Hello,
my girlfriends OrangeUK San Francisco has some weird Display problems. It happens occasionally. I couldn't determinate the reason for it. It just happens randomly and last for a couple of minutes and sometimes even hours. Even with stock Firmware. It's running the "Finnish Fillyjonk 2.1".
It's allergic to white colors. It develops white stripes above it.
Does anybody know what's the problem?
I have added 6 pictures so you can take a look. Sorry for the bad quality.
Thank you for any reply!
Pete
Have you tried different roms? If the stripes are there with other roms also, then flash orange rom back and give it to the shop.
I had the Stock Firmware, de-orangeded r7 & r8 and the Finnish Fillyjonk to be sure. This error occurs on every Rom. I got this phone from the UK but now I am in Germany. You know any support partner in Germany?
Thanks for the reply!

hi...
i have o2 mini s..the problem is that on several occasions multiple black lines come on the left half of screen and graudually the whole display becomes dull...it comes back to normal by switching off the light and then again pressing the power button...when the display is getting dull i can figure out the phone is working cause of the sound i here on using stylus ans also when the screen is alright the aplications i had opened blindly r open..
have tried various rom upates but no benefit...
please help with a way out of this serious problem...
thanks...
Sounds like your device is not liking life.... did you drop it before this started happening?
I assume you have had the phone for less than a year so try returning it and see what o2 say.
thanks..
i got the cell secondhand....and no warranty too..can i please no what the problem is and how much will it cost to get the screen repaired..
I've got the same problem here with my UK T-Mobile MDA Vario.
I've contacted T-Mobile through their website but have received no further response after telling them that I bought the device from Ebay.
Can anyone suggest as to how to fix the problem? Thank you.

Hey All
I'm on my 5th phone from Orange. The latest one arrived today. I've had one with screen alignment problems and 3 that after a month or so making a piecing noise when the display is on. Off the 4 I've had previously only one of them seemed to be stable. All sorts of hangs with frequent software resets. Also it always seems to try and use a 3G connection when it has wireless. If you soft reset and try again it doesn't use the 3G and will use wireless. This is without installing any custom software but using a memory card. Had one that wouldn't always sync with XP and when I went to Vista refused to work. Just seems like hardware/software is poor quality
Driving me mad/nuts. Any suggestions. Orange has offered to swap to a different phone but I can't live without the functionality. I don’t hold much hope for my latest one either.
Anyone have any ideas when Orange is releasing new firmware?
HTC were due to distribute a new european ROM at the end of January, but not sign yet. This would then be customised by the network providers orange Tmobile etc.
You can always upgrade your ROM with the latest from HTC (1.35), which i have done on my M3100 with no ill effects. Since the upgrade it seems to run a bit quicker, plus you do not get all the orange branding on it. Have a look at the WIKI page for full instructions.
I've thought long and hard about doing that. However Orange has said if I did this and have another fault with a phone they won't replace it. I would have to claim under insurance. Bearing in mind I'm on my 5th phone I think this would be a problem. Most of the reasons why I've had my phone replaced are hardware issues (piercing noises with display on, no sync, screen alignment) Because I can't go back to an orange Rom I’d be a bit stuck. (How close is the Orange Romanian Rom to the UK Orange original Rom?)
Don’t get me wrong the software is buggy but I can live with it (just). I wondered if a Rom would also help with some of the hardware glitches to....

I'm like you. I daren't change the rom until there is an orange rom available to revert to.
Actually my device is stable and works well, but then I do a lot of housekeeping to avoid unecessarily stressing the device (including regular resets).
I too have an Orange UK M3100, in the first month I had 3 replacements: screen alignment x2, faulty camera. Since I got my 4th unit I have had no problems, I have a fair amount of software running on it, as the above post I regularly tidy it up but only reset it about 2-3 times per week. I understand how frustrating it is, I cursed my impatience for not waiting for the p990's release as I had a p900 and p910 but now I absolutely love the M3100 and am so glad I stuck with it, especially seeing all the problems my mates are having with their p990s.
For what it's worth, if Orange are prepared to replace it again without using your Orange Care insurance, I'd try again, cross your fingers and hope that you get a bug-free unit. Tell Orange you want a brand new replacement and not a refurb.
However, I doubt Orange will release a ROM update for some time, if at all.
i never ever have any problem on my m3100 from orange uk
using outlook msn skype and balaa balaa with my wilress internet
not even 1 fone
we got update from orange 2 fones
just now upgrading rom 1,23 to 1,24

I also belong a M3100. At first I lost plenty of my hair figuring how to get it working at least correctly. Now it is allmost perfect!
I tested plenty of roms; and at last my favorite is the Orange Romania; it is at least as fast as the SA 1.35 and seems more stable. Standby recovery with wifi is faster, bluetooth detection *seems* more stable, dialer skin match the vista theme, wifi *handshake* improved (I had to disable/enable the wifi more often with the SA rom to get it connected to my home network).
So, if I were you I would stick on the orange ROM. The only reason I changed my rom is that I really wanted an english one; localised versions get me sick.
What I did to get my phone working:
-Changed the default case (and its awfull magnet) to another one magnet free (it solved my "auto answer" issue)
-I managed to install only the software I need:
-SPB Pocketplus
-SPB GPS Mon
-MSN for WM2002-2003 (far faster/stable than the WM5 one!)
-TCPM
-HTC X-Button
@uhk: I would be very interested in your rom update; where can I find it? I found nothing on orange's site
do u have a link or smthng for the msn messenger?

Hi guys, I am new to the HTC world .
I bought a Vodafone branded HTC Magic two weeks ago, but I had problems almost immediately. In practice, my screen goes mad and acts as if I touch randomly on the lower part of the screen itself. In order to get it back to work properly I have to turn it off and then on again, sometimes more than one time. Do you think it is a screen defect or it has something to do with the ROM?
I have hard resetted it but nothing changes (the ROM is not cooked, it is just the Vodafone one).
Thanks
Hi,
evene if I didn't get answers, I bump this topic because, after I sent my Vodafone Magic to HTC and they gave me a new one, I have the same problem.
Someone says that this problem is caused by a software incompatiblility with the SIMs from the Wind Italian operator, but I also tried with another SIM and I got the same problem (even if minor than with Wind).
Is it possible that no one had this problem?
I tried ROMs, patches, kernels, but I had no luck.
Thanks in advance
Hello all:
I'm new to this site and I'm hoping someone can help.
I bought a t-mobile wing. It has a ROM version of OpenTouchV7.3. I want to load the orginal T-mobile ROM it. I got the ROM, but during the update process my phone resets. Well, it starts out ok. I get the multi color screen, then I get the bar graph. It will get to 1% then the phone will reset and I loss connection. I've tried 2 different ROMs. One from t-mobile and the other found on this site. Does anybody know what's wrong and how to fix it
I am assuming that your phone is not HardSPL'd. When it goes to that three color screen(which is called the bootloader by the way), what is your IPL and SPL versions?
Also, why exactly do you wan't to load the original T-Mobile ROM? It is simply terrible, terrible battery life, no perks, slow as hell...it's just not good at all.
