wow..60-70M is like falling from 2nd/3rd floor of a condo to the ground.

mind to tell us how did it happened?

anyway, would advise you to get the screen repaired @ Authorised SE Centres. as normal shops might used recond spare parts for the repair. not quite sure aout the price though. you can try asking HERE.

regarding answering calls using keypad, i've never tried it before. not sure whether does P1i has this function.

ohh..i see. better be careful next time.

yeah. they do accept AP sets.

it said 'mint condition' right? so should not be any scratches wert. anyway, new one retailing @ RM15XX. if it looks new & comes with another 8 months warranty then should be a good buy for an ori set. if the casing needed to be changed then i don't think its not worth it. rather get a new AP set.

congrats! happy joining the big family..

try get the Capdase leather pouch, sold @ RM108 @ Berjaya Times Square. very elegant & business looking. if it's way over your budget, get the unbranded ones @ Low Yat Plaza, RM30, sold @ handphone accessories wholesale shops. (eg. Gelant)

if you want a casual look, get the Golla pouch, priced @ around RM40, comes with 10 years warranty.

where to get the torchlight & extra notes function?

silicon cases tend to attracts dusts right? when the dusts are trapped in between the spaces of the phone & the case for a long time, they tends to stick on the phone. which then will be hard to remove. experienced it when using both silicon & crystal case. unless you clean 'em frequently.

@fylon
you're welcme, mate. glad to help. enjoy your phone.

@squall_kay,

what extra functions do the new notes have? might need to reflash to make the old one work back? i wanna play around with the torch function but haven't did the system hack yet.

@jcmf,

drop from waist height & no scratches or dents? that's good protection. impressed.

but somehow i still love my P1i naked. can see the brushed metal..elegant.

u seems to take such good care of your phone. good thing.

don't think the pouch that comes with the phone package is really good 'cause the cloth is so thin, plus it can't really cover the phone in full. mine still kept new in the box.

i would really recommend the Golla pouch. although its kinda expensive for a simple phone pouch as most people would go for the pasar malam ones. wanted to get the Capdase pouch at first but feel that since this pouch serves me well, rather save the money to upgrade M2 or something. anyway, here's the photo of it :




it's not hard taking out the phone from the pouch. protects it well since it's larger than the phone itself & it's waterproof. the only thing it lacks is drop-protection as it does not have any sponge.

been using it for almost 3 months & after excessive taking it in & out from pockets, it's still looks new.

hey guys, guess my set have the same problem too. i always clean the phone's screen & sometimes when i press it hard, the LCD will sink. mine is on the bottom left side. is it factory defect or 3 of us are just unlucky? got mine from Telstra AP company.

does your set comes with Chinese strokes on the keypad & there's Shinese wordings on the battery & inner part of the phone? just checked with my friend's set too. he got it from Comsat. has the same defects like ours. so i guess those Chinese sets have this problem, as most suppliers get theirs from China nowadays. unlike earlier batches.

it sounds possible. previous batches of P1i doesn't have this Chinese chars. my manufacturing date is 08W15.
where did u get your P1i from? will try to get a camera to take a photo of the Chinese chars later.

EDIT :

battery manufactured on 07W45. Chinese chars on keypad, battery & sticker @ battery compartment. original CDA is Singapore.

you can try Novacell. have branches @ shopping complexes all over KL. or try Golla stalls @ Midvalley & 1Utama.

sounds kinda serious to me. so the screen is like loose now? tried taking the phone to Aspen service centre?

photos of battery compartment & battery.

kinda sad seeing my set is with Chinese chars. but anyhow, guess all all of 'em are made in China nowadays. as long as it doesn't gives any problem then it's fine for me. i'm loving it for now..

the front plate is full brushed metal, and the back is plastic with metal-look.

HKD1500 = around RM750-800 right? is it a HK or local set? 'cause if its from HK i think u gotta consider the warranty if u're based in M'sia. gotta send it back there if there's any problem or u'll be charged for a fee for repairing it here.

nothing much to have attention to actually, make sure it comes with full set & check the camera green tint issue.

the only thing that bothers me is that those sets with Chinese chars is actually rebranded P1c.

@fylon
something like recond sets maybe? P1i is known as P1c in China. they might have use parts from P1c or totally recond P1c into P1i. 'cause only P1c is available in China. anyway, it's just a thought. might not be true. China may have factories produced P1i with Chinese chars to be exported to other countries. like what i've said, as long as the phone doesn't give us any problem, there's nothing to worried about. i brought up this topic 'cause i'm curious about the origin of our sets since its with Chinese chars.

@Shufflerz
haven't face problem like this before but should be problem with the telco's network. i faced a really weird problem before when using my previous M600i. SMS sent to selected numbers will not be delivered but i can receive SMS from everyone. first i thought it was the phone's problem so i sent it for a firmware update & reflash, but the problem still persist.

i tried went to Maxis centre to replace my sim card but the problem stays. Maxis personnel & myself tried other sim cards on my phone & all of them works like normal. finally, i resorted to changing my number to a new number (i was quite frustrated with the problem). and everything works like normal again. isn't it weird?

EDIT :

faced the same problem like gogoman86 & ben3003 as well. the phone is active but somehow SMS & calls are not coming in until did a restart. but that happened only once.

think the icons are separated from the theme. you can put 'em in a separate folder & customise your icons from there. just like how you always change your icons even without changing the theme.

think if u wanna change the system icons, u gotta do some hacking. like how squall_kay did while installing the G900 icons & themes, which i'm not quite sure how it's done.

wow..nowadays they can detect if the phone has water damage just by looking at a piece of paper?
