Okay, I've searched the entire forum and I guess I'm the first to have this happen to their Storm. I pulled it out of my pocket this morning and after a full nite's charge, the battery was dead. My first thought was that it became unlocked and was in some battery-intensive mode in my pocket that killed the battery.
I got home tonight and recharged the battery and when the phone came on, instead of the normal screen, I got a light blue background with tiny pixels of blue and red scattered on the entire screen like some crazy Monet French-impressionist painting!
I plugged it into my computer and much to my surprise, the phone synched and even picked up on some phone number changes I made the day before. So I decided to wipe the phone and reinstall OS version 75 (I tried upgrading to the unauthorized new versions that float around this site awhile back and went back to 75 because of major problems ). The installation went without a hitch, however I still have that crazy "Monet" screen and the phone does not work (calling it goes directly to voicemail).
A call to Verizon has them sending me a replacement phone, but I was wondering if anyone has had this problem? I could not find the thread if there has been.
I believe the poster wasn't actually referring to a work of art appearing on his screen. Monet did paintings that often appeared jumbled and weird. The "monet" screen is where pixels of different colours appear randomly on the screen. It is usually fixed with a battery pull, but in this case would seem to indicate a burned phone. This could be due to a faulty processor or some other serious malfunction of the hardware etc.
