Multiple issues with new phone
#1
Hello!

So I got my phone yesterday and the excitement was well y'all know! Anyhow I followed the simple instructions the phone came with to get it started up. All good no problem. Once I got the basic start up completed I pretty much left the phone on the charger for the night (12+ hours) and it indicated it was charging but it never got past 86% charge.

Next the brightness won't stay where I set it and slides up and down until finally it just won't  stay illuminated (screen is black). But if I plug the phone in, it works. So on battery power... its whacky. I got an AT&T SIM installed (seems to work, I was able to call and receive calls) but for the life of myself and the fellow helping, I could not find a way to enter the APN. So I don't have access to the data plan...

Network connection, been trying to find a network connection protocol... not so much luck with that either.

I did manage to get a 600+MB update installed, I had hoped it would have resolved the screen issue. But now it seems to do it even when plugged in!? So I get this is BETA but I am kind of not sure where to go from here. Tips? Advice?
