well 3G simcard eat lots of juice ... last time i use it on a 1yr + old mini and after 15 min the batt will go out ...

yes switching to 2G is better or u can juz tweak the cpu to be slower to conserve

My today screen is not using resco plugin or phone alarm one ... i use the modded HTC home screen ...

sad to say i dont use win live ... since i only use the wifi when syncing my email only ...

oh..modded HTC home screen ar..where can I download da plugin?

yeah, juz found da main cause of my problem. Its due to the chinese font patch (3rd party software) which I install in the zinc.

I saw a thread saying dat windows live messenger is sensitive to chinese font softwares which can corrupt it during connectivity. So i uninstall da chinese font software. Now ok liao..

One more thing, where can I adjust the headset volume. I use the zinc's headset, the headset speaker quite low lor..kenot hear...

Thx for da help man...

hi guys ..

just wanna share with you guys that you must have official purchase receipt for the warranty to be effective for 12 months otherwise the warranty period would based on the manufacturing date only.

so please remember to demand for an official receipt.

regards,

sam

u can get the modded plugin at xda-developers forum ... search for 5 tab htc home plugin ...

yup true u need a receipt or else it is frm the manufacturing date

sorry nitsujyuen,
we've been trying to figure out where that registry lies for years to no avail

hey kerazul

which registry u refering to ? volume? hehehe. me kinda blur ...

The headset does have a level adjuster (volume slider) near the o2 dongle, maybe you forgot to adjust that higher?

yeah... I mean registry tweaking. Last time when I was still using Palm OS, the volume can tweak. Tweak till blow the speaker. hahaha...

Maybe it's a good thing.

thx Haruji Sora for the info, the volume issue is settle..just hard-reset it then everything back to normal. Duno why..hehe

kerazul, PALM OS got dis kind of prob? My fren is using his 650, he is very satisfied wit it. Just dat no WIFI oni..hehe

hi guys ..

one quick question.

how do i download maps and make my zinc gps enable? since i already have a Holux gps receiver.

what should i do? kindly advice .. step by step if possible.

and what is the external gps program in zinc? how do i use it?

thanks

sam

No no no... I didn't mean that the Palm devices have this problem. I meant to say that we still dunno how to tweak the windows mobile to increase its volume.

the only device we ever managed to was only the PalmOS devices.

Install mapking or garmin software on zinc. As for me, I am using mapking.
Download maps at www.malsingmaps.com ... use mapking or garmin maps.
Enable ur bluetooth in zinc & on ur holux (make sure the blue led is blinking)
Search bluetooth device on zinc & sync wz holux
After discovering holux, open ur mapking
Click on map on the menu at tools, Open Map.. choose ur map
Click on GPS and let zinc & holux sync ... when sync a voice will come out saying "GPS is now fuctioning"
Choose ur destination ... tap on the top of mapking.

That really depends on whether u wanna use Garmin, Mapking or Imap. Personally, I would recommend Imap as their POI's and roads are more updated than Mapking. But in terms of detail, those fellas from Malsingmap win hands down.

if ur a beginner, it's better if u go with Mapking or Imap. No need to do so many steps like in Garmin.

the fella at malsing deserved 2 thumbs up .. always up2date ...

yeah man... that's wat u get when u have enthusiats running the show

Hurmm..i think when the 3G connection is always on withour Zinc, it drains the battery a bit. Like your good self, my 3G connection is always on and my normal b.k.m is to have have it charged at the office (i know it's bad but I always leave my Zinc connected to the charger until after office hour).

I did not do any real observation with my battery consumption rate but from my previous experience with my N70, i know for sure that our batteries are working extra hard whilst connected to the 3G network. The one thing that I'm sure is that the battery that comes with our set needs at least 3 to 4 times of charging cycle before it will reach it's optimum capacity.

For the sake of comparison, i am going to fully charge my set before going to the office and not charge it at all tomorrow. I'll post back the consumption rate tomorrow night and maybe we can compare...

by the way, there's a firmware upgrade on O2's website. Is WWE_RM3070712 a new version and are you guys running your Zinc's on it??

hi guys ..

have you guys tried upgrade your firmware and from wm5 to wm6 by yourself? is it easy to do it ourselves?

i am staying quite far away from times square, so if it is easy, i was thinking of doing it myself .. what do you guys think?

its easy....download and just follow instruction...make sure ur zinc fully charge and try to close all the running programs except active sync prior to upgrade....

i am wondering whether could zinc work with the business card scanner software .. like asus p525 .. we capture a picture of the name card and it would translate them into our contact list. Do you think zinc could do this?

Update is easy
juz dload frm seeo2.com then follow instruction also in seeo2.com

been doing it myself since day 1 of new firmware

dunno bout that ... i think wzout 3rd party sw zinc cannot do that
