Don't Buy the Helio Drift! Pt. 1

Just bought a few days ago, this new Buggy phone gets stuck for about a minute when choosing the App or Game section of the phone. I've owned many, many phones in my lifetime and no phone has been as slow as the Drift in many sections. Check out the other parts of this video.

Yea this is actually a little old already. Ive had pretty much all phone services and this has been the worst, could be better now but I wouldnt know...

[skyntay]

it alwayz does this.. when u go 2 apps & games it freezes u have 2 take battery out!! hit me back.

[Tecmo]

Sell It! Thats what i did! and im happy now =]

[scottsdiego]

allright people when you have tons of games and aps on the drift it takes a little longet to load the menu sucha as accessing the GPS or Obopay features, loose some of the aps and games you dont actually use and the drift works fine...

[Tecmo]

Acutally I deleted everything and it was the same.

i have had a helio for over 2 months now. no problems at all! If your helio is defective and you get the protection program it can be replaced. I agree that CS is terrible, but if you have any larger issues i suggest contacting tech support directly -- very very helpful!

[Tecmo]

Tech support wasn't real helpful, they get mad at you if what they say doesn't work.

[hestable]

i think its just you

[darkwater94]

[ha11ha]

ohhhhh, this happened to me and I hated it with a PASSION. Especially when u mistakely press the right key (a shortcut for games) and you end up having to remove the battery and restarting the phone. But i wish i knew that when i still had it, now i have a blackberry with T-mobile.

[cuoremorei]

I still have my Drift and it doesn't do any of that. I've had it for a year now.

The biggest problem I have is that I use up all my available free space withing 4-5 months and have to sync my contacts and reset the phone. WTF????? there's no way of clearing cache! I called the outsourced tech support 3 times and they give me instructions how to do it, but it's for an updated phone or something because I simply CANNOT do it!!! I have yet to get the contacts to sync either.. which royally pissed me off when I had to manually enter all my numbers...

Anyone have this issue?

[AeroSS87]

I dig mine overall, my first one was glitched a thousand ways til it fell out of my jacket while riding my motorcycle. I still have a few problems but nothing horrible.

[seductivefresh15]

wow...i had a drift but it never did that.

[3CKOS]

my drift does that too and i also have a friend with a fin that does the same

[AnonymousMaverick]

there's an easy way to fix that. it's annoying, but all u have to do is delete google maps, and then reinstall it. the reason is because of google map's enormous cache. deleting the program removes it.

hey how do you get the phone to vibrate when u recieve a text message i swear its immpossible the screen just lights up or it will make a sound but thats it as for options
