wah...i just kenna the earpiece problem. but DIY and settled liao.

There's already a method to do it all at once on the older versions of this thread.

you know, the pictures below that post come with english instructions.

you don't get any cert. Instead you upload your application to them, and they sign it instantly. then u download the signed file.

they won't notify you. just log in in a day or too and the pop up will let u know if your imei is certified already.

doesn't seem to affect 5800 much.....battery life seems to be good even with latest version of gmxt.

Used garmin for a few days already, never see any difference in battery life. it appears to affect only s60v3 phones.

becos those applications weren't catered for by the theme maker.

you'll have to find the app uid, submit to the theme maker, let them compile a new version....very troublesome.

so it's better to use theme with default icons, or at least new icons that look similar to the default ones, so they don't look so obviously different.

different models have different uid, even for the same application. u can choose not to believe, i've used the theme maker before.

this problem is even more obvious if u use themes made for s60v3 phones.

You'll find that symbiansigned doesn't work for ahme programs....the chinese one is less restricted.

converting from dvd or bluray version? bluray version IMAX scenes will fill up the whole screen. Shiok...

shiok...i can see it's clearer than the dvd version. and IMAX scenes a lot of difference because dvd don't have the imax scenes.

got bluray rips what...but what u dun know won't hurt you. No loss.

no need lah...i convert to 1200kbps it's around 1.2gb for dark knight.

i think 1000kbps will do pretty much as well.

hehe...i'm a stickler for quality...got little difference or pixelation i can notice.

also, i mainly convert from HD sources, so it's more obvious than from dvd converts.

i've tested several video encoders, it's not that bitrate that's a factor, more a problem of the encoder level. ScalableSimple@L1 videos can even go up to 2500+kbps bitrate and play smoothly.

But videos encoded at Simple@L3 will freeze/jerk during playback.

You can see the video encoding level with a software called MediaInfo on the pc.

Added on January 28, 2009, 2:45 amOne easy way to uninstall application/games more easily is to use the Organize option.

Select organize in the options menu, then highlight the app u wanna uninstall, press option and select Remove. Save the trouble of going to the settings screen. But themes cannot go via this way.

It must be signed to your phone's imei, you can't sign for your phone and then pass to other phone to install.

check the APN control in settings

settings->connectivity->admin setings->APN control.

is the connection restriction active?

It looks easy, but do first time sure panic.

and my earpiece was very tight, to to use screw driver push a bit. put back also need some elbow grease....

and open up another 3 more times to clear dust that sneaked in.
