UTStarcom PPC-6700 / XV-6700 / HTC Apache
Plagued by strange errors (hangs, degraded perfomance etc.)
Hi,
I purchased the UTStarcom 6700 on Telus a couple of weeks ago.
When this phone is working it is brilliant. Unfortunately I seem to be requiring at least 1 soft reset from out of the box.
The phone is only running the standard apps and I have not installed a mini SD card. I am, however, a true power user though I try not have more than 3 or 4 apps running at once (though I have got up to 7 or 8 according to Settings->Memory->Running Programs.
What typically happens is I am using a couple of pocket MSN apps., e.g. Hotmail and IM. I may be writing and e-mail or actively using IM (which I leave running for long periods as this seems to be necessary for Hotmail to detect new incoming e-mail).
At some point I will just start g...

Well hopefully Telus has a return policy. I know if I even had anything like half the problems you are talking about and still had them after a hard reset it would be back in the box and in the mail. How long ago did you buy it?

I purchased the phone about 3 weeks ago. I have since spoken to Telus and they are going to switch it out for another unit this coming Wednesday. I'll post my findings with that unit, hopefully it is not a software problem.

I have the 6700 from telus and I've never had any problems you've mentioned. I've had multipule aps going while surfing the web and on MSN all at once. I have a friend that is even heavyer user than i am and he's never had any of those problems. I've had to hit the reset button every once in a while but it's not really bad. only once every couple of weeks or so. I think you just got a bum phone. Happends once in a while.

So, I picked up my new phone from Telus last night. All was well until I was chatting on MSN about 40 minutes ago when the damn thing crashed and burned and required a soft reboot.
Very similar behaviour to the old phone, screens started breaking up. I am beginning to think this behaviour may also be correlated with MSN mobile experiencing problems.
Another *consistent* behaviour is that whenever the phone gets into problems the Settings->Memory->Main screen ceases to display the Windows Mobile 5 memory screen but instead displays the old Windows Mobile 2003 slider screen! This of course is very confusing as it reads only 0.03 MB allocated to storage and a negative number (-40.25 as being in-use!).
There is no doubt in my mind th...
