Pull the battery, hit the off switch - what difference does it make? Should I be doing this up to four times a day? And this with the latest firmware. Sorry, but I have had enough. It's history!

If you have a Service Center near you, and you are hesitante to use SEUS, ask the Service Center to flash it for you. And what´s that nonsense about warranty??? Do it with SEUS, or do it at Service Center, you will still have warranty for your phone, at least here in Europe |

@dougproctor
If you are doing this 4 times a day, then there must be something wrong with it.

ares can you please post a link for SEUS where i can get the latest firmware and im going to update it tomorrow myself. i'd rather choose to take the risk of roasting my phone myself that go to an agreement that someone will roast it up without obligations nor sorries..do i really need to have an internet connection even while in the process of updating?

Just go to SE homepage and download the SEUS and install it. And then just run it

can someone post a link or better yet, post a procedure on what to do start from scratch? what cable am i going to use to update it? is it the same cable that came with it when i bought it brand new?
nice question malinda.. is there a way to change flip closed and flip open shortcuts?
and one thing more, i find the usb charging feature pretty handy. i have my charger connected always to the cradle with the usb cable.so if im going to sync, my p990 will be charged by both the charger and the usb.is that bad?

There is already a thread on how to do this. Have a look around the forum. |

I have a question for those who have P990 equipted with 4GB memory stick.
When you click on memory stick tab in Video does it take about 4,5 sec to open the video folder? I have some music videos and 3 full movies, each taking around 400-500mb. Once i see all videos moving between them is kind of slow. Is that a normal thing? I can open a movie in a second or two, seeking is fast too. Only thing that bothers me is the speed in the video folder. Any clues?

yes i have with 4gb. i dun have movies, only few video clips, and space remaining is 1.3gb, its not slow at all. its all fine
i guess maybe try another mem card or the number of applications running. get swiss manager.
it helps killing the tasks on f/o nd f/c mode.

First of all, although I still have kern-exec erors caused by Opera and occasional restarts caused by WLAN, with every update my P990 got a little better and faster. At least for me, I've never had anything that went backwards with an update. My advise is to do the update.
My experience is that there are 3 critical areas that still urgently need updates:
1- Opera
2- WLAN
3- Camera auto-focus software.
I can understand why some people really get pissed at SE about the state of P990, at times I am too. However, I have accepted that hardwarewise the P990 is an excellent device, we just have to get SE to provide a comparable firmware to go with it.
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 |
