Issues with Lumia900/WP7

[loomeea]

I received my phone today -- beautiful hardware, but I'm having some issues:

1. The ESPN app (by Nokia) crashes every time it starts to load. It initially had me go to the Marketplace to get an update... after the update, it crashes every time.

2. Launching various other apps have caused problems, too. For example, after using the device for a while, when I try to launch an app, it immediately sends me back to the Home Screen. Sometimes the app eventually loads, and sometimes it doesn't... when I reboot the device, it seems fine for a while and then this happens again. It's happening with the built-in apps, like Settings and Music+Videos. The "App Highlights" app causes the phone to reboot every time.

I haven't done anything to the device except set it up, connect to Zune, sync my music, and configure Wi-Fi...

Anyone else seeing these issues?

ESPN app working good for me. Haven't had any issues with any other apps yet.

Any suggestions for a remedy? I've reset the phone back to factory settings... not sure what else to try. The U-verse app starts, says "initializing..." then quits. Never crashes the phone, like ESPN, but never finishes loading, either.

Sync everyhing to Zune and do a hard reset, sync back.

Just did an online chat with AT&T tech support. They didn't have an answer and tried to blame it on the ESPN app (even though other apps exhibited the same behavior).

She suggested that I take it to an AT&T store to have them look at it.

Hope you uninstalled the applications and reinstalled using a fresh download from the marketplace.

My Bing keeps on popping up while I am in the middle of something. The screen freezes ( cant use capacitive buttons below) and then the Siri-Equivalent talks on it's own! Very frustrating @_@ Anyone had the same problem?

You are not accidentally hitting the search button, are you?

Thanks for the suggestion. I just uninstalled the ESPN app, then reinstalled it -- same issue loads for around 20 seconds then reboots the phone.

and espn app works flawlessly on my lumia 900. i suggest you take it back to at&t store and they will exchange your phone with a new one. also ask them for a free bumper since you had to go through all this

No sir, I am not. I left the phone on the table and it is doing bing and siri all by itself. Sorry I dont know what else to call the talking companion.

I am frustrated! It freezes up after it does that.

it could be software hiccup i would take the phone to a store and have it replaced and test the new one before you leave.

Is anyone's camera acting up? When I start the camera (from either the lock screen or the app list), the screen remains all black, and the side options (flash, etc) are grayed out and cannot be toggled.

I have not yet activated my phone, but my sim card came pre-installed in the phone.

Could this possibly be linked to the fact that I have a non-activated phone, or does this sound like my camera is faulty?

Thanks guys!
