Guest paulmottley Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 :) It's stopped working! Is it possible I've done something to it ? I haven't droped it. The only 'tinkering' I've done is putting new homescreens on it. I didn't take out the insurance so it's going back to HaysTech late tomorrow if I can't sort it out before then. I don't want to, but I really need it to be working! Please- any ideas?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 there was a known bug similar listed here http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic...light=backspace the only other thing is to try a hard reset. if there is a software bug it might worth a try.
Guest paulmottley Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 thanks-I saw that bug when I did a search to see if it had come up before. also tried a hard rest(brown trouser moment when it took a whil;e to come back to life!) no joy :) any other ideas? Also, the phone seems to reset to the homepage after about 5-10 seconds if I don't touch it- most anoying if I'm reading.
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted February 17, 2003 Report Posted February 17, 2003 Does the backspace key work when you're browsing the web? i.e. does it take you back to the previouly-viewed page? Re. the Homescreen timeout - you can adjust this by going to Programs -> Settings -> Home Screen -> Time out. 10 seconds is the default timeout, if I remember rightly...
Guest paulmottley Posted February 17, 2003 Report Posted February 17, 2003 No, I'm getting no function at all with it! also I have the timeout set on 10secs. I did before I did the hard reset but it's never gone back to homepage before.
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted February 17, 2003 Report Posted February 17, 2003 In that case your phone needs to go back to the shop; it's faulty. About the homescreen - no matter what it did before the hard reset, this is what's causing it to revert to the homescreen all the time. I have mine set to 5 minutes, seems to be about ok.
Guest paulmottley Posted February 17, 2003 Report Posted February 17, 2003 Ok then, thanks for trying to help though, They said it may take 4 days! I can't be without it for that long!!! sad isn't it? Not being tech minded it is nice to see all the work people are putting in to expand the software/games. Is it possible to play the game 'Elite' ? if so I don't think I'd ever get anything else done!
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted February 17, 2003 Report Posted February 17, 2003 No problem, mate. Hope mine never has to go back - if it dies, I'll be reduced to using an old 3210 until the SPV gets repaired. Nokia's anathema to me, I doubt I could handle it :)
