My 5 months old C7-00's black glossy panel around the display started fading. The color fading/colorless patches are becoming prominently visible nowadays. Can the panel be changed under warranty? I guess the fading is to be a manufacturing defect, as another extensively used 8 months old C7-00 of ours still look new. After using various Nokia phones for the past 11 years, for the first time I see a problem/defect in a Nokia phone.
Within the past 6 days, I've purchased 2 brand new Nokia E71 phones from 2 different Walmart stores, 30 mins of each other. These are phones for the Straight Talk prepaid service. I have not yet activated the phones on ST, as my goal is to first test the basic functionality to determine if it's worth the $200 and will satisfy my needs.
What's happening on both phones, in the same exact manner and location on the phone, is that the menu title name for some menus have fading text. It appears as though there's a display issue. I've attached some screenshots to make it easy to see what I'm experiencing.
However, when I've tested playing the included videos in the phone at full screen, it appears to play the videos through the menu title name area with no fading. The same goes for looking at images - I do not see any fading with the included images in that area.
I have done a Soft Reset on both phones using the *# option and from the "Factory Reset" option in the menu. This has not resolved it on either phone. I have also changed themes, changed menu colors, changed the font size, none of which has resolved this.
Thus far, I've returned one phone to Walmart and ready to return the next one now due to this issue. I'm willing to try a 3rd but that's where my limit is. I really like this phone and want it, but if this issue is indicative of a fully dead or fading display after a short period of use, I will not make the investment.
I have one more problem with 9900 (t-mobile).It strats up (loading status bar goes from left to the right), then it shows Desktop - and then in second or two display shuts down and shows black display only. no responding.I have tried wiping, different OS installed - problem is the same. Once it sturted and worked for a cuple minutes and then same problem - display turns to black.
Whenever my phone(c3-01) mistakenly drops on the floor,its screen starts to blink,attimes it will last for less than 1week or more. If i switch off my phone at that point in time,and i try to turn it on,the screen will be blank(black),whereas its already turned on.
I have a Neo MT15i which was upgraded to the latest ICS patch through the OTA update. A few days late the phone suddenly appeared dead, and when i restarted (had to remove the battery), i get the phone start vibration but nothing appears on the screen.
I connected it to a PC and the PC companion was able to detect the phone, and i could even do the firmware upgrade. However the phone display refuses to switch on and none of the lights come on.
I then gave it to a local phone shop who said it was an issue with the phone and replaced the display and downgraded the firmware to 2.3.3. Again it worked for a few days and the same problem where the display shut down but i could get calls occured.
I tried many options given in the forum for xperia phones (press the power and volume up, remove battery and connect the charger, and then add the battery, etc) but no avail. now i get the start vibration from the phone, but nothing more.
I have C5-00 when I record video it stop for some sec. again start and again stop and start and goes on. And after take photos it take much time in processing image.
4 months ago I bought nokia c6. But now the screen starts displaying some black lines, but the touch working properly. The touch is working good but the lines are displayed. But when I open the slider do not comes, but after closing the slider the lines starts in zigzag motion.
Have nokia C7, there is nothing showed on my screen when I get a call on my mobile(only sometimes not always). The touch screen does not work as I cannot see anything on the screen and the only option is with the hard keys to receive the calls.
I have a problem with the backlight of my c7 phone. After many upgrades from symbian 3 to anna and now the latest belle, I can only set two positions from min to max, even though it seems to be four positions from minim to maxim. Now @ max backlight it is half. How I can get more light on the display.
i have just purchased a C1-01. On the display I a large icon showing my battery life and signal, my network providor name, a really large time display and a slightly smaller date. I have tried to look under the date and time settings, but there is no option for hiding it. It's really annoying but I've no idea how to make it go away.
I would like to inform you that i have purchased nokia c6 from bangalore on dt 05/06/2011 but, now, since last 3-4 days i am facing problem with this devices. It's stop showing anything on it's screen but mobile is working. We can't see anything except black screen.And sometimes it's work properly and suddenly stop showing anything on it's screen. what happen to my new cell and what step i should take?
I'm using a Nokia C6-01 with Anna update. When i use my phone under sunlight it doesn't turn on the backlight automatically when I receive a call. So i cannot see the details of the caller such as who's calling... I have to toggle the keypad unlock key few times to see it.
I got this phone for a relative and it arrived today. After setting it up, transferring contacts over and making it easy for her I'm stuck on this simple option. I've looked for over 30 minutes and searched all over using various keywords but I can't find a single answer. Where do you find the display timeout setting on this phone?! It defaults to something stupidly short like 10 seconds when it should be around 30 seconds at least. How fast do they think people read text messages? If I can't change this setting I don't think they'll want to keep the phone which is a shame as it looks quite nice in general.
