Thank goodness I'm not the only one with this problem! The people at the store and at Sprint acted like I was crazy.
I got sent a refurb from Sprint last week that has the new ROM and the text bug. I went into the store complaining about it, and the manager there called tech support at sprint, which then went to advanced tech support, and finally to some other level. I was told that it was just how the new ROM worked, so it was a "non-device issue". Of course, I countered with the fact that "the one I bought didn't have this bug" but basically got nowhere -- I was told to just wait for sprint to release another update, with no time frame or even assurance one would be coming (FAT CHANCE). It really is a frustrating bug. And this phone STILL overheats and quit charging within 15 minutes of a phone call at my house, and has locked up about every other day. =\
And what I heard somewhere else, is that this is how WM works in certain builds. Can anyone confirm if this ROM has a different build of WM than the last one?
I mean, I CAN unlock the phone and put a cooked ROM on it no problem, but we're technically not supposed to do that, and it can invalidate warranties and such. I know, relock it and send it back, but really, sprint ought to fix this one.
On second thought, I guess could download the old stock ROM and put on here, too, but I'd like to force some kind of action out of Sprint at this point. Since the problem remains after a hard reset, and another TP will have the same problem should they do an exchange, maybe I can weasel a TP2 out of them?
