I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I purchased a backup battery for the Droid - the specific battery from Motorola for the Droid. I plugged in the AC Adapter to the wall, and then the USB cord to the phone, then walked away. Four hours later, the phone indicated "Connect the charger," and the Droid only showed a five percent charge. This made no sense. So, we put this new battery in to my husband's Droid, and his Droid showed that this new battery was at a 50% charge. I then put the new battery back in to my phone, and connected my Droid to the Multimedia station, and then I too, got the indication that the battery was at a 50% charge - I thought, cool, it must have been a fluke. I walked away for a couple of minutes, then came back only to find that the four buttons on the bottom of the screen (return, menu, home, and search) were flashing, on, off, on, off - repeatedly.
I've also had problems with this unit crashing on me at least once a day no matter what I'm doing whether it's on a call, or adjusting a setting, checking email, or looking at photos. When I had my Hotmail coming in to the Droid, it was crashing many times a day, so once I removed the hotmail, it stopped crashing so frequently, but not completely.
I've read somewhere on this board that a lot of the Droids that were purchased the day of launch had problems. I am one of those that got the Droid on the day of launch.
I'm wondering if it's time to give up and swap out for a new Droid? Just so you know - I've also tried the *228 thing and was not able to do that at all - I got some type of pre-recorded message that the system wasn't able to initialize my phone or something like that. Yes, I tried option 2.
