First I heard of that. May want to swap it out unless you have an app that is causing a conflict.

screen freeze during the phone call

Count me in the same boat. It has happened three times to me this week. Each time I was running multiple apps (ex. Pandora and browsing, playing a game, etc) when I received the call and spoke for a long time >15 minutes. Also, only happens when my girlfriend calls lol.
Phone screen would stay black after call, but the buttons on the bottom would light on or off when pressing power. Even trying to turn off the phone by holding it down didn't do anything. Had to pull battery....(flash backs of bb storm)
I spent hours playing and tweaking with my droid so it would break my heart to swap my droid.

I fixed this problem, basicall you go to Verizon store or call to Verizonwireless Teck. support, they will reset (formated) the phone for you. after reset (formated) your phone will be fine. It happen because you download application, and some application doesn't correspondence with droid phone. that why.

My device is doing the same thing. I was on it for a long time (35 mins) and now it won't respond. Black screen lit keys.

Say it isn't so

Let's get that reset sequence...eh?

 

[wonlee]

yes, get the reset, than you will fine.

 

[cereal killer]

It seems to happen only on lengthy calls

 

[cereal killer]

yes, get the reset, than you will fine.

won have you talked on the phone since then for an extended period of time?

 

[wonlee]

yes, like more than 20 minute so, I had same problem, after reset the phone it's gone

 

[wonlee]

yes, after reset, I talked on the phone more than 30 minutes, many times. and there is no problem. just call the Verizonwilress, ask Teck. support to reset it. and you don't have to worry about data transfer becuase all your date in your Google account.

I guess you're referring to the old (remove battery, one finger salute gesture....point finger at hardware guy....no, point finger at software guy) issue.

Sayin'

Did they have you go into your settings and do the reset? Is that what you are referring to?

 

[wonlee]

not your phone setting, basically, you have to formatting (factory resetting). you can't not do by yourself, only authorize Verizon store or you can call the verizonwireless. they will resetting your phone. you will lose all application after reset.
