Sigh, has anybody tried utilizing the Wayfinder Navigator yet? Can't seem to get the maps to be downloaded onto the phone

nixonyang:
I don't really get your question. What I did for my Trekbuddy maps was to 'tar' them and copy them over into the memory card. The Klang Valley map isn't really complete though.

blurjoey:
Still ain't working. The most it got was bout 10% and the bar simply disappears.

Yea, I've checked previous posts written by you, but the Malaysia Map is about 82MB now.. unless I've selected the wrong map.

So far has the Wayfinder been satisfactory for you? I'm planning to get 36 months (not much of a price diff compared to 12 months). Sheesh.. if only I could get it to work now.

I guess it's the connection problem too. Line's been real unstable lately
Ah that's fantastic. Would really appreciate the effort, although I understand uploading 82MB of data isn't easy at all. Thank you, nevertheless.

You mean the subscription price for C905 is cheaper or more expensive? So 1 year subscription is more worthwhile then in your opinion?

Even if you don't use often, a short period of downloading the maps on the fly drains money like crazy!

Owh, another great finding. I didn't know it's that cheap to subscribe a 5MB data pack. But how long could 5MB last anyway?
Exactly my point, my usage was approximately at RM30 or so now from using Gmaps alone

Thank you so much bro! Much appreciated. Finally downloaded after trying a couple of times (streamyx is really getting on my nerves lately, with 3-4kb/s dl speeds). Would mirror them as soon as my line stabilizes.

I think the link is broken, thanks for the effort though. I'm sorry to hear bout your earpiece problem. They sure take a long time to repair.. perhaps the component is not readily available? Look on the bright side, at least they did not rush through your phone Something occured yesterday with my phone midst conversation though, suddenly couldn't hear the other person talking. But it wasn't permanent. Hopefully nothing is wrong, probably network interference or something like that.

It is zip'ed (compressed). So the file size is reduced significantly. You'd nid winZIP to unzip them

Anyway, I can't find a way to load the maps o_o;

blurjoey: I'm still in doubt. I've turned off A-GPS but it still is connecting via GPRS. Anyway after copying the maps into the 'other' folder, do I have to load/locate the maps using Wayfinder? Doesn't seem to automatically load the maps for me.

Oh, cool. I see the irritating globe once in awhile too, still feel that it's actually downloading something..although the consumption is no longer that much. I've read in the manual that the downloaded map requires to be 'activated', but I just can't find the option to do so.

I've read bout the package on maxis' official website, but there's no instructions on how to subscribe the package

Any plans on subscribing bro? Or u plan to crack it right away?

Bought mine about RM1720, Midland set two weeks back. Atlantis SS2 was selling about RM1600 that time for original. I could imagine the price would've dropped slightly by now.

Camera's awesome. (Is it just me, or I've a dejavu that I've answered this question before.. )
But, in the wrong hands (such as mine).. it still could produce ordinary pictures easily surpassed by lower camera specifications.

heheh.. would that void the warranty?

Oh? If convert K750i to W800i I think need to flash the entire thing.

How do I change the camdriver? Using A2Uploader?

Nice, thanks for the insight. Would go find a good camdriver later. Any recommendation?

Sigh, went over to this thread and read bout C905's cam being underestimated
They obviously haven't seen this

Chill, they haven't really see what C905 could do. Let's prove it to them in due time. I've read about the same thing. Anyway have you figured out how to utilize the Trekbuddy maps?

They are available, there's one camdriver by DarkMagician from the esato forums that's reasonably not bad. Would try it out soon. Can they trace whether there have been any modifications? Like, a log or something in the system

Yup, that's the thread I've been reading

On a side note, a test shot with the original camdriver. Not what I'm expecting. Auto mode, Macro, No Flash and Fluorescent lighting. Man, I'm one lousy photographer. Any tips on good macro shots?

In my opinion the volume isn't really low at all. I myself didn't set the volume to the max. Worth a comparison with another phone as mentioned by pakhusin. Luckily your phone is capable of self recovery

I see, no wonder la the pictures so cantik... haha..
Oh thank you, that's a nice trick. Im gonna practise the paper trick soon enough.
And, thanks for the link, I'm sure many would appreciate it.

pakhusin: You can 'tar' the Trekbuddy maps if the maps are lagging your phone. I'm positive ian90 has posted the methods, try searching through older posts.

On second thought, here:

Put the "untar version" folder in the same place as the maketar.bat then only double click it.

After successfully converted, copy n paste the whole "tar version" folder into your mem stick into the trekbuddy/maps folder.

then...launch trekbuddy and select "options -> load atlas" then go to the maps folder and select the file there.

Credit goes to ian90.

It has navigation possibilities. You'd have to install/copy the CMS theme. I haven't started exploring around it though.

Here's the link

I agree. It's sad to read bout such a news. Don't let it mess you any further, bring it back to the service center. Seems whoever repaired your set didn't do a great job. More like they messed up the tactical response of the keypad.

Congratulations!!! I think you'd have to PM him to be added into the owner's list.
Anyway how many hours u plan to charge the phone? Tell me if after roughly 2-3 hours (fully charged) if the charger's still hot
I'm to break the 8 hours initial charging myth

The map's not Trekbuddy's. It's a Wayfinder Navigator map bro. Might cause some sorta confusion there..

From what I've realized, the phone's battery depletes rather quickly after the 1st charge. What was the battery % when you first turned it on? Give the phone a day or two, probably they've replaced your batteries to a new one. New batteries do have the tendency to get dry after several hours of normal usage. On a side note, I personally think C905's battery couldn't last very long even after several charges.

Chill, no big deal there. Though I'm looking forward for an entire M'sia Trekbuddy map.

So they've fully charged before returning it back to you, I've initially thought it wasn't Warm? Haven't really ventured into touching that area during heavy usage. But on normal usage (on 60% brightness) it's rather cold. Normally the back of my battery cover is warm if I utilize GPS applications, or during charging. Were there any applications running in the background?

And have you turned off the 3G detecting function? If you're not using 3G then it's wise to turn that function off, by going into Settings > Connectivity > Mobile networks > GSM/3G networks. Then select GSM only.

On a side note, I think the back of the slider shouldn't be warm at all. I'll try running under 100% brightness today and see how things turn up if I leave the screen light on upon extended period of time.
