Problems:
No personalised ringtones if Bluetooth is switched on.
Camera switches to video for no reason.
Can't add jpegs to all contacts, shows broken picture symbol even though same picture can be associated with other contacts.
Apart from that LOVE IT!!!

I've got problems with sertain WAP Push messages: When I receive a WAP Push message (not all "types" it seems), the message inbox comes up with the warning "Not found" when I scroll to the received message. I'm not able to delete the message (using Select All -> Delete message), I get the same message "Not found".
If I scroll from bottom to top, i.e. from the oldest messages to the newest, I see the old ones until I've come to the part of the list where the push message is supposed to be.
I called SE Support and they did not know about this problem (as expected...).
But there is a solution, you do not have to reflash/restore. Go to Control Panel - Unit - Storage Wizard (translation from Norwegian, I guess you find it). Here you can go to the part where you can empty your message inbox. That deletes the problem. I'm sertain this is a bug, I've reveiced similar WAP Push messages with my P900 without problems. |

Problem receiving SMS messages..
Say incomplete, and access denied when trying to open...
I found a workaround by forwarding the message (FC) when I can read it.
funny thing is a very few of them do come through...
And this is the 2nd P990 I have got, and the fault was on the first one as well..
first one was very unstable, this is much, much better..

@einst
Which network do you use and which FW do you have? I have used O2 and T-mobile on my Generic World P990 and SMS works fine.
Join the 'dots' and see what happens |

Hi Jah, thanks for the quick reply..
I'm on VF.. Most messages I get are from a colleague on Orange, which don't come through...
I do get some from another guy, but network unknown.. (07849)
As I said.. this "bug" happened on both handsets..

Speaking of bugs; I noticed that (FO) eventhough l scroll to the very bottom with the scroll bar on the right side of the screen, in some applications I have to use the jog dial to scroll down even more. Some parts are not seen if I just use the scroll button.
Forexample!
when reading the help topics of the P990. Especially long texts which need scrolling down
or when viewing word files

When you lock the keypad in FC, and then open the flip and then close it again, the softkey labels do not appear on the FC screen. It doesn't really affect anything because you would have to unlock the screen to press a button, but it is just an aesthetic bug.
Also, when you access the Task Manager in FC by holding down the "More" button, the "More" label remains highlighted when you exit the Task Manager and return to the standby screen. Again, not a serious problem, but annoying visually.
Sorry if these were mentioned already. |

Just an update to my SMS problem..
of those that don't come through properly, one is on Orange, another is O2..
I don't know the 07849 network, and even then, with number porting, it could be any one of them.

hi, i recently got my P990 on orange, and boy i hate the branding on it. Anyone got rid of the orange branding?
Probs iv encounterd are
1. Cant delete messages in FO mode without pressing the delete or 'c' key
2. Contacts crashes after adding birthdays to calender for 3 contacts.
3. Used wifi and green light sometimes flashes forever when i disconnect the Wlan.
4. No option to which resize a pic for MMS should be resized to like other SE Models.
5. Battery life is terrible. 3 days should be minimum not 1 with good use. |

try to un-install the Symbian Drivers from Add/Remove Program then re-boot and connect the P990 and let the PC re-install the drivers. i have found that these drivers can become corrupt if you add another device to your PC/laptop after installing PC Suite. If Symbian Drivers does not uninstall properly, uninstall PC SUite. |

thx for the replies, though uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them solved nothing, i found that i could unplug the phone without crashing the system by disabling the USB controller (Sony Ericsson P990 Composite Device), could its' drivers be corrupt?
Update:
apparently, disabling the USB Controller doesn't always work, sometimes disabling it also crashes the computer.
