I am a proud new owner of the k618i.
May I know what video format can K618i support?
Anyone having found a seller whom have the crystal case stock? Most of them don't have the model yet

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  icon_rolleyes.gif

I've just ordered a crystal casing with valenlim. Seemed to be the only one with it here. Anyway did u all know the you might have to settle for the V630i (the Vodaphone version of T618i) for searching on the net for themes. like the myV630 site

Anyone knows how to by pass the authorisation for file transfer via bluetooth on a paired PC? (I have enabled always allow BT connection)
Anyone experiencing no sound (once in a while) with a paired handsfree?

BTW, I'm using My Explorer Phone for a better control, includes the SMS and Phonebook feature

Same here only the 3G settings are working but the regular got problem connecting. But I guess it doesn't matter coz I think since 3G GPRS n MMS is working ma...... I heard that when no 3G it will auto-downgrade to 2.5G.

Correct me if I am wrong

p/s: can set it autosync without any notice whenever plug in my pc or connected with bluetooth?

pps: does blogging with blogger possible with the built in feature. or that is US only.

Most of us here are using the MyPhoneExplorer 1.5.4

And ample of themes on The Lasyk V630i site, the K618i is similiar to the Vodaphone V630i

As for blogging, I'll let the sifus handle it

ha ha , you just noticed it? i thought i post some time ago....about this where only the one hole nearest to the camera is the one working...it's just one speaker with three holes at the back of this phone.

Ok, I guessed most ppl misunderstand ur question and kept answering that it is the speakers hole

Naka7a meant the black pinhole, in between the camera and the speaker, next to the mirror button

I do not know either tongue.gif
Anyone care to share

Sorry my bad sad.gif
But still that pinhole is a mystery to me tongue.gif

QUOTE(cloudstrife07 @ Jan 1 2007, 08:21 PM)
yeah, that is so true..sometimes SE users complaining very weak battery life when using 3G becos they bought the AP set, which shops claimed "AP original" batteries.

im not pointing finger at anyone, but some shops n ppl tend to replace the original batteries with fake ones. this has been discussed long ago, refer HERE

im using an SE phone myself, the z610i which was bought original (THORUS distributor) n so far when using 3G talk, theres no significant change in the batt life.

4 days using 3G band, 2 days if heavy sms n 3G-ing(downloading,calling).

Mine is ori and with 3G and BT on all day.... mild calls and SMS, at the end of the day normally I still have a balance of more than 1/2 bar. I charge mine every night

the pinhole should be a mic for video recording?

Now I know, sadly..... my clear casing doen't have an opening for that sad.gif

QUOTE(lilzany @ Jan 2 2007, 09:59 AM)
don't lah charge every night when balance has still more than 1/2 bar left after one day.  it can still last for another day what right? make it 2 night once..

besides, if you charge like that the phone battery calibration meter has a chance to go haywire...by then it won't be able to gauge the battery capacity accurately not something you want cause battery will not be operating at max efficiency...

Well our battery is the Li-Polymer type right?
I got this off another forum
And just wanna share with all forummers here thumbup.gif

Title: Caring for your Battery
Author: Sebby
Description: How to ensure that your battery has the longest possible life and gives the best performance.

Instructions
Initial Charge
When you charge your battery for the first time, it is important to ensure that it fully charges. The phone is fully charged when the red light on the joystick goes out. Whilst many people recommend that you charge for a certain number of hours, this does not apply to Lithium Polymer batteries (such as the one found in the T610). The reason for this is that Lithium Polymer batteries do not trickle charge. This means that once the phone displays that it is charged, it is truly charged, and will not charge further whatsoever.
After Initial Charge
Now that the battery has been fully charged, you must allow it to completely discharge (through normal use - there is no need to discharge it in any other way). By fully discharging, I mean that the phone actually switches itself off. You must repeat the full charge and discharge process a further 2 times, making a total of 3 times. This will ensure that the battery will give the best possible performance in the future.
General Battery Care
There is a perception that the way to care for your battery is to let it fully discharge regularly, but this does not apply to Li-Po batteries, with the exception of the initial 3 charges. This applies to NiMH and NiCD batteries, usually found in older phones. In fact, the best way to care for your T610 battery is to not allow it to fully discharge. In other words, whether you charge it when it is still 3/4 full, or when the low battery warning has been displayed, there is no difference, and this is the best way to ensure that battery stays healthy.


I recharge at every opportunity I can get coz I rather have a fully charged battery than running out of batt tongue.gif

Is there anyway to increase the resolution of the video calls?

I've tried to video call between v3x, n73 & my faithful K618
All video calls are made in a rather close distance and are using the same provider
My problem is only calls to K618 fall drastically in quality compared to the other 2. Initially I thought it was the line problem but the video call between the v3x & n73 was of superb. Thus I conclude that my K618 fall below the par, probably a setting I missed out. Anyone care to share?

Well, if your 3G coverage is poor, the video calls will be laggy and blocky. Of course, one none related problem is the K618i screen is inferior to K800i so no matter what, for video calls, the colours are a little washed out and blur.  sweat.gif
*
Just wanna let you know that we're all calling from the same place so the line is supposed to be the same quality

and the video was blocky on the other phones when video calling with my K618 (even after switching the camera) but was calls were crystal clear between the N73 & v3x cry.gif

Now I wonder should I be getting the Z610 for my missus rclxub.gif

edit
Just got to know from my friend that his K800 also suffer the same poor quality fate sad.gif
