I know, I know, yet another MPX220 question/problem. I love the phone, but just recently it started turning all the way off when I shut the flip on the phone. When I turn it back on, the date and time is way off, but all of my other data is still on there. Anyone else with this problem?

Yes!! The exact same thing happened to me last night. I'll close the phone, put it in the case I have for it, take it out and it will be off. I turn it back on and the time is way off. The turning off has happened a couple of times but the time thing has only happened once. I had plenty of battery every time.

This is due to either a loose battery connection or a ribbon inside the phone has become loose.

mine was doing it too at first, just closing it would turn it off, or putting it in its case. then i would press on the battery cover and it would also turn off . i finally took the battery out and pressed and released the little conectors on the phone a few times , put the battery back in and it hasnd done it again since .

Thanks for the info! I guess the replacement that cingular is sending me will have the same problems huh? Nice!
