Hello there,
I'm by no means an expert with mobile phones, but was recently given a C600 and having done some research on the net managed to unlock the phone myself.
However, although the phone was working fine with an O2 prepay sim card for the past few weeks, it has now decided to have what can only be described as a 'fit' every time i try to use it.
Half the time the three colured screen comes up when i turn it on, which says tornado, and a series of numbers, and then when i can get the phone switched on properly, half the time some of the buttons refuse to work, and the other half the phone will decide to flip between the earpiece volume setting screen, the camera, and the voice command thingy, when all i am trying to do is to text my mate to see if he wants to go for a beer!
Needless to say i haven't had a beer for the last two days, and am a little annoyed about being constantly outwitted by a mobile phone, so i decided to come to the experts for help.
Thanks to anyone who can help me resolve this issue!!
thanks guys, i clearly came to the right place here!
great.

Wow you waited whole hour and a half before you gave up to wait for an answer, LOL.
PS
Your problem is cammera button - its half stuck so you need to clean it.

didn't change the rom at all as i heard that the new one was no good, its as it came out of the factory...
however, the toggle button is now not responding at all as with many other c600s from what i can tell on the net, so i may have to install the new rom anyway and hope that solves the problem.
i have a feeling that i will have to go through the entire process of unlocking the phone again when i have installed the new rom also, i'm starting to wonder if it is worth it....but i do really like the phone so it would be a shame to give up
thanks a lot for the help, if anyone else can help please post...
thanks

25 and a half hours, but sorry for the impatience its just very frustrating to not be able to use a phone when i have no spare.
i'm pretty sure the problem runs a little deeper than the camera button but i'll give it a try.
thanks

just search for the original lock screen....its been posted in here quite a few times...
Hey guys I could really use some help and suggestions! Here's the Dilema, I had android ported on to my phone and had it for a good while bout 3 months got tired off it had a few issues. So i installed the stock ROM and flashed the spl back on the phone to get rid of the Hard spl.
The problem: My full touch screen works when im using the phone, but when i hit the red phone to lock my screen it locks like it should. When i hit the red phone again to unlock it, the touch screen doesnt respond and i cant unlock my phone any ideas?
Every once in a while the screen will stay black and the power button will have no effect on the phone. Even if i was just on it, Yes its fully charged. But if someone calls me the phone comes out of its "locked up / sleep state". I was curious as to why it does this. Im going to basic training in about a month for the army and was told to bring my phone as to the DS can choose to let me use it or not. Id hate to not be able to use my cell if i bring it.
Im using CYanogenmod 7 Rom
Im not quite sure any other imformation i should provide. But i will respond as quickly as i can to your responses.
THanks.
i just noticed i posted this in the wrong forum, although i cant figure out how to delete this post -_-

Maybe wrong voltages?
It happened to me once..i reinstalled ROM
I have done a few searches here and been searching all night. My company is moving from Sprint to Verizon and as our salesforce si out in the field I selected the razr maxx for the battery life.
I got mine yesterday as I am the systems admin and started to play with it. My fault for what happened totally but I'm hoping soemone here can help me.
I installed a Launcher Pro based "HTC Sense" clone, an HTC sense flip clock and the Agile Locker. After this I got the update for 6.5.1-73_SPU-11M1-2, (Im guessing thats right as I took it from the screenshot http://www.xda-developers.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Jsh9vl.jpg?139d23 there, but Im fairly certain it was 6.5), The phone totally froze on the Dual core boot screen. It was like that all night as I passed out. When I woke up I foundf out how to hard reset the phone (http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=49625). I then tried to uninnstall the apps but the phone signal and 4g was shut off and the live wallpaper (stock one) was all funky. I decided to factory reset it. I factory reset it but not the memory card.
After all of this its still freezing totally (right after I skipped the verizon remember my contacts stuff) so I got back into it and reset it again.
This is where I am now. I am going to try to set it up again, but if it keeps freezing thats not gonna be good.
On another note, I would LOVE to try ICS on it, but I dunno if thats such a great idea on a phone that seems to be broken despite factory resets.
Im sorry if I'm posting in the wrong area. Please let me know if I should repost or move my post. Thanks in advance for anyones thoughts or help!!!
EDIT: I have factory reset it and its still frozen. I am going to have to return it.
