guys i need some help. i don't know if u've also experienced this coz everytime i open my contacts folder it says there's not enough memory and it goes back to the applications list. then when i checked the memory i just consumed 40%, most of my downloaded applications are in the memory stick.

so what i did was to back-up my files and tried the master reset (btw m also having a hard time synchronizing with outlook). after the reset it was ok, then when i restored the same problem occured.

what do u think is the problem? do i have to upgrade my firmware? or is there really a limit to the no. of contacts (i alrdy have 185 contacts)?

hope i can get some feedback soon... thanks in advance

what causes our P8 to hang, and what can we do about it? it always happens to me whenever i type to fast!!!

Posted by jplacson
There might be one contact with a defective photo or something.

There doesn't seem to be a limit for the number of contacts.

I have over 300 contacts already, most with a photo and personalized ringtone, and complete info.

There's someone on Esato with over 1000 contacts as well.

There must be one contact that's screwing up your database. I suggest trying to sync with Outlook (try to fix it cuz this might be the only way to solve your problem) .. rather than doing a back-up & restore, since this will just copy the glitch to your clean system.

Does SonyEricsson in the philippines officially recognize any p800 user group? if not would it be a good idea to have an official one?

Posted by GOwin
The local SE office un-officially recognizes the old PSEUG.

@*, wee bit of a question guys, sorry if this has been answered before. Could Opera be installed in the memory stick instead rather than in the phone? Would it work using globe's free apn or do i have to use their internet apn? Could i also save images via opera or just view them? Thanks in advance :-D

Posted by 619

Hi, newbie here. I've been lurking around the forums for the past few weeks and I've learned quite a lot Anyway, I'm posting a question here and hoping a kind soul would help out? I'm getting my P800 in a few days (hopefully) and I was just wondering what things I should look out for? Obviously, the basic features like calling and sending SMS, right? What other things should I check so that I know whether to have the unit replaced? I'm just hoping to get feedback from other P800 users here so I know what's normal and what I should actually freak out over. I'm getting my unit from Globe and Smartnet/Semicon or other authorized shops will fix my unit if ever there's a problem, right? As long as I have warranty from Globe? Please help. Excuse the ignorance ;p
Thanks in advance.

@morbid
-check for dead pixels sa screen.
-check for the latest firmware versions. (open flip > applications list > view > system information > phone: R2F)
-check camera cover if may scratches (unless na lang sealed pa yung unit).


peeps, i just realized something this morning. my 6610's speakerphone is much clearer and louder than my P800's speakerphone at the same volume settings..

Posted by morbid.much
@ferrarista, ok. Thanks. will keep those in mind.

I can get the p800 Multimedia and PC Suite SW from Semicon or Smartnet, right? Cos I'm getting P800 thru my carriers loyalty program and I just found out the other day that it only includes unit, battery, 1 stylus, the external memory, standard charger and headset. They consider the SW accessories daw kasi that's why they don't include it sa promo. Phoooey. Anyway, better naman to use Bluetooth than the USB adapter, right? Or am I just convincing myself that I wasn't ripped-off? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again

Posted by jplacson
What?!?! That's dumb... unless SE has a special package for Globe... there shouldn't be anything missing in the P800 package.

Better check again... cuz they might be giving you returned/defective units that have been stripped.

Your P800 SHOULD have 2 CDs, sync cradle, 3 EXTRA (total of 4) stylii, charger, manual, quick quide, unit, battery, stereo headset, wrist strap, nylon pouch and 16MB Duo.

It should have the cradle as well, since you cannot back-up your phone via IR or BT.

Posted by Rotavap
@morbid - u should get all the accessories even if it came from globes loyalty program. i did. just make sure you get the delivery receipt so that you can get warrantty services. @ferr- yeah, owned a n6610 beore and find its speakerphone not just louder but the bass is also fuller

Posted by CyberRay
Hello... anybody here have any idea if sonyericsson will come up with a software/ application or something that would allow the P800 to record and send video clips? thanks...

Posted by morbid.much
@jplacson- exactly, it's dumb. When I told the Globe people that the SW was vital, they said the promo was really like that. They even had the nerve to remind me that I was getting the P800 at the discounted price of 18k. Ya, rub it in. Nice way to treat yer loyal subscribers, eh? I will therefore be on the lookout for any defects since your theory that they might be giving away the returned units isn't so far- fatched. So I need the cradle to back up data? Phooey. I thought I could do that with the Bluetooth USB thing. Speaking of, do you recommend any specific brand that works well with the P800? Thanks again for the info. Really appreciate it.

