Using Bluetooth?
That did it for my phone every times, but only when I used the microphone that built into my car Bluetooth system. It's good thing I hardly ever use it because my car Bluetooth system is horrible so I just use the phone or Bluetooth headset.

I put it in my cart but I think I am going to convince my wife that we *need* that JBL one with charger.

Wow I think maybe my phone killed my SSD. My laptop shut itself off the moment I plugged the USB cable in, and it didn't start back up until I swapped in my old hard drive.
Also while writing this post my phone has spontaneously exited out to the home screen 4 times despite my fingers being nowhere near the Windows key or the back key. Mega frustrating.

Pretty sure that's a coincidence
It's possible you weren't hitting the Win key. That's what happens when an app crashes as well.
Also, sometimes an app will get into a funny state where when you launch it, it immediately crashes (rinse & repeat). If I had to guess, it's probably some poor error handling/clean up. The OS probably thinks it's still an active app from the prior crash, and reloads in the bad data that was cached.
Regardless, a soft reboot usually fixes the issue. Though if it remains, deleting and re-installing should work. Obviously the worse case scenario (assuming the app itself doesn't have a serious bug - and it's only your phone that seems affected), is that you have to do a hard reset. Usually that's not the case though.
if you wanna buy a pair, amazon wont let you buy 2 of the same color.
these older models can pair up for stereo Bluetooth and offer double the battery life of the newer model. The only feature the newer version has over this older model is a rubberized rugged design.
Yep.
You could always buy the 2nd at full price or simply wait until there's another sale.
I threw a different color in my cart which amazon allowed but I decided against it. My GF is already complaining I have too many gadgets everywhere.

Yeah I'm hoping the SSD was just a random crash but not turning back on is pretty scary.
As for spontaneous exiting from an app, the only time it happens is with IE. Is there a way to reinstall that?

Just got back with my new phone after doing the exchange. This one seems to run ALOT cooler and also it may be my imagination but the battery doesn't seem to be dying as fast.

Yes.
Your with Rogers right? I'm wondering if I should do the same. Did they give you any grief?

nope it was no problem at all. I was 14 days from purchase ... I think you have 30 days to exchange.
(and yes Rogers)
Cool. I got mine on the 14th so I think I may go in tomorrow.
Have you tried a soft reset (ie. reboot)?

It hasn't ever happened consistently except for the post where I mentioned it. So I've never felt the need to take steps to correct it. What exactly is the difference between a soft reset/reboot and a hard one? Which one is holding down the power button and then swiping down?
Also SSD started working again yaay. Wonder what that was all about. I need to get better control of my technology.

Anyone else noticed any creaking sounds from their phone? Mine makes a click near the sim tray if I press there, like its not totally flush. Also the lower left side creaks if I squeeze there, noticed it when taking a picture as your thumb rests here when you press the hardware camera button. The back of the phone also creaks if run my finger around it. Is this normal? I kinda though it was some super hard shell.
Found a thread on the top part being a bit loose here. Mine is not that bad though.

Thanks
, I probably would have never noticed that, :lolEdit: I don't think it is a big deal.
Thanks
LOL, yours too? :/
Gah, I am OCD'ing like crazy over this now.. sigh.
It is just noticeable if I press the screen in the upper left. Maybe it has something to do with the placement of the sim slot. If the rest of your phone is fine, I wouldn't work about it.
The creaking on the lower left bothers me more. Notice it every time I use the camera.
Are you going to try an exchange. I was going to just because of heat and the wonky battery. Worried that the Rogers I went to will not have any stock though.
I dunno. See how I feel in a day or two. Worried I may get one with battery issues. My battery has been fantastic on this thing so far.
Not sure what I will do either. Kt hasn't been that bad. The heat is the most noticeable thing, but that may be normal in cases.

Did you try Uno Clock?
yeah, too bare.
just wish there was something like the HTC tile with the clock on it like the 8x has

The first 920 I had dropped off of my nightstand and hit the metal frame of my bed. After that the lower right corner had a small dent and there was a noticeable gap between the case and the screen surround right under the SIM slot. However, pressing hard on the case on the top left corner popped it back together nicely, with no more creaking.
I think it'd be hard to do because background tasks can't run as often as it would take to keep a clock relatively up to date. HTC probably has access to something special.

So this is weird. Plugged my phone in for charging overnight and this morning I am only at 50%. I am on a charger now so maybe I was an idiot and didn't have it plugged in all the way or idk. I'm gonna try again tonight with the charger from the box and see what happens. The shitty thing is I ordered off bestbuy.com and bet the exchange process would be hell. I also have the accidental plan
A 'soft reset' is simply a reboot.
A 'hard reset' is actually a reset to default. Basically reformatting it and starting over.
Put another carriers sim in it. See what happens.
Too late, I did and exchange, :lol
Not sure about the battery yet, but it seems more solid and doesn't click in the upper left. The phone is a later batch than my other one as well.
Was it easy to swap? Thinking I may try after work. Noticed I also have a yellow tint when screen is white like gaf.
Hope they have stock.antiquegamer

It's plotting against you. Kill it with fire!
It seems you have something running in the background. How long have you have the phone. I find it take few days of usage for phone battery to adjust and calibrated. Also how is the signal strength in your home. My battery is slightly worst when I am home because we have poor signal in my house.
I make sure I don't have anything in the background. Its an ocd thing I even had with the iPhone.
mobile signal is fine in my house too.
lowered screen brightness, screen sensitivity, told the phone not to look for LTE, the lot.
mmmm...concerning.

I posted a while back that the wireless charger works through a thick notebook. Well this guy stuck his charger under his desk and bamm, wireless charging through furniture. I now wish I had bought more of those Energizers for cheap. I'm going to strap one of my chargers into my home entertainment cabinet at home later.

The Rogers I went to was pretty good (McKnight and 52nd, which is the store I got it from). Poor battery was my main issue I went off of , as well as heat (not really much of an issue) and the clicking in the corner. Took about 45 minutes. They had to call tech support on their end, but it went smooth. Could have been lucky with the guy I dealt with as well.

If I have known how awesome wireless charging is, I would have order a few too and bolted one to the underside of my desk.
