just got my E72 AP at RM 1,273 2 days ago. love the phone very much, but don't really have much time to play around with it yet. something to check with all the taikor here, how can we configure the phone so that it will only access to internet thru "wifi", instead of gprs/3G? because most of the time when I try to run web browser, fb, youtube, or setting up the email, it will automatically connect to gprs/3G instead of my wifi (connected).

another thing is, when i view picture, how to zoon in and zoom out? i try "5" key but not working...hmp...

appreciate that if anyone can provide a fix for the garmin, because most of the time i will use it la...

just now try the garmin twice, when i going out for appointment, i start it, manage to get positioning within 10 second, but then when it start to navigate, only on the map, no voice navigation although i already double check the audio setting. after 2-3 minutes, the software hang.
when i coming back to office after the appointment, i try again, same thing no voice navigation, only showing on map, and it hang again after 2-3 minutes, and not able to exit from the software until i manually restart the phone.

hmp...still figuring how the handphone shop guy doing it? i tested 5.00.60 and 5.00.40 now, both will hang after a while...

this morning tried 5.00.50 with 3D mode, working fine for about 5 minutes then i arrive at office d. but with the 3D mode, the garmin is somehow responding very slow especially when try to exit.

later will try with the 2D mode and see if better.

lets get garmin work on our E72...rock E72~!

guys.. the usb cable that is included in the box is really the short one ar?

yes it memang that short one...so call easier for you to carry around since our phone can USB charge by using that cable. but not convinience if you are trying to connect to workstation for data transer, need the USB extend cable most of the time, because you don't want to see your E72 "sleeping" on the floor or hanging behind your PC tower casing. tongue.gif

Just now tried 2D mode (north), working fine, but sometime the software will slow in respond, but overall is acceptable. why can't use the 3D mode? is it due to the software issue or hardware issue neh? E72 not performaning enough on 3D display?lolz...

anyway, here is some sample snap shot by using my E72...

Hopefully garmin will release a dedicated version for e72. we are temporary using 2D mode, better than nothing right?

at the moment, i facing another problem. my e72 cant read and write chinese. i cant type chinese sms, cant read chinese sms, cant surf chinese websites. anyone know how to solve it?

ur E72 is AP or Ori? I think your current firmware is not support chinese language, you need to flash it to the firmware whereby can support chinese.

I get the AP E72, so the seller already help me to flash the firmware to support chinese. dun worry, you can input chinese like normal with the keypad.

as for the original set, i think can go back to nokia and ask them to do it for you.

I think you can contact your seller as well, alot of handphone shop or nokia will provide this service, i guess...canot support chinese is a pain for me, because i text alot in chinese. smile.gif

To those who keep on asking about battery life: BATTERY LIFE IS STELLAR. End of story.

with the feedback from the user, at least we know average how long the batt can last, and under what level of usage.

I believe that this thread is mainly for E72 to share everything about their E72, so please feel free to ask, comment, and share about your E72. biggrin.gif

so far i am happy with it, except for the batt life and also the GPS positioning...everytime also take about 5-10 minutes...sigh~anyway to improve the speed?

morning guys..if only they'd make the threaded sms a standard feature for nokias then it's a perfect device. No regrets ditching my Bold over E72 smile.gif. Can someone help me. I swear I saw facebook, my space, youtube apps in my e72 but i can't find it today. Where is it located??

menu->internet


Added on December 15, 2009, 10:28 amjust downloaded latest version of youtube for E72, it is actually automatically prompt for download is you launch the previous version.

the new version is faster, view in full screen, load extremely fast...but 1 problem, i dunno it is using wifi connection or using data services to stream...nvr ask for connection and i can't see the wifi icon is connected when i run youtube...neither the 3.5G icon is not transmitting...hmp...

other than the minor light leakage...seems that my back cover is not tight enough.. anybody have the same problem? can fix at SC or not? sometimes have problem when receiving call as well.. the call will just hang without any reason..sigh..

having same problem with u, the back cover is not tight...when u hold the phone on ur hand, you will like the back cover is not "click" firmly on the handset body, leave some gap...feel it especially when typing sms with 1 hand...

any way to fix it ah? rclxub.gif
