yupio how is the touch crusier?

upload pics upon request huh...
bigger the community is better...can hv more ppl to solve Jphones prob. but lost d exclusiveness(which is my main purpose lol)

Can we play avi files on the phone?

99% of my animes/movies is in avi format. If i have to convert those to mp4 is like...

Have fun.


Well, most likely by the time you are done toying with the bitrate, fps and resolution, your memory card would run out of space faster than you'd expect.
Huargh.. Pampered too badly by MKV files dy.. Their container compresses really effectively.. After conversion to 3GP/MP4 file size is pretty large.

What phone you're using there bro?

touch cruiser is very responsive and very accurate...in fact i find it even more accurate than those touch pad found in notebook computers....touch cruiser uses optical sensor that senses your finger movement direction instead of heat / capacitance.


i m afraid no, we cannot use avi files....j-phone works best with mp4 so all your video have to convert to mp4

by the way, anyone here can guide me how to re-encode MKV to MP4 with audio (language) of my choice and subtitle? Any known software that can do that properly? I have used Videora and Xvid4PSP5.0, the best i can get is using Xvid4psp5.0 where I get to choose which audio track but i cannot get the subtitle.

I also tried MKVtoolnix to extract the subtitle in .ASS format but subsequently, this was not recognised when I wanna encode to include the subtitle file.

Hi bro/sis (sorry too many traps in lyn )

Currently I am using SE k800i. Actually I am planning to switch to exotic next month, that's why i have to do a lot of research first before get myself a unit.

finally figured out how to get the wallpaper on the phone changed .lol ..staring @ the ufo flying would get boring after a while , haha

Its quite easy after you've determined what settings you are using, I've been encoding various formats for my PSP as well as IPOD and now SH906iTV. Most softwares comes with preset formats you can use to encode. Speed wise, I can get 1 to 1 (meaning 1 hour video gets re-encoded to another format in 1 hour using 2-pass encoding).

For filesize, it all very much depend on what quality you choose. I usually get almost the same filesize when I re-encode from AVI to MP4 if not smaller and usually we would encode to lower resolution coz original video may be for computer screen which is like 1280x1024 which we encode for our phone which is 640x480.

hmm...which model you have in mind??

I am afraid I have not much of an experience with converting dual audio animes though, but glad that you have managed to go through that.
Tried 3GPConverter already? The last time I tried, though on .avi extension, the subtitles were automatically detected and were integrated onto the video itself. Hurm..





Ah.. Well, actually, I am a guy. Most people should know that.
Hurm.. What exotic you aiming for? An advanced welcome to the club by the all of us.

Oh btw peeps, I'm currently doing some reading at the moment, and it seems 903SH vs 904SH, 903sh is still alot better in capturing details than 904SH.
Jeez... Ah well. *comforts myself* 903SH don't have VGA screen!

sh906i
923sh Have to go to sg to unlock. Forget it.
P906i
SH906itv

So there are only 2 choices left.

I have no prob with avi....just MKV makes me scratch my head...need some advice from anyone who knows.

yikes another guy behind a girl's avatar ....weired la ppl nowadays....

Well, was bored. So I changed it. I'll drop a couple of google checks on you see if I can get any results.
PS: Try getting a hardcoded copy of the file you're converting? Separate subtitle files are usually a pain for me.. Or perhaps you can try to hardcode the subs yourself. Can try I guess.

@strife01
Hey, I don't actually mind getting a 923SH and unlocking it AT Singapore man. Provided I can get the 923SH for cheap though.
It's like a combination of all the dream phones I could ever.. erm.. dream about?



@yupio
Try this.
Convert it to avi with the audio language you want, then convert to 3GP/MP4 with 3GP.
*should* work, if the subtitles is still recognizable for the .avi extension.

Don't mind me however, as I am a lazy ass who always finds the shortest and simplest method to solve problems lol.

just to share with you....before I decided on SH906iTV, I also had my eyes on F906i.

do some research on F906i, you may like it. (I still haven't give up, saving for it too)

try youtube search F906i, you will like what u see hehehe. also search Flickr for images shot using F906i camera which i find quite decent.

hmm...the thing is even after you got your 923SH unlocked in SG, some mistake of pressing in phone's menu may get it locked back. which is quite a hassle...get a HK / TW version which is better...cost wise, about the same as DCM 906 series for those HK/TW version which is fully unlocked and MP3 capable.

