C905 Issue |

Hi all. Its good to be posting on Esato forums again, Used to own a K700i but then changed to a Nokia N70 (bad bad choice) and stoped using the forums.
Recently came back to SE, got a C905 on my latest upgrade although i had to pay a fair bit and already im not happy!. 
I got my phone yesterday charged it up today, and at the back where the slider is for the Camera lens.. i think its loose or something, If i touch it ever so slightly it wiggles and it activates the camera mode, you can also shake the phone and it will wiggle the lens cover at the back and it activates the camera.. then cuts back to the main screen.
Im thinking this is an issue, unless theres a way to disable this. Im going to phone o2 if not because i paid £99 for the phone and it looks like its defective already
Unrelated hardware issue, when im on youtube either in WiFi mode or using my data internet connection... I can't seem to load YouTube videos? Any issues with this

Yes, both of these problems seem common, although there is a difference between the lens cover just being loose (mine sure is) and the camera being accidentally activated. The streaming problem has recently been discussed in the main C905 thread.

I think i'm going to phone O2 and say. Im trying to type or something and if my finger accidently brushes against it it takes me to camera mode. So this is an issue in all of the phones then? Is it likely to happen again if i ask for another replacement model?
Im fastly becoming interested in another phone. You shouldn't have to pay that much for a phone that doesn't work |

The camera accidentally starting you should not accept and will not happen with all units. I have never had that happen.

Ok. I'll give them a call then.
So you say you also have a loose lens cover but it doesn't start your camera up then shut it down, constantly?
Sorry to keep asking the same question over and over. I just hate spending money for something not to work. It annoys me that i can access youtube, just not watch things. Or that im typing and i set it off :S |

I had the exact same problem with the one O2 sent me. They replaced it with very little hassle (although it took a few days for them to get more stock).
The one I have now is better but slightly wobbles on the slider (not as much as the first though, that one was horrendous), but I put that down to SE's build quality, not seen or held a single C905 that doesn't have a wobbly slider!

It really worries me reading about all these issues.
I've had two handsets in the past week.
Both have been tight. The second one has a slight wobble in the lense cover but it's nothing to complain about. Now I look at it closely the left hand side of the phone has a minuscule amount of play in the up/down motion (not slide up/down the other up/down) where as the right hand side sits close.
The way I look at it now, is that after months there is gonna be a bit of wear n tear so I'm happy. Before long I'll get my torx on it and have it apart for a clean anyway so if I can tighten it then I will.

I couldn't reply yesterday due to the new members being limited to 3 posts per day.
I phoned o2 and the first woman i spoke to set me up for a C902 until i pointed out that i had paid more for the C905 which she then moaned about, disapeared for 10 minutes to check if they had any in stock, told me no and to phone back another time. Phoned back 10 minutes later annoyed at the service and the next guy said they had the phones in stock and he would arrange a door to door swap for me. So they are coming on friday, although im going to have to re-phone again because they should have e-mailed me a returns number and i don't have it yet.
I've been reading through a lot of the discussions and im wondering if i made the wrong choice in buying the C905. The build quality seems to be terrible, and people are having software issues.. For example i'm quite annoyed i can't get YouTube working and it seems to a be common problem, but whats the point in paying all that money for half the features not to work. I didn't even get to try the navigation out or any other features as i didnt want to risk damaging the phone before it went back. |

What do people make of the D pad overall on the C905? |

Got my replacement a day early  Camera lens cover feels much much better now. Youtube still doesn't work in my phone and Wayfinder seems to have trouble locking onto satellites.
Any advice on these issues?
If not, Where can i get more themes, applications etc etc for my C905. Can you guys recommend?
To the person who asking about the Dpad. Coming from a Nokia N70 where i could reach the Dpad and the keys at the same time, its not comfortable reaching away from the keys to click the Dpad, when i was texting i noticed it was really laggy. Although it may be because i had applications going in the background.
I keep getting told i can't post more than 3 times a day :/
If you happen to read this my Streaming settings are:
Connect using: o2 Pay Monthly
Allow Local Conn.: Yes

Some people have issues with the c905's they purchased, they seem to be limited to scratched keypads and wobbly camera covers as far as build quality goes, so I would hesitate to call those 2 issues "terrible", although Marty seems to have gotten the worst of the bunch with peeling paint as well (I would return that phone immediately!) and I luckily don't have any problem on my phone, and many other users don't as well. I do know more people are upset with youtube not working, once again I'm lucky I guess but I don't have that issue as well. Compared to every phone I have ever owned I would say that the c905 is superior to all of them (compared to r380, p800i, k800i, k770i, k550i, c902), actually my biggest gripe is the tactility of the keypad which was much better on my k800i.
As far as Youtube goes what are your streaming settings set at?

@ConorKennedy
If you are looking for themes I suggest Eseth.net. They have loads of themes and even some animated ones.
If the phone is working ok then I would suggest debranding it using the DaVinci client as it will allow you to put on the latest firmware (which improves the GPS over the branded firmwares apparently) and means that when new firmware is released by SE you will be able to use SEUS to update it straight away rather than waiting for your network to ready their branded version (which can be quite a while sometimes).
