v525 powers off unexpectedly

Posted: 06-29-2004, 11:29 AM
I have a v525 from SFR (Vodafone in France) and sometimes it powers off
alone. I just find it powered off though the battery is still loaded.

Does anybody already encountered the same problem ? Somebody solved it ?

Yes, I've had the same problem twice! The only solution is to take it back
to the Vodafone dealer, and as the fault occurred within a couple of days of
having the phone, they replaced them without any problem. The first one
also would freeze with a white screen, and the second one would not only
turn off but wouldn't turn on until I'd removed and replaced the battery.

I've seen similar complaints on a web page where people could post their own
reviews.

It's a great phone, but I'm worried how reliable it will be in the
long-term.

Similar problem here, but only when on the plug in hands free in the
car. I got a bluetooth hands free & the turning off stopped. No
charging in the car though. Ho hum.

Same with my V500. Switched itself off after about 2 minutes. It was
replaced and 6 months later I've had no problems at all with it
