i hate holding the e71 from teh back coz after the oil etc touch the metal portion , looks really ugly man.

bro, i bought mine for rm 1260 original nokia set about 2 weeks ago
Got it from a forumer that has a nokia booth at giant ss3.

Not bad offer....for that price i got the original full package set, free garmin and some other free apps, free screen protector and free ori car charger

i think the price i paid is kind of worth it for the functions i have.
battery life is about 2 days with occasional gps/3-4 hours calls per day/wifi about 1 hour per charge.

overall, battery live is good with this phone. and the qwerty is a blessign.

and yes, from e-trade-pj

back to the question, any better protector out there for e71?

i was thinking of invisible shield but i suck at doing it myself. because i know how bad i can be even putting screen protectors on.

So im just asking anyone got better solution in terms of protection?

I think its in your PCSUITE setting or outlook.
i remember that there ws one tab that i can select to have 1 way push, 1 way pull from outlook or 1 way push to outlook
and u can granularly set it to update contact, exchange mail, calendar or only either one.

Cant remember bro. will need to check my notebook setting tomorow.



Btw, have u guys face a problem whereby u press the menu button, seems like the menu trying to come up but somehow stuck? and then u press cancel again and it happen again?

Wierd. i had to reset my phone then only can select the menu button

fark! my e71 memory card auto encrypted itself after i rebooted my phone.
god knows hwo that happen but from what i read online, its a bug. and u cant decrypt it because it cant find a key ( since it stupidly autolocked the memory card)

had to reformat my card. bye bye garmin

im on the latest firmware. got my phone 3 weeks ago.

reinstall? thats what im planning to do now. the shop installed it for me. tried installing myself but failed. its asking for product id which i dont have lol

guys, i need your help in this
i tried configuring my emial and screwed up.
so i uninstall the standard nokia for exchange mail client.


now i can see my mailbox there but nothing inside as if it did not uninstall clean. Any idea hwo to go about this? even when i press my mail button, it goes to that folder.

anyone manage to solve the menu hang problem?
getting bladi irrittng

i just restored factory settings n see what happens after some recommendation

ok so far 3 days after factory reset my phone
so far no menu hang and my battery life is slightly better.

usually the day off full charge, i end up with 4-3 bars...now i'm left with 5 bars at the same time and almost with the same activity

just upgraded my firmware to 400.xx ones..omg! i love my phone even more now.

everything is fast. previous gps locking takes 15 mins now it takes 10-15 Sec( no im not axxagerating, maybe my previous setup suks)

plus i notice the menu is alot snappier than before......i'l wait for a week to see if everything is working good as they should

i dont have much app's so to me is not a problem i guess.

my garmin is installed on mem card so that's a relief( the only app i ever need anyways)

Hacking wise im not sure....phone is ori and i plan to keep it free from nokia's excuses of hacked etc when servicing my phone.

You will need to reinstall to the phone......as long the app's are there, then jus reinstall to recognize the app to the phone.


another note, use nokia ovi...it has a backup option for u to use..not sure how good is the application restore tho..never tried

if you got proxy, then you need to set la
macam your pc...if your proxy is transparent proxy then u dont have to do anything.

If yours is not transparent proxy, then u will need to set.
I think to set it, u will need to go to connection manager and select wifi

then click for the options and click edit.


edit the setting by putting in the proxy

ok i just realised e71 has 1 limitation with WIFI!
assuming u are using corporate wifi and there is a need to put a proxy in to surf net, there is one limitation.

If your company is using BlueCoat Proxy's which rely heavily on Active Directory, u will need to key in a domain account name and password. However e71 does not allow you to key in the domain acc and password as there is no settings for that in even in advance config..


Gawd DaMN!

depends really. Some corporate network has segments for guest ie unprotective connection to the internet
some has wifi that is going through a proxy/firewall. This proxy relies heavily on active directory for access control and who has access to what. Reason being - Makes life simpler with this approach.

However, the Nokia e71 does not have an option by default to add your domain account to the phone so the proxy will recognize this to be a non authorative device = FAILED lol!

I wonder if there is 3rd party app that manages wifi or has a plethora of options for me in order to use this domain account

Yes it should be prompt by web browser. however if its not prompted, it can be added into the proxy profile.
My opera mobile shows the popup but nimbuzz does not. I guess its more towards application problem more than the phone. But i believe the phone should also have this function of adding the username/password by default as an option to use in a corporate network. This is afterall a business phone so im curious how Nokia did not see this coming.
