I hope this will help all the people who have the same 'dust' problem as i'm having.
My G900 has been send to SE Tech once and the removed the dust for me but now there was some dust under the screen *again* and i did not have the patience to wait for my mobile again so i opened it up myself.
It is quite easy if you get the hang of it. I made a blog pst about it with pictures, you can check it out here http://www.cybertim.net/blog/?p=15 |

just download stick it for uiq, its a great sticky note application which you can place on your mainscreen - and you can move it around and resize it too

i don't like it... it's good in the beginning but then it will freeze and turn it self off and it's veeeery slow. symbian is a piece of crap
but it's also a good phone, besides of the things mentioned above...
my rating is 3+
not good, not bad |

Hey, has anybody made a theme for the G900 like the C902's laser precision theme?
Somebody should do that 
Also, whats the best GBC emulator for the G900? I am currently using Meboy, but it doesnt seem to run very smooth with the G900.

I don't know if such theme exists. Find the exact name of the theme and try googling for it. If not, you can try make it yourself with the Sony Ericsson themer creator. Or request the theme on some of the forums. I'm pretty sure that there are some topics for themes request.

Got a G900 a few days ago and have the following comments to make.
The phone is not slow at all and I have been using SE phones or years with the G900 my first smart phone. It is running on the latest customised UK software (R9L004).I am however disappointed with a few things.
1.There are no profiles! They have been on every other SE phone i have had for the last 8 years.
2. The alarm doesnt work when the phone is off. Again something that has always been present on non-smart SE phones. I use this as a wake up alarm as i travel a lot. This combined with the lack of profiles i would have to leave the phone on all night but have to change silent mode to non vibrating and back every day.
3. When I change themes why do the sound and alerts change? Seems stupid as one is listed under display and the other under sounds and alerts. Is this normal?
4. The set up wizard states holding the back button whilst in an application will close it but on my phone it doesnt. I need to open task manager and manually close all the apps. Is there a fault with my phone?
5. I am on O2 but my phone never seems to want to connect to 3G at home or in work but if i pop the same sim card in an old Nokia 6230 it connects to the web via 3G immediately. I have called O2 and CPW but they are saying call the other! Is there any setting i need to change?
6. What does the transitions option do? As i havent noticed any difference with it in or off.
Can someone comment on the above points to tell me if this is normal as i still have time to return my phone for a replacement.
Cheers |

Hello, i noticed exactly the sames thing as you !!
For the transition, switch it in ON/OFF and look the shadow of the menu icons, when you move. The move is simple when the transition is OFF. |

3- it is normal.
4- also it is normal.

The ringtones which change everytime, it is very irritating. |

Thanks for the replies.
I found the profies and alarms (whilst off) very useful. Going into meetings i would set it up to vibrate. Once over switch to normal (low volume). At night at home i would sometimes leave it on all night but in silent with no vibrate. Whilst out and about would have it on loud ring with vibrate. I had the profiles as shortcut on my w810i. It is something that has always been on SE phones and took it for granted and didnt even think that it wouldnt be a feature. i thought all mobiles these days had this feature. Two recent work phones Samsung and nokia also had this feature too.
Is there UIQ3 app that will allow quick profile switching? I got one years back for an XDA and have heard there is an app available for UIQ2 devices.
Oh one other thing i forgot. Can someone confirm there is no manual adjustment of the equaliser as on previous phones? Would installing another verison of Wlakman player rectify this? |
