(I know this is under the wrong forum but i couldnt find one for the w595 so i do appologise) What happens is the phone screen will go white and vibrate to start with. It stays like this for around 20 seconds at most before the phone screen goes black for around another 20 seconds. Then the phone screen will reappear on my normal screen saying its serching for a signal and then it'll be fine as though nothing has happend. |

Hi Zara Ok, the first thing: W595 forum I cannot move your post, I would have to delete and you would need to recreate but that's a lot of faff. The problem you are experiencing sounds like a software one. Have you tried backing up the phone and performing a full master reset? This can sometimes 'kick' the phone back into action. Please ensure you back up the contacts first. You'll lose everything. Oh and it needs to be a master reset ALL. Next, which network are you on Another question, which country are you in Finally, you might need to take it to a service centre who may actually be able to firmware update while you wait if the master reset doesn't work. As a last resort, you could debrand the phone and put an entirely generic SE firmware on there. That, is up to you of course. Pete (I need JD) Graham ************** Damn you! Use forum search!!. |

Master reset = no warranty effects whatsoever Debranding = no warranty effects provided you play innocent and deny everything ;) Seriously, I've debranded literally hundreds of handsets now. It's cool, never affected warranty claims. However in your case I would go with Master Reset first, failing that get Vodafone to swap or repair your phone. They are very good - have always treated me with excellent service. Pete (I need JD) Graham ************** Damn you! Use forum search!!. |
