Help! dropped phone 2 weeks ago, now having software problems

ok so ive had my sprint tp2 for a few months and have been running all different custom roms since the unlocker was released, with absolutely no problems.

about 2 weeks ago, i dropped my phone and it hit the concrete sidewalk, no physical damage except a little scratch and the battery cover popped off.

ever since then ive been having software issues with all the diff roms ive been flashing. the next day after dropping, mightyrom 11/25(which was the most stable rom ive used) froze up and when i restarted it did a hard reset all by itself. after a few days of use, it was working fine until my email account just vanished all of a sudden. i then tried mrx rom which worked fine for a few days until yesterday when my battery died. after charging it and restarting, i had all types of problems with a program called tarecord.exe(i think). the phone wouldnt start properly so i reflashed to mightyrom 11/25. after a few hours of use, my email account vanished again!

aside from the problems listed, the phone has run as usual. is this just a coincidence, or did i possibly damage some internal hardware, maybe the memory?

if so, how could i present this to sprint to get it fixed under warranty?

thanks in advance guys

Sounds like it could be some internal damage. If you have insurance take it into a repair center and have them do some tests on it. Worst case, you would get a refurbished unit...as long as you have the insurance on your plan.

Re: Help! dropped phone 2 weeks ago, now having software problems

I had the same problem with a Mogul that I "dropped" some time ago. I say it like that because mine went out a car window at about 45 MPH and hit the street. Tough little guy worked for a couple of months afterward, until it finally started acting up, very much in the same way that you are describing. I ended up replacing it.

Good luck.
