For kinetic scrolling, have you tried installing SPB mobile shell?

Added on January 11, 2011, 6:03 pmHave you checked it with Sony Ericsson SC? Is the signal transmitting in Wifi g or Wifi n?

---

Added on January 11, 2011, 6:04 pmWhat OS problems are you referring to? Can you list them down?

---

Added on January 11, 2011, 6:04 pmIn the first place, where did you install your programs? In the phone memory or in the memory card? You should try and use up the 8GB memory card first.

Added on January 11, 2011, 6:04 pmJust replace the gmapsupp.img file.

Added on January 11, 2011, 6:05 pmThe picture quality on the Vivaz Pro is better than the Carl Zeis on the X6.

Added on January 11, 2011, 6:06 pmYou sure? Which review is this?

---

Added on January 11, 2011, 6:07 pmYup. Not forgetting the PowerVR SGX graphics too.

Added on January 11, 2011, 6:07 pmUsually, a fully charged battery will last one full day. Yours is more than 1 day. Why are you worried?

To make it last longer, change the Network to use only GSM instead of Dual Mode if you're not using 3G.

The last pic looks quite good.

Added on January 19, 2011, 11:18 amI don't surf a lot on the phone. Perhaps like somebody mentioned, just reset the phone?

Added on January 19, 2011, 11:19 amI have not really played with my wife's Vivaz but from the limited amount of time I was on it to install stuff, I found the screen not too accurate when I type or select icons. Because of the lack of physical keyboard, my wife uses the stylus. Therefore, she does not find inaccuracy irritating. Perhaps the screen needs some input recalibration. My Vivaz Pro was spot on out of the box.

I think sound loudness sounds the same for both phones. Note that speaker placement on the Vivaz and the Vivaz Pro is different and therefore they may seem to sound different. If you put the Vivaz Pro face up on a flat hard surface, the sound from the speaker below the phone is amplified by the hard surface. If you put the Vivaz Pro on a pillow face up, the sound would be muted. One tip I accidentally found out when I forgot to silence my phone, I would just cover the speaker phone hole behind the phone to soften the ring.

With regards to scratch resistant screen, I thought I saw some video to show that it was scratch resistant but not from my own findings. I already have very fine scratches on mine.

Good headset? Dr. Dre?

Added on January 19, 2011, 11:25 amThanks for the tip. Regarding signing your app, why don't you do it locally? Very mafan to send and wait for your apps to be signed. Just get your free .cer and .key files from your IMEI and use a program like SISContents to sign your own programs locally in your own PC.

I've installed Ferrari GT Evolution (64MB ), Rally Master Pro (17MB. Had to install it manually since surprisingly mine did not come with it) and Need For Speed Shift (81MB ). So far I cannot run the NFS. I think something went wrong during installation or perhaps not enough memory.

Added on January 21, 2011, 10:55 amThis is why I say the method you mentioned earlier is very mafan. Imagine having to send 17MB mail for them to sign it for you and then download it to install...

Using SISContents in this case is much better and faster.

Added on January 21, 2011, 10:56 amI also transitioned from K810 and I'm also a little lost with Symbian when I got this phone.

For those who have not signed, I signed mine at the following link;

http://www.s60certkey.com

You need to do a simple registration at the site and wait 24 hours or so for them to reply with the relevant files.

Any difference between this and the SPB Mobile? SPB's one also supports kinetic scrolling and ability to add/remove widgets. Gives you 5 home screens too.

Added on January 24, 2011, 10:10 amWith the umobile sim card, have you tried to request and download the data / internet settings for the Vivaz?

In my opinion lah... Don't shoot me. If I want to "show off" and showcase the capabilities of the Vivaz / Vivaz Pro, I would install games and apps like this that fully utilises it's graphics power.

---

Added on January 24, 2011, 4:51 pmIf I sign the program, it would only install and work on MY phone because when you sign the app, it uses .cer and .key created from your own phone's IMEI.

You need to sign up (free) on a website like the http://www.s60certkey.com and submit your phone IMEI and wait for 24 hours. Log in back and check to see if the .cer and .key files are ready for download. Then use a program like SISContents on your PC to sign the app. Once signed, save the file as a different name. Transfer the file to your phone via USB and install the app from the phone.

Didn't you read my post (#2078)?

Added on January 26, 2011, 7:19 pmActually, there is no harm posting that game because it comes free with the Vivaz / Vivaz Pro anyways... For those who have ter-deleted the game, you can download it back.

Any reason why you want to revert to old firmware?

I think something is not right. So far I have not heard of anything bad with regards to GPS signal getting worse after firmware update. If this was true, there will be thousands affected also. I suggest you reinstall and make sure the settings are correct.

Did you install Garmin correctly? That's my only suspect. Install it wrongly and it would not know how to use the internal GPS of the Vivaz.

Only thing to try now is to re-install the Garmin.

Added on January 29, 2011, 5:50 amHmmm, from what I can see, there's about 730 certs and keys pending as of now. The person in charge in on holiday? They also say to give them 24 / 48 Hours to reply.

What I could do is I could use my account to apply the cert and key for you but that would mean that you need to give me your phone IMEI and once the files are available, I could email it to you as attachments. Not sure if it's dangerous to reveal IMEI numbers or not like CC... I actually did that for a friend and the cert and key arrived fast in less than 24 hours. Perhaps they only layan existing members and slow to reply to new members?

Why don't you try and install Garmin? So far everybody that has installed it works fine.

As the software is not supported anymore, please google for Garmin XT version 5.00.60.

I actually don't quite understand your question. I think you meant to say if SE will stop supporting the Vivaz in terms of new firmwares etc. For the OS, it's actually the Symbian community and heavyweights like Nokia that should be answering if they would stop or continue developing Symbian. So long as the Symbian community develops and supports S60V5, the Vivaz OS should still be supported as well.

As for the firmware, nobody can say. Besides, phones are not like cars. Max life the phone gets is one year and then it will be replaced by new models.

If you want the Vivaz to have a new user interface, you can try the SPB shell.
