in case that idea really come across ur mind, do let me know
i'll get u a dummy set for u to crush
in exchange, u'll gimme ur p1i

wow, classic one.
first phone since SONY and Ericsson merged
first mass production consumer COLOR screen phone available in malaysia if i'm not mistaken.
first phone that has a camera, although its external one

damn, back then these 256 and 4096 colors screen were so advanced.

you were quoted for how much?
imho, there's better AP deal out there that offer a lil bit longer warranty on LCD. try browse through the sales thread in garage sales. imho, by browsing there you can get a rough idea what is the best they could offer out there in the shop.

can you quote your new CDA now?
because ur previous CDA /66 is UK O2 branded set and it should never has any chinese input by default.
it might be the shop who added up the input system for you and upgrading the firmware using CDA 66 will definitely kill of the chinese input.

post more details about ur current firmware/CDA version so we can know more about ur phone

your firmware upgrade is not successful, you're still in /66 CDA
if u've successfully gotten the s'pore firmwre ur CDA should be /95
redo the whole process of the step by step guide again, if u need any help, just ask here or pm/msn me.

okay, rule of thumb, never disconnect your phone during a flashing session. if you do that you might as well throw away the phone.
since u are able to flash to GW1, i suspect that you have mistaken something during loading the CDA95 script into the phone.
you have to download the CDA95.zip, unzip it into .txt file, then load it from XS++ and RUN it.

as for the turn off part, after XS++ says disconnect the phone, you just simply disconnect the USB cable and unplug the battery.

there's no difference in firmware version for SG /95 and GW /1 firmware as for now
they are both the same R6G04 for PDA firmware and R9K for phone communication

sadly, p1i lack of this setting

bro, there's some misleading info here.

generally the reachargeable batteries for mobile devices out there is divided into two main categories : Lithium based and Nickel based.

Nickel Based :
~Most of the time comes in Nickel Metal Hydride forms (NiMH).
~This kind of battery has memory effect. which means the optimum capacity will only be achieved if you fully charge it everytime and ,or else the crystal build up will shorten the battery capacity and lifetime drastically.
~Overcharging is very damaging but most of the modern charger comes with charging protection circuit
~Fast charging
~low energy density

Lithium Based :
~mostly comes in Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) or Lithium Polymer.
~Do not have memory effect
~Fully depleted charging is not encouraged as it SHORTEN the battery life.
~random charging DOES NOT affect battery performance as opposed to Nickel based batteries
~Battery meter will become unaccurate after some time of usage. To eliminate the battery meter problem, completely discharge the battery and charge it to full again. As completely discharging is not encouraged as it might reduce battery life, it is often recommended that you do this once every few months to keep the battery meter reading correct.
~slow charging
~high energy density

And since our P1i comes with Lithium Polymer battery, we should adhere to the Lithium Battery's respond, completely discharging everytime is not recommended

just press c and connect the USB cable only, no need to switch the phone on

full charge when u see ur phone showing battery is full. there's no fixed timing as different capacity battery and charger gives different results

here's a lil guideline taken from www.batteryuniversity.com of how to maintain your batteries

http://www.fring.com/download/

download, connect ur phone and double click

yup, singapore has now updated to R6G as well.
welcome !

it is especially strong when fully charge.
my battery only dropped to 96 % from 100% for 12hours

i at first thought something wrong with the reading.lol

after u hold the C button and connect ur USB cable, ur phone should be flicker a blue screen for like a second, then you will see SEUS ask you to release the C button and then you can click next and proceed. the phone will remain as blank during the whole process.

at least mine one is like this

i once flashed my firmware when my battery was around 20% cuz i thought by connecting using the dock, it would charge my phone since the charger is connected but apparently i'm wrong and my phone did not get charged but nothing went wrong anyway.

so my assumption was battery level has nothing to do with the flashing procedure but you must at least maintain enough battery power to run the phone through the flashing.

the updating would take around 20 to 40 minutes depending on your connection speed.

and if it shows Singapore APAC, then you're getting the chinese firmware.
if it shows Singapore Latin, then you're getting the english firmware

there's no definite way of how to check a phone whether it is used or not.
a few basic steps would be check and see if the phone got sms sent, photo captured or non factory default software installed, then check for physical damage and finally, check the IMEI behind the phone to match the *#06# IMEI.

because most of the time AP set wont have matched IMEI of box and set, but the IMEI of the sticker behind the phone should match with the phone itself or else most probably the phone is tampered.

as of the phone info and sirim sticker, they do exist. during my 2 years experience of dealing with mobile phones, i've seen numerous of those sticker, comes in bulk like your kid's regular sticker album

latest is R6G04
check and see if it is released for ur CDA

i never succeed in getting my p1i as modem.
i'm confused on how to set it up via win XP

it can store so freaking a lot in fact everytime before i re-flash my phone, the phone records from months ago still exist

go to more, switch to extended mode.
then highlight the one u wanna delete and select more->edit->delete entry

did u update through SEUS?

yes, you have virtually unlimited entry as u can add ur own custom field

wow, congrats. that's really a good deal.
btw, i have no idea with the excel as most of the time i only use it to view documents but not edit.
even viewing on such small screen is a pain in the ass

have no worries about those free software.
i will trade my p1 choice voucher over DS970 anytime
