Hi, I'm having problems with my T68m -- it keeps freezing when i try to do _anything_! It turns on ok, but then if i press any button, the phone freezes (have to take the battery out to turn it off). If i plug the charger in it also freezes. Also, if the phone is off and i plug the charger in, the phone turns on (and then freezes) instead of staying off and "charging only".
If anyone can help at all it would be much appriciated!!! |

not much you can do... bring it to a servicepoint... sounds as it is either a software error or a memory fault. |

I had the same problem after an occasional drop of my T68m... Sent it in for service, the fixed it for free (it was the SIM-holder).
Good Luck
And take care you don't get any of the R5Axxx software... My phone had some serious bugs with that... |

It's about 9 months old (so still under warrenty) and it's from the Carphone Warehouse (which is closed today). Can't tell what the software version i have is (cause it freezes...) but it was updated in about October last year.
I just don't want to lose the 200-ish phone numbers (or to be without a phone for the x days it'll take them to fix it [looking around for my trusty 5110:) ]).....
Do i need to specially ask them not to upgrade the firmware to R5A? (is that the newest release?) |

you will not loose the numbers during a normal upgrade (latest is R6A012).. but... if the phone still freezes after they have upgraded it, there isn't much to do to save your numbers in the phone... |

Ok, turns out i get free insurance with my Orange contract so they're sending me a replacement phone tomorrow morning. (Which means i lose all my stored numbers/msgs/etc  )
Just wondering if anyone knows why my current phone doesn't have the Orange logo at the bottom even tho it came with an Orange contract (it just says "T68")?
