for me, i am still waiting for a new firmware. overall experience is great for over a month now. rarely i got kern errors or phone crashing. im quite a heavy user, texting, wifi and taking pictures. again, im a happy p990i user. not to mention this is my first p series and yes, flip off since day one.
This message was posted from a P990i
somebody from my- symbian posted that with w950i transition effect can be disabled. lets hope that this will also be included in the new firmware.

Also saw that...looks like they really will finnaly make us not having to use the video trick 
These are my main desires/predictions for the next firmware:
Turn off transitions option
More free memory available for user (similar to w950/M600 would be great)
Opera browser upgraded to the latest version
Rss feeds with images and working in FC

Also means that they may be reading the forums after all, because this was one of the main improvements reclaimed by M600 and P990 users

Hi ares, I am not entirely sure if SE really read our threads, or did Michal actually helped us feedback to his SE contact. Let's check with Michal to confirm on this

Q: I have R7A001, R4F01, R3B01, R3B01 (India). I still have the following problems
a) the phone hangs (usually at the most imooportune times) sometimes when I want to send a message (SMS), sometimes when I am recieving a call, and sometimes when I want to take a photo. My Win-XP laptop and WM5 Atom are more reliable (now that IS saying something).
b) speakerphone volume is quite low.
c) I sometimes get the message corrupt memory card (I have a 1GB card) even after having formatted the card (on the 990).
d) battery life is 1.5 days instead of the expected 4-5 days.
Where do I go for a solution. I have missed a nice photo-op, an important call (the phone showed caller ID and starting vibrating - though not ringing - but would not let me take the call and I had to re-boot the phone) and this is getting frustrating.
SE (India) says that rebooting the phone 2-3 times a day will help. I say WHAT????

1. Reflash
2. Back-up, Format Internal Drive or Master Reset
3. Restore
4. Don't restore any old data, setup again/re-sync with outlook etc
5. Don't use the 1GB Duo card (is it a good make?)
6. Don't install any third party apps at all
7. Monitor the results and let us know what happens |

Thanks for everything.
1. what is Reflash (does it mean powering the phone off and on again)?
2. I have my contacts backed up on my laptop's outlook.
3. how and what do I restore?
4. Restore without resoring old data? How do we do that?
5. my Duo card is from Sony.
6. I dont have any 3rd party apps but just installed swiss manager

okay,
Simpler solution but you'll lose all your data and set-ups. If you don't mind losing ring tones and internet/wap settings. Actually you could copy ringtones and images to the Duo card. However I still think you should remove the Duo card initially and don't install any apps at all.
Go to Tools>Control Panel>Other>Master Reset the PIN is 0000 and select to delete everything.
Re-start the phone and see if stability improves.
For info on reflashing please see the SE Support web site on the SE Update Service software. |
