Until now, I was very satisfied with my brain new HTC-TouchPro 2 bought in june 2009.
but since a few weeks, it turns off untimely ?? it seems to be related with vibrations or little shocks : it happens when it moves , in the car or in my bag, or when closing the keybord with a little click/shock. It happens more and more frequently and became a real problem because I miss number of calls... thanks in advance for your advices and suggestions to fix this problem JR |
