Hmm, not sure the datalink program supports for phonebook editing or not. As if you're not creating the contact itself with the phone, the reading field will be empty. If you create the contact in the phone itself, when you enter the contact name, reading name will automatically replicate the name when you first time enter the name. Any subsequent changes to the name, the reading name will not be change.

Actually for thumbdrive, you don't have to eject it via computer then only take it out -___-
For me, i just pull it out all the time. Its called hot-plugging, its meant to be plug and pulled anytime you like lol it won't spoil the thumbdrive...

yes because thumbdrive uses a chip..but for external harddisk cannot meh..will scratch your disc..

lol, is it clear enough?

really arh? my ext hdd also i do like that hahaha been doing that for few years de so far no problem la(hopefully)... >.>

MicroSD card got no disk inside(uses chip) so yeah i think it should be fine to just pull it out.
Another thing, i think its better to copy the picture to the phone to set a as wallpaper because from my experience on my SE, everytime i pull the memstick out, the wallpaper and ringtone(set as mp3) all changes to default, which can be pretty annoying lol

hi....few days back i got post here that i got a P906i as a gift. I tried to use it using i-smartphone 2008 bypass sim and it didn't work (black color). I tried it on my friend SH905i and that ismartphone 2008 bypass sim worked. His SH905i was originally using benny's sim (old revision) and tried to use it on my P906i and it didn't work also. Any P906i or any 906 users here? I need to get a bypass sim that i can use it here in Malaysia. And what's the best sim card for the bypass sim? The "L" shape 1 right if im not mistaken? Just need to get my P906i working....

ermm i read in singapore hardwarezone forum and also howardforum that p906i gives a lot of problem to the hypersim..dunno is it true or not..

hm...what i heard is quite stable wo...just sometimes no signal only. not sure what bypass sim they using

I read from the phone's manual that we should switch off the phone when plugging or unplugging the microSD.



I got a SH906iTV using ismartphone 2008 (aka V-Sim) with Maxis and its running fine....just some CPR and UIM Unrecognised thingy from time to time....more frequent than 905 series me thinks....I am not sure about P series though...but I thought it should be even better compatibility compared to SH series. Did u disable SIM pin number request by the way?

Oh and SG guys mostly uses iNex hypersim which they claim to be very stable.

As for 'L' shaped simcard, I have already checked 3 Maxis centres, all do not have them anymore....tough luck

May want to give the maxis centre near LeisureMall a try.I got mine there, last tuesday. All you have to do is explain VERY slowly in full details;bring a picture? say you want that specific pattern, if they say tht they don't have , just tell them you had a friend who got it from there. and ask them check their stacks of simcard. HOPE this helps .

hm...i-smartphone 2008 bypass sim worked for you eh on your sh906iTV. iNex sim...never heard of that...do you know which sg guy you heard from?

hmmm...i m not able to do that coz i live in Pg...



read all about it here : http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=2005925

usually we're using the 64k sim card (im not too sure) but the L shape is a 128k sim in maxis, just got it today from klcc maxis centre,
the 1st lady i asked kept on saying when i showed her the pic "i dunno, we only hav this ( this refers to other kind) of sim card", then the next lady came n told me that's the 128k sim card n i need to pay RM25 for replacement, while changing to 64k requires me to pay RM10. n so i got my L sim, hope this reduces the cpr prob.

hi guys..newbie here..actually i very like flip on handphone like now currently using SE W710i. i got some question..hopefully some sempai can help me solve it..
1)i interest in the FOMA F905i is it hard2 find in malaysia and is it expensive?kinda wan2 noe the price..i saw in garage around rm1700 is it ok?
2)i heard nid2 set alot of setting in order to used in malaysia..is it hard 2 set it? like bypass..or ermm..unlock.. @,@

actually i just finish graduate..start working..last time i using part time work salary get my own phone.. and my old phone wan2 giv my little brother..so planning get F905i bcoz cannot resist the poison too poison liao...and i find out here got alot ppl discuss about japan phone wao..

thanks for reply my newbie question

i sold my purple/silver one last year, got a red one yesterday, waiting for it, its locked though...

1st of all, welcome to tis JPhone mania...
jz answer watevr i know...
1) jphones are hard to find in shops but in LYN, anything is possible lol... some forumers like a forumer nickname vodafone in garage sale bring in jphones from overseas(i dunno where exactly is but i believe is directly from Japan)
and dun expect to buy cheap for latest model lor...F905i new set should be around RM1600~1650(note tat it is only phone and battery), charger(RM80), bypass sim(RM130~200)

2)in terms of getting d network, no need do any setting(as far as i know..), jz get d suitable bypass sim with ur sim card attached, put in ur beloved jphone, and voila...unlock already~lol
but for Docomo models, users might experience "CPR" problem, as u refer from previous post or even in Jphone discussion v8.
and 1 more problem, some functions like mms, GPRS, 3G, GPS, 1-seg, etc cant be used oso.


