The GPRS indicator is off because in the internet settings you have selected GSM (CS) mode only. It doesn`t mean anything, only switches the GPRS antenna off therefore you save battery power. When you`ll try to go online or send/receive MMS it will switch itself back on. This is quite common for all SE phones, but some branded ones (3G UK) have it on at all times as default.

I have the following problem with the Music Player on my P1i:
I have appr. 980 songs (ripped in AAC+ 64 kBit) on a 4GB SanDisk M2 stick.
When I press play in the Music Player it takes more then 5 minutes before the first song starts to play. When I go to the next (or previous) song manually, it takes also a couple of minutes before that song starts to play. If I do not touch the controls after the first song starts, it works most of the time perfectly (except the startup delay).
FreeBird
Found the solution to my problem. Before I had all my songs in one directory.
By putting my music collection in subdirectories (I decided to do it by artist), everything works perfect now.
Interesting though that the same structure I had before (all songs in one directory) works perfectly on my W880i.
Anyway, case closed.

I don't know if this is a problem people might have but...
I have installed an instant messaging program called eBuddy. (u can google it in and the the beta version)
It automatically installed in the tools folder. Is there a way to change it so i can install it a different place?
The real problem for me is that i moved it to the entertainment folder. But every now and then it would go back to the tools folder...!!??? I have to keep moving it back to the entertainment folder.
(the last time i had to move the program back into the entertainment folder was 4 days ago but i know that it will go back to the tools folder soon).
ALSO: i seemed to have realized that it happens when i install a new program into my phone...At least i think so. Anyone else has a similar program or can explain why this is happening?

did you install to memory card? if so when you remove the memory card and put it back in it might map back to tools and take a few mins to map back to the entertainment folder... |

I have only took it out three times but just to show some people how tiny the mem card was.
But this has happened more than three times.

Thanks a lot S.Mark. Changing to "Automatic" solved the problem as you suggested. Both my M600 (generic) and P990 (Vodafone branded) were also set to Automatic but my generic P1 was set to "CS only". Of course when I called Sony Ericsson to ask about this, they could not come up with the answer. I should know better than to waste money calling them when the answer is always available from the Esato community free of charge.
Thanks guys! |

^ the SMSs received with the wrong time stamps are from local (Chinese) contacts, on the same time as me.
so probably, instead of changing the time manually when moving between time zones, you actually have to set a new time zone as your "present location" or you'll get the wrong time stamp? perhaps not a bug but it is significant to how the UIQ OS works (so smart its dumb).
In "Location" I have set current time zone and home time zone both to New Delhi, India. Also, I have set "Zone of interest" to GMT. However, SMSs received are almost all with the wrong time stamps ! Anyone can help? |

I think it happen whenever you use your P1 as a mass storage. |

When sending a photo via MMS the P1i does not automatically re-size the photo. In the settings "creation-mode" seems to be greyed out and I can not change that.
Any advice please? Thanks! |

I read that large emails caused the email application to shut down with the P990 but never experienced it. I thought it wasn't an issue for me as the keyboard on any phone is just too small to write anything too lengthy. However, this morning I wrote my first email on my P1 and the app shut down (Reason code: CTextLayout usin Reason number:8 ). I was forwarding a short email and writing a short message when it happened. When I tried again, the same thing happened at exactly the same point in my message. My message has 29 words (plus signature box and the relatively short original message). I tried saving the message to the outbox and then reopening it to continue but my first input would shut the app down again. I sent the message off as I had virtually finished my email anyway but thought I would try forwarding the email from the Sent box. Interestingly, I could add as much text as I wanted without causing any shutdown but as soon as I tried to add more text to the original sent item, the app would shut down again. It would seem the problem is not a question of length but one of layout as suggested by the reason code (CTextLayout).
I'm going on holiday on Friday and was hoping to rely solely on the P1 but it now looks as though I'll have to bring along my M600 (and I never thought I would say this, my P990 as well!). I hope my experience was just a one-off for such a short email as I never had it with the previous phones. The SE helpline suggested I write the email in the Notes application and then cut and paste it into the email. Haven't tried that yet.

It's a very well known problem for the P990 users and one that SE is aware of. It seems that SE didn't put too much effort into P1 to try to solve known problems.
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 |

This problem is fixed for the P990 in fw R6E28 released on Aug. 1. I'm assuming the first fw update for the P1 will also fix this.
As for SE's advice to use Notes application, doesn't work. Notes and email applications are both affected by the CText error. You can try Quick Word but don't edit within email after pasting, just send it.
