If it's a refurb, I feel your pain. I look forward to the next refurb that becomes problematic weeks after taking it home. Still haven't taken mine in to get replaced; waiting to try Mango to see what if anything gets fixed, but I'm almost certain the issue is with the hardware. I'm also kinda hoping to get word soon on the 1.4 Nodo update, as I may get a 1.4 device as a replacement.
My issues so far:
Phone occasionally gets stuck in a simulated charge cycle where it turns on immediately after going to sleep and continuously plays the charging tone while the battery icon cycles between charging and discharging.
Passcode lock screen locks up on occasion, and often freezes on second or third digit for several seconds. Sometimes the wallpaper "curtain" will bounce on its own, or will allow me to swipe it upwards but then slam down before I can enter my passcode.
Phone will occasionally not wake from sleep, or wake up several seconds after the button is pressed
Calls occasionally fail at "Dialing" screen and network connectivity in general is slightly more finicky
Volume up button had considerably less travel than the volume down button for a couple of weeks, but this seems to have magically fixed itself.
LATEST: Touch screen stops responding phone zooms in a random spot in IE and when returning home will load IE immediately. Capacitive buttons stop working when this happens.
LATEST: Speaker stopped working. Headphones work; problem was corrected after power cycle.
All this on a non-unlocked Focus with no memory card. But hey, no random reboots. :/
If the next refurb exhibits issues, I'm talking directly to Samsung. I think this is the second refurb I've had, possibly the third.
