Actually, from personal experience, you cannot recieve service from any SE service center. Depending on where you purchased the phone (P990 to my knowledge), that is where you will be able to receive service for your phone under warranty. And sometimes the problem is, if you send your phone to the original country where the phone was purchased, the SE service center may not send the phone back to anywhere outside of that country. It's a huge pain, I know. I lived through it. There's a blurb in the manual about this, under the warranty details.

Yes, they check a database to see if it is a legally imported phone. I lived through the experience with my P900, due to some error, it wasn't in the database. I got furious but the store that sold it, the importer and SE sorted it amongst themselves within a couple of days. I should say that I was lucky to have bought it from a large store that had some leverage with both companies. After all, it was their reputation on the line as well, they wouldn't like to be known as sellers of illegal goods 
P990i: A mistake, a curse and a disgrace  So I lowered my expectations and settled for a P1i. I couldn't keep my expectations so low for a long time so now I have an HTC Touch HD |

I already said it, iīm having ALOT less problems than before, and also saw to friends of mine avoiding selling the phone after instaling the new firmware + format internal drive + avoid restoring backups, and they had quite worse experience with r3b01 than me
I had 3 reboots and about 6 kernel errors in my usage of the phone since the 2 of January, and before i had at least 1 reboot every week or so, and the kernerl errors happened alot
But there is alot for SE to correct yet, i agree, and specially i donīt get why there are these different experiences with the p990...for instance i see people talking about reboots when getting calls, i never had this, ever! Also, i see people talking about reboots quickly after updating, etc, all things i didnīt experience, and that i see others didnīt also
SE should give a look to this, and not just the memory problems, all users should have the same experience

At last you are comming round to my point of view  should do something.
The latest bug I have uncovered is the inability to change the view of the activity menu, sometimes its list view sometiomes its grid but there is no option to change it!
To give me a better user experience the phone shuts down about once a week to "improve performance" In my view the best way to improve performance would be to do the job as well as my P910i!
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

Just a quick note, I keep on seeing requests to format the internal drive. Am I missing something as I can't find a format option on the handset other than to format the Memory Stick. Probably me just being stupid but could someone please tell me how do I format the internal Memory.

You have to enter the service menu: In standby mode flip on:
ju * jd ** jd *
ju=jogwheel up
jd=jogwheel down
In flip off you have to press enter to get the phone screen and use the same as above. Good luck!

I`d thought master reset is the same as formatting the internal drive

It doesn't matter.
After the master reset, you've already lost all your work, the internal format takes less time and trouble than posting a query here, and it guarantees a clean phone.
So just do it.
better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. |
