So, the Samsung brightside I have had for about 6 months is really glitched out right now. I turn it on and it spazzes out and opens up applications I didn't hit. The back button shuts th Phone off and changes the master volume (wtf) whenever I send a text it types in 4678 and sends it to the person. It won't let me type, and when I try to view pictures it immediately goes to camera mode and freezes until I try to remove the battery. Any help or explanation to this would be great! Thanks in advance!

Also, it would be good to try and do a reset on the phone. Take it back to factory settings, I've had tons of phones and that usually works. If it's glitching out like that, then it;s usually a software problem. Also, in my personal experience, phone manufacturers don't really take pride in their basic phones like they used to. It's all about the smartphones now. So it's not uncommon for the basic phones to poop out at a year or less. Sad but true :(

They should hand you a replacement or possibly do a swap for a phone of equal value so you don't have an issue with Samsung again. However, they do make some quality items this is probably just one of those things. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
