anyone face the problem where you can't receive SMSes and when you reset your phone and turn it on only the SMSes are received?

it's like the message was sent by sender at 10AM but i didn't receive it that time, reset my phone at 7PM then only received it.

it happened to me, although certain SMSes only. any solution to that?

EDIT : similar problems were brought up in the V3 thread. anyway, it's been days since the problem pops up. hope it'll get rid of itself soon.

i am a fan of p1i and i'm thinking of buying it.please give me tips on the price, whether it's ok to buy the AP set or ori and the specs. i would appreciate if u tell me the best place to buy hp, or at least reliable should anything goes wrong with the phone.thank you.
*
AP sets should be around RM1K or less now. original sets still retails around RM1.4K. it's okay to get an AP set as long as you get it from a reputable AP company such as BBS, Telstra, Pacific, Asia Mobile etc as the warranty coverage is almost the same now, the only difference would sometimes be the service.

get it from out online sellers here. they offer quite a competitive price and good services. try to PM sellers like Renee, she has a good track record. smile.gif

ic... thanks for sharing..
BTw, wat is the latest price for this model? At my place, for AP, cheapest is RM9xx, but Renee sell at RM10xx (include postage less than RM1100). Is it cause of different AP company?
*
the range of RM980 to RM1030. yes, might be the difference on AP company hence the warranty period maybe. smile.gif

so far, i have been using my p1 without any screen protector/casing/etc and no scratches.
but then, the screen easily get blur due to the oil from my cheek.
anyone got a good suggestion on how to make the screen clean clean? i try wiping wif clothes/etc.. but will still feel a bit of oil left lor..
*
crystal casing is bad for any phones. i've used it on my old phone & seriously if you hardly clean your phone from dust, they tend to stick there forever after that, no matter how hard you tried to clean it. so far Golla casing is the best. it might be quite troublesome at first when you have to take the phone out & all everytime you wanna use it but you will get use to it after some time. it's 100% waterproof too. loving it with my P1i. smile.gif

anyway, silicone case is not abd too but still, dust tends to stick at the phone.

the best way is to wipe your phone's screen every night before you go to sleep, that's what i did. that's the problem with touchscreen, the screen are very prone to fingerprints & oily stains. biggrin.gif

planning to mod my phone to Walkman 3.0 later, anything i should be aware off before doing that? just follow the instructions on the first page right?

The "private" folder can be overwritten but I suggest you move the content manually for the other folders. Basically means copy each content inside the Walkmanpack into your phone's C:\ drive.

so i overwrite the private folder but for other folders like resource, shared and sys i gotta copy those files inside those folders manually to C:\? blink.gif

eg. sys folder itself got folders such as bin and hash, i just copy both of the folders to the sys in C:\ or the contents of bin & hash?

yea, i got this almost the same problem. i sent some sms to my friends, then i waited for thir reply. almost 30 mnutes, no reply, so i checked the sms inbox, then i go to outbox folder. the sms still in queue but the fon dont send it. i restart the fon then all the queue sms were sent...

i think, the one that u encountered not bcoz of the phne but mybe the network prob. just my 02 cents

yeah. faced this problem couple of times too. same situation gotta reinsert the battery to restart the phone, then start receiving SMSes. i guess it's the phone messaging app. i'm on maxis, or is it the network's problem? it hardly happen though. blink.gif

Yup...me too. Agree on that. Was thinking of replacing my P1 with the X1 but I think its way too overpriced at Rm3199. No going to make the same mistake by being a test pilot like I did for all the P series phone. Anyway, heard there's still a lot of bugs with the X1 so have to put my plans on hold.
Did S.E come out with a solution for the camera green tint problem we are faced with?
*
none for now. but i really really hope they will. it's already been such an all-rounder phone. just the camera is abit of disappointment. yeah, X1 is really tempting. might be my next upgrade. but the price gotta go down first. biggrin.gif

