Just Opened the Box

[torontotytn]

Hi everyone, great forum - and my question comes right out of the box. I recently got a 8525 for Rogers Network - and I am charging it. The LED goes from Orange to Green - but it won't turn on.

Do I have to wait until it's fully charged to turn it on? And does it need to have my SIM card in as well for it to turn on. I'm thinking I was given a Lemon.

What you think?

It will turn on without a sim card. Are you holding the button in when you try and turn it on?

I had to do a reset to get it going - i got it slightly used for an amazing deal - i am starting to see why now.

The power button isn't working

that's REALLY not good.

You need that button to work to turn ON/OFF the screen allllll the time.

I am getting a swap done on the phone - so no problem. Thank you all though!

Another question - if i have wifi set up in my house - and i want to make sure the device won't pick up the Roger Network and start charging me - is there a way to turn off that feature.

So if I am at a hotspot - it will automatically go there and not the rogers network?

***EDIT: Nevermind - just have to hit the call button.***

Download Modaco NoData. You can toggle Roger Network connections on and off.

Really?? I'll check it out - thanks man.

Another question - sorry for so many - and this might be a programming thing. But is there a way to have the phone option as a shortcut on the today/home screen?

Or even make it a soft button option?

there's already a shortcut to the phone in the start menu, so u can just choose that to be one of the aps in the home screen. the shortcut is real descriptive too.........its called phone

LOL - I saw that - I was looking for something that I could get at one handed without accessing the start menu.

thanks though

Edit:

Nevermind - hitting the call button brings up the phone. Nevermind..
