New LG Chocolate VX8550 freezes and black strips on screen

I've had my first problem with the new chocolate today! I had to go get a new one. It kept freezing up and had little black strips going down the screen! so i guess theres going to be more problems with the new ones than the old ones

It also didn't send my messages and I was upset cuz I only had it for 2 weeks. now I have a new one today

wow.i am having a similar problem.i cant post a link to my post b/c im new but it is in the lg forums and its called "refurb phone acting funny.could it be the battery?"

or you could just search for posts by cduval07

2 weeks? that doesn't seem right.

Did you get a warranty?

Oh great! Lets all hope Verzion fixed this problem on the 8550 and you just happend to get a lemon by accident.

hahaha well guess again.I was recording yesterday and my new chocolate I just got froze up again! so what are the odds of that? I don't know what to do i've been up verizon 3 times in less than 3 months and I don't want to have to go up again It feels like a broken record!
so What do you think I should do?
Thanks a bunch!=)

Go back to Verizon again. They're bound to replace it for ya you would think.

yea they did. the next time it happens i'll go for a phone less high tech

I hear ya on that. Sometimes less is more.

I've had the same or similar problem already. I've had my phone all of 4 days. I was trying to replay a video I had recorded. It just stopped and the black lines appeared. I couldn't do anything, it was completely locked up. The only way to get it working again was to remove & replace the battery.

my chocalete does the same thing and i hope to return it very soon
