Is there anyway that I could demand for a new phone ? NCC is run by partner Mobile Technic , i will be glad for a new phone replacement shorter waiting time...

What is your opinion, Master Alien ?


Added on October 21, 2010, 6:04 pm
Ya, maybe should go HQ in Amcorp Mall for second opinion......minutes b4 sent it for checking still can sms, make call, go on line etc. After they flashed it, dead totally .....suspicious  rclxub.gif

You can call up all the NCC Centre and check; If not check with Nokia Malaysia directly, ask them to look into your case. Under warranty, if they cannot fix within certain period, they should honour your a replacement; If not also at least provide you a spare phone for your to you since it take so long.

My previous experience with my iPod Touch support was great; My iPod Touch accelerometer 'kong', just around 2 month like that, send in, they identify the problem, file in warranty claims; No hassle for me. They say usually it will take around 2 weeks. Not long after, I received email on my status, and also the follow up status. Basically, I got a replacement unit within 2 weeks.
From what I read, if the unit cannot be fixed within certain period, they will replace another unit to the owner. Then the unit will be fixed and than be given to other customers whose unit also have delay issue. Not sure how true.

In the Ranger program, I have put in the comment, the support is very important; No matter how great a product, it's useless if the support is poor.
Last time, when NCC was together with Nokia Shop, I feel it was better. Not so much trouble, checking/sending in for repair is more easy and faster. Now like expand bigger, but more levels, more complicated, become more trouble and hassle to the consumer.


QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Oct 21 2010, 06:13 PM)
No no no NEVEREVER SEND THERE. I send my Nokia 8800 carbon arte for them to check 1 week. Check only
I recommend you to send to the NCC 1 utama

The best solution for you call all the NCC centre explain to you when can get stock then confirmed only send it in.
*
NCC 1 Utama is the branch for AmCorp Mall; They're Mobile Technic, Authorised Care Centre for Nokia. Subang one is another company, KL one another company... I asked the lady about official Nokia Care Centre, seems there is none? All are authorized centre only...

sometimes once in a while will auto reboot, says "a reboot is caused by an unexpected error", something like that.
wonder is due to low voltage or not o.o

edit: next time i try to capture a screenshot o.o
*
Most probably; If you want to try, when you OC in low voltage or ideal, etc. try playing videos with mplayer (which utilizes the processor), or play flash games, etc. You might experience the reboot problem is your processor couldn't take it. So you can know the limit.

Ya, pls convey our predicaments to the higher level, Nokia pushed us to NCC, said not their job. We spent thousand of $$$$ for this kind of service. All complaints turned to deaf ears, which Nokia Malaysia should I go now ?????? icon_question.gif

Was in NCC Berjaya Plaza half a day waited to be attended to , 4 counters (2 quite ok Malay ladies, 1 blur blur India lady n 1 so so  India Man). Most times they only  attend to runners with loads n loads of phones (they do not need to get a q no.)

Staff there refused to let me talk to higher level for solutions. My past experience with other phone co. they actually loan me a spare phone.

I lost confidence on NOKIA totally witnessing the way they treat customers, we supported them and they treat us like ""doing us a favour " kind of mindset.

Biggest joke, the staff told me i am lucky that lately they have obtained the N900 software, if not they got to sent my phone to HQ for reformatting and sent back to BP, and it takes abt a week long.

I was thinking . phewww  something that my sifus here can get done few minutes.....hmmmm

Is there any platform that we can voice out our grievances, that can reach those deaf NOKIANS. vmad.gif
*
You can get all the NCC contacts from Nokia Website, try to email/contact Nokia Malaysia as well and highlight to them this issue.

Nowadays, too many levels, not good, if the lower level is not helping the customer, the top people wouldn't know, and many on the lower levels just doing their job, if lucky you might meet those that are passionate and serious about their job andwill try to help you out, but might have another problem is he/she has no power in his position, then he/she can only help you out to a certain extemd.

Anyway, you can also find Nokia Malaysia in Facebook.

