TIM's logo in the menu or on the set?

some branded sets have difficulty in setting the MMS/GPRS stuff. Some can be solved by master reset and reinstall. Some need to be debranded before successive mms/gprs setting.

You can get the setting from SE website too. That works better to my branded set last time compare to settings from the Telco website.

do you mean, the phone display the "do not remove bla bla bla", even the device is safely removed in windows, if so, it is normal, just plug of the cable. weirdly SE phone do not work perfectly in windows, it display normally as 'you may remove the device' in the phone when you unmount the phone in a Mac.

if unable to remove device safely in windows, make sure all the windows related to the phone is closed, and wait few minutes before trying to remove it again. else just plug it off too, shouldnt be much problem, but make sure there is no activity in the phone.

key in >*<<*<* (right star left left star left star) in standby mode.

ap set? bring it back to ap company and demand a reflash to _apac region firmware.

depends on your personal liking.

you cant make it on all time. but sometime, yes, try press and hold the volume button.

imei diff in phone and warranty card, that is something wrong indeed.

it wont overcharged, dont worry. press the volume button when it is idle (keypad unlock) will bring you into the phone status. battery = 98%-100% indicates complete charge.

though charging via USB wont cross ~ 87%

it is quite scratch resistant actually.

but once it get scratched, it will be more visible / obvious.

just pure coincidental, that they get the blue z610i from tims mobile.

those with tim / vodafone / o2 whatever brand / label they have, means the phones were originally for those telco, but were imported as ap set.

it might be corruping firmwares, initiated by corrupted files.

you will need a clean reflash of firmware.
