So it happened again. And this time during a phone call. The f**in' phone shot down again. And a while later... AGAIN. 2 times at 1 day!
I contacted SE support via phone and they said just try to reinstall the FW and see... If that doesn't help send it in.

I love SE but the phones stability sucks big time!

Cheers,
Mange

Hi ive just bought a new w960i and am getting used to it.

So far ive noticed that the phone does not vibrate when being charged and a call comes through, but does when not being charged. Is there an option for this? Is this happening to everyone?

Also i see that the menu system gets a little confused at times, and sometimes when you click into something, it displays another screen for a milisecond before going into the option, does anyone else have this?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

I think you'll find that no SE phone vibrates while on charge.

i was realy frustrated with navigation too but i found an answer to my prayers!
search for GDesk and install it (its free)
it replaces the home screen and you can make your own menu system with seperate pages for different things and it gives you an option of an unbelivable amount of shortcuts im 100% happy with navigation now!

it does not yet say it supports the w960i yet but it works and probably will with the next update.

the 1 anoying thing is you cant lock keys. to do this, press a number on the keypad wich minimizes it and then press * lock as normal. when you unlock it will be maximized again

also anyone looking for apps/games go to ipmart-forum.com and look in the UIQ section. they have a HUGE amount of everything and all free ..tho some arent ment to be

Now I made a reflash of the fw. After that I reinstalled the backup. I found out that the backup did not contain my voice marks and all the work grading my music disappeared. What must I do to save all that?

Btw, this didn't solve my problem with phone turning off it self. In the beginning of the week I'll be sending it in for service.

Here are some pictures on my other problem with the scroll list disappearing in the lower part and hiding behind the menu bar at the bottom.

Got myself a W960 the days before christmas. I'm very pleased with it, but I found one thing, that I also had on my P990, and that is when I have used the web browser for a while in full screen mode and open up my bookmarks the lower arrow in the scroll list disappears and I can't see my 3 last bookmarks. They are hidden behind the soft buttons. I've tried to kill the application and start over again, but without success. The only thing is to restart the phone. Am I alone with this?

Just noticed a slight bug in the phone lock. I had the phone plugged in via USB and when I disconnected it the phone locked and I held the back button to unlock it and where the time should have shown 01:33 it just had 01.

I would love the W960 as an upgrade but reading this really has put me off! I currently have a K800 that is 100% reliable! Does anyone think that SE will address any of the issues above with a FW update? Any FW updates on the Horizon??

Something else I've noticed.

I created a new folder on the menu screen called 'Games' and moved all my installed games there for easy access.

However when I install a new Game/App all the files move back into the Tools folder leaving my Games folder empty!

Anyone else had issues with things not staying where you put them?

Anyone else having problems with the names of contacts changing after doing a pc sync?

After it syncs it duplicates the end of the name.

Example (before sync >> after sync)
John Smith >> John Smith Smith
John Paul Smith >> John Paul Smith Paul Smith
Dave >> Dave

It doesnt seem to happen to everyone but I've not noticed a pattern to it yet.

i think it has been the problem since the day of P990, where newly created folders don't always work the way it should.

but apart from that, the W960 is great for my daily usage

Yes, I have had this several times. Very nasty. Seems to always happen when you use only 1 name field (like "John" in firstname, no last name. This becomes "John John".

I do not sync anymore because of this issue.

I've got a bug where I have a particular contact and they name always comes up with a "(+)" after it in the caller ID.

I've tried deleting the contact and manually adding it again but it still happens.

Also I use the bussiness standby app, and normally between the "Vodafone" and "Today" I get the Walkman button.
But sometimes, instead of the walkman, I get the cell info display.
This has happened only a couple of times, but it seems to be completely random when it does it.
Sometimes when I lose the Walkman button, I have to change the standby app to bring it back. Other time, I just have to enter and exit the menu and it would be back.

Theres also the annoying thing with syncing contacts and all the mobile number comes up as "mobile (w)".