@rotavap- cool! so you got the complete kit from Globe, eh? That's good news. Did you have them deliver the P800 as well? I hope your phone's not giving you any trouble. Thanks for the info.

Posted by Rotavap
@morbid - yup. got my phone since 1st week May I think. By delivery. And its the COMPLETE set. Upgraded na to R2D.

Your issue is strange.
You shouldnt have received the phone in that case. Call them again and tell them you wont pay for the phone you didnt receive completely. Or placed in the delivery receipt the items you only received, have it countersigned by the delivery person and forward your formal complaint to Globe/SE Phils and DTI.

Got my P800 from Wintelecom more than 3 months ago. All the accessories mentioned by jplacson were there with the exception of the WRIST STRAP. I also checked with 3 other guys who got theirs from the same place- same thing, no wrist strap.

Posted by tr1xt3r
@chris725: are you sure there's no wrist strap? it's a rope-like accessory... was your P800 box sealed when you got it?

Posted by zairak
@* p800 package includes the ff:

P800 w/ stylus + 3 extras
standard battery (BST-15)

SyncStation with USB (CRADLE)
memory stick duo 16 mb
memory stick adapter
handsfree
pouch w/ strap

Morbid - mentioned your problem to my friend at globe and she recommends that you REFUSE to receive the unit delivered to you if lacking even one stylus. send me your details if they try that with you and we will have it investigated

Posted by jplacson
Strange that some P800s come without the wrist strap... hmm... maybe it was like that time with the T28, where some had the belt clip, others didn't... maybe it's just an inventory glitch... I'm guessing those that came without the strap were earlier units...shipped before they decided to add the strap.

Posted by morbid.much
@rotavap- wow, 1st week of May, huh? I placed my order last April 14 pa and they informed me na baka this week or the next pa yung delivery. Oh well...I'll just have to wait and see. So, I don't have the unit yet. It was just the customer rep who told me about what the kit will contain (or won't contain) I'll call them again tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

@vwbeetle- thanks! I will make sure to let you know if they attempt to rip me off.

Will definitely keep all your posts in mind. I don't really know why the customer rep would say something like this, really. I even called again and went through the list of contents of the P800 from the brochure I got from SE just to make sure. They kept insisting that they don't include accessories. Now, it's either they're really trying to rip me off or they have incompetent customer service reps. Phoooey.

To any P800 Smart user/subscriber:

How is the GPRS service of Smart?

I am currently a Globe subscriber and is planning to switch to Smart's Addict package (they have a very good package there, SMS/MMS/Downloads/GPRS all lumped in one Maximum Monthly Allocation of an average of P 500 + free mins for voice). With the same monthly payment of P 1K+ I get a free phone I can give to my daughter.

Thanks in advance.

To Globe users/subscribers:

I have not visited this forum for a while, I would just like a confirmation. Did Globe block access to TipicMe server in their free APN (www.globe.com.ph) and also access to pop mail servers? I used to be able to access them. This is what I feared before, if you all remember. So now, is www.globe.com.ph limited to purely WAP sites?
Does anyone here still able to access the mentioned servers?

Please give your feedback.


Posted by tr1xt3r
@terrible,
the apn www.globe.com.ph only works for wap sites.
you'll need to use the internet apn for java msn, tipicme, and the like.

@chris725,
when did you guys get your p800s? and what was the firmware version when you got it?

Posted by CyberRay
SMART'S GPRS service is very very cool!! since i started using SMART's GPRS/MMS service i never had a problem with it. On time MMS sending/recieving, Fast and reliable GPRS access and lots more! 2 Thumbs up for SMART! Simply Amazing! - Ray, M, 18 A very happy and loyal postpaid subscriber of SMART! =)

Posted by terrible
@CyberRay:

Thanks a lot for the info on Smart's GPRS.
*****************************************************
Any other Smart user/subscriber?


@Tr1xt3r:

I would'nt want to correct you but the reason why I said BLOCK is because I had been using www.globe.com.ph to access my POP e-mail every 15 minutes, connect to the TipicMe server from start of day till sundown and chat (FOR FREE), and update my Currency exchange rates daily since January of this year when I got my P800 until about three (3) weeks ago. If you did not use the free service, then I am sorry, you missed the fun and what you said isn't true then. You should have seen the kilobytes I used to rack up using www.globe.com.ph in my bills.

