I think in 2000 or 2001 when BT was first released on phones, we were using BT to start chatting to girls . We were making a BT search and when we find girly user names we were sending our pictures with some notes because BT was new at those times, the girls found it amazing too. So I made good GF's , I even dated a famous Pop Star with the helps of my BT on my Nokia 7650. However those were the good times, and at that time there wasn't too many viruses trojans etc.
Since then I'm married and I don't do stuff like that, but I always keep my BT on and visible to other devices, as long as I don't accept anything stupid everything will be fine.

If anyone can help me I'd be grateful!
I can sync the phone via bluetooth, which operates fine. But I can't get my pc to recognise the phone when connected via usb. It's driving me nuts.
I've been into the mrouter and sync settings to see if there's something wrong, and even un/reinstalled all software a few times but no difference.
When connected for the first time the drivers all install, but the error message comes up that "there was a problem with your hardware installation and it might not work properly." After this point I try to connect the phone and no good. It connects ok if I change the settings to file transfer, but when switched back it's not found.
I've tried the newest pc suite upgrade and also installed the newest firmware which the phone was already shipped with, but no result.
Any ideas welcome.

Hi all, it would be really useful if those of you with the P990 could report problems here as the other P990 thread covers too much.
many thanks

What FW do you use? SE has come out with 2 new FWs since I got my phone. Last one for about 2-3 weeks ago.. Check the p990 firmware thread.

I don't think there is a way.. yet.. Let's hope someone at SE think of the same thing and make a change in some future update.

Is it possible to connect to the internet with BT??? The only way to use internet on the p990 is via GPRS/3G or WLAN.
Don't know what kind of BT you have on your computer.. must be something special BT-thing that talks with your modem or so?

hey everyone!
i bought and installed im+ on my 990, i have been using it for a few days now, but recently it has started to give me an error saying "memory not enough" and then it shuts down......i have a 2gb card in my phone, wat can i do to rectify this.?
|

I get this all the time especialy when trying to run "wayfinder" the gps program, the message you are getting does not refer to the staorage card you have rather the in devices internal memorywhich it seems to struggle to manage correctly try doing a firmware upgrade if you can that may help.
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. |

Hi ppl i've just bought the P990i and upgraded the firmware to the latest available. And i'm facing too many problems, here are some:
1. In flip closed mode when I unlock the keypad with the slider, my phone displays ‘123 selected’.
2. During a call (in flip closed) if I increase/decrease the volume with the jog dial, it displays ‘123 selected’, and when I press done/ back, it displays ‘abc selected’.
3. If I have assigned a ring tone for a contact, sometimes it plays the
assigned ring tone and sometimes it plays the default ring tone. (Memory card or song file not changed). (Same with contact picture).
4. In the flip open mode when I press the activity menu button sometimes it opens the activity menu as it would open in flip closed.
5. When I view pictures in thumbnail mode, all the picture in the camera folder (taken from camera) are displayed very blurred, until opened.
6. When I make a call from my phone sometimes it happens that later when I check, the number is not there in the call list.
7. If the flip is closed and I put my phone in a cover (I had bought a Sony Ericsson leather cover for P800/P900), while sliding in, when the phone comes near the cover magnet it goes into flip open mode.
8. Is there an option where I can assign the phone not to ask me for the option of flight mode when I press the power key, like there was in its predecessors.
9. If I go in control panel, then connections manager, there is one- Ad-Hoc Bluetooth PAN; if I click on it, it show the status, which says connecting, and if I press close then it closes it, but as soon as I press back it switches it on again. I guess this might be using my battery unnecessarily. What is this? How can I turn this off?
10. When i play the golf game, the screen keeps flickering non stop, and the game hangs for about a second in b/w every now and then.
And obviously there are a lot of other small small problems.
Please Help!!!

Some answers:
3. Probably not the case... but when the USB-cable is connected of you have the phone in the dock, the phone doesn't communicate with the card, the computer does.
4. I have had this bug too. To get rid of it when happening open the activity meny in FC and close the activitymeny before opening the flip. It helps most of the times.
7. Lol.. this it because the screen feels the flip through a magnet in the flip. Guess the magnet in the cover reverse the magnet in the flip.
8. Yes. Tools/Control panel/ Unit/flight mode/
(Maby not exacly the names of the menus cause I translated it from the swedish menu-system.
