I've had this problem occur a few times now, and in both circumstances, it's resulted in the loss of data, either composed TXT messages or e-mails (very, VERY annoying) So hopefully someone knows what maybe causing this:

The first time it happened, i was composing an e-mail (hotmail), and 1/2 way through composing the email, the screen went brighter (as if it was charging!), i ignored that, thinking i was just imagining it, then when i came to send the e-mail, every time i pressed send (either via the softkey, or by using the screen) it just did nothing... So i decided to save the email in the drafts folder, and to reload 'messaging' and trying again.

When i went back to the today, screen, the fonts had turned white, and everytime i tried to load ANY app, it came up with popups, telling me that the program was unsigned :/ Also, it was acting as if the shift button was pressed, because if i tried to select ONE email/txt, to open it, it just selected a whole bunch instead, and refused to open them!

After a soft reset, i could use the device as normal, but ANNOYINGLY, the saved e-mail in the drafs folder, had magically disappeared.... REALLY, REALLY ANNOYING!

The same thing happened, when i was composing a TXT message as well... refuses to send, then goes weird.. reboot........ all gone!

I don't have any non-standard software installed, and i remember encountering this problem on my previous MDA Pro.......

I'd be VERY grateful if someone could post any theorys as to what the hell is doing this.... i thought it might be a low-memory issue, but i've checked, and it all seems fine.


Thanks in advance (sorry for the length of this post!)

Never had that. Try hardreset, not install anything, test it a lot and if it still happens, return your unit.
