Bytes... Thanks for the reply..
yeah, pretty wierd that this is on both P990's...
funny thing is that the first one never got a txt properly, but the second one did get about 2 messages ok, before it went belly up.. although I have got 3 txt ok from one person on O2 (found out who is his provider)
so, did you get exactly the same problem... SMS comes in, you go to open and it says incomplete at the top right side of screen, then a box opens and says access denied.
I can go to forward (FC) and I can read the message, so all is not lost.
Just hoping the next firmware update cures the problem.

try dimming the screen brightness, it will help make the battery last longer.
also, set backlight power save to auto & check that nothing in her handbag is pressing against the button of the P990 |

In my friend's case I've installed swissmanager for him, set the brightness to around 60%, power saving is on auto and he doesn't carry a purse. |

I've tried searching all the posts on this site and so far haven't seen any posts about this problem. I received my phone a few days ago (P990i - unbranded) and have spent a lot of time playing around with it and customizing it to my liking. As I recall, the camera worked fine until I ran the SE update service on my phone. Whenever I go to the camera feature now, the camera image is upside down. All the icons and lettering on the screen is right side up, so I'm not sure what is wrong. Even when I rotate the screen, the image is still upside down. Please help me if you can! Thanks! |

Since nothing is wrong with camera itself I suppose you should do the software reinstalation. In the Firmware thread Jah wrote:
"My P990 did not work after the first false upgrade, it just flashed the screen on/off then after I deleted the firmware files from my laptop I tried again and the whole process went okay and the P990 is restored."
So don't worry. |

the battery should be able to last 1-1.5 days on full charge. try dimming to not more than 30% when indoor.
swissmanager got nothing to do with power consumption

Here's another solution to avoid battery drain.
If you don't use the 3G functionality of your phone that much, just use the GSM account. Since 3G can often be down or not available, the phone tends to search for an available signal, causing faster drain of the battery.
Once I shifted to GSM, my battery started lasting longer. I just shift to the 3G account when I need to do a video call.
Hope this helps...
If you wanna be noticed, make noise...
If you wanna be appreciated, keep quiet... |
