I am planning to get a N8 in a few days time..but stuck at what color to get. Pretty silly I know :s I'm thinking of getting either the black or the silver one. Any pros and cons to either color?

Hi all...just got my N8 yesterday and sad to say I spent more time switching the phone on and off after it hung for a number of times than actually using it. Phone hung twice while I was transferring files via Bluetooth from my old phone (Nokia 5800) and once when I opened an image file I transferred.
Every time it hung it seems to take longer to restart the phone compared to the previous incident. Anyone facing this problem?

QUOTE(aspire2oo6 @ Nov 6 2010, 06:36 PM) have u reset your phone before use?
Uh nope..used it straight after the guy charged it for a few minutes at the store. Just went back to the store where they did a master reset. Have yet to try anything though as they advised to use the phone for a while without transferring anything for a few days first..which sounds kinda ridiculous as I need to transfer a lot of stuff over to the new phone as soon as possible

Just transferred a bunch of songs via USB to my N8 but they're not showing in the music playlist. They show up however, in the file manager application. Any idea on how to update the music player? Already refreshed the library a number of times but to no avail.

Copied to Sounds > Simple folder. I was using the N8 as a mass storage to transfer.

4th day in of me owning this phone and I can say that this has been a disappointing purchase. Earlier the phone hung when a call came in! Can you imagine that? I really hope that Nokia releases updates that fixes all these bugs as soon as possible T_T

QUOTE(stimix @ Nov 8 2010, 12:50 PM) hmnnn calling also hang kei? funny no wor on my set...The only hang Kei I encountered so far was the web browser after got sudden disconnection from Wifi spot. Also normal app Hangkei such as Garmin which is easier to kill by pressing the menu key haha.. This is after the master reset which the store performed after i complained of the phone hanging. Previously transferring files, opening a file and several other actions caused the phone to hang. Cousin of mine has a N8 as well, but no problems on his unit so far. Salesperson at the store where I bought my phone even said "Tengok nasib la kalau dapat phone tak bagus"

QUOTE(PyOsE @ Nov 8 2010, 01:34 PM) +1 my working place, it's gonna rain..9MP I remember in an earlier picture you posted in this thread, you had 2 mailboxes set up in your phone. I am having an issue where the phone automatically connects to my WiFi to update the mailbox even though I have changed the settings to "Ask first before connecting". The damn thing will keep connecting to the WiFi which drains the battery real fast. Problem was solved when I deleted my mailbox. Do you have this similar problem?

QUOTE(PyOsE @ Nov 8 2010, 01:46 PM) not yet coz i'm on unlimited data plan all the while (using 3G Internet)...must be the WiFi setting thingy QUOTE(sklchan @ Nov 8 2010, 01:46 PM) problem solved by dataplan.... remember although the connection is there but it won't drain much battery as it's mostly idling...  Hmm..I have yet to suscribe to a data plan (either tomorrow or the day after) but don't you have a limit or something? If left on 24/7 you'll definitely exceed the limit of the data plan. I know Digi's is unlimited, but the Maxis one I'm planning to get has a 3GB limit monthly >_< Any Maxis mobile data plan users here who can share info if it's possible to exceed the limit if the connection is left on 24/7?

QUOTE(sklchan @ Nov 8 2010, 02:14 PM) don't worry... it's mostly connected but idling and the data are very less as only for the widget and email.... i'm depleting my maxis hotlink balance now... and ony got 500Mb cap since 22 Oct till now only use up ~220Mb...  Hmm..so little usage? I removed any widgets that need updating from my homescreen as I was concerned it would automatically update itself, incurring data charges they did so. Say the widgets are not on your homescreen but in your applications folder. Will they auto update as well if connected online?