I heard the 923SH cost about... RM2.5k in HK/TW right?
Hurm... Sob. Work for another one month just to get a phone?! T.T
None of the Docomo series really appeal to me at the moment though, frankly putting it. Especially the 905i series which sort of disappointed me. Haven't gave full research on the 906i series though.

yup, its around there...problem is where to get seller that can bring it in...

You guys going too fast...

@yupio

Yeah. Frankly speaking, I'm interested in almost all exotic flip phones. The poisons is even stronger as The more time i spent on researching. I may consider that model as well.

@Enigma

So you're a tarp! =x Ah yes, 923sh is a great phone. Actually I am originated from far north of malaysia. To think that i have travel from the top to bottom. No thanks. Unless the is someone bringing it in.

Bro voda is able to bring it in but as in locked model.

It's because we are lifeless enough to refresh the same page over and over again? xD

Well, just remember this, Jphones are awesome, though, be prepared to live with the problems they might give.
Many of my friends asked me where they could get Jphones But knowing them, they would be VERY bothered by the problems these phones produces. Especially with the small support group we have here. Haha.

PS: If anyone has any idea of how to get phones from Japan, while able to avoid kastams, drop me a beep. Customs is the only thing stopping me right now from getting cheap second hand phones from Japan. Huargh. Heck, F905i, hardly used, at RM900. =.='''''''''''''

One good suggestion: get a wife in japan.

glad to see u get to custom ur wallpaper


jz found out u r a guy...

yeah 903sh took better pics
here are the comparison pics I made, didnt do that good of a job, but i guess it works
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?threadid=1317877

Apparently, they just increase the pixels for the later models ignoring the photo quality. I don't really mind since i got a digital camera.

Damnit.
awong, are you trying to make me ache for a 903SH now?

*starts counting*
If I save like a mad freak I'd probably be able to buy one end of this year.
Or
I could go crazy and use my backup savings.

*grins*

Gah! *attaches picture for self comfort*

not a bad idea that wan .lol

Hi Hi, I am new in this thread. I have just received an offer, he is willing to trade softbank 911t with my two hand phones. So anyway, i am new to Japanese phones and I want to listen to some opinions about this phone and the things I need to check on that phone before trading. Thanks!

do you get good 3g only signal?

doesnt support gsm, which is quite a hassle using it in malaysia,
im not sure about the unlockingfor this one but for docomo models, u can only make calls under 3G mode, no receiving calls, no in out sms. if same thing applies to this softbank 911t, then ah......... u know wht i mean

BTW are u trading with N95??? seriously i dun think it's worth it

No No! of course not I am not trading with n95...xD
Er? You mean I can't receive sms or send sms at all?

Added on August 16, 2008, 5:32 amThis is not serious. What's the use of the phone if that's the case...

well u can always get the taiwan version from YAHOO TAIWAN auction, just go look for an bidding agent like "bidtrade" or "japanbid" in case u dun hav anyone that can help u bring it in, IF u can bear the total price that is.
RM2500+ + shipping + others =RM3000??? wooh!!
good thing is u wont be having any problems like using jphones.

Nola, I am interested. Not really into these phones due to a lot of problems I hear and very costly to fix these problems too! Anyway, how do i know if the phone is from Taiwan, Hong Kong or Japan?

---

Added on August 16, 2008, 5:38 amOh and thanks for the info, now I've got to think twice already...xD

u cant even receive calls from others, only making calls.
but good to hear that ur not trading away ur N95 ^^
why not giv those docomo phones a look? u wont be trading though.
but IF ur going to get a docomo models, make sure u do enuf research n get to know all the prob using it in malaysia

Added on August 16, 2008, 5:42 am

to differentiate taiwan/hong kong/japan version?
just look at the firmware??
usually japan version has many restriction like not being able to play mp3 (most common)
n japan version is usually much cheaper than ther other two

I see I see, thanks. Well, I have relatives in Taiwan and Japan. LOL!
They have been living there for so long and yet I never ask them to bring those phones back to me. I just feel that it's too much hassle. I was thinking about it because someone offered me. But considering the fact he sounds desperate, I don't think the phone is good in any ways.

Thanks a lot!

Added on August 16, 2008, 5:50 amIf you won't be able to receive calls. The phone is practically....useless, sorry to say..>.<

So how do you use your phone? I see you're so905i user?

lol maybe someday dudes here can ask for ur help getting those taiwan version.
the phone itself is good, just that it's no good for using here

most of us here r using models from docomo, which hav no problems receiving/making calls, receiving/sending sms, cause gsm is supported,
if we switch the network mode to 3G, same thing happens, only making calls is possible for now.

