Its a software issue with the phone, which on latest versions has been fixed. Ring Orange and ask them to send you a new one, rather than one from refurbished stock which may use old version of software.

Alternatively ring samsung service and explain the problem and they will be able to fix it and give you an address to send the phone to for free repair providing its under warranty.

hmmmm.....

Well at your own risk, if you kill it, dont blame me:

(back it up first)

Download optiflash3.7 from the directory below - the flash file and flasher are all in the one zip.

ftp://81.139.49.89/apps/

errmm....enjoy

There are only 3 buttons, pretty obvious really.

Backup, Flash and Verify.

Backup = backup your firmware
Flash = Flash your firmware
Verify = Verify that the flash file matches your HID.
