crazy screen
 

my friends mogul is doing something crazy, about 1 time outta 3 when he closes his keyboard his screen orientation goes back to portrait, but its completely reversed, like a mirrir image. he opens and closesit agian it goes back to normal, he switched back to stock alltel and it still did it, hes out of warranty so we are wondering if anyone has any idea how to stop this from happening

Re: crazy screen
 

Did it still do it on stock with nothing installed?

Re: crazy screen
 

op states he switched back to stock and it still does it, or do you mean before first flash? wasnt sure you saw that part

Re: crazy screen
 

I saw. I am trying to determine if it's something he/she is installing later on in their process, or if it's something inherently wrong with the phone.

Re: crazy screen
 

he was trying an array of custom roms when it started, it would do it on all of them so he switched back to stock and relocked hoping it would stop but it kept up on stock so he went to get an exchange but no luck (no tep) so he has a no warranty phone with a crazy screen.

Re: crazy screen
 

has he hardreset?

Re: crazy screen
 

after each flash, and again after the problem starts for the first time, no such luck.

Re: crazy screen
 

i would start removing programs from newest ect. the backup seems to be carrying the problem over. he is using a backup program i asume?

Re: crazy screen
 

when we flash the problem starts whithin 3 slide-opens even if no programs have been installed yet.

Re: crazy screen
 

This is weird because I dont see this as a hardware problem.

Re: crazy screen
 

we are in a debate right now, he suggested he get tep wait 30 days and filea claim fora new phone...i told him thats fraud and illegal, he says its perfectly legal if he paid the premium and deductible. am i right or him?

Re: crazy screen
 

I'm not going to get into questions of legality (I'm no lawyer), but that should work. People made much much much shadier trade-ins when some of the companies were upgrading people to the Touch Pro. Chances are extremely likely that the insurance company would not care or notice. I'm not going to advocate either way, but that certainly seems like a plausible solution.

He could also look on eBay and try to buy a used one. It may be a similar price to the insurance costs.

Re: crazy screen
 

Have you seen it in person? Maybe he has a brain tumor........

Re: crazy screen
 

Yes that could work, I would consider it slightly legal. But I dont know how he can sign up for TEP after 30 days of having the phone.

Re: crazy screen
 

i had a tp well over ayr old and the gps broke and sprint sent me a new tp free, no insurance ect.

Re: crazy screen
 

well alltel said no to a warranty exchange, but with them you can add insurance anytime you want, which is nice. Also i have seen the phone in person, as he is my roommate. I will tell him to go ahead and try his insurance deal then. thanks for all the info.

FIXED: what we did was downgrade to an older shipped alltel rom/radio and it stopped, we then upgraded back to the latest alltel shipped, and now on custom again. so far so good.
