..... and so on

Manufacturer:-

RM-914_im_india_269

I was using Lumia Black and updated it to 8.1 ( Cyan) from my phone itself ( official release). I updated to Cyan OS not longer than a month back. Everything was fine, until recently, a couple of days earlier, when I was talking to a freind of mine on my phone, the call dropped. A notification to restart my phone appered so I did it. Ever since I am stuck on the , " Airplane mode". The flight mode will rapidly switch on and off. So, I am unable to use my Sim and thus, no whatsapp, no calls..social life has been paralyzed. 

I tried Hard reset ( about menu-> reset your phone) :- three times

Soft reset:- several times

Changed SIM :- a dozen times

Tried the twitter team suggestion ( I had found on this forum itself :- http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumia/Lumia-1520-3-and-official-8-1-stuck-airplane-mode/td-p/2855086)

Now trying Nokia Software Recovery Tool 1.5.0 but the problem is that it is downloading 3058.50000.1425.0001, which I beleive is 'Cyan' again. I am also worried, I won't be able to downgrade to Lumia black  which I am missing a lot. Anwho, I am  currently downloading it and will see what happens, but If Nokia's Technical team can provide a solution for this software/firmware related glitch, I will be a happy fella. I am wondering, about the first occurence of this problem which I researched as being reported on Nokia official forums, 2-3 months back. By now a trustworthy solution should have been found and posted online.

    It seems that Nokia/Microsoft really don't give a damn about existing customers!

    I think that the solution to this problem is:-

    NOKIA must replace all our phones with a new one, as the problem arose from their side.

    Tell me what's our fault in it..huh?

    I was just talking on the phone with my brother when the flight mode penetrated my system like a virus.

    A VIRUS IT IS for us.

    NOKIA please replace our phones, so that we can recommend you to our coming generations.

    Intel replaced all the chipsets which were showing calculation error after a certain decimal places. 

    8.1 got launched without proper testing or what?

    Either NOKIA should provide a downgrade to the sweet old 8 (black) or I see no reason that people will buy NOKIA just to get a better camera.

    Lumia 620

    Airplane mode: stucked - can't exit; if I press the switch, it comes back to original position. Pressing button on notification panel cause switching on and off extremely fast. 

    Replace SIM_ not working

    Remove SDcard_ not working

    Restart to factory settings_ not working

    System recovery_ not working 

    It seems to be more hardware issue. Something related to USB charging port. Sometimes when system is trying to "turn on and off" that airplane mode and I plug in charger, it seems to change its behaviour. Maybe just some lagging, but... I am pretty desperated by this issue. No calling, no texting, useles phone. 

    Thanks for advices... Petr