U sure cannot receive/send smses? cuz the first page of the thread states that they can? *confused*

unless i've mistaken, i saw that it's not compatible with global roaming, while some of the softbank sharp models do support gsm.

Hmmmmm...
maybe i shouldn't take the risk..=.=

im obviously n ot the pro in this thread, why not try asking them here 2molo morning?
they can giv better advice i think

u should giv it a look here
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthre...813105&page=134

ok to clear things up, docomo models, few poeple have gotten 3g incomming to work. Most softbanks, seem to work under 3g without many issues with hypersim and/or software unlock.

The model miyakochan89 is looking at is a softbank toshiba 911t which functions only when using 3g only. Meaning less coverage, as a second phone, not a primary that might be ok if 3g is ok in your area. Mike86 used to use a 911t and I think did ok with only 3g. the 911t should work incomming and calling out with 3g calls as thats the only frequency it operates. SMS should also work, and 911t does have T9 english. Just as a 3g only phone, probably shouldnt be a primary phone if you travel a lot, if you dont travel a lot, 3g is good in your area, then it might be worth looking at.

do softbank models hav the cpr issues????
n i oso heard that there's media lock for softbank models, not sure if all r the same though

if 911t is unlocked then media will work without problems. Thats the case with all software unlocked toshibas, there is a repro prompt, but thats it. No need to use a hypersim. To get music on 911t is very easy in HE/LE aac format in 3g2 file.

Media unlock exists on sharps, and recently was cracked, which requires a active softbank account to complete the process. CPR issues exist on 923sh, newer batch 922sh and 920sh after april 2008. And CPR exists when using any toshiba with hypersim as confirmed by voda and also me with a 902t.

I believe most softbank newer have media lock, but I think some models like 920SC and possibly the toshibas seem to have media working with hypersim once it connects to network. Not sure, but i do remember reading a locked 920sh with using a old voda/softbank expired sim cannot use media, but with hypersim it was usable. It might be the same with toshiba, but not certain, i remember a sg seller thought of selling 911t that way, but not entirely certain and going off memory for the toshiba.

hehe, saw your acc in the howardforums forum .. time for me to go kacau abit .lol

u can always try it out when COD.


kacau huh...

good explaination there
so far i've been used for 3months and does not bring me any problem besides from sometimes the signal is weak after heavy rain
travel around cheras, subang, pj, shah alam, kl...so far so good

This phone is 3G only so it is only usable within 3G coverage area with 3G reception at the specific location. No 3G reception = Out of coverage.

For 911T and you can make and receive calls in 3G mode unlike Docomo models which you can only make calls but not receiving any.



Try to ask them to bring back the following models for you if you really desperate (from Taiwan):

WX-T92 (Taiwan version of 920SH)
WX-T91 (Taiwan version of 903SH)
WX-T83 [Not sure the model number yet] (Taiwan version of Pantone Slide 825SH, not release yet)
WX-T82 (Taiwan version of 816SH)
WX-T81 (Taiwan version of 705SH)
WX-T71 (Taiwan version of 703SH)

All of them you could use like normal phone in Malaysia






Newer softbank models do face CPR problem according to what I heard but doesn't confirm personally.
Most of the Softbank models do have media lock except (all or nearly all) Toshiba models.

CPR problem exist in Softbank Toshiba models (3G+GSM) which is worse than what experience in Docomo. Under 3G mode, you can make calls but cannot receive. When you switch network from Auto mode to GSM mode, you will need to do CPR also. Most of the time you can't reconnect back once you lost the signal. Frequency much higher than Docomo one.
This is different case for Softbank 3G only models which could make/receive calls and SMS normally.

Hmm maybe you can ask get from SG, I think its quite comparable the price..

later i going to digi to try and get the lshaped sim if possible ...

hi there~
i would like to ask if anyone noe the price of f905i at japan without plan?
wan to noe the price be4 i could ask my japanese fren to get from me since he might come to msia
i dun think kastam would charge a japanese itself for bringing onli 1 unit right? haha

Maybe you should ask your friend better as he is in Japan right? Could ask him to survey the price for you. Price is not standard and no such thing as recommended retail price and if I'm not wrong, you can't buy phone without contract except those White ROM set.

I think he needs to find a white rom shop to get it without a contract

cuz he seems to be busy lately, didnt see him on9 at night.. hahaha
wats white rom shop?
mind explaining?

yupio ur phone dam poisonous
