the alarm thing is sooo funny! se is just plain humurous.. they're going to remove a problem but adds another one. i have a very important appointment earlier. i have my career on the line for that 10:15pm appointment. set the alarm, tested the alarm sound..loud enough. so i wonder why are you guys talking about a very low alarm sound. it sounds really loud and good enough for me. after that, turned phone to flight mode to prevent disturbances. decided to sleep. and i dont know what happened next. i just woke up 12:00mn with my phone near me whispering like a cricket! hahahaha! so the next r6 firmware will have some issues fixed and another buncha surprises..

Hi
Finally I updated my P990i thru SEUS and its working faster than previous version but I'm bit confused of seeing the memory bcoz on the status manu "Available memory shows 5.9MB but at device storage memory shows 19/62 and don't understood why this imblanced figure showing.

Anyone plz explain this reason...

Thats because its talking about the RAM of the fone that is available, not the amount of space available, they are two different things...

I want the auto keylock to work in fc mode without using the automatic input lock.That should say i want the auto keylock to work in flip of mode without using the automatic input lock.


now really, is there a difference between the 2? While I agree, only the auto input lock works, the auto key lock does the same.

Mine does not either.

I was getting a lot of restarts (on incoming calls) with auto key lock on. so I guess what the smart guys is SE did was to disable auto key lock altogether.

Imagine if this mehod was used by Honda or GM.

Problem:
Brakes fail if the Stereo is on

Solution:
Remove Stereo

@navinadv and mange69:
BOTH keylocks work fine for me (with R5A17). There is one "Automatic keylock" under Security > Locks in the Control Panel, and that one only works when the flip is closed. The other one, "Automatic input lock" is found under Device > Screensaver in the Control Panel, amd that one is only for Flip Open/Off. I guess you're just using one of the two... If that's not the case, you should do a master reset or internal disk format.

Don't ask me why split the keylock in two, they just did.

I have 17.1 MB with SMP. It would depend on what additional applications you have running. AFAIK there is no standard minimum RAM requirement.
Also, IMHO how much RAM you have at boot time does not indicate how well the device will run. There is still possibility for considerable improvement if memory management is improved and memory leak can be stopped.
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

I too have the problem where I could focus the camera in macro mode then switch to video and enjoy perfectly focused close-up video. Now when i switch to video the focus resets. Why on earth do they do things like this, it makes me so mad.

Personally my P990i doesn't seem any faster than before. POP3 email works through Wifi but no longer works through GPRS, no matter which of the O2 settings I try, the ones from O2, ones from SE, nothing works.

The "jane" voice in TOMTOM now sounds really tinny and terrible.

My final gripe (for now)...previously you could take a picture on the largest setting with it set to "fine" and send it to someone. Now it just says it is too big and the message will not send., For god's sake every other SE phone simply asks "do you want to resize the image for sending".

I was sat in my local pub the other day fiddling round with my stupid P990i when a bloke down the bar whipped out his immaculate P910i.....I asked him if he fancied a direct swap and he said NO!!!!! enough said.

I'm not updating to this FW. I'll stick with the previous one. Phone is stable and don't see this has improved enough to update.

This firmware is much better than the last one - my upgrade was flawless and the firmware is noticeably faster, more stable and generally a pleasure to use.

I would suggest that many of the gripes/problems being expressed in this thread could be solved with a second flash or internal disk format and that users should try these things before starting rants about how bad SE are. I would also suggest not installing any 3rd party software which isn't absolutely necessary for day-to-day use.

Did they separate the two in this new FW? I recall that there were 2 before too, but the auto keylock was enough with FO. Now there isn't.

One other thing is that my Music Player stops playing music after approx. 1 min when using my headphones. Without the there's no problem.

Anyone?
