problem with my new AT&T 9800 torch( HANGS)

I bought a new AT&T 9800 torch but every time I use or work on it the phone hangs. At the moment I'm not in the states but the phone is unlocked. I'm thinking maybe its a software problem
Can someone help me?

Re: problem with my new AT&T 9800 torch( HANGS)

The easiest thing you can do right now, if you have your USB cord and access to a computer is a clean application load of your device software.

 

To do this you will need to first back up your device, then follow the link below for the steps to complete this.

Be sure to test the device before restoring any data to it.

 

Hope this helps.

Are you restoring data from a back up or an old device? If so try this:

 

1. Backup your device.

2. Wipe your device

3. Test to see if the issues are resolved.

 

Doing this will ensure that no user data is the cause of the hanging that you describing. If the hanging continues, then its possible software or hardware.

 

If the issue seems resolved, try restoring the following by doing an advance restore as seen below:

 

Items to restore:

 

Address Book

Content Store

Calendar

Memo Pad

Tasks
