New V360 - Blue Static on screen?

I thought this was kinda odd because you could not do this in my old V300.

As for the CL.gif, this is just an image file with no scripting properties or hidden functionality. The file that I replaced it with was exactly the same file size and pixel size, and was the same render format. This was not changed in a true modding sense, because it did not require a seem edit or flex of any sort. Just a simple file swap.

I highly doubt that I screwed up, because the screen issue happened over a week after changing these files. I didn't touch the actual operating system files, and I backed everything up anyway (which didn't fix the issue).

I am not going to say that it wasn't my fault, but this phone has been quirky since the get-go. The new replacement one has issues of its own. The casing feels jagged in around the seems, and the flip makes a slight cracking noise when opening and shutting. The headset connector intermittedly disconnects, forcing the sound to the external speaker. And the J2ME MP3 player doesn't always "wake up" after opening the unit while its playing (and I didn't touch anything on this one's file system).

All in all, I think that this phone's music functionality was an afterthought. The J2ME MP3 player could easily be added to any Motorola phone that can use Java Apps, meaning that it was not developed specifically for the V360. The other sound player works much better than the J2ME one (it loads faster, it can be hidden so you can use other phone functions, you can fast-forward music, there is a progress bar,and the sound quality is the same) but the volume buttons don't work when the flip is closed and it doesn't look as good. It would be almost perfect if the MP3 player was integrated into the OS, and not a loading App.

Oh well, going to get a SE phone now.