The noise is called image noise, not the sound; Try take picture in low light and set the ISO to highest, you will notice the picture got many 'noise', like dot-dot-dot, it makes the picture look 'not nice'; Some processing tries to reduce the noise at the expense of detail, which you will see it blurs/smoothens the picture loosing details.

so means even dark till anything can't see also can't even take a "Ghost" picture? sad.gif

Actually take photo with flash is not nice, unnatural, especially with built-in flash.
Normally, when we take photo, we try to take "natural" look or WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get). To do this, you can play with aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
For objects that doesn't move, you can set the shutter speed as slow as possible (provided you have super steady hands or use a tripod), with this, you can even take super dark photo and look like in bright room.
For moving objects, you need fast shutter speed, so you will need to use higher ISO; This part, usually you will need DSLR range to achieve little or no noise, it will help with a very low aperture lens like f1.4/f..18 (to allow more light to be captured)

Basically, for FCam, you will see the first option "Exposure"; Try force the ISO to 100 (by selecting manual and moving the bar to the most LEFT, you will see the ISO is now 100). By forcing it to 100, the picture quality will be very good with little or no noise. If you're in a dark room, you will see your Exposure will automatically set to "1s" (1 Second), which I think it's the slowest available. This means, when you press the camera button, you have to hold the camera super steady for 1 second.
You can try play around in low light room, rest your N900 on something steady and press the camera button, you will see the picture still look nice (provided no shake).

If you have seen those pictures where the lights got "lining", it's because of the shutter speed. Have you seen those picture people use lightstick write on air and the picture come out with the words? brows.gif

MONO speaker shakehead.gif
Not good not good; Imagine your ringtone sounded and people thought what "cheap" phone you carry... sweat.gif
Or... when you show your friend some videos, they might ask you, why the sound like that one? sweat.gif
My 6600 was having MONO speaker, really struggles around THAT MONO speaker, during that time, many people switch over to SE phones due to poor speaker/sound from Nokia; After that, it changes, Nokia starts coming out with Stereo speaker and prioritize audio in their device.
Now, not sure what happen... although can use headset, but.... should at least provide a decent speaker... we can't upgrade, so hardware is very important to provide.

Non-removeable (or hard to remove) battery, also not good not good... shakehead.gif
Got hang problem, troublesome, most people prefer the good old remove battery way.
People who carry additional battery, can forget it now.

2 years because you're buying ORI. 3years warranty over already x) The nokia form if u order get 3 years. biggrin.gif

Pre-orders get 2 years warranty. After that is 1 year warranty.

If it's Nokia it; it's Original;
AP is still original, just a different country set.
Authorised = Malaysian set.

Just like you can buy Sony Playstation from console shop, which can be other country model, warranty from the shop itself. This is AP products.
If you buy from Sony Malaysia or you choose to buy Malaysian set, you get warranty by Sony Malaysia.

NON-ORIGINAL = FAKE, IMMITATION (e.g. NokLa)

of course i know the difference between Authorized retailer AVAXX/Zitron and other self-import AP company.

what i was wondering is why some people say 1 year and some say 2 years.

now i know, only pre-order get 2 year. not fair la.

even my 5800 xm had 18 month warranty from AVAXX.
*
Actually, my explanation was quoting another person who said only ORI have it.

I think pre-Order deserve some benefits, after all, they're considered loyal users; Usually customers would want to see/test the real thing first, or wait for price drop tongue.gif
Last time pre-Orders for other models get special gift; For those who buy after launch, will need to pay for it.

Any game that can be ported to ARM SDL can be played, THEORETICALLY. Computer games that can be played on the N900 include:

1) Descent
2) OpenTTD
3) Baldur's Gate/BG2/Icewind Dale or any BG based game (GemBG)
4) Jagged Alliance 2 (the ONLY smartphone to run this wonderful game - and yes I've checked)
5) Dune II (but it's an old game so...)
5) All sorts of id Software games (Quake 1-3, Doom, Hexen, Heretic)

The list goes on... There was even talk of porting Homeworld (yes, the space RTS) onto the N900, but last I checked it was kinda stalled.

Long story short, as long as an ARM SDL version of your computer game exists, you can play it on the N900. But whether or not it plays nicely with the touch screen is a different story.
*
Add to list:
WarCraft2 & StarCraft2 using Stratagus Engine (incomplete).
Theme Hospital using 3rd party engine, not complete.
I think there is also C&C: Red Alert

There is Quake III: Arena in the repos.

