I guess the supported video format is 3GPP, I have played a few of my movies converted to 3GPP, not bad, pretty smooth and watchable. I just got my hp two weeks ago. I like it, it's more responsive and user friendly than my old K700i last time. Hahaha. Great hp, especially the orange lights in the middle. Cool

I never used digital zoom before because it affacts the picture quality and perhaps in the future, hps might come with a camera with optical zoom.

Ehhh ....... my K618i can last 3 days with averagely over 2 hours of talking time. How come yours lasted 2 days only? You always sms, ar? The colour screen will drain the battery, if you're always on sms or playing games on it. If not, poor reception will cause your hp to work harder, that causes power drain too.
 QUOTE(PJS @ Nov 23 2006, 09:43 PM) Oh, btw, my batt can't last even 2 days. I don't talk much, maybe 30-40min a day but i play music for about 1 hr, and spend 1-2hrs transferring files with bluetooth. Is that about normal batt life? My old T630 used to last 3-4 days b4 charging but then I only used it to take calls about 30min a day only, and bluetooth is off, since my BT headset spoiled few months ago.  |

Hmm ...... sounds weird, just worried that the dealer might swap the original battery with a fake one, if possible, asked someone to check whether the battery is genuine or not. As far as I know, my K618i gave me a very good standby and talk time and FYI, the battery used for this model is a high capacity one so battery drain shouldn't be a problem.
 QUOTE(PJS @ Nov 24 2006, 08:31 PM) No I didn't play games with it but I do play with the settings, menu and download upload files with bluetooth all day long lah, heheh  Lazy to use USB cable. I suppose if I stop fiddling with the phone the batt can last longer. The MPE software also monitors the phone setting n battery in the background so i think there is bluetooth transmission going on all day while it is connected to my PC. Or maybe I didn't set the Powersave Mode in Bluetooth setting on? Powersave OFF is only needed when we use more than 1 BT device. Is yours On or Off? I just have this nagging suspicion the dealer didn't give me a new battery or the battery is no good.  |

You can probably reduce the bitrates for the video and audio for mp4 and 3gp files. A proper encoder will allow you to do so. I noticed my P900i could play mp4 movies are high bitrates and at 30 fps per second but not so on my K618, I have to reduce the bitrates by half and at 15 fps beceause the movies will play smoothly. Weird, eh? Could it be due to the fact that P900i has a built in processor?
 QUOTE(tutiger @ Nov 25 2006, 12:55 PM) Anyone tried the Video Ringtone? What format is useable? I know MP4 is one, tried 3gp but the phone henged What is the best size for MP4 to make it a smaller, like 3gp? |

Anyway it depends whether yours is an AP or Ori set. AP sets will loose more for sure but my advice, keep it, it's not a bad hp after all, just that the camera is below average but overall, it's a good hp. Don't you agree with me?

Just select K610i, it works for my K618i, I know it's not stated in the Maxis website but I have successfully browse the web and made a few 3G video calls. It's not big deal actually. Don't panic.
 QUOTE(lilzany @ Nov 27 2006, 11:06 PM) Its available. But you have to set it manually though. Just call maxis to email you the word document. And you'll need to go a MASA for a little phone tweaking to work. |

If you K618i is an AP set, try checking default MMS profile, make sure the Maxis MMS profile is selected I have no problems with my hp and yes, you can go to Maxis MASA centres for help or go back to the shop where you bought your hp.

It will switch between 2G and 3G depending on the availability of the signal in the area that you're using your hp. Funny thing Maxis doesn't support Edge, it will be cool if a network has 2G, 2.5G and 3G altogether.
QUOTE(lilzany @ Nov 28 2006, 10:56 PM) it will goes to gsm mode..thats 2G i think since EDGE is 2.5G |

No wor, during the Maxis 3G roadshow recently, they always perli that 3G is 10 times faster than Edge, I doubt that they support Edge, maybe DiGi only. The only silly company to use Edge.
QUOTE(jsnkok @ Nov 29 2006, 12:25 AM) maxis does have 2.5G (EDGE).. it just that k618 doesnt have it.. so it fallback to 2G if the 3G signal is absent |

I think that's not a sms, it's more like a notification after hitting the call / send button. Same here, your 3G command is in process, wait for 2 hours, something like that. Hai ........ After that, nothing happens.

You can toggle the screen size from the options, whether horizontal or vertical. I guess that's what you meant, right?

Nope, didn't face this problem with my hp. By the way, are you using the phone memory or the M2 memory?
QUOTE(lilzany @ Dec 6 2006, 12:20 PM) Each time I save new contacts to my phone, it hangs for a while but if I stored another number immediately after the first, no such problem. The frustrating part is it hangs for 15s which is damn looong. Anyone experiencing the same problem? |

The price always fluctuate, it's normal, sometimes, it might be RM50 cheaper or more expensive depending on demand and supply.
QUOTE(pel @ Dec 6 2006, 05:45 PM) Bougth mine white edition for RM980, a couple weeks ago. But try to look inside the forum under Handphones & Related Accessories. I saw someone selling this phone for RM950. |

I'm a K618i user myself but I'm also getting a K800i. Both are good phones and it depends on what you really need.
QUOTE(lilzany @ Dec 18 2006, 04:12 PM) get the k800i dude. you won't regret it lah. |

Well, she's reliable and trustworthy and I've bought two phones from her so far, one for me, one for my gf. Her prices are reasonable if compared to the shops in Penang and most ori sets have service centres nationwide so it's not an issue if I'm staying in Penang, KL or even in Johor.
 QUOTE(iRonTech @ Dec 27 2006, 12:07 PM) wah...lots of Clareen supporter ya,  |

You wanna get the SE HPM-70 headset izzit? It's around RM43, you can get it from Clareen, just PM here. I'm gonna get that from her next month. That's an original AP headset so it's definitely 100% original of course.
QUOTE(raining again @ Dec 29 2006, 10:35 PM) where can i get the sonyericsson headset if the SE headset is not included in the package ? thanx ^^ |

If you can wait longer, maybe 1 year from now, it might drop until RM600 plus. It's possible and it's pretty normal for hps, the prices keep on dropping like scap metal.
QUOTE(StratOS @ Dec 31 2006, 06:34 PM) the price will only drop is another k-series coming out better than k618 itself.. |
