I'm a tad frustrated. Now before going into detail on what else bothered me and what i was originally writing 15 minutes ago Im going to explain a very frustrating issue i just had with IE.
So I'm sitting down waiting for my wife to get out of her Doctors appointment and I'm writing the thread on my icon. Everything is working great. Wife gets out of the appointment mid post and I figure i'll finish it when i get home. Turn the screen off and drive home. When i go back to my post that i was previously writing in the keyboard will not stay open for me to continue what i was writing. opens up and immediately closes back down. I then moved to my computer to finish this post...
I have been having some issues that I can't seem to pinpoint that are driving me nuts. To start off is with the GPS/Here maps and drive. Between the actual app being clunky and giving you last minute directions. I've missed countless turns due to the arrow just straight up freezing on the map and refreshing after I have missed the turn. I tried waze and seem to have similar clunky issues. Also Here maps and Bing never really work together. I guess they suspect if i put anything into Here Maps I have an exact address because it cannot find anything based on the name of store or company. I see that there is a Google Maps app in the store but don't really know if i can trust it since it is done by a company that isn't even google...
Battery Life has been sub par. Surfing the web for about 20 min. Not even constantly opening new tabs, just reading articles brought me down 25%. This is also after i went by the battery guide on the forums about extending the life of the phone. Its just rather disappointing.
Heat Issues: Now whenever it came to heat issues I understand doing things like gaming, streaming videos, and the camera can make the processor get going and heat up some. But during that 20 minutes of strictly web surfing the bottom right corner was getting hot enough to feel through the otterbox. I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue or not but its kind of concerning when i think about the processor possibly burning itself out and causing my WP experience to worsen.
Reboots: So far I have had 3 known reboots. One was after sending pictures via text and the other two was while the phone was sitting on the table screen off, no apps running, just sitting there. Im concerned as the phone ages things like this will happen more often and get worse.
Other than these issues the phone runs very smoothly. I really enjoy the WP OS and i feel 8.1 will make everything even better. All of these things coming together are making me iffy on keeping this phone though. I have 4 more days left to choose to switch to a completely different phone. Ive dealt with a horrible razr maxx for the past year and a half with poor battery life, locking up constantly and excessive hardware issues. I choose this phone to get away from that. Something clean, simple and strong.
If anyone has some advice on the situations I am dealing with i would greatly appreciate it.
