guys, what screen protector do u use for your N79. So far, I've tried 3 different types of screen protectors and they all fall off after a week or two. sweat.gif
was just wondering if there is a special type of screen protector for our phone. icon_question.gif
I just changed mine after 9 months of usage...its been 45 days now....works great...bought it from normal phone accessories shop with cheapo price brows.gif

i usually just receive a few calls and surf the net for 30 minutes a day. yet, by the end of the day, my battery will be left with 1 bar. I'm beginning to suspect that the salesman might have switched my battery to a imitation model. mad.gif

Try changing your battery...if its under warranty you could claim for it.

Hey people... I'm choosing based on these 2... N79 & N85
Cause i'm more of a classic phone guy, or Nokia calls it the monoblock.

But somehow i find n85 nice, best design i would say among N series,quite good review too. But i've never heard anything about n79 so far.

So what do you guys recommend? what are the difference between these 2 cause their specs looks the same, its just that n85 can support higher memory..
*
If you like slide, choose N85, otherwise its N79 rclxms.gif

Both cell's memory can be upgraded...thuhs far heard users had gone to 32Gb

can but will be quite dark...
n79 camera has sports mode as well, but since it is using led flash only, the image will be quite dark...

Not necessary the sports mode does well, I have taken many pictures while in the car, train and bus!

Has anyone of you guys figured out already how to disable the annoying camera shutter sound and red light?
*
Shutter sound is build in for privacy purpose, not sure if you could disable it (probably if its hacked) as for red light, what is the problem?

How's the night shot performance of N79?
*
N79 performs very well on daylight and on the sports mode for fast moving objects. But night shooting definitely a no no, unless closeups

LYN have few forummer they offer repair LCD service in cheap price maybe you can try to ask they quote you the price for repair LCD.
*
Thats a good suggestion...start first with the external LCD quote, and then get a quote from Nokia as well. If its not much of a difference then go with Nokia else just do it external. Good Luck.

What happened? Did you drop or some mishaps?

Do u know how much NCC will charge us for changing housing of N79? icon_question.gif

chinook had mentioned that at NCC it cost him RM189 rclxub.gif

The LCD just died actually. It was in my pocket and when I took it out to read/reply an sms, it was all blank, with nothing but the keypad lighted, sound still worked.

Already replaced the LCD at Nokia Care 1 Utama. Cost me RM189.

i've read quite a of opinions on n79, apparently n79 lags shit.. my friend's mom just bought a new set recently & she's thinking selling it off already because of this lagging & hanging problem..

why ah?
*
I dont see any lagging on my phone at all!, unless I have more than one application running, such as GPS, music, and/or games.

Hmm could it be due to your external memory? whats the size you have and its transfer rate?

but i have heard quite a few comments that n79 lags..
not sure with the external memory, it's a lady user.. i dont think all these memory card stuff concerns her, which means its oem..
*
Then bring to the shop and check it out...I would suggest.

I have 5 friends using as mine, and none of ours lags. 4 AP set and 2 from ori.

Added on March 17, 2010, 6:11 pmbtw, is nokia bh-216 compatible with n79? cant find n79 in its compatibility list...
*
As for the headset, I dont think its compatible with N79, its more for N97 model. But check it out from the shop itself, I might be wrong smile.gif

for me, as for now, it is worth to buy.

what i dont like?
- keypad a bit hard to press, since there are no clevage between key 1, 2 and 3, afraid it will crack in the middle
- using A-gps will eat your money a bit tongue.gif

*
You could use I-GPS is you dont want to pay! rclxms.gif Its a little slow in connecting, but once connected not a problem.

Keys, you need to get used to it, unless one has big fingers. Finger nail might be helpful! nod.gif

As for the camera, the burst mode and sports do take pretty good pictures. Its only at low lights especially night shots (indoor) are not that good.

Thanks Heero for the feedback.....but if you want faster connection to GPS, then set AGPS< as soon as you get connected, just disable AGS, and IGPS would continue to serve biggrin.gif
