maybe you can try to reflash your firmware or change your firmware's CDA? but that is quite risky and might brick your phone. sweat.gif

reflashing the firmware to the same version should be ok i guess. it is just like updating the firmware.

have you tried a Master Reset?

Hi all,

New P990i user.  smile.gif

Phone: CXC162037 R9F011
Bluetooth: CXC162058 R5A01
Organizer: CXC162092 R5A17
CDA: CDA162007/8 R5A16

Dunno, if this is supposed to be the latest firmware or not. Haven't checked yet. Use first lah... as long as it had not died on me yet, I am happy with it.  tongue.gif

Yours is the second latest firmware. I'm using the latest firmware now and it is worse than the older firmware.

If i were you, i wouldn't upgrade. tongue.gif

Hahaha.... thanks for the advice shockk. guess i will keep this version of the firmware for now then. haven't had the phone hanged up on me... yet. If I do a hard reset, the firmware should still be the same right? You have to excuse me because I am still reading at page 35 of this thread.....  shocking.gif  yawn.gif

Sham.

yup. your firmware will still be the same as the firmware rom is still untouched in a master reset. but make sure to backup all your data especially phone book, calendar, etc as the master reset will clear it all.

The P990i was a disaster from the start.

No amount of firmware upgrades can save it.

Well, put it this way, at the current AP prices, the amount of functionality this "disaster phone" can offer is truly amazing. Sure the frustrated early adopters will be fuming at the price they paid for it when it was launched, but cannot deny that at a little below RM1.2k (AP price), there is nothing within range that can beat this phone for functionality (well, not in my view anyway  tongue.gif  )

Meanwhile, I am going to try and enjoy using this phone.  thumbup.gif

Peace brothers, I hope to learn more from you guys.

Sham.

Yeap. The phone's features and functionalities are the best you can find for around the price.

But sadly, the damned bugs and flawed hardware overshadow whatever features or price the phone has going for it, especially Mountguy's constant phone-freeze problem. sweat.gif

P990i the best?? Dun really agree with that after using mine for bout a month. Yea its packed with features and wifi is really a great thing to have but the fact that apps dont close unless it is shut down in the task manager is a real let down. Swiss manager does rectify this but it doesnt when apps are open in flip closed mode, though the "clean up when idle" feature does get the job done but it also closes apps like the music player after a few minutes when no button is pressed  blink.gif 
But with the current AP prices...... gogogogo  rclxms.gif
Or better wait for the P1 if UIQ is still ur thing  thumbup.gif
*
Yeah. Especially so when the P990i has extremely low free memory to run programs. And worst part is, the memory management is so inefficient and ends up restarting the phone and crashing it.

Windows Mobile PDA phones, on the other hand, have a proper memory management system. Even though most of the RAM in WM PDAs is not a lot, you almost always never will have to experience auto-restart or random crashes due to the powerful Windows Mobile OS as compared to the lame UIQ software.

lol. biggrin.gif

reason why i'm still keeping my P990i now is because the UI still looks pretty nice compared to Windows Mobile.
and the little things in life that make things easier with the P990i such as the flip keypad, like having a PDA + Proper Phone in just one device. happy.gif

actually i prefer this phone b'coz of its design....really great among SE phone...somemore it got many application that suit to me...

hmm....about P1
i don like its design also although it come with many application

but i still prefer my P990i

hehhee thumbup.gif

I agree with you about the P1i.

The lack of the flip keypad is a real letdown, although the QWERTY keyboard is much better than P990i's QWERTY.

SE should at least make a P990i-variant of the P1i. Means a P1i with flip keypad.

don't! don't be poisoned by the dark side. brows.gif

but firstly, do you use your p990i for organizing? like calendar, notes, to-do list, etc?

try searching this thread by keying in the words 'cda' into the search box. look at how the some people have done it and the steps taken to do it. if you are looking for chinese s/w, look for the Singapore CDA version.

i used notes quite often..and mswords to for my emcee-ing and event jobs...

sigh...what shud i use?? am thinking of downgrading to k810 or n73 or upgrade to 818pro or Atom Exec
*
if only those are your uses, then the P990i should be enough. i find only the calendar function on WM to be superior to all phone/PDA calendars out there. other than that, other organizer functions on the P990i seem ok to me.

btw, i think it is a really bad idea for anyone who uses a PDA phone to downgrade to a non-PDA phone. xD

Hahaha... don't know about you guys, but I always get the phobia that there will be a power outage or something screw'd up with the internet connection during updating and it is going to brick my phone. So I never have the courage to update my phone's firmware online.

i think the worst case also, the problem can be rectified.

haven't really seen anyone that 100% brick their phone. even if got problem, somehow the phone can be fixed with a reflash. biggrin.gif

Wifi on non-touchscreen phones are completely useless, imho.
If you want decent web-browsing experience, you will need a touchscreen.

can anyone tell me where to get p990 silicon case? cant find it here and lelong.com

saw it in one utama selling for rm35

RM35 at Novacell? That's their normal price which is overpriced. At least their crystal cases are RM10.

Try looking around phone shops for the silicon case. Or buy from Garage Sales here.

Thanks guys. biggrin.gif

I'll check those out. Also seriously considering those PDA pen/stylus combo such as the Capdase ones. Since they are big, should be harder to lose or misplace than the P990i's one. laugh.gif

to all seniors here,i need a help urgent.
yesterday 1 of the senior teached the way to change the CDA so that i can read and write for my P990i.
but until now is over 24hours already the updating software still show 98%.i dun dare to turn off the pc coz i scare will brick the phone
is there any way to save my phone???help!!!!
*
I was in your shoes before. Had some packet-loss in my DSL line, then the update went idle.
I think you have no choice but to restart the flash.

It should not brick your phone la. I've never actually hear anyone bricked their phone that way. Worse come to worst, it will just take a reflash to solve the problem if the phone seems bricked.

mayb you should buy half dozen of the stylus as your spare....
ahhhaa...so you got 6 times to replace it if you DO lost for 6 times....hehe
*
erm.... i thought of that, but crazy la. wanna buy 5 is already like RM125. rclxub.gif
so i'm probably getting the PDA pen by capdase or faber-castell. at least, if i use those as a ink-pen, should be less chance to lose them. icon_question.gif

QUOTE(kysham @ Jul 31 2007, 06:30 PM)
The only way I can think of someone losing ALL 6 stylus is if they buy 6 units, use one of them and store the other 5 units. Then when that 1 unit was lost, they go and look for the other 5 units. But the problem is, they forgot where they put the other 5 units oredi so in the end lost all 6 units!

Hahaha......

lol. you are so right. rclxms.gif
that's a scenario that i've encountered numerous times for other stuff. sleep.gif
