hi, i have a very stupid question here, as i m noob in this areas, and willing to try out this p1i, can this phone install messenger which support msn, so i can msn via wifi, and do this phone support microsoft office?...

sorry really noob here tongue.gif
*
There are software that can support not only msn, but also yahoo, skype, google talk and icq. eg Fring (most popular), eBuddy, EQO

This phone does not support microsoft office, but it have Quickoffice which can open and edit microsoft office file (word, excel, powerpoint) If want more powerful tools then use Document To Go

If u r talking about the shortcut icons in the standby menu, then its easy, copy the icons (PNG or JPG) from PC to M2, select the icon by scrolling with the jogdial, select more>edit>shortcut icon>Browse....there u have it

hrms.. was wondering if there are any other programs for P1i to backup files in the PC?
my fren uses this program for his W800i... can back up sms and view them all in the pC... but its not compatible with P1i... >.<
*
Too bad My Phone Explorer cant support P1, otherwise it would be great. Anyway if you intend to backup sms and view it on pc, you can try this software call SMS Diary; this software capture all sms and save it into html format, it even sort it according to name and date with a Table of content! Nice ha. Copy the html file to PC and you'll be able to view it.

You can download a trial version from here

Hello everyone,

Planning to get this P1i, just one question, can I transfer my contacts from N73 to P1i from .vcf files that I have backup ? A lot of my contacts have multiple phone and mobile numbers.

Thanks in advance.
*
Two methods I use to transfer contact from Nokia phone to SE :

1) Use bluetooth transfer 1 by 1, if got 100 contacts, you will transfer like no tomorrow rclxub.gif
2) Sync to Ms Outlook and use SE PC Suite to sync back to P1i, thats easy and fast, after transfered, each of my P1i contact show double name (ie Paul Paul, Phua Phua), dont know for what reason.

hello...

JdotL - I really suggest that you try doing the backup of your hp on another pc.. then u would know if its your system or your phone causing the problem...

anyways~!!! does anyone know where i can get games for P1i?? i downloaded some games.. but doesnt work with the touch screen.. some requires arrow buttons... which there isnt any.... >.<

www.mobile9.com

Press Alt twice and it will turn 2, 4, 8, 6 into arrow key.

Thanks guy for the input, i will try on my notebook, at the moment updated my firmware to the latest from my notebook, have not install the pc suit on my notebook yet, but so far i think is my pc causing the problem, damn, my nokia pc suit have no problem at all, SE is really week in software support.

Introduce a freeware money management program for you all, i like this software, being using it since i got the symbian phone. Can open multiple account.

http://www.freepoc.org/viewapp.php?id=6

Update;

Successfully backup my phone using pc suite on my notebook, and no more disconnect-reset, looks like need to reformat my pc oledi... sweat.gif
*
Another way of backup your phone's contact, calender and task is by using P1 internal backup

example, select calender > More > Calender manager > backup

Im also having the same problem. I using Compaq. But is find for me as I dont really connect using bluetooth. Cable is better still.

Maybe is the compatibility issue of the bluetooth or conflict with internal bluetooth software ??

PROUD OWNER OF A P1i TODAY! rclxms.gif

but unfortunately im not as smart as i thought i was, cause i cant seem to install the latest firmware! Or so i think i cant.

I followed all the instuctions, the dragged the file over to my phone, where it says Exchange ActiveSync Ver. 2.13 then i tried to install it.

Then this pops out:

Installation aborted. Push email is already installed on on this device. You will need to uninstall this application in order to continue.

HELP?
cry.gif  EXTREME NOOB ALERT!

If you are trying to install latest firmware, you need to install sony ericsson update service from sonyericsson website. Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) is push mail software. If your phone is preloaded with Blackberry then you cant install EAS, uninstall blackberry first then only install EAS

see that that lil 3 boxes, below the back button, i'm assuming some of you have them too, just wondering if there is anyway i can get rid of that! it's annoying me! it keeps appearing almost everywhere and i have to close it all the time.


