Mobile phones. Orange or LG Electronics: who fails?

On August 2010 I bought from Orange Romania SA a mobile phone, LG GT405. First video that I made was with deficiency, but I didn't use the warranty to repair it.
 
 After one year, the touch screen is blocked, so I went to the store from where I bought it asking to be repaired.  I mentioned both the problems with the touch screen and the video. The warranty is for 2 years.
 
 I received back the mobile phone, with the mention that the touch screen was replaced. No mention about video. The quality of the videos remained the same. I sent it back asking to take a look at the video.

The memo, written in response by Assistant Attorney General Virginia Seitz, overruled the long-held position of the DOJ’s Criminal Division and found that the Wire Act applies only to sports betting.