F905i looks really good...i oso kena poison for tis model. but further info need tiffneedle(F905i user) and vodafone(JPhone expert) to explain.

AND want to promote...wanna try my SO905iCS? huhu...i wanna sell...

maybe come down to KL for it one more time? lol...

@cloudaeris

u got the 'L' sim wow...do u think they sell them without setting in an account? would u be able to buy n post to me ? then I will go to maxis centre to ask them to program for me...I'd pay for the cost! pls pity me..i got UIM Unrecognised at least 2 to 3 times a day and minimum 1 CPR a day


wahh kenot le liddat... it was tiring like shiat....not doing it again lol

vodafone: just wondering, do you know if all chinese/european 903sh are all CID24/49? none are CID73?

my friend was viewing ebay and showed me a 100usd 903sh so yeah I think I might have found my replacement motherboard for my 903sh hoping its japanese and not a euro 2005

nope dun think they do the selling empty sim card thing, i need to hand over my old sim to get the new one
maybe u ask the wrong person when ur in the centre???? i can say many of them seem like dunno anything.....
try explaning to them saying u would like to change it to 128k sim, then maybe they will bring out the 128k one n say "oh, so this shape that guy is asking is the 128k sim....", n oso try showing them the pics on the 1st page.

hang in there, im sure there will be solution for the cpr soon

thanks for answering my question haha..yea..done some survey oredi.. the price kinda pricy..but is reasonable
just wondering..the F905i and F906i erm..is it just number diffrent? or anything diffrent? i c like nothing diffrent.. mayb i still new kua..kinda dono the serial number hmm..lucky i din used mms, GPRS, 3G, GPS, 1-seg oni mainly sms and call..and listen mp3

bypass sim..hmm cheap will cause the handphone bcom macam mana? expensive bypass sim will cause the handphone bcom macam mana o?

thanks again for any1 reply this..

P.s your phone is nice..but i still like flip on phone sorry ya~good luck in ur sale

you explain fine already


what makes you like F905i/F906i?
if you like listen music with your handphone, its is best you buy the USB cable together, either Softbank or Docomo are working fine.
expensive bypass sim will be less signal lost, no need so much of CPR.(actually do you know what is CPR for the phone?)
here is the comparison for F906i and F905i, you can use google language tools to translate japanese word to english.
http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/product/search/...one&radioItem=1
i suspect F906i got flash light, which is F905i just have a line for beam that is actually not enough when take picture at dark scene.

1st of all, its not the serial number.. its the model number...

next, i dun think u can play mp3s, youll need to convert them to aac format

lastly, bypass sim depends on your network provider. some might work better than others regardless of the price so you'll have to ask around and do some homework before you buy.
the price of the bypass sim depends on the version of it thus: latest version/revision of bypass sim = more expensive i believe

that being said, im also noob like you(havent even got my phone yet, believe its flying from japan this moment)
answers i gave are just based on my humble researches >.>

It's been 2 days, and cpr wasn't needed. I am shocked.
Yesterday when i was at midvalley's parking area; the chinese characters appeared, and i forgot to bring my cpr phone. I was pissed.
Later when i walked around in midvalley, my phone's signal appeared to be stable again. omg? i was seriously shocked. CPR wasn't needed!
Then walk somemore, chinese characters appeared. Then walk again, signal full O_O
Oh yeah, whenever the chinese characters appeared, i checked my friend's phone-maxis line. His phone appeared to have no signal too. But when my signal was ok; so was his.

wow nice to hear tat...
can auto recover signal already and no need CPR
mine jz happened to need CPR yesterday...

i can c d difference of F905i/F906i...
a bit only, like design, thickness(F906i thinner), battery life F906i last longer BUT F906i stability yet to be confirmed in Malaysia

for bypass sim, d expensive one d seller claimed tat it is more stable and no CPR issue. but in Malaysia, still nobody try for d most expensive one(i think...)

**aiyar u oso like flip one...nvm but can help me promote promote? maybe ur frens/ or some one u know might interest with it leh...hehe...

