Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and I'd like to know if someone can help me. In the past few days if I go check the weather on the phone, only the first time I go is fine (it automatically refreshes the info) but if I exit and go back it freezes on the same previous screen (the touchscreen doesn't work) and If I go to the news, movie listings, sports etc. I still get the frozen weather info. At this point I need to shut down the phone, wait a few minutes and restart. This way it would refresh the weather info but the the problem restarts. What the heck is happening with this brand new phone? I'm getting a little frustrated about this phone after I read a few posts on this forum. Thanks

That has never happened to me - I'd suggest you go talk to bell or telus (wherever you got it from)
Sorry I couldn't help you more.

This happens all the time for me as well.
I don't get a freeze as in I can't back out to the home screen I just can't get the weather and or news to update. I need to turn off and back on the phone then update. I do this 2-3 times a day as it's a feature I use lot's. This started after the new upgrade for this app. The new change was it auto updates the weather and news, but it seems to only do it once and then not work after.

I have a list created in the main Canada forum that states all of the little issues I have had... this one is probably my most annoying. Also why does it take so long to load that app and get the data? I run the weather app on my iPod and it is pretty snappy.

mine doesn't freeze it says checking for data then pops up telling me to try later.  Been like this for days, I am going to call Bell, if they tell me to remove the battery I will lose it since turning it off and back on is no different, IMO Wink

the best I can say is that if you refresh it more than once a hour you get lock up. Here in alberta that seems to be ok if you refresh it say every two to three hours. Good luck
