I have a problem with my joystick shortcut. I make changes to the shortcut but it will set back to the default setting when I restart my handphone, EVERYTIME i restart my handphone. Is there anyone having the same problem with me. Is this a software problem?? Just bought it last month

Same to my W850i when just bought it..ya, weird minor issue
Mine was up arrow nav key, how abt urs?

I assigned new short cut to the key, restart phone (after 3 times) then it ok redy.

I did mention. I was one of the first to update. I guess my post earlier was overshadowed by some other topic. Anyway, next time I would post more "attractive" banners, heading so that everyone sees it.

Hmm, honestly, the joystick could still improve but so far so good, depends on how you use it.

The size is ok, N73 is about the same size for similar features phone. functions, sufficient, what you want to use it as? The outlook, well it's subjective.

It's a good buy since the price now is around 1.5k summore. Strongest points are 3G and camera.

Earlier firmware has that bug. What's your firmware? Here's something you could try out.

Set the shortcuts through the settings menu. Off your phone, press the power button once (don't hold it, it will turn off the phone). A menu will appear, shut down, turn on silent, keylock etc will appear.

choose shut down. Once off. Wait awhile and turn it back on. Check whether the shortcut disappears or not. Hope it works for you.

From what I noticed, a shut down and hold power button to turn off phone has different effect. Let's try this and let me know to confirm my theory.

Which firmware are you on? So far, this is the first time i heard of such case. Maybe jus a minor bug that will go away by itself?

what do you mean by restart after 3 times den it's ok? hehe... do you mean after you restart your phone 3 times in a row... den the issue is solve...? my setting of the joystick shortcut wont back to default?

No difference in both way ... but now my joystick shortcut setting stays even I restart it few times... hehe.. I dunno what happen

it was all the direction of the joystick, but the last time I restart it after i read your post, the setting DID NOT back to default... weird huh?

I "assigned new key + turn off the phone" x3 then it works fine redy

hehe... i think the bug get killed by restarting my phone 3 times... thx for all the help

u r welcome, enjoy ur new toy

Hmm guess there is pros and cons in every phone. Can't be perfect.

Maybe i should borrow one from a friend for a day and see how i like it, lol.

I'm a Nokia convert and so far I have no regrets. However, you have to be prepared to spend sometime to get used to it.

As mentioned by someone else before, the keypad requires a little more force to push, but some sau that its a good thing as possibility of keying in the wrong number or alphabet is minimized.

I had to get used to the layout as well, always press the RIGHT softkey and end up getting a warning message if I want to delete the contact or message instead of going Back. Still need to get used to the Back Key!

Another thing I just realised - I was typing an SMS and wanted to insert someone's phone number and I realised I can't do that unlike Nokia where you can access the phone book and insert a phone number.

So what I did was to save the SMS as drafts, exit the Messaging, enter Phone Book and copied the phone number, go back into the Messaging menu, edit the saved message and paste the phone number in there.

Quite a lot of steps, is there a shortcut or am I missing something there? I guess the only way now is that if I know I need to send someone's contact number, I can copy it before I start composing the SMS. But that is still several extra steps, unlike Nokia's where you can enter the contact number while typing the SMS itself.

3 weeks of owning the phone and I'm still learning something new! Its like a puzzle!

Well, for my big hands, this phone fits nicely for me, the screen is bigger and the resolution is a tad better than other models. It's normal for the phone to be longer by a bit because it will be silly to use a smaller screen for a 3G and 3.2 megapixel camera phone, right? The bigger screen is just nice for video calls, have tried making a few video calls and I can say that I was kinda impressed with the video quality, not too shabby in my opinion.



It's true but for minor bugs that don't affect the phone's functionality, I can live with that unlike some Nokia models, when they hangs, you need to remove the battery and restart it. Sheeshhh....... So far, my K800i didn't hang before, not even once. I'm quite happy with it and battery life is acceptable for this power hungry phone.

for me, the design is nice...
the size is ok... not so big and weight...

i also face the same problem where the phone's shortcut tend to back to normal after i restart the phone... but as mention, after a few time restart the phone... its ok..... now, no more problem....

hang??.. my phone just hang after i flash to new firmware, where the video preview make my phone so lag, n hang sometimes, after it hang.... it will automatic restart the phone.... but after change the view mode to list (not thumbnails)... not everythings just perfect...

i also notice that the new frimware fix the F1XX problem... never seen that things after i flash...


didnt u find the speaker phone just too soft for u to do the video call???..
or u used ur bluetooth headset??

on things for sure, the speaker is not that good... seems to crack when put on high volume..

yea i was having the same prob when i first bought it.. but after 2-3 days.. it was back to normal.. the problem nvr appeared again cured by its own.. keke strong antibody

im a nokia convert also.. need to get used to the sms.. but one of the plus i seen so far is that u can save numbers from the sms directly.. not like nokia u got to write down the number sumwhere else first (was using 8310.. mayb later version of nokia could done it also.. duno)

sometimes when i switch the theme... seems that the F4xx comes out more.. but get less after time.. weird haha

alrite, a noob question here..
notice when u slide down the lens cover...theres the lens rite?if the lens like..got lil fingerprints ah..how to clean it?can it be cleaned?? just now look at it under light... saw a few prints...
tolonggg!

who have wotanserver account ? i want to flash my k800i firmware.
pm me the price.

I usually use the scoth brite to clean camera lens.. I guess the usual lens cloth will do.

Finally got my K800i. Stupid posman sent it so late. Hehe. Royale silver (Midland, RM1770 + 64MB)

^just normal lens cloth can adi ah..btw where can i get it ah?can use glasses cloth?
will it affect the pic later on?
btw..gratz on getting ur k800i..enjoy ur new toy

Speaker phone soft meh? Maybe for listening to mp3s but during video calls, it's as loud as a walkie talkie, normally you don't whisper if you're using video calls mah, right? Of course, no privacy lah, imagine if you're bathing half way....... yikes..... ............ censored ........


RM1770??? Midland set? Where did you buy it? Expensive lo ........ I can get it at RM1590 (without M2 64mb) for the Casino Royal one (Midland set of course) and for the M2, I can get a M2 512mb at RM130 (from Transcend 2000) so altogether RM1720 only. Still cheaper by RM50 and yeah, still entitled for the free bluetooh headset (promotion extended till end of this month).
