having previously had a w900i phone i remember that when i sent txt messages on it i would write out the message and it would give me a list of the last 7-8 contacts that i had sent messages to previously. a great function but it also had the ability to delete contacts from the list in order to be able to keep the list to purely contacts that you use on a regular basis.
having just bought a w950i i sent a couple of messages on it and found the same function was applicable and a small list of previous contacts appears when creating a message. However, when you try to delete these contacts from this list to be able to create only regular contacts there is no such option and i have tried every single which way in order to either edit these lists or turn them off completely without sucess. has anyone else got any info if you can edit these contacts or delete them at all?

Hi!
easy question ! I got my Martin Fields now....
what would you use to clean the screen before applying the screen protector? Getting into the corners is hard...
I have a lens cleaning cloth and can get the main part looking perfect!

@W950i owners...
Hi... I noticed that the W950 doedn't let me access the menu even in FLIGHT MODE if the SIM card is NOT present. Screen shows "Insert SIM".
Ideally, as a smartphone it should boot up even without a sim.
Have you noticed this or anything different ?
Posted by ashyak36
no the equalizer cannot be changed manually which is bit of a let down because it means my k750i is louder then the 'walkman' w950i. a bit of a let down in that department i must say

Hey guys, just got my new W950i for christmas, I have one question though.. with my N70 I could answer a call and immediately divert the sound to the speaker phone.. with the 950 I have to answer the phone, tell them to hold on and navigate through a couple menus..
Is there a better way to do it?
Posted by yiqiang85
i have some Chinese songs uploaded in my SE W950i.. But what surprises me the most.. it doesn't have Chinese Language Files pre-installed in it( unlike most phones i owned.), does anyone know where can i get that chinese language files? i bought W950i as my workplace doesn't allow me to walk around me with a built-in cameras in my phone.. So this phone is pretty God-send.. And i kept getting low memory warning from the phone even though i had remove most clip-arts, sounds and application installation from the phone's memory..
P.s: I'm in love with this phone too.. =)

Got my w950 last week. Very impressed but there are a few things that irritate me, for instance the fact that mp3's with non asci/unicode characters crashes the player and that the menu's aren't more customizeable. Otherwise it's perfect.

I wonder...what do you think, will the Maria project get the same housing as the w950 ? Is it worth to wait until it will be released ? I want to buy a w950, but now, that the Maria project is annouced, i don't know...
Posted by captaineff
Where do you save the Themes when you download them onto the computer? Do you create a new file for it ?
Thanks a lot :]
Posted by alan0ng
@yiqiang85
try to move the files to the phones memory, cause you got two memories in the phone. one's the phone memory other one is the 4gb memory, which is the one you should be using to store files. by default its saved to the 64mb built in to the phone.
@captaineff
Just drag the files to your phone once its connected to computer, drag it to a folder on the phone, i transferred mine to the "other" folder. disconnect phone from computer, open the theme and your phone will automatically see it and ask you if you wanna use it.

try looking on my symbian.theres a thread there about the bluetooth PAN
Posted by Dogmann
@Charge426,
Unfortunately there is no easier way to activate the speakerphone and is a common complaint made by a lot of UIQ3 device owners currently.
@yiqiang85
You are confusing storage memory with Ram and the warning you are getting is referring to Ram either use the Task Manger and close some running apps or even better download SwissManager (Free) and use that to manage running apps. As unfortunately these new devices are very Ram hungry and are restricted as to how much you can have running at one time. If you like SwissManger there is also a Pro version which you will have to pay for but does have even better options.

any idea of how to increase the volume in the earphones and maybe even the loud speaker?
Posted by ANDYBRAD
yup use the buttons on the side