...another one got poison...get the 923sh....super nice haha

omg congratz dude .nice feeling right when c this thing happen . kekekeke

hmm...i guess i gotta hang in there for a bit then...but it seems so have some stability improvement...so far no CPR from Friday evening and just UIM Unrecognised appeared which I just need to restart the phone...hope it gets better n better.

haha..congratz for the none cpr..me 2 almost a week yet 1 cpr only..really satisfy with the L shaped simcard

@tiffneedle hmm i like F905i bcoz of the uniqueness of flip on and turn again first time c it..really do catch my eye into the monitor screen more den 1hour..keep finding the F905i information
so according to wat u mean..CPR..err dono wo..sorry for din do much research

@Ryuuga ok..i rmb..is model number yeah..now doing homework jor i using hotlink btw..mayb will change to maxis postpaid soon..due to working enviroment. yeah..convert i know jor..finding some page b4..den i saw nid2 convert to another format..bcoz japan phone some cannot support mp3 file.

@lkylyk yup..according to tiffneedle link..newest is lighter den older 1.. hmm..yea..still nobody trying the F906i.. so dono got wat issue will occur if using in malaysia..now wan2 set a target..get which 1st.. den can straight aim the target and save money to get it
now thinking getting F905i(issue found by malaysia user) or F906i(self find the issue)

guys i got my first cpr today due to low signal in my house.

Ouch...record have been broken..yikess

haha it depends on our luck i guess, sometimes the signal wont regain by itself, then baru cpr needed, n i notice something that let's say ur out from the lift n the signal is regained, but if the signal is out for too long most probably u'll need to cpr.....

Added on August 10, 2008, 2:06 pm

yeah the stability seems to improve from the 1st day u put ur sim together with the bypass sim, i oso not sure why, but it's a good thing

yes. jus now i thought if will regain by itself but i waited quite some time but neve regain but itself . so do cpr for it.

The feeling sure is nice





Did you tried going out of your house?
Whenever my signal went out i tried going to an open area to let it regain signal. lol.

What kind of working environment do you have? You might want to see pana jie's docomo rule



If you really don't mind these and REALLY wanna get a docomo phone. I tell you, head to the nearest maxis centre and get the L shaped simcard that is shown in the 1st page of this thread.

Your explanation is good already.






I'm not really sure but in HK, SMV do release CID73 version before if I'm not mistaken. You can identify it by the IMEI or Manufacture date unless the phone's firmware upgraded or sent back to service before.

Look for IMEI number before 358141/00/100000/0 (Note that it is before that number sequence)
IMEI with number 354721/00/XXXXXX/X would be quite safe.
Manufacture date is on or before December 2005 (For December one, must see along with the IMEI)




Megamall tends to have several places with no signal at all so your experience is normal one.

haha just my working collegue wan me change to postpaid so that i dun hav reason to said no money or expire since i using prepaid rite now.
i working as laptop technician in a IT company

Added on August 10, 2008, 2:51 pmbtw..can i noe pana jie docomo rule? ermm is what o?

CPR required when you using Docomo phone, when the signal lost and never recover within 2 minutes.
in this stage you need another hand phone to get the signal back. take out the sim card from your docomo phone and place into another normal hand phone(any nokia or sony ericsson) and make a few calls and sms, if can try do it a the signal strong coverage area, after this then only place back to docomo phone.

according to the link, suppose is F906i heavier than F905i, but not much different lol, actually i fell it is much lighter compare with my previous 903SH...

oo now i know.. CPR.. emergency recover
thanks for explain.~ i know the meaning of CPR d

or can look for older models if want it to be easier ...

hoho...my sh906i black yesterday reach...now using it...the sound damn nice ^^

post pics post pics...lets spread d poison~

OKOK anyone know how to set sh906i folder for putting music??

i thought d camera is sucks?

Irresistable. All of 'em, flip phone, very very attractive. pity wor, i hav no money to own any. haish, isn't there any cheap around RM300 flip 2nd hand 1 ?

luv the design of N905L but is the camera only 2mp ?

actually they are much smarter because aac is a better format. AAC files only supported by ipod, PSP,PS3, wii and all those nexgen stuff. But i guess you know all those already since you're a laptop technician xD
next time i got problem with my mac pro laptop find you la xD


congratz!! mine still flying from japan...zzz
Pics please or it never happened

I support what you said
yayaya pics please.
POISON US

This is her "rule"

below are the symptons to show that you are not ready to get a docomo
- i dun wan to bring 2 phones out
- i feel despair when i see my phone shows "圈外" or "USIM Is Not Recognized"
- i dun wan to lost any important calls
- i dun wan to get an expensive phone and yet cannot fully utilize all the phone features


Darkened is most important.

lol are you sure you have no money to own Any.
Save up about 400 more and get a 903sh. 903sh a very VERY good camera phone.
Eventhough it may take you a year to save up but it's
Worth your money.
