  1. Default hang and touch screen fail

    Hey guys,
    My e680i started with no memory indication when i tried to switch from vibrate to ringing and then touch screen couldnt register any input, and then after several restarts, it hung at the logo. Now it just keeps hanging at the logo no matter how many times i tried to restart it. All i want is to back up my phonebook.....thats the most important....i dont want to try and flash it, i read through sticky's directions but it seems to long i just want to make a copy of my phonebook, since now im not sure if the screen works after i try to flash it.

    Once ive copied my phone book and can be transfered elsewhere than i will proceed to experiment with the other options. Funny thing is i backedup my phone book last week before my pc crashed and i had to reformat it and i lost that copy and i was supposed to do it this week......just my luck! Does anyone know any other way that i can get my phonebook ?? i hope someone out there has a solution!

    Thanks

    based on my experience, i think it will be impossible to backup your phonebook since your phone is failing to completely boot-up and thus can not be recognized by the pc. if you have backed-up your contacts before using backup/restore app you can still save your contact since it is most probably stored in mmc filename pim.bak (do not delete the files in the memory card), if not sorry.

    and the only solution to fix your phone is to flash.

    looks like it's total solution of data logging..

    Guys.....This Touch screen feature sucks !!!!!!!!
    I'm back into this forum after a gap of 8 months almost...

    My Motorola MING was doing fine all this while....
    I had just come back from office today...sat don to have tea..got up from the couch....Ming (wrapped in the motorola holder) falls on to the carpet...I just thought nothing should happen as my phone is wrapped and the carpet is soft...

    20 min later...I get a message...
    I open the flip and use my thumb to touch the '!' symbol...it doesn't work...I try again...It doent work....Now a little paranoid...I tried for the third time remembering that may be the phone fall was fatal....

    It doesnt work...Alas whats with my touch screen.To Add to the trouble...There is a power cut in my home....(We are having bad monsoons in banagalore and rely of hydro-electricity...hence constant power cuts).

    How do I access MotoroaFans...The guys who can help me out...Panic struck...I opened the phone, removed the battery,SIM,micro SD card...and put everything back and alas...My touch screen doesnt work....The only thing that works are the buttons...But you know they can be of little help on MING.

    What do I do for messaging,contacts...I'm dead...My is is 1.5 yrs old..No warrenty...

    Power comes back...I logon to motorolafans...Its a known problem...Many have faced it....man...I'm not in a position to buy a new phone now...I was thinking of picking up the IPhone....But it doesn't even have one button...What if the same thing happens with the IPhone....I thought Its better to by a cheap phone that you can use to send text and make calls...

    The first option from motorola fans I tried:
    Master reset - No use...
    I tried pressing the keys harder..and there was some respite...The touch screen Buttons were responding...but not all of them....
    But I noticed that in some random fashion the respond and some time it feels like there is no problem...but just then the touch screen freezes...

    when I read the comment from kiwiguy...I was sure that this phone has reached a point of no return...the only option service centre of faith...

    Also I noticed that the date was displayed as 1970 (before I did the master reset)...Might be sotware problem might be hardware problem...But there was a problem for sure....

    I decided I should..use the button and use my call list to call friend and tell my sob story..of my phone.....

    I finished sobbing it out and suddenly the touch screen seem to be working...I quickly chaned the date,changed the theme and changed the backlight set up 5 min and send a message to my friend mentioning about this magic.....

    To double check...I switched off the phone again...On restart the problem occured again..I called my friend again and it worked this time...I did another restart and the phone seems be working all right upto now...Its been one hour.\


    And it freezed again now....Im sure its a software problem...