I must say the build quality on the W950 is excellent, i just dropped mine THREE stories, it bounced of a radiator on the bottom floor and landed on concrete. It is fine, there is a slight dent where it hit the radiator in full force but everything else is perfect. Man, my heart stopped as I watched it fall in slow motion.
Posted by GUCCI.011
WOW!I would have had a heart attack if my W900 dropd frm that height!thats excellent SE has done a great job on the W950 @andrec

the Etymotic ER-6i headphones sound very very loud and the sound quality is just staggering
Posted by ashyak36
@ANDYBRAD
yes i know that. i meant even at full volume the sound is still lower than my k750i. so like i was expecting it to be atleast the same as my k750i as it is a 'walkman' phone
Posted by zyexx
3 stories huh...wonder if i would be as lucky...anyway anybody do the Bluetooth PAN thing and it work...I need to know how to...help please?
Posted by pino
Hi, have the w950i one day now, I like it however....it's rather strange there is no shortcut to your contacts, you can create a shortcut to one contact but not to the contacts menu. *edit*
if you keep a number pressed the contacts will show up
[ This Message was edited by: pino on 2006-12-28 20:55 ]
Posted by yiqiang85
actually you can when you go to common task instead of contacts at the replace menu.. does anyone have links to useable chinese language files?

I just noticed something weird with my W950i. When i turn on transitions, when i move aroung the menu, theres a slight green hue on the entire screen, using the twilight theme btw.
saw a tip that when you open a video file, what would happen is that transitions would move better, mine doesnt, mine wouldn't do the transition effects at all once i have a video open on task manager.
anyone else had this experience?
Posted by Creak
I have album art in every song, but the player don't want to show it in now playing screen, just in album browsing menu. Any ideas ?
The phone restarts, if i want to view the information of a video.
Are these can be a firmware problem, or i should send the phone to service ?

Thanks, dhan_shh... I will give it a try!
Meanwhile, I solved the strange "mp3 read failure". I found that this problem only occured in older files (maybe downloaded b4 the year 2000?). The reason for it? Still a mystery!
By editing the files in Adobe Audition, cutting a bit of the silence at the beginning or end of the track, it becomes a different file - recognizable by my w950i.
A time-comsuming and boring method, but solved the problem!
Cheers,
Ricardo

Actually, I think you'll find that's what's supposed to happen. Having the video player open (and paused) disables transitions, which makes the phone more responsive (or so people say).
Posted by miguel82
that not only happen with the w950. With my p990 is exactly the same. I supose if this happen with the video player oppen, than this a issue that SE can and should fix it with a firmware upgrade to make the phone more responsive all the time dont you agree?

hello,
i was wondering if anybody could/would answer my queries as i would like to have this nearly excellent phone operate as intend.
1. when i set an alarm, it doesn't inform you by keeping the alarm checked nor does the alarm bell turn gold - Does anybody else experience this?
2. can anybody "move to" sent txt messages as i can "move to" inbox sms to desired folder - feature doesn't exist, but hope a work around exists!!
3. When you back up, what does the "Settings" option actually back-up as not seen anything in orange or SE user guide.
thanks in advance

hi guys.
i'm also a proud owner of one of these babys but still got a thing i would like to change:
how can you animate the wallpapers? they are animated gifs but are not animated when i put them as wallpapers. nothing moves!
when i select them as screensaver they are animated. i would love to have a living background.
the other thing is animated gifs as contact-pics. they are not animated and have an ugly white background when the background is supposed to be colorless.
is it possible to "activate" them in some way?
sorry for my english ;> hope y'all understand me.
thx in advance
Posted by Creak
You can't animate the wallpapers unfortunately.

The w950 already has many of the features the m600 and p990 are only getting now. eg the usb fast file transfer thing.
so give it a month or two.
Posted by Creak
I don't even know what to upgrade in w950 :=P
-Maybe a little more stabile video player.
-Animated wallpapers.
The changelog of the new w850 fw claim that the music volume is louder and clearer, maybe they will do this on the w950.
Posted by -Kitsune-
I could give you a substantial list!
Posted by Creak
I see. Well, I'm happy then, that i don't know about other bugs :=)
Posted by oioldman
i managed to get an animated wallpaper - made it myself with 4 images saved as animated gif. 20 images seemed to make it go mad and not work.
had to get replacement handset as bloody alarm would go off everyday at 0630, and the function to disable didn't exist - so not able to test at mo
will look for my gif and double check it and upload somewhere if people want. it is fhm magazine art.
[edit]i lied. it didn't work, but i'm positive it used to, though a master reset may have changed it so it no longer works[/edit]
