    I have the Motorola Q and it is a complete piece of crap! I want a new phone bad but I don't want to sign a new contract and be stuck with my carrier any longer then I have to! But anyways, I have noticed reciently that whenever the screen is on there is a buzzing sound. And when it goes off the buzzing sounds goes away! Now most people would just send the phone off and pray they say its brooke and get a new one. But not me, my stupid carrier says it will take 2 months for them to find out what is wrong and they want to give me a even more piece of crap phone! Can someone please tell me whats wrong with my phone and how to fix it!

    provider may be the problem....could be having tower problems or something. you got insurance on it??? if so....drop it in the water....ruin it, and then go pay whatever your insurance offset is. i did that with one of my phones a year before last...........was drunk and fell into the lake!!

    wow I thought maybe you had one of the bid companies that use a sim card, with a sim card you can just get a new phone and sell the old one and just switch the sim card

    How long is left on your contract? I had issues a couple years back with a phone and still had about 9 months left on my contract. I told the company that they could fix my phone, give me a new one, or change my plan to the cheapest thing they had and I'd just pay off the rest of the contract and take my business elsewhere. Got a new phone and all was good. That was a national carrier but might work with the smaller guys too.
