Beautifully done!

I didn't buy invisible shield in the 1st place because I read some reviews saying that it has an orange peel effect, dunno what that really means actually, lol.

This is orange peel effect. Quite harmless though, can only be seen from a certain angle.

Anyone using vista and connect to N97 via bluetooth? There are three unknown device after I connect mine, anyone has driver?

Here's the driver for bluetooth modem, most people just use the Ovi One Touch Access as it's supposed to be simply install and use. But for me I had to do manual connection as Ovi is having problem clashing with Microsoft Bluetooth stack and there's no way to remove it.

BTW anyone here using the CaPDAse pouch ? Just bought today at LYP but worried the clamp will scratch the metal side when sliding out the keyboard.

The unread message icon keep blinking at the right hand top corner despite i had all messages read. I even deleted all msgs but still appear.
Could it be voicemail unread or any solution for this ?

Have you check your SIM message ?

Anybody knows if this hardware fix for GPS by Nokia applies to us Malaysians ?

Rather less visible an issue, poor GPS reception is the biggest showstopper for owners, with Ovi Maps becoming just about unusable. The problem is not with the antenna itself (shown below for interest sake), but with the way electronic interference from the N97's PCB degrades the GPS signals being received.
The official fix is to install a new antenna, with an additional shield near the point where it attaches to the main PCB. Correctly installed at the service centre, GPS signals are then improved by "2 to 4dB" and this makes all the difference in the world - I was able to navigate a 30 mile journey with no a single loss of GPS lock and with faultless directions.

How to tell if your N97 has the old, unshielded design: You'll know - Nokia Maps/Ovi Maps will be useless in navigation mode - the lock will be lost very frequently. With the latest Ovi Maps 3.3 beta, you'll be spared this message but your reported position will be badly delayed. If Nokia Maps/Ovi Maps are working fine then relax, you've already got the new design.

received info from some blogger. Nokia delayed the release until 16th Oct due to the reasons below:

* RAM memory leak, when opening browser or music player
* Devices freezing

Anyway don't hope too much. Just upgrade whenever the firmware is there.

I found the situation very ironic, I thought those were the main problems to rectify in V2.0, not a new bug. sad.gif

Eh i dunno whether u guys know this or not.

But there is a way to increase FM transmitter radius by 5x - 10x range.

Just take your USB cable and plug it in and enable, and try in car. You won't hear any buzzing sound anymore smile.gif

FYI : it did not consume more power , FM transmitter have the optimal power for it, but Nokia reduce the radius I guess not to affect other car / radio.

Great tips. Thanks bro smile.gif


QUOTE(aruja_69 @ Oct 12 2009, 09:52 PM)
Have anyone try using the cable to charge their phone before? Surprising the same cable can charge my i8910 but not N97 (not using laptop or desktop)
*
Using both original and an unbranded RM25 micro-USB cable here, charges just fine. Some USB ports are not powered, have you tried different ports? Example like the one directly on the back of your desktop.


Also, shameless self bump cool2.gif
Those Europeans got free GPS fix, take a look at the picture in the link, new antenna installed. I want this for us Asian market too.

To those who got the update, do you use the NSU or Ovi ?

Also, I wonder why different people have different update size ?

Perhaps after the update the phone needs to re-index the media files ?