They have stopped developement for future FW upgrades for the P1. Though we can say the software is quite stable....but still they have yet to solve the green tint issue. I guess that the green tint bug is more or less hardware related. Thats why S.E have yet to find a solution to it.
For all the P series phones I've used, I've been most dissapointed with the P1's depreciation value. The phone dropped its price so fast that it costs about RM1k now compared to Rm2k++ phone. I must say that for a phone with this kind of features, its a very good buy but it really annoys the earlier buyers of this phone. So for the Rm3199 X1 right now....all I can say is wait...wait and wait. The price should be coming down pretty fast as there are too many competitors on the market for WM mobiles. Right now the X1 is being overhyped with dealers claiming low supply for the phone to keep the prices up. Another thing is that there is no point going for the phone now and being a 'test pilot' for the FW and then when most of it has been solved, the prices slides down.
*
might be hardware related but some claimed that the green tint is less visible with FW updates. well, what i can say about it depreciation value is it's quite normal. it was out July' 07 with price of RM1.7K for AP and now in Dec '08, it's around RM950-1k range. merely around RM700 depreciation over the period of one year plus. sounds reasonable right? merely RM45 depreciation per month. ori sets should be around that range too. since it's RM2.3K when release & RM1.4K now.

but SE phones always have the tendency of fast depreciation. just take C902 for example. it's almost the same price with P1i currently, which was launched less than 6 months ago at RM1.5K. sweat.gif

you're right about X1. that's why i'm still waiting patiently. smile.gif

thx for the tips.i already done all i need to do but still can't play youtube video.i already follow steps from 1st post.do i need do other settings?please help
*
have u installed CorePlayer 1.2.5?

CorePlayer 1.2.5

install that & browse YouTube thru that application.

but before that, you need to set some settings on your router. (only do this if you still can't view YouTube after installing CorePlayer)

1. Go to your router settings page. (usually is 192.168.1.1)
2. Go to Services or any category till you found one named 'DMZ' or Demilitarized Zone.
3. Enable it & key in the IP address of your P1i. (can be found when connected to WiFi, go to WLAN in your phone & click MORE)
4. Restart router
5. DONE!

power of Google. mine works like a charm now. smile.gif

hmm..that's weird. i just did mine straight after you posted & it's working perfectly now. hmm.gif

is the version you installed is the latest 1.2.5 version? IINM, only the latest version supports watching videos straight off YouTube.

once you're in CorePlayer, click on the YouTube link below (bottom right of screen) & then you'll see a the categories of videos in YouTube such as Most Discussed, Top Rated, Favorites, Most Viewed etc.

or go below again where you can see a search bar, where you search for the videos you wanted.

hope you get what i mean. smile.gif

I am facing some problem when I use this phone.

My problem are some msg I cannot delete or view,once view,it will automatically appear 'corrupt'.

This problem started when maxis send me a MMS, then I choose ' NO' so that i view it later. Then when I want to view it by touch the icon top of the screen, it appear 'corrupt '. Then my inbox totally cannot view, once view,appear 'corrupt'. after tat I ask my bro send me many sms so that can open my inbox. Now my inbox i can view it, but some my previous msg I cannot view or delete, once I scroll down the inbox, appear 'corrupt' again.

2day I am facing another problem. 2day I am sitting an exam. The vigilator ask us to switch off our phone. after the exam, I switch it on, I receive 2 messages during the phone switch off, then I can open 1 message onli,from my frien,not from maxis, the other new message I cannot open and check sent by who,now top on the screen there got a message icon. Once I touch tat icon,it automatically jump to my inbox and I dont see any new message.

I really dunno what happened to my phone.Need help dude.....

Thanks.

it appears that Message app memory might be corrupted. i've had quite similar problem like yours when i just switched on my phone & there's are messages from my contacts. tap 'em but can't view 'em. but once i've used Swiss Manager Pro to end the Message task, then i'm able to view the messages.

not sure how to solve the problem you're facing. blush.gif

offtopic : i have exam too today, which uni you're from? smile.gif

kindly refer to the first page on further instructions on how to enable Chinese characters input/viewing. FYI, you can't download the language. if you just wanna read (not type) Chinese, you just gotta replace your phone's fonts with Chinese fonts.
