All of a sudden, my phone wont charge. Hopefully a battery pull will fix

In the last couple days, mine has started doing this too, when I delete multiple emails at one time. I'm not on any of the new releases yet and have't installed anything new in the last few days. Odd. The random reboots are also getting annoying.

On a side note, I returned my Tour to Vzw once for the trackball issue, and I'm getting ready to do it again due to the same issue. Fingers crossed.

My Tour freezes every few days....I have only had it for 6 weeks or so and this is my first BB. Should I go to Verizon and see if they need to do anything? V aggravating!!!

is there a reason as to why the tour doesnt do voice and data at the same time? i thought edge phones do that and I have the tour on verizon.. isnt that 3G? is this a carrier restriction?

Verizon's and Sprint's EVDO networks does not do VOIP to the handset. As a result, it has to lock out the data while a phone call is in service. It's not necessarily a limitation of the technology, but rather the implementation of the technology. At one point, VZW had plans to turn VOIP to handset on, but it appears they've moved past it and want to focus their efforts to LTE. In general, this is probably the right decision, even if it means our current generation of phones will never have this capability.

Is anyone else having problems with the Seidio 1600mAh battery? The only non-bb apps running are yahoo msngr and weatherbug (which I have always run before) and I went from 100% to 70% in 2 hours - light email - no phone calls. Charged it back past 90% - went to the gym - down to 65%.

Switching back to bb battery for now.

PS - (have phone set to 1XEV - not global)
