Phone has stopped working- flight mode???

[mdbusa_2000]

Got home today--put the phone in cradle noticed it was searching for provider--since then phone does not work at all- I was out and around today--no calls. another phone in house same provider works fine. I just have that icon with the x and when i try to turn on the phone nothing happens.
Any ideas???

Have you tried a soft reset?

Several times--anyone know what flight mode is?

Several times--anyone know what flight mode is?

Flight Mode stands for "no wireless emision" mode:
- NO phone comunications functions
- NO Bluetooth
- NO WI-FI

This is the usual mode required during commercial flights, where the name comes from. You can use only the PDA part of your XDA while in this mode.

Hope it helps.

Thanks

Well that explains flight mode.

Still does not explain why i am in flight and how to get out of it. If i try to make a call it says phone turned off-do you want to start. ckick yes and nothing happens--the dialog box goes away but no phone--also cannot see phone trying to connect to anything.

Hi!
Tap your phone icon on the top bar, (it should show an X) then tap "turn off flight mode", it should bring your phone back, and request the PIN. If not, call your phone program from the programs menu, and see what happens.

It is simple, if nothing happens your phone/phone SW might be damaged somehow....
Good luck!

I have been trying all that and nothing happens. Wonder if a hard reset might help or if the sim card is damaged.

A hard reset will answer the question, and at least you can do a backup of your data.

Did not want to hard reset. Put the sim in another phone and got sim rejected error message. then went to ais and they told me the sim was damaged and gave me another one for 10 bucks--same number.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Case closed
