thnx DFlo..i took of my crystal casing immediately.
to clarify: 1) disable 3g networks (only use gsm), does it extend batery life? 2) skinning, the plastic skin will eventually peel off (phone looks horrid in the process) will it not? 3) has anyone come up with 'optimal charge' message b4, whats the different compared to 'fully charge'?

Yes. Because the phone will stop searching for 3G network. 2. No. It won't 3. No idea. Never face that before

Is 'Optimal Charge' only available when you've got your USB cable plugged in?

I had that problem before and after I re-flashed the firmware using SEUS, it's all OK again. I think you've been ripped off for that "ribbon faulty" thingy.  Steps you should do now: #1: Get back your phone without doing any repairs first. #2: Flash the firmware yourself. (If yours is an AP set, and can't perform the update, bring it to your nearest authorised SE service centre for the update.) This post has been edited by DFlo: Jan 14 2008, 11:01 PM
