Thanx for this info! Will try cynetwork.com.my in the future.

Question guys, adding patches and cam drivers won't void the AP warranty, no?


Added on August 13, 2010, 6:49 pmDoes anyone finds it soo freakin' hard to remove the back cover of this phone? laugh.gif  doh.gif

Need to re-insert the battery for updating and modding... cry.gif

Oh yes, this is highly discussed in the internet.
See, this phone supports the conversation style (Threaded messaging), but somehow the one you and I bought hasn't have it by default. (probably because of AP set, dunno really)

To add this feature, you need to use 'A2Uploader' to upload a custom file (It's a custom file created for C905) to tpa/preset/custom.

If you already a pro in modding the SE phones (with A2Uploader or XS++), here is the file you need to enable the chat sms:

(REMEMBER to backup your files ya!)


If you are not used to doing this, perhaps you want to update/upgrade the Firmware first to see if it does helps your situation (not a 100% sure, but worth to give it a try), this one is very easy:

Not yet, still I'm trying to find out does it voids the AP warranty if I flashed, and will I still be eligible for the warranty if I reflash back to default settings when sending back the phone to the distro.. (meaning without the AP guys knows I did fiddle around with the phone  brows.gif )

Yeah, mine comes with Facebook app, Photo Mate, Youtube app, Walk Mate, etc. but without the Threaded conversation feature...

I try to update the other day, but it state that the FW already updated..
I like the R1HA035, it loads things faster than one of my friend's ori C510 bought last year without FW update.  laugh.gif

Now I'm trying to find a mod that improves the camera when taking pics at night, but haven't got the time..only found a mod file that let you set the focus thingy manually, I prefer auto-focus though, less hassle...
Yeah, this phone's camera is a hopeless taking pics in a darken setting, but superb for a 3.2MP when taking in the day time (or lighted and bright setting)
*
i see..i dare not to give myself a try. I just bought this phone at the end of July.
Isn't to have the conversation style instead of normal SMS is better ? what do you thk bro?
somehow the camera it's really not good at all during night time. LOL.. perhaps it can be improves by patching or anything ...

Conversation style is useful if you REALLY ARE making conversations with sms, or else regular sms'ing is something you can live with... biggrin.gif
I find this conversation style most useful when in a negotiation type of dialog like for example, buying stuff from sellers in Garage Sales... nod.gif

But again, threaded sms's are cool, it's like chatting on MSN Messenger, I think all phones should have this feature...

The camera, meh, sometimes it has a mind of it's own, the auto-flashing especially... rclxub.gif

ya..i agree with you..i do hope i got the feature ..hmm..

Oh.. about the auto-flashing. you try to switch it off in the setting. Setting > setting > AF light > OFF
Switch the setting of AF light to OFF under "setting > AF light".
My setting is like this and it will no longer auto flash by it's own although u OFF the flash.

Hope this can helps you yea. icon_rolleyes.gif

Haha...bro, the thing is I want the flash to always ON, auto -flash sometimes decide to not use the flash under semi-bright condition  sweat.gif

Another thing that would help the pic to be not soo dark (when taking pics at night or in dark setup) is the brightness/contrast setting, I think 0.7 is okay for me, 1.0 will make the picture looks spoiled, looks over-contrasted...What about you bro?
*
oh.. *misunderstood*.. haha..
Right.. it will not flash sometimes although it is in low light condition sweat.gif
yup, my setting is either 0.3 or 0.7 too. But sometimes it's still dark. The camera really not good at all taking pic at night. Too bad.


Added on August 18, 2010, 10:07 pmhey bro, i had enabled the conversation style. It works fine on my C510 and it is cool! You should give yourself a try too. But one thing that im not satisfy with is the font size is too big for me =.=

Did you flashed the phone or was it in the phone all these times bro?!  drool.gif
In a perspective, I don't think it the font size that is big, BUT the screen of this phone that is small for this Threaded/conversation sms, although you can mod the font  nod.gif

Anyways, if you did flash it, which software that you use? XS-- or A2Uploader ?  biggrin.gif

I found that actually this feature is always in the phone. Just the latest firmware which is R1HA035 APAC version had disabled it but it has added few more application such as facebook, photo mate and etc. It is disable by default in APAC firmware. For ur information, my phone does not has it as i said in earlier time and i keep asking about how to enable it in this thread. haha

However, i dont think i was "flashed" it. Flash is something like "format" it right? i dont really know what's the meaning of flash. LOL
It just adding another customize file to enable/activate the feature as what you shown me in previous post.
I'm using a2uploader version 3.

It's quite easy actually. Just connect ur phone to the a2uploader and drag a file into tpa/present/custom.
Just an addon i think, because it does not affect all ur files. It will not be deleted after i did it with a2uploader. All contacts and files are still there.
But just backup just in case la bro.


Attached File  Sms_normal_and_threaded.zip ( 1.18k ) Number of downloads: 25


This is the customize file that i had add in my phone. It contains normal sms mode which is the one you are using now and threaded sms.
If you want to enable the threaded sms, just upload the customize file in threaded sms folder into ur phone. To disable it, use the normal sms file.

This is the first time im doing this thingy. rclxub.gif


Good luck bro thumbup.gif

First time already successful?!!  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

Haha, I was worried on the part where all the memory been wiped out, but in your case it seems it didn't.  sweat.gif
Btw, you are already considered flashing the phone since you access the tpa files. biggrin.gif

Thanks for the files and sharing your methods bro, will do this when I'm free  drool.gif

Anyways, do you think that this phone needs to recharge more often than other phones?
I figured out that the 3G signal when enabled is draining the battery a bit, so when I'm not doing any mobile internet'ing, I switch to GSM only, and now the phone needs recharging after more than 4 days... nod.gif

Haha. At first i was using older version of a2uploader and it does not allow me access to the phone.
I downloaded for another version which is version 3 and i did it successfully.

You got the point. I switched to GSM too since i rarely use video call. I searched over the internet and found that the latest version R1Ha035 firmware had decrease the battery life and signal reception compare to previous version. However, it improved the speed of the phone and the camera when saving the photos.
