From the way it sounds, mine started doing this yesterday. Everytime i turn on the phone, theres just a backlight and nothing else. well the only way i noticed to get it to work, atleast until i can get a new phone is, to leave it slid up because it wont do anything if its closed or slid sideways. And while it slid up, I either have to call it from my home phone or recieve a text message. I'm not sure why but that made the screen come on so I could atleast check everything. It doesnt always work but it does most of the time. I hope this helps. Just play with and figure out what it takes to get your screen on. I'm not sure how to permanently fix it though.

Pantech Matrix Drops calls

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!

Short Battery life, Randomly shuts down, and more...

sounds like the battery is shot. Get a new battery and fully charge it. I try to charge my phone more off of a power outlet and not the cigarette lighter in a auto. The battery will last longer that way. something about cigarette lighters. As far as the messaging and failed calls goes. up grade your tower signals. contact your cell phone company and get the number for upgrading the towers.

Just got an exchanged pantech duo

the issue may not be your phone or the battery. It may be the charger. My friend and i both have a pantech duo. She was always having problems with her battery, draining just after two hours. The funny thing was that whenever she used my charger, the battery kept charge. I tried my phone out on her charge, and found that it didn't keep the charge either. So we went to the store and found that it wasn't the phone, it was the charger.  Often the charger can mess up the phone. Order a new charger, and that should be the solution to your phone. (:
