Well, i think V4 it's so far quite comprehensive. If anything lack i suggest is "software discussion on E71" but xavi somehow included link to the software & some with reviews. biggrin.gif

There's a question regarding memory card on E71. Actually if we update firmware / soft reset...i notice some software will "auto install" in the E71, cause of the software is in memory card. (I think)

Anyone have idea how does the S60 system work here? icon_question.gif

Example case i can think of :
1) The "installation" file is "pre- installed" in the memory card (maybe use other software or technic), so when we update firmware...the program auto can auto install back.

2) The program "working file" is "install" in memory card..so it install back to the phone after reset.

Reason y i like to find out is i notice it. so if next time i can "make" the memory card to auto install more program that i've "SET" to be my frequent use programs when i update firmware or soft reset...and...SAVE time no need Re-install all program. icon_rolleyes.gif

software discussion? hmm.. discussion can be done in the thread ma.. wat i can do is jus prepare some software review and recommendation as a topic stater on a discussion only sweat.gif ..
auto installed? well in will be in ur application manager but i assume u cant access it right? not possible to make memory card to auto install all lor.. even ur computer cant do tat , correct me if i m wrong.. sweat.gif .. normally if reformat computer u also need to reinstall everything 1 by 1 de ma.. not meh?

Calcool77
paiseh la .. will do my best to keep it going..

Yeah, about PC u have a point, cause that is OS and software. But i sure u notice that after firmware update, it'll appear "installation in progress", then the previous app is in the phone already. Just wonder how it do it. is it preinstall in memory card? My E71 comes with worldmate, msn, top solitaire in the phone, when i update firmware, on 1st startup the "installation in progress" will come out and direct install back to phone.

Assume those comes with Nokia default memory card of E71, so my thinking is wht nokia did?
(if some app can install auto after firmware update / reset, then HOW nokia d0 it??)
Copy app to memory card?

If this is possible, then we might able to "make a set" of app we normal use, then save / install to memory card.
Benefit if this? my thinking is : If we soft reset the phone / update firmware...no worries, all app will auto install after that and no need to worry about software serial / key problem. (Some software like garmin, if u didn't purchase it..and don't have serial / key, u can't use it with A-GPS. sweat.gif

OK i know i may sound crazy, but i think since it's done at the 1st place..there should be a way to modify /add

hi all,

lately i got a few issues with my phone. non-critical, but quite irritating given my nature of OCD.

1. Nokia Email at my main menu disappears once in awhile. i'll have to go to settings for home applications. uncheck Intellisync, and then check it back again before it appears at my main menu.

2. Whenever i receive a phone call, instead of seeing the callers name and the timer of the call, it shows the main menu. it's as though i've click on my home button. i'll have to press on back then only it'll show me the default call screen where you see the caller id and call timer.

any help will be appreciated smile.gif thanks!
*
never cross this issue, but i think if it continue, restart the phone. possible that u installed any software or theme recently? if so..might be the software is not compatible?

can't stand it...and if it still like that.. well, it's time to do the "soft reset"

hi guys, i just updated firmware via pc suite last nite

after that, i notice my contacts when i try to open, the screen flickers, then goes back to home screen.  in pcsuite i can still see my contacts. i know some members have talked aobut this issue before and suggested to reformat.

the only program im worried about is the Garminxt. if i backup everything to pcsuite, reformat my phone, and then upload my backups back to my phone, will my garmin be alright?

cheers
*
well, i think u just make sure yr garminxt is in yr mem card. my garmin is in mem card..and i notice after i firmware update it reinstalls back.
but u don't format yr mem card..if not everything gone and i am not sure pc suite will backip the mem card sys.

U update to V300? will do provide more feedback on the V300 stability.. cause am still using V200...and since the update is just minor..i don't want to NFU my phone.

chester : i solved my problem by reformat .. (*#7370#)

now everything is working

so far v300 i feel is slightly less error free. only my opinion.
v200 i felt my phone some times appls will not open properly (screen flicker then go back to home screen)

so far im happy with v300 but i only havebeen using less than 24 hours so i will need some more time before coming to a conclusion. 

cheers!