The only times I had to use internet.globe.com.ph and get charged by Globe: 1) connect my P800 as a wireless modem thru either bluetooth or infrared to browse the internet using either my laptop or desktop. 2) use my P800 Opera browser to browse the Web using my P800.

I hope I enlightened you there. Thanks anyway.
*****************************************************

If Globe BLOCKED the access, I would not be surprised. In fact I already raised this concern to fellow P800 users in the Philippines a few months ago when the Opera browser was just about to be released. We were sooooo lucky then. Racking up on free kilobytes huh. For this reason, Smart suddenly became very attractive with their ADDICT package which lumps all charges for SMS/MMS/GPRS in one Maximum Consumable Allocation (monthly at an average of 500 pesos for all plans).

@terrible

i was a globe user for 7 years and recently switched to smart because of the addict plans. haven't really done any mms so i can't tell you how that works. besides most people i know are on globe so i will just have to wait until there is mms interoperability.

but who cares about mms? in the meantime, i can just email it to them! gprs (both wap and web) work really great! connections seem a little quicker and more stable/reliable than globe's. plus, i can finally access the net when i go to the beach, and i don't worry much about cost since i have a pretty good sized consumable amount!

so do i miss globe at all? not one bit!!!

@senninha:

Thank you very much for the feedback you gave. Your feedback made me reach an easy decision, especially coming from a former Globe user (7 loyal years). I too, am a loyal Globe subscriber. I started using Globe 1993. In fact I still have my Founding Member SIM card. In spite of that though, I would not have second thoughts about shifting to Smart, more so with their quality of service now, it sucks. I even coined a new slogan for Globe: Globe. Making great things possible. Making small things difficult.

Thanks again. I forgot to mention the new free phone I would be getting from Addict.

Posted by jplacson
Well, I have to admit, Smart's Addict packages are a lot better than Globe's... but Smart's WAP is also paid access...so even for something as simple as movie skeds, you'll have to pay.

Since Globe started charging for internet access, and kep their WAP access free... this is what I've worked out on my P800:

-PDI, CNN, Esato This is where most of my GPRS kb goes anyway! & myGlobe are still free...as are thousands of personal WAP sites (mine included) are still accessible via Globe's FREE gateway... the myGlobe WAP site is useful for movie sked, news, and pictures, themes and ringtones...all still free.

-The few times that I REALLY,REALLY need to check my email, or chat with someone on MSN...I'll use the paid gateway... speed is incredibly fast since very few people use it now...

-For my P500 on Globe, I get 40 min, 135 SMS, 400kb internet access, unlimited WAP access (I can still access my Yahoo email from here BTW) ... so unless the regular need arises that I surf by the MB every month, I'll stick to Globe... WAP access is becoming more useful... and you'll be surprised at how useful Google WAP is!!! And the few months that I did go over 400kb on the Internet, it was still affordable anyway.

Personal note: I think both Globe and Smart should come up with unlimited data accounts... very few people have GPRS enabled phones (and know how to use them anyway)... so why not offer unlimited data? Something like P2,000/month ... it would be like getting a wireless internet provider!

@terrible,
whoops, i should have put:
the www.globe.com.ph apn is NOW only for wap sites.

yup, it was free before, but all good things come to an end.
too bad i cant switch to smart, my fone's locked to globe.

Posted by sad1k981
helllo,,,

can someone pls explain 2 me whats teh difference between gprs and wap, i am not previously confused w/ teh 2 but now i am.
hehe...

thanks........

Posted by senninha
wap is the 'language' for the mobile internet, or internet for mobile phones, just like html is the 'language' for the web.

gprs is just a faster means to connect to the internet, compared to the normal gsm dial-up service. also, gsm dial-up is billed on a per minute basis while gprs billing is based on data packets transmitted.

Posted by sad1k981
hehe..
thanks for the reply,

anyone knows wer i can buy a 128mb memory stick? i found one ar greenhills for 8k. anyone knows wer i can found one (locally) for a lower price??

You can still surf a lot of sites using the free WAP gate of Globe... go to www.google.com/wml at least for info and everything, it's still useful! And the most important....I can still surf Esato for free!!!!!

@sad1k981 PM 619 he have 128mb ms duo for sale.
