I tried the WiFi mod. Battery consuming... i think doesn't really affect much. Well, to me, i don't think there's any difference. But for signal, yes. It does improve slightly... not major difference. But yea, i did manage to scan some new wireless signal from my home compare to before modding

-Wifi Mod

-w960 MediaPlayer Mod

-PopUp Menu Mod
-Shortcut Button Mod
-Speed-Up Phone Mod

First of all, mod with care and carefully. What i meant by that?

1. Make sure your battery is full to make sure things is done safely.
2. Do backup if you doubts your way of doing things / you want things to be back as original
3. Do only stuff that you need, to avoid any under performance of your phone
4. Finally, seek for advice before you do anything, or anything goes wrong / not right
** everything can be reset to as original phone, by flashing your phone with the latest firmware again

If you did any of the mod, most people will say it will void your warranty. If you're scared... i advice you not to do it. But i've done so long... everything goes smoothly without any problem. If one day i happen to need to send back for warranty... i will reflash back my firmware then only send. Which means just like a new phone when i just bought.

Others, modding ways and stuff to download can be found here in the forum. Search around, and do more reading before you start off anything ^^

Cheers

Fake? Hmm... imitations housing, the color will get faded or will come off easily after certain period of time. I guess also will be around RM40-RM50+

Not worth changing in my opinion. Stay original unless your original one is already very bad in condition. Else, stay to it. Put on some color silicone casing instead.

New outlook color, makes something different =)

steel2k2, how to solve the 'msg is incomplete' prob?i've been facing this prob 3 times in 5 days.please help.thanx.

Bro, i did not come across with that problem till now. If that error occur when you open your SMS and read, try reading them slowly. Slowly in a sense that, click NO when a SMS comes in. Then, manually click on Messaging, Inbox, then read the message from there. Does the error still appearing?

QUOTE(jenwai @ Oct 3 2008, 10:18 PM)
I don't know did anyone ask this question before.

I was thinking of getting a 2G memory card.

First Question.
I did install a few software in the memory card, can I just simply copy the whole thing to the new card? Will it work as usual?

Second question.
If I wan to put back my old card (for photo taking purpose only), can I just simply take it out without switching off the phone or what should I do. I mean what is the right way to do it?
*
Q1. You can't do that. You need to reinstall all your application/programs in your new memory card
Q2. Yes, you can take in/out of your memory card without needing to turn off your mobile. But, it may take a few minutes for the phone to process the new memory card stuff inside.
**Changing too often, i'm afraid someday, your phone might face problem detecting memory card due to often changing cards. Beware

OMG. Today I went to change my theme. Then P1i halt so I took out the battery and re-insert it and switch on but it won't boot-up the light only blinking on and off. Sh*t.
Is it because I hack too many stuff in it and the ROM corrupted? What should I do? Do think I need to go for the 'cannot start' voodoo do try my luck? or any other alternative way to resurrect my P1i?

I faced that problem on my old Sony phone. Brought to shop, FW problem. So, need to reflash. I do not know how to do myself so, go to send to shop.

But now for your case, i'm not sure whether is it the same problem. If there is no other way, try re-flashing your FW?

What is the latest price for this model?
My friend said can get this model under rm1k, but most of the shop i ask sell this model around rm1020 - rm1050.
BTW, hope can join p1i club soon. smile.gif

Welcome to the Club =)

Pricing, it depends on your location i believe. You might be lucky to get an AP set below 1k... but mostly now selling around 1k-1.1k... around there

what kind of data will back up?

Sony Ericsson PC Suit have a backup application there. Use that to backup your stuff. You have the option to choose which you would like to backup. Easy~ Update more often if you're a heavy modder on your phone =) Anything can goes upside down when you tend to mod a lot ^^

Firmware doesn't matter, you can update that yourself later if you want

Does anyone know if I install a certain program / application to the phone memory, what folder is it?

I've been looking for my Garmin folder (supposedly installed to phone memory) but can't find it.

Interestingly I can find some other folders like DocToGo etc in C:\

You looking for those folder manually for? You can only use explorer like Swiss / X-plorer to view those folder in phone

If you want to delete those folder, i suggest you to go uninstall instead, of deleting the folders manually

If you need to send back for warranty for some problem, i suggest you to re-flash back your FW so it looks original without any mods being made on your phone. Or else, afraid that they will say you did modding on your phone, and your warranty voided.

Make sure when you connect your phone using USB, it is in "PHONE MODE" and not "FILE TRANSFER" mode. It should works, try again~

QUOTE(investor @ Oct 6 2008, 09:51 PM)
Just wondering how you guys backup all the contact? Is it save all the contact to sim cards? Any software to back it up?

Using PC Suit Backup Manager. Easy, connect, and see the settings you want to backup. You can even choose just contacts to backup.

if not mistaken, using google map on P1 will be charged using either 3g or gprs for downloading of the map.

Yes, you need internet access to view those maps. Either GPRS/WiFi is ok~

You can locate where you are once you're connected. I'm using it, not bad~

By original, Singapore FW comes with English->Chinese / Chinese->English Dictionary Software. Which is what i'm using and having right now. Well, since i don't know how to read chinese and uses English most of the time, i installed another Dictionary which gives me English->English whereby it gives me the meaning of the word. Helps a lot =)

Why not? 8GB I'm not sure but 4GB no problem.

What you store? Tons of MP3 files? Wouldn't it be laggy when you opens up your file manager or even your media player?

I believe when you are about to finish up the 4GB memory... your phone will be lag like mad @_@ Which is what i hate the most. Haha
