Phone Freeze , Lag, Touch screen unresponsive , Internet connection not stable

---

This is my second time bought an AT&T Samsung Focus, and again...it suck!!

My first Focus has the Network problem, returned it already to the seller..

Bought another one, and it gives more complicated issues...aaarrgghhh...

Phone very often Freeze , Lag when I swap between apps, Touch screen unresponsive , keyboard freeze and then suddenly typing on its own like crazy...Internet connection unstable..

I got the Focus still on Window 7, updated to 7.5 (7.10.7720.68) from Zune, thought it will fix the issues but it is not.

Can someone show me how to fix this ? Load custom ROM or whatever to make it works again? I'm going to sell this crap once it fixed

Sorry for my language..It's totally drive me crazy

I'm not aware of any 'custom ROMS' that are available for WP7 devices, since the various bottom layers have not yet been cracked, as far as I know.

That said, I'm not sure that the device is at fault, and definitely not the O/S. There are plenty of us around using the Focus (it was one of THE most popular WP7 devices ever) with no problems -- certainly not the ones you are experiencing.

Your signature/profile don't say where you are or which provider you are using -- but many of the problems you describe could be due to problems at the service provider end, not the device itself. Obviously it is frustrating when the phone does these things, but I'm not sure there is a quick fix available here for you.

BTW, this forum is for the Focus S -- there's a separate one for the original Focus unit.

Opss...Sorry... I must be crazy already

Please Mod, remove this to the Samsung Focus thread ?

I am experiencing similar issues on the original Focus and am scouring the forums for a solution.
I shall report back if I find anything.

I don't know if I'm allow to continue this thread as it is on the wrong section but this concern me alot and would appreciate any fix.

I found that there's Roger Rom, what I'm thinking is if it's possible to flash it to get a new fresh Rom installed and hope the problem would gone?
I read some thread on it but still not sure what steps should I do. Also if there's thing I should aware due to flash it to non AT&T Rom, maybe that I would not be getting an official update or whatever.

As long my focus is behaving correctly that is what I'm asking since I'm only using it to get my emails as a replacement of my blackberry. It freeze alot when I type and really annoying.

You could try that. For me, I want to avoid reflashing the ROM.
I have the Rogers ROM on my phone at the moment (it was a Rogers phone) and can assure you that they do provide the official updates (although no Tango yet).
If you're comfortable with the flashing process and don't mind losing all of your data, a fresh ROM could be a bit of a blanket fix.
