Do I just have a run of bad luck?

I like my TP, don't get me wrong. But I do have a few issues, and I was wondering am I the only one?
First, this is my third, second one because my stylist keeps falling out, and the auto turn on feature keeps breaking on my stylist. My other one I replaced was because the screen would start turning on it's own(no I do not software to help screen rotation)
Now this phone keeps shutting off on it's own, say it I hit the button to turn off the screen, or if I just close the slide, or h#ll even if I just leave it alone for awhile.
Sprint is now wanting to charge me to swap it out, Has anyone else had this problem?

Sounds like you do have some bad luck. I would not let sprint charge you for another phone.

Are you running the stock ROM or have you flashed?

Re: Do I just have a run of bad luck?

Nope, you're not the only one, I'm going to be up to 5 very shortly here.

1st (lasted 3 weeks)- Earpiece stopped working, home key was raised so far I almost ripped it off taking the phone out of my pocket
2nd (lasted 3 months)- Hardware keyboard stopped working one day
3rd (lasted 5 weeks)- Data stopped working, Sprint couldn't reprovision, offered to replace
4th (lasted 3 weeks)- Hardware keyboard died over a period of 4 days. This one is my current, and I'm calling customer support AGAIN to get this replaced.

Re: Do I just have a run of bad luck?

I have had 3 TPs, one didn't hold my STYLUS, returned. one i cracked the screen, insurance covered it. now im on my third. all 3 have had the screen-turn-on-at-random-times problem, pretty annoying when trying to fish it from my pocket and screen-mashing all the buttons.

Whats worse is when the TP2 comes along, sprint and htc are going to basically cease development and troubleshooting the TP.

Wow you all have some crappy luck. I got mine when they first came out. I still have the same one. No issues still.

Re: Do I just have a run of bad luck?

def not the only one. I'm on my 3rd. I got one I think in Nov it was right when they first came out. That lasted till Feb when the screen didn't want to rotate by itself when the keyboard slid open and then at the end the keyboard stopped working on and off. Sprint replaced it no charge - Got a brand new one out of the box manufactured feb 08. Didn't even last a month and the keyboard just stopped working. Now I'm on my 3rd. My 3rd is a refurb manufacture date of 12/17/08 and refurb date of 03/09/09. So Far it's been better than my last 2 phones so we will see how long this one lasts but your def not alone. Both times sprint didn't hesitate to replace it so that's good. The only thing I don't like is both times they had to order it because they didn't have it in stock but both times they called me next day and it was in so can't complain 2 much.

Re: Do I just have a run of bad luck?

I am running the stock rom. I have a few cabs on there, but nothing major. I have even done a hard reset, and went a week with out adding the cabs, and it still did it

Re: Do I just have a run of bad luck?

Ok so here is the thing. I just had to have my TP swapped again, cause the switch in the stylist channel broke AGAIN. This time my Store gave me grief over how many times I have swapped it. So am I the only one who is having this problem?
