Hi all, saw a promotion Ambank. Sign up for Ambank credit card (annual fee waived for 2 years, plus free for the following years if you perform 12 transactions in a year), and you can purchase original set of P1i with the price RM 1699, on a 24 easy payment plan, interest 0% of course.

i've signed up, therefore looking forward to receive my new P1i before CNY... rclxms.gif icon_idea.gif

btw, also done a recent price check with a guy from digital mall......... current price, rm1450 for ap (with 512 mb card only), rm 1900 for ori.......

Problems & Bugs / FAQ

Known Bugs & Problem :
~Tickbox selection inside application will gone missing if you accidentally pressed and entered other thing.
~ Camera has green tint issue on lower right corner.
~ battery meter showing 98% even when fully charged (fixed in R6F41)
~ Ringtone changed to default when changing to themes with no ringtones attached. (thanks to karlcheong for pointing this out)
~ Arranged software icons inside specific menu would go back to original location if memory stick removed (if the software is installed in memory stick)
~ When a call is ended there will still be a blank dialog box shown and you need to press back again to get back to standby menu

FAQ
Q : Why i couldn't login into some of the hotspot while other just work fine?
A : P1i doesn't not support flash and therefore hotspot login tat is using flash interface will not be useable. also note that if hotspot is operating under Wifi-G only mode, P1i will not be able to connect to the network.

Q : How do i view system information / firmware version?
A : go to main menu > more > system information

Q : how do i access the service menu?
A : by scrolling the jog dial up and down, do the following combination trick : up,*,down,down,*,down,*

Q : How do i calibrate the touch screen like the one in windows mobile?
A : go to Main menu > Control Panel > Other > setup wizard. It is available at the last step.

Q : How do i setup the phone for receiving Gmail?
A : Taken from UIQ3 thread :
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Q : can i enable chinese support without messing the firmware?
A : you can add support to view chinese fonts but not input. read how to enable reading from here : http://secentral.net/forum/index.php?topic=12325.0

Q : Why i'm not able to stream the video from the mobile youtube using wifi but it works fine with 3G?
A : The reason behind this is the port is not forwarded. If you accessing using home network, simply forward the port from the router. Public network currently has no solution yet

Q : What is the different between P1, P1i and P1c
A : There's no such thing as P1. P1i is what we're getting, the i suffix stands for international. P1c is specifically meant for china, with 3G radio taken off due to licensing problem

Q : What is the difference between P1i and W960?
A : They basically share the same hardware structure except W960i comes with 8GB flash memory, memory card slot taken off, pre-installed with Walkman 3.0 software and using normal 0-9 keypad while P1i has QWERTY keyboard, M2 slot and has business card scanner.

Q : Nokia N95 (Symbian S60) versus SE P1i (UIQ3) versus WM6 device, who wins?
A : a very subjective issue and each of them have their own strength. Suggest that visit a proper Nokia/SE/HTC retail store and test them by urself. N95 has weaker battery life (not sure about 8GB version though), no touch screen while P1i is a lil hard to get used to for first timer and slower response time while WM6 is known for strong software library and being expensive

Q : is there any way i can turn my p1i into W960i?
A : the current answer is, no. but there are people working on it

Q : Does P1i support GPS?
A : P1i doesn't have GPS antenna and therefore have to rely on external hardware. Currently the only which has compatible hardware and malaysia map is Garmin. There are other compatible GPS out there but i cant seems to find one with Malaysia map.