Well, i guess these firmware is really like buying local cars....depends on luck. my V200 since i get it done from AP supplier, till now no problem encountered. maybe i didn't use it for email till now. so, nokia mail..or mail exchange all i didn't venture yet.
Others like music, phone call, online web surfing, wifi is still stable

One thing i notice about skyfire is it's not flexible..to my opinion. it actually need to logon a connection to do any further setting and command..not my type of software.
Unistall once i find it not friendly to me. brows.gif

ya.. how u know i went to e_trade pj? lol.. ala.. i bought cap belang headset nia.. ori hs-47, as mine old 1 got stolen.. ya got a new ori bat .. still uploading d picture.. lol.. camera sucks so not much of a detail..

update:
light leakage above the qwerty keyboard uploaded at post 2 inside (when u wanna buy a e71), added a review on ori and ap battery (in post 8) as well (from the appearance side only.. mine new bat recorded 1559mAh while old ap'set bat recorded 1409 mAh. how do u guys battery look like regardless AP or ORI pls share i need more samples.. thx.. sharing is caring.
*
Hey good job bro, u added the ori bat info..keke, bet u use yr old bat compare with new bat u bought from pj?

cause i know the non ori is 1406...haha..
The light leakage i think many phone has it..include mine...but no big prob..just push push the key pad ok liao..haha


Added on September 3, 2009, 8:39 pmWow..u bought the ori bat more cheaper than me..so fast drop the price? hmm.gif
but anyway i still think E71 is best using ori bat..as it last longer and it's a delicate phone will so much function. better take good care..haha.
any the main page is updating fast from the mode..really being aa "1 stop" thread for info la..
rclxms.gif


Added on September 3, 2009, 8:50 pmHence there's so much info on bat life..i think most user will GET their problem solved..as my V200 plus light usage, last me 4-5 days.
In the NEP normal usage with light on is 0.14-0.18W, but with Jbak u can see some "hidden" app still running..
So just wonder is there any app that can be kill to save more energy?
hmm.gif

Of coz can la.. Install nokia pc suite and sync ur phone and ur pc ..then share lor.. If u mean through wireless .. Havent tried..

501024:
U must install all d base map 1st d ma.. All map is placed in garmin folder..gmapbmap.img &gmapsupp.img should b plc in garmin folder..malsimap is abit difficult .. I prefer malfreemap..
*
Bro, i bought the bat abit higher than yr price, enough for 2 McD meal lo..haha
Actually when u use yr old AP bat... is it ok? not problem right? My "standby bat" now i charged it and keep aside..but my bat is abit more improved..the copper is as the ori and the "hole" u mention also got liao...only is the printing is same as u showed in page 1 shakehead.gif

Actually about MSM and MFM i got bit personal experience la. cause actually my friend got a N81 (i think), so he got AGPS. and since he don't have any software i ask him want install garmin or not (as i also use as "testing" la..hehe)
then i use MFM map for him..and discover his map quite details as even got logo along the road..like MD, petronas..and so on..

My garmin (which come installed with E71, i request the supplier to install for me) is just only roads with no logo. (signaficant dif from MFM) so i think mine is MSM la..
but not sure MFM got singapore map? cause i stick to MSM is i might travel to SG if needed. sweat.gif

xavi, need ur help. is it advisable to update garmin fron 5.00.0 to 5.00.5?

i downloaded the garminmobilextforsymbians603rdedition50050.exe... and after install do i need to register it or anything? or will it just update from the 5.00.0?
*
If yr version is 500.30 or later, then i think u need not in a hurry to update it. as 500.30 is already can disable backgroud service and save bat life. It's lucky for me that when i solve the bat life issue my garmin can disable the service..so no need to upgrade it..

Why i say tht? cause no need to chase for software update unless necessary. if everything is fine at the moment and fulfill yr needs. then just leave it....

ur agps on or not? u location was in car or wat? sometimes the cloud also is a disturbance

Actually my understanding is...garmin if no AGPS then it'll prompt for bluetooth GPS..so u can't use it with E71 without ON the AGPS..

