I would guess the elevator and aileron problem stemmed more from the lack of changing over to the correct model before takeoff--rather than some cell phone "re-programming."
Personally, I don't like phones--period. I hate them. I especially hate cell phones. I have one, and it stays in the truck always. Every now and then I'll check to see how many calls I've missed over the past week or so

, but other than that, I don't get it out and use it. My brother uses his all the time, and there has been no problems whatsoever with it!
