I have a different model, the new “Samsung Reclaim” Love the phone so far, but tonight it did the “loading messaging tile” thing that DM mentioned above. Just FYI, I fixed mine by doing the following:
1. *Remove* messaging tile from carousel
2. Power the phone off!
3. Power the phone back on.
4. Re-add the messaging tile (or whatever tile is freaking out on you)
After I did this, the messaging tile just popped up normal as it used to quick and easy.

(Just adding/removing tile or just power cycling did nothing, but the above method worked on my phone..)

Here’s hoping it stays fixed and that this info helps someone else!

I got this one no more than a month ago and from the beginning it was great and was something I was really getting use to. But as of about 2 weeks ago its been starting to act up really bad. Some of the issues are pretty popular in some of the conversations about the Exclaim here lately. Here are my issues.
1. When texting it will say message sent and will automatically return to home screen and when I access my text messages its not in there. Its supposed to save the entire conversation until deleted.
2.The notification light is blinking when it wants to and majority of the time I never have a missed call, voicemail, or text message.
3.Unlocking by itself and not allowing me to lock the screen back.
4. Freezing up. Distored screen. Locking up.
5. The tiles that are automatically set up like Facebook, MySpace, google, messaging, account, etc are not there anymore. If I select a tile it says loading messaging tile and nothing ever happens and I cannot access the link.
6. I had the weather and horoscope bubble on my phone and now it keeps telling me I don’t have enough memory when I have checked my memory and there is more than enough available.
I am currently or some time this week or weekend going in to Sprint to see what the problem is and what my options are. I cannot and will not do this especially when I am paying for services I cannot use.

The Samsung Exclaim has been giving me problems. I returned the first one thinking it was defective, but the next one I got is still giving me the Error #97 and the Qwerty Keyboard and number pad lights are still shorting! The sad thing is I really liked the Samsung Exclaim.

I wasn’t trying to be a smart@$, really want to know Microsoft’s connection with GrooveMobile and how it’s related to PlayForSure, PlayReady and pc backup.

@Chris

Thank you for that bit of information, so in theory:

1. Since Sprint is fully capable of identifying which paid songs have been PC downloaded, it should refund the fees collected, and turn around ask Microsoft to pay them back, or face a class action law suit by
the consumers ?!

2.Since both companies are sharing this profit, they could be charged with conspiracy?

Instead they just pocket the money and go on conducting business as usual. Does that not constitute fraud? I wonder if FCC knows about this conduct?

Thank You

Chris, what does Microsoft have to do with Groove Mobile?

The PC Backup debacle was really Microsoft’s fault more than anyone else’s. They intentionally made the feature untenable for anyone to use, as the company wanted to kill PlaysForSure technology, in favor of Zune.

About the only thing extra Sprint could have done, was send each customer a text message repeated times warning them.

Only after killing PlaysForSure did Microsoft realize the anti-trust nature of their actions. Unfortunately, rather than create open infastructure, or proliferate Zune’s platform onto other devices… Microsoft created PlayReady in the place of PFS.

Only difference this time, is that the marketplace is devastated, with only the likes of Real and Nokia even touching the technology.

@Don Louie

1. “The notices that pc backup was coming to an end a long time ago”,true, however it NEVER said that, “what you have downloaded, will stop working”!??

2.My Tv notices always said,”some special/live event is on”, again never a word of line up reductions by some “10 Channels”, as someone said earlier.

3.I visit 5 Cell/Tech and 5 News sites,every morning, SprintUsers.com is not one of them, maybe it should have been, again it is time consuming, I want a service I can trust, one that is dependable!

I meant “say attention” and when launching tv there was notices of changes.
