phones crash at exactly the same time !

3 replies · 5,217 views · Started 28 August 2009

Me and my hubby both have N97's he's with vodaphone and i'm with orange.

We were both playing with our phones, he was browsing the internet and i was just doing some organisation with the phone software (well there's nothing on telly) - we both got the white screen at exactly the same time 😮

We immediately thought that is might have been something updating from Nokia, though it's doubtful - any thoughts ?

Spooky though

Just a thought angiepea... but are you both running identical 3rd party software that may have caused them them to crash at a specific time?

I agree with you about TV by the way.

I suggest an early night. :wink:

I'm beginning to wonder. There was a blog post August 24th about certain Nokia cell phones in Florida were being pulled from the shelves and no longer advertised due to them having a problem with an AT&T network upgrade that triggers adverse behavior in the phones--decreased battery life and spontaneous reboots.

I'm in Texas and I've had a couple of spontaneous reboots and a couple of times where the battery went down to nil in an unexpected amount of time. I have AT&T. They're planning on making this change nation-wide?

I wonder...if it's time to cancel my five AT&T cell phones, AT&T residential & long distance and my AT&T DSL ???

UPDATE: Also reported with multiple 3G phones on AT&T's network including the E71X and also with Verizon's 3G network:

Well the only 3rd party stuff we both have uploaded is Opera.

Thanks for those links rdcinhou, i've read a couple of them but will read more later on.
