samsung impression problems- help!!

I have had my samsung impression for about a month and i think the ghost texts you are talking about is the same thing my phone does. I find that when my inbox gets full it is set to delete one message making room for another. It only does this though when it is 100% full. My phone will vibrate or ring like a have a text but really it will just be deleting the oldest text in my inbox. I know it gets annoying but i really do like it because sometimes when i'm at school i don't have time to delete my inbox. The problem i am having with my new phone is that i accidently dropped it once and now the phone doesn't recognize when my keyboard is slid out. I am going to take it back and get a new one but i think even though the phone has some problems it is totally worth it. My dad has so many more problems with his iphone so i'm happy with my situation. Plus the color and graphics are so vivid and amazing compared to any other phone.

i have had the impression for a couple months as well and this is actually my second one. i got my first replaced within the first week b/c it stopped vibrating what so ever.
anyway, i also i have the problem with having to restart my phone to get it to send texts. also i have a severe problem with delayed text messages. sometimes i wont get them for about 15 or 20 minutes.
and has anyone had a problem with it randomly turning itself off, even while charging? then when i try to turn it on, it wont come on till like the 7th attempt. one time i turned it back on and i had a blue screen come up with a red dashed frame around it, it said something about a boot up vs. 5 needed or something. it was really weird. the only way i got the phone back to relative normalcy was to take out both the battery AND the sim card. it kept the problem screen without a battery.

Its really aggrivating

Does anyone have the same problem?

So I've had my impression since June 2009 and I didn't really have any problems at all. However I just grabbed my phone to charge it and the screen is black. There is a small strip of black paper this is showing when I slide my phone. I've tried taking out the battery, and turning it on and off to no avail. It worked 2 hrs ago and now this. I purchased this phone on ebay but I have the original box. Is there anything that can be done??

So on 10-17-09 the screen on my impression went black. I looked on the AT&T website that Monday morning to see if there was anything I could do. I called the warranty number and found out that my phone was still under warranty and that as long as it wasn't physical or water damage they'd replace it for free! They could mail it to you but if they find that is was physical or water damage they'd charge your CC $210..yikes!! So I opted to go to a warranty service center and they replaced my phone (w/ a refurbished one) with in 30 mins!! Unfortunately..All this and I didn't have insurance..I hope that this info helps some people out there. Our phones haven't even be out a year so you might be able to get a free replacement too....(my Pastor's twitter not mine http://twitter.com/edyoung his blog http://www.edyoungblog.com/)

i was texting one of my friends when the screen randomly showed a battery flashing and a little loading bar. Is that a problem if not what does it mean. It had been on the charger while i was texting and before i was texting.

Thee Samsung Impression is a piece of shit. Throw it away.

I just bought mine and Nobody can here anything I say, reception is terrible and i never had a problem with that

I have had the same texting problems as mentioned here. I complained and they sent me another phone. This phone does the same thing! It is so annoying and doesn't always allow me to text after turning it off and back on again! Another HUGE flaw with the Impression is the fact that when the time changes in the Fall and Spring, all calander entries go back an hour or forward an hour! I called and asked how to fix this and was told I had to manually change every time I had in my calendar because that was an overlooked problem by Samsung! I can not wait until I can get rid of this phone!

But here's a new one... My Samsung Impression won't make calls. When I try to make a call it will say "connecting" never "dialing" and I do not hear any rings then next thing you know the person on the other end will pick up and I'm connected to the call but I cannot hear them at all. Occasionally after about 5-10 seconds it will click and I can hear the person on the other end then have a normal conversation but most of the time I am not so lucky. They can still hear me but I get no rings and no voices on the other end. And if I receive a call most of the time I get a similar problem. I will answer my phone only to hear silence and the caller hears me just fine but if it doesn't fix itself within 5-10 seconds the call is useless and who's going to sit there and listen to me say hello for that long without hanging up. This problem makes my phone essentially worthless because trying to talk to anyone instantly turns into a game of phone tag until one of the calls works. I'm not extremely tech savvy so I can't say for sure if it's the Impression or possibly my service that is letting me down, but I do know I can text normally and I've never had this problem with any other phone before. Any suggestions other than just getting rid of my Impression?
