Leanaunfurled 05/22/18 6:50:39 PM #1:	Did an update today and now I got this stupid thing. Phone says I'm connected to WiFi, only other thing Google turns up is this Interrupt Mode thing that I don't even have on my phone, and all of my sounds are turned on and working anyway. I'm not even appearing to be getting my freaking texts if my phone is on idle, too. I'll press the button, phone goes up, then BAM there are my text alerts and notifications from 5+ minutes ago. Frustrating me to high hell. Please help? --- Currently Playing: idkstuff https://imgur.com/jycEJAt https://imgur.com/iOC77WJ <cite>Leanaunfurled posted [p:901810135] in What the f...

Leanaunfurled 05/23/18 6:44:16 PM #33:	It's fixed now, yeah. It's strange though. At the Verizon store, the temporary SIM card used worked immediately on my phone (and when I tried my original SIM card in another phone, it was busted in that, too). Yet when I bought my own SIM card and went home with it, it didn't work, and I had to do a factory reset on it. It's working now, and I backed up my shit first so getting back to my usual wasn't a problem, but still weird. Muffinz0rz posted... Yup, the poison pill. They create these phones solely to ensure they crap out after two years or so, so you spend more money on another! Yeeep. Though I'll be honest and say my phone hasn't been doing too bad. Every so often it'll randomly restart itself out of nowhere, but that happens maybe twice a month? Speed is still fine, buttons and touch screen are fine, it doesn't have any freezing problems or anything. This is the first thing that's happened in just a little over two years.
