my new P900 is supposed to view microsoft EXCEL and WORD documents. it opens excel ones very slowly compared to my P800. but it does not even see Word documents on my memory stick or on the phone memory. the chump at SE support told me that there was a viewer add on on the CD that came with it. i can't find anything like that? ( i think the "expert" is thinking of the P800 CD ). well, i used the P800 CD i still have and installed the viewer add ons from that onto the P900. IT WORKED, it now see's the Word documents but the excel spread sheets still take longer to open than on my P800. ( the expert said it was not a good idea and wouldn't work ) well, if the phone did what it said i wouldn't have tried it. i also loaded the games from the P800 onto the 900, they played but the colours were all wrong. funny thing though, in the latest " what cellphone ", they show stuntrun on the P900 and the colours are right. is this a photoshop con??? |

Err..my Viewer works. I open the Viewer app and it sees the documents on Duo card in the Documents/unfiled directory. Word docs open without a problem. I did not need to install any additional Viewer s/w.

The applications CD which came with my p900 has the viewers in them to download. I suppose the colour difference of the games is because the games for p800 are optimised for 4056(this number may slightly wrong I can't be bothered to search, lol  ) while p900 works with a colour scheme of 65000 (again not the acurate number)

What is your firmware ?
Do you have an Orange, O2 or generic P900?

Jah, its generic ( well its not any of the others ) i bought it 5 days ago unlocked from a local shop. not an SE service centre though. anyways phone R3A024, bt R5D ,Org R1A05 and CDA R1A04. i posted elsewhere and the concise reply was that restoring from another persons backup would only give me their software, not change the firmware too. and the SE support guy said that the internet upgrade only affects the organiser and not the other 3. ( what use is that? ) you still have to find a SE service centre and get the thing flashed. i tried the internet thing anyway and it did not work at all. it came up with please wait.......checking for SE installation blah blah, but the little bit bottom left on my window said done after only a few seconds and the windows flag top right stopped waving and the 2 little pc screens bottom right on the taskbar weren't doing owt either. some downloadable upgrade service eh??? i fear SE is performing an optical colon inspection on itself? |
