Question Just bought a Cingular 8525 & I gotta problem...

I just got this awesome machine 3 days ago. It is everything that the specs have said it is. The problem I have may be a setting issue, but I am lost. I will be using the Pocket PC and the screen begins to fade to white. When this begins taking place their is nothing I can do except hit one of the buttons on the bottom to bring it back. Then it goes right back to white again. I end up having to do a soft reset. Then it won't happen for a while. But this is happening more then I am comfortable with. Does anyone have any advice? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

BarryJe,
If it is box stock, it sounds like a defective unit. My 8525 does not operate that way. It does, however, enter SnoozeMode quickly to conserve battery. I mapped #3 button to switch Portrait/Landscape, useful to bring it back from snoozing.

If it is NOT box stock, remove 3rd party apps. Then, if it acts correctly, add the apps one by one until you find the problem app. Some 8125 apps/techniques do not work properly on my 8525. I'll be more specific after the 1g MicroSD arrives and I begin to build "My 8525."

Good luck.

I will probably have it swapped out...

Pete,

thanks for the comments. I began having the problem in the store before any apps were loaded. I called 611 and they said to bring it in the store. I am still sold on the unit. I have a 1 gig Mini SD and it runs very smooth! Take it easy!
