This is my second palm pre I have had. I returned the first unit just three days after I got it because the screen was so loose it was making a clicking sound when I put it in my pocket. (That was a huge ordeal and Sprint knows how pis*ed I was!)
This is a new phone and I've had it for 2 months I would say. I recently updated to webOS 1.2.1 and I have gotten many problems. First, and foremost, my palm pre's screen like to RANDOMLY come on. Just out of the blue. When I pull it out of my pocket, 80% of the time the screen is on. I make sure not to touch any buttons. It will do it when it is just sitting on my desk, also. I have noticed that the Ev symbol is always lit up as if I was accessing the data network when the screen lights up. It doesn't show the main screen like it would if you slide the phone up, rather, it shows the lock screen. The button still performs like it always has and I have never dropped this phone before. I'm not for sure what is wrong with it. I don't feel like driving 20 miles to the Sprint store to have them tell me "Sorry, can't help.. unless you give us $100!"
Another big problem is the battery. My friend has a palm pre also. When he takes his battery out, you can see a small piece of foam in the indention of the phone where the top of the battery hits the phone. My phone doesn't have that. I think this is one reason my battery unseats itself ALL THE TIME! I have noticed on webOS 1.2.1 that my palm pre really has a hard time figuring out what network it should be on wether it be roaming, EVDO, 1x, Sprint, etc. It is always changing on me even if the phone is sitting still in one area in a EVDO region. I have also notices with the webOS 1.2.1 that the phone gets pretty warm. Especially where the pins on the phone hit the Touchstone charger back cover.
What do you think I should do guys? Thank You.