Went back to the shop, the boss said ap set some time don't have full accessories, and said i should have check before buy, damn..... vmad.gif

JayC75, make sure you have latest pc suit, try go to control panel and click on bluetooth icon, use window built in bluetooth device to pair your phone, I got my bluetooth dongle work with my phone no reset of my computer anymore. sweat.gif

this is not right!! mad.gif JdOtL, can you reveal the shop name & where is it?let us boycott this shop!! vmad.gif

lame excuse, being a professional dealer, the shop shd open up the box, & show u one by one all the items included in the package before handing over to you.

i know a shop from digital mall who do that everytime i buy phone from them.

if any accessories is short (due to Ap), it's their job to tell u, not "u should have check before buy".....

well, i'm not familiar with digitall mall..elvinyew, how's the phone price there compared to lowyat and sg wang?

i hope we make a list of compatible software/games for P1i. better if we can put it in the 1st page. I want to recommend Assasin's Creed, Prince of Persia Classic and Rayman Raving Rabbids. Full 240x320, nice graphics, and gameplay. and i'm still looking for more. i've tried Picodrive too (Sega Megadrives emulator) with Mortal Kombat3..not bad, just difficulty of mapping out keys (imagine d-pad and 6 buttons on the P1i). it can map out area on the screen too..cool rclxms.gif

Hi Lestat, i think price @ digital mall is still slightly higher than lowyat & sg wang. but it's a choice to be considered for those who don't want to travel all the way down to kl.

i got it from my mom's OCBC credit card promo catalog. RM158 X 12 months installment. valid till March. RHB also having promotion for its credit card holders. cheaper @ RM1699. RM89 first month then RM70 for next 23 months. smile.gif

never know UOB provide the P1i package too. how much is their offer price?

the best place in Penang to get AP sets is Prangin i think. it's not so 'wide-spread' like in KL.  biggrin.gif

EDIT : just checked @ UOB online store. retail @ RM2188. RM186 first month & RM182 for next 11 months. price is kinda steep as compared to other banks. best offer is from RHB bank currently. heard that the offer is till Feb. smile.gif

Hi Teik Wing,

just wanna confirm, is it RHB or Ambank who offers "RM89 first month then RM70 for next 23 months"?
i've just signed up with Ambank with this package, din know RHB got offers the same also

and to all P1i users, can I check with you? does the adapter of M2 come together with the M2 card.
I hope it does cause the adapter is very important to me

yes it can.
lag part i'm not sure as i never tried before.

about flight mode, i turn my phone into flight mode when i took the air asia plane. then i heard the announcement ask the passenger to completely turn off the phone, do not leave them is airplane/flight mode etc.... air asia is so cheap that even a slight battery powered EM interference will crash the plane?

btw, the next software i'm looking is google maps.
i cant seems to get the latest version with location information to work on P1i

yeah, that happened to me too in air asia... it was last year, & i was using w800. i switched to off line mode already.. (using only the walkman mode)... then this flight attendant came to me & tegur me.... a bit not so polite im afraid......i tried to explain to her oso no use..
in the end i had to switch off my phone.... but a bit boh song oso... shakehead.gif

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

ehhhh.... not really.... i called Thorus & was told that the reason they are giving away free bluetooth was bcos they are not giving P1 Choice vouchers anymore.... so, meaning to say, no free software. cry.gif

( hmm.gif wonder if it's true)

i guess, give & take ? sweat.gif

just my 2 cents....

after u select the contacts to SIM, leave it there. Meaning to say, when u close all applications under "Task manager/Open ", dun "End" the Contact. In such way whenever you open Contacts, it will show SIM contacts.

P/s: hving not "End" the Contact won't deplete your battery much. I tried leaving it this way over night. The battery depletion is just normal.

hope the above helps.

a'a, i dont hv any camera cover...so u need to find protector for it..as for me, im using martin fields screen protector which came with camera lens protector also...or perhaps u can use crystal case...nway, holding this p1i in naked form is the best  smile.gif

Errr.... if you cant find for it then i think not a big deal where you can always flash yourself without any problem.
I believe all M2 having the same speed? All are the same, just from different company. Now you can get them quite cheap... 1GB at price of around RM60+ or maybe lesser... not so sure
The contact in the process, that cant be end by just pressing the back button. You will need to end them manually sorry to say. But just that contact running wont slow down your speed a lot, dont worry. Things like application, games will certainly slow down more of your phone speed
*
further to that, from my experience, leaving ur 'contact' open won't drain ur battery much either.
