too bad i not yet migrate to vista for now

This is due to a loose battery cover. The phone is designed such that it turns off automatically when you open the cover.

To fix: Open the cover, and put some tape or cardboard to hold the switch in place.

Went to the service centre at Imbi and the fella confidently told me it was a motherboard issue without even checking my phone. Fingers crossed the tape I inserted will solve my woes. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated

Thanks for the info. Found it. The switch is located on the top right corner when u flip the phone over.
Hope this will stop my PDA hanging problem.

Sorry can not help u there on the vista/bluetooth problem cos I am still using the more stable XP Os.

Thanks a lot once again.

Be careful guys. I inserted some tape to hold down the switch and this sorta broke the switch. Worst part is the switch is connected to the motherboard. My phone is now collecting dust in the Asus Service Centre. They don't have motherboard stock for another month so whatever you do, don't break it now. Sigh.

Broken ..did u mean that it came off? or
It refuse to go down like stuck?

Nope broken as in depressed. It doesn't spring back up again. Anyway, couldn't turn on the phone. Life is crappy without the P535.

anyone bought replacement battrey cover b4? On ebay I seen b4 got one fella in Germany selling the entire casing..

My garmin que works fine in my p535 but lately I did not get any sound or voice guidance.

What could be the problem?

My PDA hangs at least once a week and I have to reset the darn thing. It hangs as and when it wants to. I could be just looking at my sms inbox, and when I click on a message to read it, it will hang. There is no confirmed action that will make it hang. It will just hang randomly. Checked Asus website and no new firmware yet. Anybody has a fix?

My stab in the dark would be software conflict. Oh and I received a call from the service centre. I'm getting back my phone tomorrow. They said the new motherboard comes standard with WM6 firmware. Don't know if it's a good thing. Anyone has grouses about WM6? Please share.

i think u still able to use ur spb backup which u backup under wm5...

my p535 which i bought 6 months ago come with wm6 edi...now i just upgraded it to wm6.1~

oh 6.1 ? official from asus or an unofficial one ?

As far as I know you can't use your backup made by different version of WM. It become usable in the new version of WM.

unofficial ..they ported it from HTC~..haha.

but so far so good...dun have any problem yet..but i not yet test my gps still working or not..

Shit I am sooo screwed. Can anyone think of how i can retrieve my SPB backup file?

if you only backed up your PIM and not the entire system it should be able to port back to wm6.. you may need a good friend with WM5 set..

1) Backup his system & PIM
2) Install your backup
2) Backup your pim only

just an idea..

Well if you PDA now has WM6 firmware.. you can try your PIM backup and see what happens.. worst case just hard reset

bump in to say HI, long time didnt check this thread...
i still not yet reformat my p535 since i bought from PDA expert..lazy to do it...hehe
but will do it...SOON...cya

Why do u need to reformat your pda?

Thanks for all the input guys! It worked!

well, if u have installed a whole lot of junk to 'try' out - u'ld be reformatting / starting over a lot ... done it 3x already since i got the phone ...
