    issues with new droid

    Had new droid for almost two weeks now. After couple days had keyboard go unresponsive that would only be fixed by powering off and on. This has happened 3 or 4 times. Some normal force closes on things like browser and messaging. And a couple times when found wouldnt respond had to do battery pull to make show something on the screen.

    Is this normal problems people have? Should i have already brought it back to verizon? Any suggestions at all?

    Take it back and swap it out. FC of programs can be an issue, especially with some apps but the keyboard is def likely a hardware issue.

    Should be no problem in first 30 days right?
    It happens maybe once every other day hard to show.

    Are there issues swapping them out?

    Not usually. Go ahead and call CS first to have them note it on your account. That way when you go to the store they will see that it's a reported problem. Then even if they can't reproduce they should swap it.

    FC, or Force Close basically means that an app is stuck or frozen. By selecting to force close, you are making the phone stop the processes associated with that app. In many cases, the will start again on it's own quite soon.

    On the other hand, if the FC offers the option to "Wait," then it is actually called an ANR, or Application Not Responding. This basically just means that the app is working on something and can't complete your request.

    I would definitely return it for another. I don't think that my keyboard has EVER Force Closed...Most of the stock apps are pretty stable.

    The keyboard is almost def a hardware issue. Go ahead and get it replaced. But on your new phone try this:
    Swype keyboard available NOW (free)
    You won't open the physical hardly at all afterward.
