Well, Does anyone here know what software can see K.L map???

i'd recommend transcend 80x or 150x

cheers. just my 2cents.

today my 818 Pro many times can't detect my 1GB Kingston SD lah

Getting a bit pissed off got to soft reset. Also i notice that my dopod 818 hangs after charging it. Got to soft reset.

Which is what I finally got.. Transcend 80x. The wife's using sandisk. Both 1GB's.

The bottleneck here is the slow SDIO interface.
The Dopod cant take advantage of high speed cards at all.
I ran some benchmarks and found that the read speed is actually a few times slower than advertised.

eten macam best je...

anyone test it out before?

I'm getting really piss off with the DOPOD 818 Pro that my sister bought as before this the system lag like hell which take forever to load so ended up have to HARD RESET it and now the middle part of the touch screen not even working!!!! This is truly one faulty product and im going to ask for a new one ASAP!!!!

i think u guys didn't end the programs under Memory. i alwiz end those programs b4 i off my dopod to standby.there's 1 time it loaded damn slow so i just off and on back the dopod. no need to hard/soft reset

uncle sniper,
how much u got it? i'm gonna go check later. gonna snake a bit from work

betul x ni??

Review from CNET....


But most lowyatian says the dopod is slow... so which is true?

i don't find my dopod slow or lag except when it first start up (after soft -reset), as alkt mentioned - always end program that are not in use and best way to do it is in Settings--> System--> Memory--> Running Programs--> Stop or Stop All

For those of you having problems disconnecting to GPRS, follow above steps to ensure MSN is stopped and also always sign out from MSN Messenger to avoid continuous connection to GPRS.

The only thing i am not happy is that have to soft reset many times and SD card suddenly not detected.

Got to soft reset when

1. charge phone using wall charger.
2. play Astrogames and midway got to do something else so did not stop the program/exit and goto standby, when turn on again phone hangs.

Gen-X ... did u set turn off device on external power (after few mins idle) . if yes .. just unchecked the option .. and i believe you dont have to soft reset after charging the battery.

Those who on Messenger almost 24/7...

how many kb does it use? during standy? during 'normal' chat session?

I have yet to buy Dopod or any pda phone at the moment, and im still using 'pay as u go' gprs...

That is bcoz im not sure to subscribe the data package or stick to 'pay as u go' package....

NT1900 if I remembered correctly. The sandisk is cheaper at NT1400

There's the most annoying thing...searching for a network takes up large resources and my phone once hang upon turning off camera cos media player was enabling the gprs.

On another note....

CHEAP way of improving grip on 818Pro.

How cheap? Only RM1.

Step 1: Figure out the ergonomics...where the phone contacts/grips with the hand. This is how I hold my phone with my left hand.



Step 2: Went out to get one of these stick on grips for ladies high heels and cut them to size. Thought of using those 3M ones but no point wasting money. Plus, they stick well without going out of shape cos they're designed for shoes.
