    Guys have a weird problem I know someone here can help. The inside LCD does not show anything, well its there but just not visible, even if I close and open the flip the LCD does not get lit. BUT if I power on the phone with charger connected the LCD is on and remains ON even when I removed the charger and does not go into screen saver mode.
    Any idea what might be going on with my phone...?
    Many thanks for your time.

    The firmware info can be found on my iDEN links sticky key words:
    Motorola iDEN support.

    The following is from the i880 users guide.
    The Advanced menu contains advanced Settings features...
    • Reset Defaults Reset Settings returns all settings to their original defaults;
    Reset All returns all settings to their original defaults and erases all stored lists.
    Use only under the direction of Nextel Customer Service.

    Re: i880 with problems with flip

    tried resetting, nothing change, as-is.... I am out of warranty, though i talked to the tech he says may be something to do with hardware and advised me to send it to moto directly. costs me $$ even if they don't fix it? weird. Anyway I will wait for some hardware guy to pass by my post, have until next weekend for me to start on it myself, am back to my old loved i830.
    Thanks everyone for ur time.

    Re: i880 with problems with flip

    Just get the insurance and wait til the next month and cancel it if you don't think it's worth having but 5bucks just incase is good enough for me. I got to know the girls and guys at my nearest repair center so incase I ever have any questions I call. they give me a time I show up and less than 15mins. I'm good to go!

    Re: i880 with problems with flip

    Even though this thread is from last year, some of you may still be having issues with the flip on your i880:

    If your i880 is still under warranty, simply take it to your nearest repair center, the flip issue is a common problem with this phone model and Sprint/Nextel is aware of it, i've had mine replaced twice under warranty.

    (oOO\ (||||)(||||) /OOo)

    Any mis*****ings or grammatical errors in the above statement are intentional;
    they are placed there for the enjoyment of those who like to point them out.
