Any help is appreciated...
I was going along fine yesterday when I took my Vox out of my pocket and couldn't see anything on the screen. I know it's getting power because it has a faint glow to the screen when I cycle my phone on/off. Also, it 'glows' when I'm in the dark and hit a key (setting the keypad ligts off.) Since they only way to do a hardreset (that I know of) is through the Expert folder (which I CAN"T SEE), does anyone else know another way to hardreset through keystrokes? I've tried soft resetting (remove the battery for 3min), but that doesn't help. TIA Tim |

hard reset -> hold down two softkeys (those above button 1 and 3) while switching on the phone .. till you see a black and white screen with the alert to reset
goodluck

to initiate, you need to press the green call button, make sure you are already pressing and holding the softkeys while you switch the phone on.

This problem is mentioned in a couple of other posts with no solution .....yet phoned orange helpline, I explained about hard reset etc, the lass on the other end gave me a replacement without any problem. I asked if it was a known issue, she said it's fairly regular occurence.

I have more or less the same prob. backlight switches off but a faint glow remains.
I d guess it has something to do with Tornado Powercontrol settings. if you have this program installed try fiddling around a little and see what happens |
