Im suffering from the scrambled screen when someone rings, Ive not found much about it mostly just whats in the Nokia N80 Bug Report Thread. I have read before about an internal ribbon cable causing scrambling, but i dont think its that as it is only when i receive a call. has anybody found a way to solve it? soft format? hard format? reflash? i am on 4.0632.0.38 (n80ie).
Scrambled screen
it is happening to me too......idk whats happening.......could it be because of the "say callers name" feature??
dont think so because my phone was an silent all day and it was doing it.
Looking at other posts, it was seem to be a fault with the ribbon cable / connector. I had one phone which had this fault, and the one I currently have doesn't. It does sometimes slow the ringtone down to a distorted slur though.
I guess we can't have everything.
yeah, its been discussed here a few times this annoying scramble...
I didnt have it until recently on this phone..... but I seem to get it mostly if any screen msgs come up whilst in call... like call waiting, 2nd incoming call etc...
then it just goes green and I cant see sh1t.
Mine at first scramble and later white screen. Better send it in for service. 😊
It happened to me a few times after i flashed my phone to Internet Edition, but then it stopped and hasn't happened since (that was about 4-5 months ago). I don't know why it did that but it only occured 3 or 4 times.
I had this problem and I opened up the front cover which gives you access to the ribbon cable connector.
I carefully lifted the connector from its socket.
I then just pressed it back in a little firmer.
Haven't had the problem since.....
Hope this is of some use.
I had that exact problem with my N80 when I first bought it. It drove me nuts.
My cousin actually works for Telstra, (Telstra is a major Australian service provider) and she told me to take it back within 30 days to be replaced.
So I did that and the one it was replaced with has never done it, so I recommend you do the same.
