Questions About My New Mogul

lostangelx3 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-21-2008, 01:38 PM

Hi, this is my first post since I just got my mogul last weekend and have since looked for forums on it. I have a few questions regarding my mogul.. I realized that my screen seems to be uneven.. in the middle it appears to indent when I press on it with a stylus or my finger.. not sure if all mogul screens are like this or just mine.. I just want to make sure since I still have 30 days to exchange/return the phone.. also I noticed that whenever I press slightly harder with the stylus or when I use the toggle hard button on the front of the phone that little red dots appear.. sometimes it's one sometimes it's three.. they seem to look like they are loading something and I was wondering if this was normal as well. Sorry for all these concerns.. it's my first Pocket PC phone and I just want to make sure that it's not flawed due to manufacturing and that these concerns are normal for Moguls. Thank you in advance!

The screen does have a slight concave, and with a plastic piece over the screen (which is a part of the touch screen assembly), when you tap it with your stylus, you will notice it indent. That's normal. As for the little red dots, I'm honestly not too sure. Hope this has cleared some of your concerns!

Screen smear is common with LCD without hard protective surface. If you press hard enough, the screen color will get distorted on any LCD screen. Consider yourself lucky, cause it get worse won the Samsung i760 even with a slight touch.

Well the red dots that appear are for the onsceen menu. When you press and hold the stylus on the screen there will be a ring of dots that start to appear and once the make complete ring you pull the stylus off the screen and an onscreen options menu opens.

yeah, as long as everything is functioning properly, those problems arent anything to worry about. Just remember, you do have 30 days to exchange it, so if you feel the quality of the one you have is not the greatest, it might be a good idea to swap it out while you still can. also, dont forget to get insurance on your ppc!

*I guess since it's not affecting the phones functions and nothing seems to be too out of the ordinary except for it needing some soft resets when using Opera mini 4.1.. it seems like its a standard mogul. Thanks for all the tips

Try using a different java.. much more reliable. I think its Jbed is what you need to search for.

I had the same problems with Opera Mini 4.1, so I ditched that and started using a build of Opera Mobile 9.5. It works good except it is a little slow at times but I totally prefer it over mini.
