[Q] Hardware issues or software quirks?

[link68759]

Super sensitive touch:
Sometimes car keys work, other times they don't. I have thick gloves- doesn't really work consistently there either. It's weird- I can use the screen a few times with metal devices then they no longer work until I toggle the sensitivity setting.

Speakers:
The on device speakers pop when I change volume (while music is playing). This actually happens on my Windows 3.1 Compaq computer (except it happens there when no music is playing)! Interesting that such an ancient problem has come back to haunt me... It can be hard to hear in certain songs, but in a soft, slow song it is easily heard.

Colors/Rendering:
A couple times now, I noticed that my screen has misrendered colors. Like, I'll be typing something, and the entire screen becomes paler, as if the contrast were turned up high (as in, *actual* contrast, not "high contrast" mode which just changes the colors to black and white). It would change back within seconds. Is this the "daylight" mode or something?

Is something wrong with my device or is this normal...?
Thanks. I only have 13 days to return it for another.

I've experienced the first two problems.

I only experience the second problem with music on my sd card.

As for the third, are you typing with the phone held horizontal, and possibly have your finger over the light sensor at the top near the front camera, this will cause the brightens to go down.

You can change the screen sensitivity. They say when it is on high u can use it with gloves.

No, it was in portrait orientation at the time. Hasn't happened since...

You always get these kind of quirks with new hardware software, mine has random reboot issues. I'm sure they will be ironed out. You always have your 2 year Nokia Warranty, i'd stick with it its a great device.

It's a question of 'does mine have hardware defects and should I get another' rather than getting a different phone altogether. It would be easier to walk into an AT&T store and walk out with a new phone than to go through a warranty process (you are allowed to do this within 14 days). I think I've determined these are all software bugs though, so that shouldn't be necessary.