I have a Nokia C7-00 that was purchased SIM free and unbranded in Germany, with which I'm experiencing distinct colour banding / gradient problems. It is also common on Nokia N8 displays. I'll try to describe my problem:The first tell tale sign of the issue seems to be a common one: A purplish tint on the top half of the screen saver clock (visible when the phone is keylocked and then the menu key is pressed).As time has passed by since first noticing this problem- I have also noticed that videos and images that are predominantly dark are also having issues being displayed properly. The effect being similar to if the image was being shown on a screen with limited colours, for example, if you set your computer screen to display only 16bit colours. In areas of images that black is supposed to fade into lighter colours, the image is completely off.
I have contacted Nokia care and they have no input other than re-installing my firmware (which is impossible to do anyway- as they seem to have provided me with inaccurate instructions- there is no way to re-install my firmware via Ovi Suite or the handset)I've since moved away from Germany and from what I understand my 2 year warranty is only valid in Europe...
Attachment 1 is supposed to be black to white squares in increasing gradient
Attachment 2 is supposed to be black into white, but on my display somehow a brown/purple tint is in between the black and white
Attachment 3 is the screensaver clock that is supposed to be black, but on my screen the top half is displayed with a purple hue
Here is an image of two Nokia N8's from someone experiencing the same display characteristics as my C7, and one with a good display. The problem can be seen better in these images:
Just updated my C7 ( Anna 1/2 and 2/2 and I noticed annoying problem.When someone is calling me, display won't wakeup and I cant see who is calling.. Sometimes display works ok, sometimes it takes few seconds to wake and and sometimes it wont work at all.HELP NEEDED! Usually it wont wake up if it is in my pocket while ringing.
have problem when u view lighter colored pictures like the sky or complete white screen then there are thin parallel lines passing across the screen. also the fone gets heated up alot while playing games/ surfing net and the battery drains out within 3 to 4 hrs. i hav updated my firmware over to air via gprs. my firmware is 013.016?
I have same problem with my C7-00. It was working properly to display all caller id names those are stored with country code using + sign. I came from India to Singapore, changed my SIM, still it was working. After upgrading it with ANNA, it has stopped displaying names in calls, but works for SMS !!
There is no Duplication issue.
When I opened call with Nokia, surprisingly, I was told that this is a new issue they are having. But I am seeing so many people are struggling with it. I used *#7780# & *#7370#, but still same, problem is not resolved.
To c heck if it is subscriber issue, I put my SIM in another same model C7-00, which is still not upgraded with ANNA & there it works. Nokia supporter does not have solution to back to old software.
my mobile nokia c7 , in this nokia belle is installed , but i am getting problem. my display is not working, it is showing pop up clock.no buttons are working, i have reboot several times.
I want to change the main standby screen layout so there is nothing on there but my selected wallpaper image, is there a way of doing this? Or at least a way to re-arrange the shortcut keys?
Just bought a C3-00. It only has English, Franch and Spanish (in the phone language option). How to make it display and type Chinese? The C3-00 is S40 system, only can install JAVA Apps.
The blackberry 8520 bough before 6 months have developed screen fading while I took out from my pocket, The warrnty company says it is DAMAGED, Lord ! I didnt damagedAnd they are informing me that the warranty is VOIDI told them it is not acceptable, I didnt damaged it and there is no physical crack on it !!! how can they say it is damaged ?
I sent my Torch 9810 in to Rogers for repair (phone was overheating). Today they sent me a new replacement, because they couldn't fix the old one....but now the new one can't send or receive calls. I keep getting the error message "Call Failed due to Fading". Is this a network or a hardware problem? Rogers said it was the network and tech support said it could be the hardward..
when making a call on my Torch2 9810 the moment i press the call button my screen fades away and no matter what i do it does not come back on but until the call is finished. I really tried everything. I have to be very fast in seeing if i put in the correct number to call otherwise it's canceling the call or wait to see if it was the correct number.
I recent bought a unlocked iphone 5c 8gb two days ago the phone was acting fine for a day. thin after that day around 6 the next day the phone had lines pop up on the screen and turned its self of. so im thinking its normal when the phone crashes and turn off i mean all iphone does this. but it was wearied seeing the lines pop up. after that i had turn the phone back on to update it to ios 8.1.1. soon as i did that it got worst. then phone would heat up and shut off with the lines on . you couldn't even have the phone on for a 1 before it did that.
So it had shut off again and when i turned it back on i t went straight to recovery mode. and i got out of that by holding the home button and power for ten seconds. thin i went to youtube to do some research and they said to do recovery mode or dfu mode. i did it once and it work for a while thin did the same stuff all over again. so i did it multiple times like 9 times recovery mode/ dfu mode. so now the apple logo blinks and fade a way constantly. and everytime i try to put it in dfu mode or recovery mode it wont even go on there it will just blink and fade away. do i need to get a new battery.
