I bought a Pantech Matrix from one end user to another, no transfer of warranty no insurance nothing. Now a week has passed by and my phone is doing two weird things.
1) My phone will only hold a call for about 8-9 minutes before the battery door warms up and the call ends. (it doesnt shut off; the battery doesnt die, it just drops the call)
2) Whenever i use the text messaging and review the massage with the five-way key the phone restarts. i lose my current message but nothing else.
These symptoms are problematic but not crippling, any advice as to a chip or cap being damaged that might effect it? i took it apart and examined the pcb boards to some extent but i did notice the water markers were pink (showing water damage to the phone)
My daughter had a Pantech and to be honest they really ****. She had the same problems, I am an Electronic and Electrical Registered Engineer, and after taking it apart, testing the circuitry, and several other things, I sent it to a cell repair shop, who owed me money and we bartered it out . The official conclusion was a bad CPU, that costs almost as much as the phone. I layed it behind my tire and ran over it. Seriously!

I have centennial and I got the data package but I cannot watch youtube on my cell phone. It's a Pantech Matrix C740 and it's very frustrating. Everything else works but youtube.
