I've had the Droid 1 for about a year. In that time I've had three replacements for defective phones and one insurance replacement. My most recent was received in late July and is the one I currently have.
Today I received a text and when I went to retrieve it, every single message was gone. (Stock app.) No warning about low memory, nothing. I am dealing with some critical issues right now and this is extremely frustrating, and unfortunately is not the first time the Droid 1 phone model has erased every message I have.
Also, since the Android 2.2 update I have significant home screen icon delay. I have to swipe the screen to the left or right then back again to get the icons back.
My most recent call with Verizon asked me to hard reset the phone which I can do over the weekend after I ensure everything is backed up. The next step after that is another replacement phone.
I need to know from others if I should pursue a different Droid, like the 2 or X if I can get one. I don't care if I have to pay the going rate for the phone on another 2-year contract, I just feel that with these issues I am very frustrated with the phone. Or is the 2 and/or X buggy as well?
I use some of the features of the phone and a few fairly standard apps but I am definitely not a high-use phone person, so I really don't think it's any weird apps I've downloaded (I maybe have 10 and I install them carefully with plenty of time in between to troubleshoot any potential issues). I do like the Droid and certainly I understand there may be buggy software at times....but losing all of my texts repeatedly? My phone not ringing when someone has called me? Getting weird "authentication failed" messages for gmail when I have no issues getting into the app?
I would sincerely appreciate any thoughts people have on the matter. Thank you.
