell me is it all due to the trimmed sim, or I have to throw the phone away to regain my mental peace?
