Sorry, I forgot that Web isn't available on P990 in FC mode.

But in FO mode it should work with Alt + 7.



You can use the web in FC mode if you download Opera Mini. Hope this has not already been posted, still on the first page of the topic.
If it is to be it is up to me!

I know it's boring, but how about a very basic explanation of CDAs, firmware updates, branded versions etc. I've attempted to do this here:

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=169420

but maybe it would be useful to the newbies to have it in the sticky? Feel free to plagurise, or not as you see fit

Cheers,

AD.

P.S. I never thanked you for the welcome to the >500 club btw,

..Let's see. "CDA explained." ...? Nah, doesn't work. We need a title.

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=164362
GW1 = Generic World 1 = a release of the phone firmware that is not specific to any mobile network or country. It's also the first release to be updated to the latest version publicly.

XS++ = freeware software for the pc that, amongst other things, allows you to change the CDA of your phone.

CDA (Custom Data Area) = A writeable data- area on the phone. Contains a code that tells SEUS which release to update your phone with.

The upshot being that if you change the CDA of your phone with XS++ to GW1, then update via SEUS, you end up with the latest publicly available firmware on your phone.

Find the software and info here:

Stuff about CDAs here:

http://uiq3.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/CDA/P1i

...Anything else that might be useful..?


P.S. I never thanked you for the welcome to the >500 club btw,

lol. Congrats, you don't have a life, either.

Maybe add something as to why it's better to use the organiser version to relate to the actual firmware revision ie. this number only increases with updates to the core firmware, and so is a common guide across all CDAs.

As for a title...hmmm....how about: "CDAs? Firmware updates? Organiser versions? OMFG - WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!!??!! "

Just a suggestion

The wiki- list is maintained by other users. On the list, the latest firmware refers to the organiser version (i.e., the few numbers and digits after CXC ******** ->R6***<-, under "Organiser". This has been convenient so far because it seems to change regularly with each firmware version (the second letter increases one step).

Hi Nipsen, got a new one for ya...

"Sync software, helpful pointers for when it just won't", or, "Tips for avoiding suicidal frustration brought on by repeated failed attempts to sync."

1: Plug in your phone, right click on the mrouter icon in your system tray, choose 'advanced settings' make sure USB and any sub check boxes are ticked, also view 'additional com ports', and put everything in the left box into the right one.

2: Try using a different USB port on your computer - preferably one that's hardwired onto the mainboard, and not on an expansion card or external hub.

3: Make sure that your drivers are installed correctly. To do this, open 'Device Manager' on your pc, attach the phone, check to see that no 'unknown devices' appear in the list on your computer (they will have exclaimation marks by the icons). If there are any, then try to update the drivers for these devices by pointing the 'update driver' wizard directly to C:Program FilesSony EricssonSony Ericsson Symbian 9 Drivers.

4: Install the most recent version of pcsuite - downloadable from SE's website.

BUT FIRST:

Uninstall your current pcsuite, delete all references to Sony Ericsson & the pcsuite from your registry (search from the top of the tree, as there may be some in both HKCU & HKLM), manually delete any drivers from your system32 folder (they all start with the letters 'zebr' for ease of search - make sure to get rid of the .inf files as well, again these start 'zebr'), remove any folders that are left in 'program files' (SE ones that is ).

And start again. This will at least eliminate, any question of corrupt drivers/registry settings (re: the pcsuite), as these may not have been overwritten by your new installation if they were already there. I know it's a pain, but conversely it's good to be methodical.

If this doesn't help then check your XP installation for missing dlls etc. using system file checker (start - run - sfc /startnow), you'll need your XP install CD at the ready, after doing this you'll need to run windows update.

5: Reflash the phone's firmware with SEUS - NB. ALL user data will be lost from the phone (apart from any that is held on your memory stick).

6:Send the damn thing back, and complain LOUDLY!!


Should you need further guidance or have any ideas of your own, then please refer Here

Good work.

---

How are we doing with that -Threads you should not miss, thing?
Would it look ok if it was something like this in the menu?:
21. Threads where people actually said useful stuff

a. OMFG teh P6! AAAAAGGHH!
b. How to use your UIQ phone to achieve spiritual enlightenment.


..or would it be better if it had a sub- section with some few sentence summaries?

...or should it be a new thread?
