The battery indicator says I have plenty of juice but it just dies on me. Made me late for work this morning as I use my Q as an alarm clock. 
Just thought I would ask before I called Sprint and demanded a new phone which I really don't want since I have mine customized and just the way I want it! |
Hi TarHeelsRule,
I'm sorry to hear you are having some issues with your Q.
It might be premature at this point, but the answer is so far, no - we're having no problems at all. Your setup instructions allowed me to successfully connect my Q to my Roadrunner e-mail. Inbound and Outbound e-mails work great for me.
And we also got my wife's Q activated with a new number last night and finally got it setup as well. It seems to work perfectly every time. Although admittedly, I don't think we've tested the outbound e-mail yet on hers. I highly suspect it will work though since it does work so well on my Q.
Your Q just dying sounds likely to be bigger than a roadrunner e-mail setup. The only thing I ever had that was like that was when an SD card went bad on me (gave unpredictable results). Once I realized what it was causing the disruptions, it was easy to correct.
One other thought, as a "Plan-B", you could consider trying your Pocket Internet to access a web-based service to access your e-mail. For example, webmail.tx.rr.com,
www.web2mail.com are two that come to mind. Not sure how fully functional it will be on the Q, but it might be worth a try.
Hope that helps. If your Q continues to power down for no reason, I wouldn't hesitate to take it in for them at least have a look at it.