1) Upgrade
2) De grade to V4

I got mine from pasar malam serdang.. Rm12..but i heard some can get it at even lower price..

Chester:
Agps can be turn off. U should untick bluetooth gps as well . It will still work.
Between mfm and msm.. I prefer mfm as it is updated weekly and d installation is easier as compare to msm.. Detail wise yes mfm is more detail when east m'sia is ur location.
and yes mfm hav singapore,borneo m'sia map.. They r all compiled together de..
*
oh yeah..forgot..but i think i read it somewhere that if A-gps not ON it'll take much longer time to search for satelite and logon position.
so if the logon time to locate position is slow, tht might be the problem. but Apgs will eat up data transfer and cost u abit only.

im using this 500.00 one... cant disable the background services

therefore, now looking forward to upgrade... the problem is... do i need to reinstall/ahem ahem the maps/garmin or not??

or simply reinstall / overwrite current garmin will do??

please kindly advise.
i only installed garmin on a clean phone b4, no upgrade before as mine is 500.30..so it's the version that added disable function.
but u can just download and install it..cause as normal program it'll detect there's an older version or not..if yes, it'll guide u thru the process.

good luck icon_rolleyes.gif

On V300 firmware

p.s. v300 so far so good with no hangs and lags unlike previous v200

Actually about the V300 & V200, really unsure the stability. As some reported V300 have hand problem & V200 is stable.

For me so far i use V200 is no problem as maybe i only used few program, so far haven explore receive emails yet.

So wonder anyone can feed back that V200 n' V300 what application have problem

Just a compilation and sharing see if same Version user have the problem as well...atleast let us know more on the Version upgrade.

Hmm...actually i really don't get the hang of surfing with E71, unless necessary. Cause the screen & fonts is still small and the cursor still need to do the "up down left right" thing. hmm.gif, still rather surf with laptop / pc.

I only use E71 to direct download themes or application.

and honestly you should give opera mini 5 a try. the tabbed browsing is awesome smile.gif

haha..good answer. now i get it.
means that u use all boring waiting time to surf. some use the time to play games..like me. haha
I just download opera 4.2 not long..will try V5 after it become official Version as i seldom surf for the moment. mostly play games or listen music to slot my boring time icon_idea.gif

Managed to get the worldmate working properly by reloading and reinstalling. Thanks for reply.

As for battery life of hp, my E71 lasts up to 3 days for calls, sms and emails. That's about normal. If I do a lot of web surfing and picture taking plus view videos the battery life drops, down to a day sometimes. Honesty, why can't phone companies install a larger capacity battery into their phones. With touch or amoled screens, you'll be lucky if it lasts 2 days. My LG Arena's battery lasts almost 3 days, too with normal calls and sms but drops quickly if I use a lot of multimedia and fiddle a lot with the touch screen. Nokia E71 has a 1500 mAh battery while my Arena only has a 1000 mAh battery! My first generation iphone has a 1800 mAh battery which lasts up to 5 days on standby.
*
well, i think u have almost answer yr own question, with so much usage of surf and video, still want the battery to last how long? iphone 1800 in standby, can't compare with E71 have usage lo. So the lasting still depends on usage (don't everything ware n tear?) think of laptop. why only last 3-5 hrs of fully charge?
and HP last for 3 days..with usage and power up 24 hrs.

Opt to buy a spare batt as now it's not expensive and am enjoying of having a spare batt to switch. E71 can last up to 6-7 days in standby with low usage thumbup.gif


Added on October 1, 2009, 2:34 amany bros here have sync E71 before? i use microsoft outlook, and i have a habit to key in all event as "all day" cause my schedule is an activities event.
after sync, i see all the event changed to "memo" in E71, and E71 calendar have a bug (i treat it as one), if u key in a meeting and tick "all day", the whole day on the date is occupied from 12:01 - 11.59 and u see in day view is a long highlight.

any better calendar for E71 that act like outlook? as i think outlook more flexible.
