I just installed Vista 1.3 theme, despite all my efforts I was not able to reproduce the problem. (World 1, latest fw)

My WLAN has been working since I bought the phone. It has only stopped working since I updated the phone. What now smart ass?
And by the sound of it I think you might be an employee of SE. Get some work done instead of trying to deflect attention from your poorly made device. LOL
By the way... Just thought I'd mention the fact that I read the whole manual AND have an IT degree. And probably wrote the book on wireless networking. This phone is crap.

Yeah, and it looks like SE is using your book 
First, please watch your language, I know first hand that the P990 can really irritate a person but people are here to help and learn from each other.
I've had a lot of WLAN problems before the update (WPA was not working - confirmed by SE support). And before you complain, I am an electronics engineer, Ph.D., with a predominantly IT background and have had experience in almost all fields of IT since 1982 when I started to work professionally. After the update however, I've had no WLAN problems, no restarts and no kern-exec errors. I follow a couple of forums and the general consensus is that this fw has solved a lot of problems and is a step in the right direction and I agree with that.
I'm sure there is a reason why you are having WLAN problems but general experience indicates it's not correct to blame it on the fw update. So, be an engineer and troubleshoot the problem

As I can see in this forum as well as in my symbian it's not a general bug at all but your device specific problem. |

I can't quite keep track of who was using which theme regarding this full screen video volume issue, but I may have a suggestion. I think ares mentioned he is using Vista 1.3, which I used to use also with no problem. But then Vista 1.4 came out, which I tried using, and I found it to consume a lot of memory and have a couple problems. To those having the problem, what version of the Vista theme are you using? If it is 1.4, try version 1.3 and see if the problem still exists. Sorry if you already mentioned version numbers, but as I said, it was hard to keep track.
To stay on topic with the firmware, I will just add that this latest update was superb. To be honest, I didn't have many problems with the old one, but the phone just feels more reliable and faster with the new firmware. I can use it all day (starting with 17.7 MB free RAM!) and at the end of the day, things are still running with around 10 MB. Yesterday, I was interrupted while browsing the web, and I had to leave an important webpage up without closing the browser. After using the phone for the rest of the day (calls, email, RSS, music, etc.), I was amazed to find Opera still running with my webpage waiting for me. Hopefully the future will bring even better experiences. |

@makbil & madmorrocon
You should both know the first thing you do to try and fix a PC is restart it then and SE have just reduced the use of this great repair tool

This was good
Are we going to see the days where the P990 is more stable than Microsoft Windows (any version)? Shouldn't be too difficult

Yawn... Nothing to add... good luck with your rubbish phone... My blackberry has been ordered. Real business phone. Not an expensive show off toy.

Couple of observations apart from what has already been mentioned on the forum.
1/ Zingmagic Chess game purchased for P990 still virtually unplayable due to memory leak. Has to be shut down & restarted after about 5 moves.
2/SMS still showing phone switch on receive time. Have noted others advise this has been fixed? Am using same carrier as with my old P900 which gave me actual SMS receive time when phone switced on. Go figure.

Pardon me if this has been stated before, but I've just discovered that the annoying (to me, at least) Opera browser password manager can now be turned off.

For me, that option was there in R7 too.
