The camera usage after a firmware update is a little good now .. .It has some 'soft effect'.

the camera works fine in good light conditions

and i dunno why but it takes pictures of my notes pretty nicely too which is a good thing

because got autofocus too

haha ok yeah i guess..my v3xx didnt so..i could never snap things like text and have it readable.

new grey e71 user here..as a newbie i have many question..

1 of them why my e71 keep installing when i switch off and on everytime?

installin wat bro?

i believe u mean "per se" ?

i dunno..it pop up installing and then dissapear...

i believe the installation runs but it is mainly checking if all require software is installed. only the first time switching on will take a long time. then it will be fine. but anyway, normally it won't pop up installation unless it is incomplete the previous time. so maybe u shud jus let it complete the whole process then it shud be fine di.

i guess its normal..i'm having the same thing like yours..no big deal i guess..

normal? no big deal? so i have to bear it

bro, i'm interested to know do you recommend to upgrade the firmware? i'm still using 100.07.76.

Guys, my E71 can only last around 2 days, for normal usage.

Not a lot of call, a little while internet surfing. It that normal? How long does your battery last?

mine last for 3 days..same usage like yours..maybe try to change the network mode from 'dual mode' to 'GSM'..according to some forumer here, it does save a lil bit of battery..and also check whether there's any application running on the background (press and hold the 'home' button for a few seconds)..and as jameslee said on the previous thread, never charged overnight..meaning, once its full, plug out the charger..

a little while of internet surfing + live messenger could last me only 1.5 days.

steel grey E71 here..AP set..anyway my longest standy time is frm 23 dec (tuesday) to 27 dec (saturday)..but very minimal usage..15-20 smses perday n not more than 15mins call overall during tat period..

Mine could last 6-7 days with very minimum usage. 1-3 smses/day and a few mins of talk time perday and very light wifi usage. I only charge the battery when drained to 1 level and stop charging it after full charge. It took me about a month to reach this battery level.

hey guys..gt some questions

1) is it possible to rewind/fast forward videos? *blur*
2) is it possible to eliminate the flash completely cos when i take pictures of my dogs her eyes turn white

With regards to the "everytime restarting you get an installation message".. Thats most likely coz of an unsigned *.sis application you have installed on your device. If you want more info let me know.. I'll see what I could surf up..

Been using the E71 for the past 5/6 months now.. An excellent phone no doubt!

But will also love to know if anyone has any knowhow on the follows:

1) What media players do you use on your E71 to play .FLV and other common files..?
2) is it possible to eliminate the flash completely cos when i take pictures of my dogs her eyes turn white (by julnoel)
