Default Anyone else had to replace their 900 more than once already?

Starting to wonder if i should stick with the 900 or go to a titan II.

My first Lumia 900 had an issue where when people called me they would get an echo and feedback. AT&T replaced the sim card several times with no success, replacing the device fixed the issue.

now, on my second Lumia 900, the speaker seems to randomly stop working. The keys during texting will stop making noise, ringtones aren't audible, and music isn't audible either. Sometimes, before the sound goes out completely it will start to stutter or lag. I've had mixed results in whether or not a restart of the phone fixes this issue. I also find that they auto rotate on the phone is not very accurate either.

Anyone else having these issues? possible a firmware update can fix this? I have only a couple of days left to return this for another 900 or go to a Titan II and i'd have to return this one to get another lemon.

Pre-ordered mine. Picked it up on 4/6. Never had a data issue or the the issues you describe. I do experience the "phone not waking with camera button", which a soft reset always fixes. Checked diagnostics and the button responds fine, so I know it's software. No purple hue. The back button occasionally (1 in 10) opens the multi-task screen, but again this appears to be a timing/software issue. The vibration sound is different, but that doesn't make it bad. Just different. Overall, pleased with my phone and certain that Nokia will deal with these little nits shortly.

We all know that not every phone is perfect. I don't think you're talking about that. Reasonable people have reasonable expectations.

I've replaced mine once. Not even my request...walked into my AT&T store to show my wife something...and the guy that sold me the phone asked to see it. He did something...and said, let me replace it. Apparently the vibrater was loose,,,or rather, more loose than it should be. I didnt notice it.

I did not have data connect issues. The purple screen impacts me only if I switch to low light...which I do not and most likely never will do. I do have a wifi data issue...but the impact is rare.

The guy next to me at work has the Titan II. He likes it...but its too big for me. I can tell he's not way overjoyed with it....but it suits his needs. We both work in a place that does Mobile software....so we both know our phones have a shelf life of...until the next big thing.....so most problems, for me...are almost always liveable....
Regards

kev.schu,

I did not have any of your problems. I started a thread about my purple screen saga. I went through three phones. Actually I think 8 were tested but I only had three in my possession when I left the store. Your sound issues seem a little outside the norm. That is not a quirk I have really heard about. I would be kind of inclined to seek a remedy.

I was bothered about my purple screen but others are not. Some people are bothered by the rattle but I can live with mine. It does sound ridiculous compared to other phones but it's not a deal breaker for me. Otherwise I'm happy.

Let me get this straight you don't have a phone with this OS. You don't like this OS, but yet you are always hanging out in this OS' forum.

I went through six devices. But it was because of the vibrate rattle. None of them had any other issue with the exception of the purple hue on my latest one. Being that it's software related I rather stick it out with this phone and have an issue Nokia can fix, than be stuck with the rattle. I'm telling you, my girlfriend and I got the same phones on the same day, hers was quiet, and my first five devices clicked like the world was coming to an end on vibrate. I would ask reps, and other customers in the stores and NONE of them had the problem. I guess since I kept taking the ones with the rattle before they were able to -_-

What do you mean by "clicked?" Mine buzzes like a small electric shaver. It only "clicks" when you change from photo to video in the camera. But it's just one audible click. I've heard the rattle varies from phone to phone. It's allegedly not an all or nothing deal.

Let's see, this is my 3rd one. My first one went into a boot loop when I ran the update from my Mac, I am guessing I may have done something wrong being it was my first experience with Windows Connector. My second one had the the purple hue and this one is perfect (keeping my fingers crossed).

None of the three had any other issues. Tomorrow is the end of my 30 days and there is no other device out there that I want over my Lumia.

It clicked... Like click click lol, when it would begin to vibrate, and on short vibrates like with the ringer, it was just clicking...

I haven't had to replace mine, but my dad has had to have his replaced four times now. Once for echo and feedback issue when on calls, twice for purple screen and once for the rogue voice control popping up at random times even when the phone is not in use.

After playing with the phone some more it turns out it is some sort of short circuit issue. Whenever I put any sort of pressure on the back of the phone the sound would stop. This also meant that even setting it on the table on its back, would make the sound stop working at times. I took the phone back showed them the problem and replaced it.
