I've just debranded using Davinci to 002 firmware and it seems much faster.
Will see if there are any camera improvements.
What other improvements can I expect to see?
Faster UI, better java performance, better audio quality ? |

Just reflashed my C902 again to see if it helps with the bluetooth issue I'm having. The phone was completely wiped by SEUS and a fresh install done. I used the backup application on the new  pc suite to restore my contacts, calender, tasks, notes and bookmarks and all went well up to this point.
I then went to go into the menu and the phone restarted. I let it boot up again and then had another try but this time I went to access the file manager. Again another restart.
Another boot up and I tried the internet which came up fine. I went into my bookmarks and the phone froze with the egg timer displaying. After 2 hours I'd had enough and pulled the battery out.
Phone restarted fine. I went into the file manager with no problems and looked through my memory card only to find that my bookmarks were not there (they were stored on my memory card). Strange I thought.
I went into the phone memory and to the bookmarks folder and the phone reset again. Tried this 5 times all with the same result.
Took the memory card out of the C902 and put it into my Vaio just to check there was no faults on the memory card. All was fine. Also checked the files stored on the card and found that the Bookmarks had all been deleted.
My next thought was to do yet another backup of the phone but this time without having the memory card in and also unchecking the bookmarks, notes and tasks. basically just backing up the Contacts and Calender.
I then reflashed using SEUS (again) which wiped the phone and reinstalled everything again.
Used the pc suite to restore my Contacts and Calender. Put the memory card back in and.......everything is fine and accessible again.
Basically I've found that if you backup everything on your phone. Make sure you remove your memory card first.
Another solution would be to uncheck the bookmarks tab on the pc suite backup application. Unfortunately by doing this you will lose your internet bookmarks when you update the phone and restore.
As for the bluetooth problem. Not sure if reflashing has worked yet. Will see when I next take a call through my headset.

Yes you should.It's present in both our O2 Uk C902's.You should have google maps displayed in the shortcut's menu and the Location Services part is located in the Entertainment folder.

No shortcuts menu? Probably branded.

Oh it has it's fair share of restarts just like the other A200 platform phones. Just not as many.

Give it time. The A200 platform is designed to restart itself when the programming encounters an error/conflict in its system. Restarting clears the errors.
Similar to the Symbian platform when they used to restart when memory was running low.

I have had the C902 a month now and have two technical problems. The most irritating one is the music and video split second pauses. The music seems to happen more often despite a lower bitrate. Very annoying.
A couple of other people have mentioned it. I do have a Sandisk 4GB M2 card but I thought this may be a problem and copied music to the phone. Still getting the pauses but perhaps not as frequently. Maybe once every few tracks. If I have a visualisation on screen like when viewing the tracks when the music pauses the animation pauses too. I think the pause is more an indication of the processor struggling as it is just easier to notice in a constant stream of video or music than when scrolling through menus.
My other issue is the screen glitching in video camera and photo camera mode. These glitches and those damn pauses record into the video too.
I am sending it back for repair as no firmware update is available on T-Mobile.
