Welcome. My pleasure to help. Now my phone is having some issues as well. It lags and it lags till it hangs... Shit...

I don't know what's the problem though... But somehow the phone lags till it hangs. I am guessing it's some firmware bug or something. All of a sudden after I did the hard reset thing (*#7370#) there were so many facebook app widgets that appear in the installed applications folder.

I learned one thing, don't do hard reset. It's bad for the phone.

That one I am not sure as in how to verify they did that or not...

Hard reset is only a last resort... Mine was lag till it hang.

But anyway I've sent my phone to NCC for them to deal with it. I think it's the firmware problem...

The when did you bought your phone? About the sliding one I've no comments man... Why not try taking it the the NCC at Amcorp that side. It's the headquaters there so you can feel free to lodge a complain there. Bring the job sheet with you and notify them that the BB one didn't do a good job or rather didn't do anything.

Talking about phone accessories, yes it's only 6 months warranty.

Mine not only lag... but it actually hang after lagging and it got worse after I did the hard reset thingy. Shouldn't have even thought of doing hard reset...

Hahaha. But now it's with NCC so I have one thing to worry less. I think the hard reset did corrupt firmware.

Same here. Just make sure when you wanna use the browser, turn on the wifi first before anything else. That is what I can suggest. Or probably it's the settings of the phone.

OK... that's a little weird. Try checking the network connection settings.

Smart phones became too smart

There is no specific Nokia Software Updater for a specific phone. The software in which Nokia provides on the web is for all Nokia phones. The software itself will determine what phone model is plugged into the computer and search for any available updates for the phone model.

If Nokia would create a specific software updater for each and every other phone, they might as well be an IT company than a phone manufacturing company.

In the website they do ask you to choose your phone model. But it's the same Software Updater software you are getting. The software in which they provide is able to determine what phone model you are using and it will search for relevant updates for the phone.

If you think I am talking rubbish then fine by me. I am just clarifying things for you but seems like you're being sensitive. Mind you I am using 2 different Nokia phones and I am using the same Nokia Software Updater.

And now by using the Ovi Suite you can do the firmware updates there as well.

Thanks for the wise words. for you bro.

Oh yes, yesterday I managed to ask Clareen (whom I bought my phone from) she told me the NCC in BB (which was the one you went to) is the HQ not the Amcorp Mall one. And apparently Clareen did told me that she has heard complaints about the NCC in Amcorp and Sunway.

But I am also finding it kinda weird because if you click here it says HQ is at Amcorp.

And my my... my phone is still with them...

Yes you can change the network from 3G/Dual to GSM. It does save the battery a little.

The flash you can opt to set it to be off as when you take pictures though.

ISO.... hmmmm I haven't really explored the camera yet. Maybe the rest here can share?

Hmm... Sorry mate, I don't have my phone with me at the time being so I cannot help you troubleshoot your problem.

But the network change from 3G/ Dual to GSM is something which I can still remember. I hope you found it?

Haha yea. The only option is to switch the language though. But as I know you can install a certain language on the phone by flashing it by yourself with the help of one flashing software and the specific firmware you want which is easily found over the net. I've never done that before so I can't help you on that.

Hahaha actually the complaints that Clareen told me about is only the duration they take to diagnose the problem and repair the phone. I think it's not really a problem how long they need to repair it (as in a week is still ok) as long the problem get's fixed.

There's another NCC at 1Utama. That NCC is pretty fast from what I heard from Clareen. You can PM her for details though. But I think she would tell you the same thing I am telling you

Huh (on the bold part) Mine is perfectly fine. What line are you using? Maxis or DiGi or Celcom?

Same here, the speed of the work done is not really an issue but that's if and only if it doesn't take more than a week.

Did you by accident enable that thing feature to search for wifi connection every now and then?

Maybe you should try switching off the wifi feature whenever you're not using too

I called NCC Amcorp again just then. One of the operators who answered the phone just didn't know how to talk to me...

I got to know that they are changing the motherboard on my phone... Hmm I guess it's really true that my phone was corrupeted by doing that hard reset thing.

I am also hoping to get my phone back by Friday..

This phone has some issues especially the sliding QWERTY keypad. It tends to get loose and wobbles a lot and it's also quite common for most sliders.

About the phone restarting every 5 to 10 minutes is likely because of the firmware bug. What firmware version are you using?

Seems like there's another person having the similar problem as littlebeettle (ie the screen going to landscape mode or returning to potrait mode). But which NCC did you send it to?

Hmmm... I don't know what else you can do about it... Hmmm... What's your software version?

There is a task manager but it doesn't do much. Just hold down the menu key until something pops up.

Ohh... Hmmm... I think you should do like what the other fella said. Bring it there wait a while then the thing should happen. What's your firmware version?

Loan phone? That time I didn't ask But expect to wait like 3 working days. The people at Amcorp NCC doesn't open during the weekends and they work from 9am -6pm.

NCC 1U is open everyday.

Could it be firmware bug?

Which version?

My advice is to bring it to the nearest NCC to resolve the problem. Anyone here has the same problem?

Added on June 14, 2010, 10:20 pmI just collected my phone this afternoon from NCC Amcorp. They did a good job by changing my motherboard. But now, it seems like I am having the same problem as most people are having. The phone just auto restarts by itself. Anyone here having that issue and how did you solve it?
