I have had my droid 2 for about a month. I absolutely love the phone but little by little I am starting to have many problems with it.
1) I know all smart phones have poor battery life, but not only does mine have poor battery life, it seems to actually drain the battery rather than charge it sometimes. I plugged my phone in and it had 30% battery left. I fell asleep (and yes I checked to make sure it was actually chargnig). expecting to wake up to a fully charged phone, it was down to 5. I took it to work plugged it in toa different outlet witha different charger, and it totally died. Once I got it to charge a lttle while it was off, it restarted and then charged totally fine. This has happened more than once, but now I have learned if the battery is draining rather than charging, to just restart it and it will charge fine. I also notice the phone tends to get very hot even when not in use as if something is running on it even when I am not using it. Regardless, I have to charge my phone 3 times thruoghout the day and I do not really even use it that often.
2) My phone freezes from time to time and I need to pop the battery out to reset it.
3) This is the most annoying one. I am constantly getting double letters with my pull out keyboard. Sometimes in texts, ALWAYS on my facebook statuses. I can deal with the dying battery because i alwyas have a charger with me, I can deal with the freezing, but the double letters is REALLY frustrating.
4) Recently I left the area and went on a trip with my students. We were in a major city so I did not expect to have signal problems, however several times while on the trip, myself and anyone else who had a droid of any type had no signal, from Verizon? I have never had this problem.
I am about ready to reactivate one of my old phones. Is my phone just a dud? Any idea how I can fix any of these?