.vbs is a Visual Basic Script file, you can use notepad to open and see the codes. It can contain malicious or harmful codes, it can also be used to remove virus entries, etc.

Don't double click it as it will execute the script.

Screw multitouch!
The games are still very much playable with single touch input.
There are apps to unzip & unrar in repo but I'm not sure how to use them.
But I think the extraction will take a longer time.

Racing games doesn't really need multi-touch, as long as the accelerometer is working properly, lol

Last time my iPod Touch accelerometer got stuck, lmao, hardware failure. Luckily Apple support is good, hassle free claims and within 2 weeks I got a new replacement unit since I think they can't fix it within the period.

How do you guys pause the game in NFSUC?
What about exiting the game?

I have to use CTRL+BackSpace (which also pauses the game).

Any other solution?

QUOTE(sk8pass1 @ Oct 26 2010, 12:23 AM)
Guys, Updated my N900 with the latest release of PR1.3, don't realize much yet. Tho since i updated my firmware, my overclock settings is all back to default, and i've to recall how did i set my default overclock speed.

I realized that most of the UI is much faster & smoother. I've like 2000+ contacts in my phone, thus previous firmware...takes a long time for it to load, now it's some what instant.

music player works smoother, I got an incoming call when i was actually installing an app. instantly accepted call when i press accept.

Music player widget works smoother (pressed on pause play pause play, reacted smoothly) although previous firmware mine was working fine but a lil bit lag+delay

Ovi map works faster smoother (no voice recognition yet i guess? please advise) tho i'm using Sygic 10.

Web browser = faster smoother

Rotating to portrait mode & back to landscape view is much smoother.

Since PR1.2's release of Integrated Facebook Chat (Not via Jaber), I can hardly use it since i've 3000+ facebook contacts and it just hangs my phone like CRAZY!.
NOW since PR1.3, i notice it has improved . Although it is hangs a bit on & off compared to when i'm using pidgin. But wth? it's integrated supposed to work smoother and efficiently compared to third parties application?

Stuff I would want to know/ still to find out.

3G Video Calls (Wasn't integrated previously)
Skype Video Calls to other N900 devices / Mac Computers (Can't see webcam)
Better Apps, "Obviously with the Brand new QT 4.7
Integrated Dual Boot to Meego OS

Holla back

Could it be due to fresh install? Have you restore and download all the apps you have previously?

Flashing you don't have to worry all those, or you can use Nokia Software Updater to do it.

*
Basically, backup your data and settings, and you're good to go. If you want to maintain your apps, then only OTA update, but OTA update "can" be risky and I'm not sure it you can use OTA as meLi encounter error message when try to update via OTA, I suppose there is some conflicts with some apps? With OTA, you're just updating instead of install fresh, so there may be some issues especially if you have install certain apps that maybe cause conflict.

Anyway, for flashing, everything you can get back through restoring the backup, the apps will be listed for you to choose to re-download and re-install.

is VLC on the main app store or cydia ?

I don't think it should be in the app store; Apple has restrictions on video types, and we cannot transfer files as we like to iOS devices. So, if in App Store, I don't see the reason.

Funny they release for iOS when it's the most usless to release on iOS as it's harder to manage files there, harder to transfer files, etc. Release on ANY smartphone is better than iOS.

Check if your N900 successfully obtained IP Address (you can know easily if you have IP widget)
If not you can check from X-Term
sudo gainroot
ifconfig

Check under wlan0, make sure there is value for "inet addr"


If there is, it could be your DNS not obtain properly. DNS is the one that let you resolve those names instead of IP Address. I'm not sure how to check in X-Terminal, but for Windows, we can check via the Connection Properties or using ipconfig /all.
You can edit your connection manually in N900 and manually set the DNS. If you're using normal Streamyx, the DNS is:
202.188.0.133
202.188.1.5

Read my previous reply:
1. Are you connected? Able to obtain IP?
2. If yes to (1), then probably it's the DNS problem, you can set you connection manually. The DNS, you can check from your PC connected and able to surf. Check from the connection properties.
