ohhhhhhhhhh. ok ...

its great to know that.
i'm really n00b about this. gonna go read a.p and midland diff
thread.

thx btw.

hey, anyone use any add-on application on your k800i ?

yes, ap!=fake. that's is something people really need to know

checked mine..it matches the box imei no...

thanks guys...

but i still cant get my 3G to work..

did you chnge the settings to gsm and 3g? and also is your sim card 3g enabled?

once i chnage to this phone..

i've changed to 3g sim, activated 3g and received the 3g settings..but still cant work..

I'm just curious lor, why can't the 3G be left untouched, I mean it's faster to send a MMS, download a game or two, surf the net, etc with 3G isn't it? Besides, there are no additional charges for this, it will be the same rates like GPRS since we're not talking about video calls or any value added 3G services. Battery life is not that bad, my 3G is on everyday but the bluetooth is switched off as I only use the bluetooth headset when I'm driving. It's a hassle to carry the bluetooth headset with me, it's like carrying a hearing aid. It's freaking big and bulky.


I guess the K800i flash is not powerful enough for a landscape shot especially when it was shot at night, the flash will not reach even 5 metres so it's possible to take a picture that far with a clear shot. Not an issue with my Canon G7 though but it's not a fair comparison but for close up portrait shots, the flash is good enough even at night.

Well, it's either they put in the wrong box by mistake, happened to me before but the shop was reluctant to get the right box for me, they said that small matter only, why make a big fuss. Secondly, AP sets arrive in Malaysia without boxes because a LYN member selling handphones here (no mention of name here) told me that if I want AP, I need to wait because Comsat only has the phone but without the box so clearly, they're buying the boxes from somewhere. I think it's not much of an issue unless you sell it here second hand, then, you'll get 101 questions from the respective buyers interested in your set because all types of questions will pop out when you wanna sell something second hand here especially a handphone. Sometimes, it's easier to trade it in directly to the shop.

Guess what i saw when i was out midnight on the way home..



was damn surprised to saw it

wow...seriously...
never miss a shot...

lucky your k800's cybershot loads in time...fast enough to 'catch' a ferrari..ha ha

guys... i wondering... what does it mean.. when u guys saying...
"turn on 3g ... turn off 3g .."

3g can turn on and off ka? how?

err . nvm .
just now read the midland/a.p/underwater.

now understand edi.


btw, its not a fake . a.p (approval product) . hehe just noww checked at back (battery area, my IME number @ the sticker is same as on my screen, plus a sirim sticker too)

Settings -> Connectivity -> Mobile Networks -> GSM/3G networks -> Select GSM only to disable 3G.

Uhm, the sirim sticker doesn't mean anything. IMEI number behind the phone matches with the phone information. That's a given.

To determine it is an original distributor set, which is Midland. You will need a Midland sticker and the IMEI number that matches with the sticker at the box. If you dont have these, it's an AP set.

yes i know it's not fake. i think you mistaken the symbol that is used. this is equal to= , and this is not equal to != .

actually, for MMS you wont notice much of a difference.
GPRS data transfer speeds is around 32-48k/s, of cos nowhere as fast as 3G but about same as local broadband.
unless of cos you're sending like a 10mb file, which then if using MMS to send is just plain dumb.
also if not mistaken, websites you surf the images are lower quality so they load faster even with GPRS, again wont notice much of a difference.
you will only really notice it when it comes to streaming video, thats where 3G comes into play...which for me is for streaming TV only...cartoon network ftw

btw, some ppl have said with 3G on their battery only lasts 1 day.
with it off, can last 3 days.

quoting the bolded text, this applies to all Malaysian 3G phones. when i was in Singapore, my 903sh maintained super steady 3G signal, no need to refresh so many times, waste battery only. my friend, a K800i owner, reports the same, he so damn frustated he just use normal GSM only. steady line, no need to waste the phone energy to catch the signal.

too bad dear Maxis and Celcom fail to provide stable service. so, set GSM will do unless you are a heavy 3G user.

because my hand not good enough to hold the phone...
shaky hand man..
twilight landscape, the is no flash fired....

u also need to consider the size of the country...
n how many service provider there...
that why..in sg, the coverage for 3g is good...
malaysia is far big compare to sg...
i bet, if malaysia is big as sg, sure maxis n celcom 3g coverage is good...

now, i wonder, why my midland set that i bought with clareen...
the IMEI not same as box...
she really make me doubt about it...
do i need to change with her to the same box??..
i guess not rite...

there is 1 problem that i also doubt...
my phone 'total time call' seem to be not same as 'call timer' in time & cost...
it seem like it multiply or i dunno what...
because when i first bought the phone...
i used it in less than 1hour... but in total time call seem to be 5hour plus...

now....
call timer = 11:00:21
total call time =49:06:13

why mehh???

uh -oh....you sure it's a new set you bought ?