Do this : Control Panel > Device > Text Input > Handwriting > Input Method choose None. The the 3 boxes will be gone

For MMS, check this : Control Panel > Messaging > MMS account > Make sure the internet account is selected your 3G WAP account

For connection to internet, check this : Control Panel > Connections > Internet accounts >Choose tab "Groups" > Select internet & click edit > see whether there is 3G WAP.

p1iers... have you guys ever had a problem when editing your contacts?

say u want to add an extra number to your contact...
but ever SINGLE TIME you have to press the ALT button so that it'll change to the numeric keys... IRRITATING!?
doesnt the phone know that it's suppose to be numbers and not letters?

any solutions? it doesnt happen all the time thou, but MOST of the time.
Plus, i cant seem to find my on-screen keyboard, if i were to activate it, all that appears is that chinese character 3 boxes thingy

HELP!  icon_question.gif  rclxub.gif  cry.gif

Aiya u should read first page post#5 Tips and Tricks : Press Alt twice and it will turn to numeric keypad (thinks to fx_53_xt for his hard work)

You need to on the on screen keyboard : in Text Input > On-screen keyboard > Input method > choose Chinese virtual keyboard.
Dont worry the 3 boxes wont appear if you didnt on the handwriting & keyboard. Look for the keyboard icon on top right whenever you want to type.

oh... i meant when you are using the qwerty keys to type instead of the on-screen keyboard

While you are typing, look at top centre, there is a box icon showing "Aa" means alpha mode, now if you press Alt one time, it will turn to "12" means one time numeric mode, press again it will turn to "123" means numeric mode.

Get it...

IMO, you don't get me.

I know there is a box icon showing "Aa" or "123"...

BUT while i am typing... it only appears if i turn on and use the ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD.
IF I WERE TO TYPE WITHOUT THE ON-SCREEN KEYBOARD, (meaning with the qwerty keypad)

IT DOES NOT APPEAR.

Get it...?
*
Are you saying that the on-screen keyboard does not pop out automatically each time you are typing. You want the P1 to show the on-screen keyboard each time you are typing (irrespective of whether you are using on-screen keyboard or qwerty keypad). Right ?

If that is the case, sorry I cant seen to find any of these function yet. Probably 3rd party software can do it

Questions:

1. Why everytime I restarted my phone, my format of date and time will change back to default.
* e.g : My setting is 24 hours view and dd/mm/yyyy. After I restart my phone, it will change back to AM PM view, and yy/mm/dd.

2. Sometime when I activate my camera function, it will stop at the "Initialing Press 0 for Help" screen there. After that, my camera will not be functioning, until I restart the phone.

3. How to un-assign the desktop icons? Mean like I've already assigned a few of them, but I don't want it now, can I do that?
*
1. This is the firmware bug. Upgrade to newer firmware or re-install the firmware one more time, it will correct after that.

2. Didnt come across that

3. Cant un-assign / undo. Can only replace

You can do this : Select the triangle for the top left corner > volume > adjust the volume level of ringtone and message to zero.

Just remember to adjust it back when u wait up brows.gif

This is my quick review on new firmware R6G04 for CDA 95 (Singapore Chinese) :

Apart from what had been discovered for GW1 ie :

~ Calendar Day View now comes in half-hour interval
~ USB charging option and USB Display on connection option is now moved to "more" menu
~ Improved overall speed
~ Much faster camera focusing speed
~ Camera focusing interface now comes with a center square bracket to let you know where you are focusing.
~ Camera focus status icon will not refresh immediately if focusing mode is changed using shortcut key (4).

Notice the following :

~ Previously during text entering the three box which show 中 and 英; now has been change to 中 and En
~ The irritating black triangle on center right of the screen on some menu has been change to transparent
~ Fixed these problem "Arranged software icons inside specific menu would go back to original location if memory stick removed (if the software is installed in memory stick)"
