Minor phone crisis Apr 12

Bit of a panic yesterday as my phone packed in.

It crashed in the morning and I had to take the battery out to reset it. At lunchtime, I noticed that my 500+ text messages had been deleted and my internet settings had all gone. Reprogrammed the GPRS but it had trouble sending a message later on so I turned it off. And it wouldn’t come back on.

Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer.

“Uh-oh,” I thought, or a more explicit synonym. I have, after all, had my share of phone problems

Fortunately, the Great God Google came up trumps with the key combination to use to get the handset to reformat itself. It’s fine now, although it returned to its factory settings so had to programme all my phone numbers, GPRS settings, profile preferences, etc., in again.

One of the reasons for my panic was that without my cameraphone, my Food Diary was rather scuppered. My digital camera came to a brief rescue during the interphonum – hence some of the slightly dismal photos from yesterday evening.
