guys and gurls... i am not sure if the new firmware available via internet, but no harm trying.

http://my.lgmobile.com/web/web.product.manualSoftwareRF.laf <-- download the software and launch it. (dun worry if it hangs like a minute or two, its like that. just wait)

then in option&help, change the country and language then OK.

then go to customer support and click "start upgrading".

give it a try and let me know. wink.gif

nope not available yet. sad.gif

1) I'm using the v10c.23 firmware and it's never disobeyed me. Seems to happen to some people, but mine is A-okay.

2) Who say cannot? To set the phone to vibrate and ringtones/sms tones under Profiles. Got Normal profile, Silent, Outdoor, all can set. Custom also got.

3) Like any word, you have to write is letter by letter unless I use my stamp chop across the screen.

4) Well the longest mine lasted was 6 days, and I sent about 6-8 SMSes a day plus occasionally I browse the pics. Not bad, eh?

5) Well your price is the lowest, go grab it. I bought mine at the RRP, RM899.

wah how do you get the v10c.23 firmware?

Wah, how much you bought it for? RM800 flat? If less than that I must go to Seaedge for next phone purchase.. that'll be in 3-4 years.

lol. no la. + another RM30.

thanks for the reply. according to the quotes above, it seems someone was having trouble getting the phone to vibrate for sms, and then another replied that 'it's like this'....so i thought it can't laugh.gif

as for the handwriting recognition, i think u misunderstood me. what i meant is that can u write a whole word; write 'hello' on the screen and 'hello' appears as a text? i know most people would write 'h', then pause, then 'e', then pause and so on to get the 'hello' word formed.

and oh, will the screen get less sensitive overtime? biggrin.gif
*
yes you can. but you need to write faster. happy.gif I tried few times before.
less sensitive...mm about that, my cookie is fine. i've been using my cookie for 1 month now and d screen still sensitive.

oh yeah xxx306, you send the phone back to zitron yesterday?

yup! they upgraded my cookie. rclxms.gif
New stuff I've noticed on my upgraded cookie:
>> the ā€œ123 @#*ā€ button on qwerty looks smaller: they have shrink the font. And if I’m not mistaken, when you clicked that button, they used to separate set of keyboard between numbers and symbol. What I meant is once you press it, only numbers shows up. Then you need to press again to make symbols shows up.

>> Black pen (drawing panel): There used to be no black pen in drawing panel. Now they have added it. Thank God.

see? no black pen available.

And I also noticed that they have fixed the gallery problem – so no need to keep on restarting to refresh the gallery.
Now I'm waiting for the reboot/restart problem. Has it been fixed after the upgrade? Wait and see.

now i'm using LG KS360..planning to buy LG Cookies.. is it worth?
the Touch Flo looks a little bit sluggish..

i tried the touch screen and i think the touch screen is not that effective and sensitive compare to lg ks 360..

sorry if i made a wrong assumption..plez do correct me on this matter.

p/s : lg cookies have 3MP and lg KS360 have 2MP .. but ppl said dat ks360 produced decent picture compared to lg cookies..is that true?

previous LG KS360 user here. lasted for a month. so tempted to try cookie.
so I bought it.
about the sensitivity.. i think cookie is more sensitive.. hmm.gif

and yes, LG KS360 picture is waaaayy better than cookie's.

I am in total relief now.. opened the battery cover for first time and saw a Zitron sticker on it.. whew.. warranty covered!

BTW guys did anyone see HWM magazine's front cover this month.. it has LG Cookie in front of it! If you are a proud LG Cookie owner.. get the mag.. it is RM12..

While flicking through the magazine at MPH One Utama, I was SMSing my friend.. then this guy was looking at the cover and my phone, then look at the cover again.. then ask me.. "Walao eh! That phone is the same one on the magazine ar?!"

I was like "Yea.. it is the LG Cookie.." then he ask so many questions.. then another 2 young ladies also looking at my phone and the mag.. also ask me some questions (mainly regarding the low price of the Cookie)..

This is what you call.. 30 Seconds of Fame! Bring your Cookie to your nearest bookstore and you may get temporary fame.. tongue.gif

eh you never open the battery cover before? blink.gif

lol. so funny. i think i saw the mag before. picked it up and flipped few pages.
not tempted to buy tho. haha.

typed "KP500AT" in google and found many firmware versions uploaded by "Smartkey", ranging from v10a till v10N. anyone game enough to give v10N a try? biggrin.gif

i will try later if i dare enough. brows.gif
wait for few feedback first from the cookie owners who flashed their cookie.
if nothing really changed from previous version, i dont want to take the risk. tongue.gif

Guys, do you experience short language character change at any time using this phone?

My dad's KP500 - whenever he deletes a call history, the character changes (from English to Chinese character) only during the deletion process . I think it's some sort of a glitch. I already tried setting the language from "Automatic" to "English", and it still remains the same.

Other than that, the phone is great. No reset/restart problems encountered so far. My dad bought it during second day of Chinese New Year at LowYat Plaza for RM320 (only comes with 1GB micro-SD, no bluetooth handsfree). He's really enjoying it. Big screen and buttons for large fingers.

hmmm. never deleted my call history before.. so never experience tht kind of problem.

RM320 only?!! shocking.gif

there's a restart problem...or rather a switch-off-by-itself problem. it's quite troublesome to spend time to send for repair every now and then (initially we had a short-battery-life problem, resolved by changing to another battery at the dealer)..

other than that, it works fine as a phone

you can simply send it back to zitron or upgrade it yourself to v10n firmware.
