Software gone crazy on my C600. Please help!!

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.

what rom did you install on your tornado?

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

[Q] can't hear other side in conversation.

hey,
I bought the nexus s (9023) about two months ago, stock rom, not rooted, and for the last week or two, it started making problems.
about 1-5 times a day, i can't here the other side at all. as if it's on mute. not even the ringing tone, before I'm answered. the only thing that solves it, is to restart the phone.
in other forums i've read that it's a mess, and that i should use my warranty. the problem is i bought the phone abroad, and shipping it should take about 3 weeks.
is it a common issue?
can i solve it alone, mabye by switching to a non-stock rom?
i'll be very happy to read some good news here, but bad news is better than non.
thanks a lot,
tal
p.s, iv'e downloaded system info to monitor the temp, and it doesn't happen necessarily when the phone is hot.

I don't know... I am rooted, I have used 5 different roms since purchasing my phone.
Stock
CM 7
Savaged Zen
Oxygen
Soju
I have also used several kernels
CM Stock
Netarchy
Matrix
James Bond
Trinity
So far, on all roms and kernels I have experienced the same problem. You make a call and it connects, looking at the screen the time counter is going but there is no sound; it will sit there and hold the call for 30-55 seconds then ends call. A quick redial and bam it works. Some people have reported that they answered and there was nothing. I don't know, it's really obnoxious.
The other, more annoying problem is that randomly on calls throughout the day the phone will just reboot itself. Right in the middle of a call. AHHHH like 3-5 times daily!

help, anyone?
i'm stuck with this, and a bit clueless.

Well, somehow I discovered that the problem is related to the bluetooth. as long as it's turned of, nothing will happen, on the other hand, when I use my earphone (most of my conversations happen while driving) i need to restart my phone every 1-2 calls
any ideas?

just u can't hear other one while calling u?
thanks.

so it was in the beginning, but now neither of us can hear the other. no matter who made the call.
and again, only when BT is working.

hehee its problem ,
am really disappointing with nexus s , but i dont have enough money to buy HTC product again.

any solution?
Hi, did anybody have any solution to this problem?
I live this problem on almost half calls of specific numbers.
I am desparate...

Try setting discoverable timeout to never? Have you tried a different Bluetooth device?

I have this problem too. This seem to happen on some Kangs and nightly, but not all of them. I can't hear when someone calls me. But when I call someone, I can hear them. I always have Bluetooth off (do not use them).

I live the same problem. No problem for outgoing calls. For incoming calls, I cannot hear caller's voice but they can hear me. It is not for all numbers.
I am on t-mobile and nexus s (cynagenmod nightlies). For all incoming calls from tmobile numbers no problem. But for almost all other carriers, it is just random.
I feel like I started having this problem after updating from CM 7.0.2 to 7.1 RC and thereafter(but not very sure on this).

If anybody still following this topic, I would suggest you to contact samsung if you still have warranty. On the second attempt they sent me a brand new phone with box and accessories.

Or, you might give it a try with a different radio for your model:

If you go this road, make sure you backup your EFS folder.

What i would do is if it is still in warranty just give it back to them and they'll probably give you a new phone. Since you said it takes 3 weeks to ship, just wait for it and use another phone if possible. Its not like your life is going to end. I think the problem is, not every phone is the same so there will be problems especielly when flashing a rom. For example unstable roms might not allow you to use this app or have serious effects on your phone.
Best to give it back to samsung and get a replacement.

Rooting your phone shouldn't affect anything, as long as you don't flash a different rom. I have not listened here that someone after rooting experienced problems with Gps or any other app still using the stock rom. As you were told, use gps status to see if satellites are detected. If non are detected or are not fixing, go to menu tools and reset the A-gps. If u are still experiencing issues with the gps try flashing this patch...it works nice:

Before doing anything, try rebooting your phone....it works for me...

You might have a similar problem to another user in the zeus q/a forum. Read the last few pages. You may need to go back to stock and try flashing again

ill take a look ...and give it a try ... thanks qkster

Had this problem. I just don't make too many calls. Sometimes it's just really laggy when you're trying hang up. Just tell them to hang up first.. Lol

[Q] call waiting beep heard by other party

Hey Guys, I have read all the post here, and have done numerous searches here as well as google, and cant find a single topic on the problem I'm having, and I know other people have to be having the same problem, or maybe they do, and don't realize it, lol.. anyway when I am on the phone talking to someone and someone else calls, the person I am talking to hears my beep, some ask who's trying to call you? while others say hold on they are getting a call, but it is my beep they are hearing, so I have tried almost every app in the market, and patiently waited for the 2.3.4 update, and no fix, I called tmobile and they said it was a known issue and LG is working on a patch, but didn't know when one would be available, I called LG they said it was a known problem but had no plans of fixing it.... Does anyone here know how to fix this ? or have a work around ?
besides disabling call forwarding all together ????? This is like an invasion of privacy
and really irritating, Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys !!

are u using Bluetooth? plantronic?

Na, stock g2x, stock rom 2.3.4 android, no accessories, if you have one try an experiment with someone, it does the same on mine, my fathers, and my girls.....
Weirdest thing.... thanks for any help

because my friend using 3gs and Bluetooth happened just like u said.
