Use a card reader on your pc to transfer the files to the card.

JJI, Rajko

JJI, to install any region firmware, you must use a firmware (European in your case) from Asus site AND the PATCHED (not from the asus site!!) installer. The installer is called SORGs pack, google for ASUS language unlock utility.

Rajko,
go to asus.com and download the european firmware. Take the 4.17 version, for instance. I don't get what the problem could be here.


I'm not satisfied with Asus - I had troubles with their wifi router until I got linux on it(unofficial firmware). My friend has two Asus laptops, and is always complaining on them. And I didn't want to buy the p535, but I had no other choice: I already owned an HTC and a Glofiish, and I don't wan't a Mitac. I'll sell of this bulky ugly piece of chineese plastic as soon as I get a Toshiba 920.

Can U associate different ringtones to different contacts or pictures to your contacts? When a contact is calling you, do you see his picture on the screen (if U selected before)?

I have been using this P535 since May 2007. I love this new smart phone so much. I am trying to response some people concerns here.
For mskl, please make sure you are not turning on all the battery-consuming features. For normal cellphone usage, only turning on the phone, not bluetooth, wifi, GPS. GPS won't be able to turn regularly, only when you have the navigation software running, then you will able to turn on the GPS. If you are already doing this, then it must be your battery problem. My device can use for more than 3 days. If you need to use Bluetooth handset, it uses TONS of battery life anyway.
For PrP}, it depends what contacts you have. It only accepts Outlook contacts. So, if you have Palm contacts before, you need to export from the Palm desktop software to Outlook first, then sync. Anyway, you can only sync with Outlook to get all the contacts, no matter what contacts file you have.
For myself, I do have some questions to ask, hopefully someone can answer mine then. I am here to thank in advance.
1. If I am using WM6, it is true that installing a patch or driver then I can use a 4GB MiniSD SDHC card??
2. Since my device is brought from HK, it is from asian region, so my OS is a chinese version. As far as I know Upgrading OS can only be upgrading to the same region OS. You cannot change region. I am now using a chinese version WM6 OS. So, my question is can i able to change to english version WM6 OS?

Sorry MAZE, the guy is named ExGANDI

Rajko, to get the WM6 ENGLISH in a Russian(or whatever) device, do the following:
donwload SORGs pack (it contains Region unlock and an patched uninstaller) and the Eastern Europe firmware from the Asus official site. Then follow the instructions in Sorgs pack (they are in Russian).

I'm also getting very frustrated with the new tendency to create Operating systems for imbeciles, Windows Vista the leader. Vista is designed to be smarter than an average user and to judge for the human. I want the computer to do what I want. I will think was is appropriate and what is not. The problem with installing English OS on a Russian/Turkish/Whatever Asus p535 is one of such sad cases.

To the FRUSTRATED GUY named MAZE on the radio:
1) the radio is required to download traffic jam information via RDS.That's the primary use of radio in Etens and HTCs gps-enabled phones,as well as built-in car navigation (like in an X5 or Pathfinder)
2) I don't know why Asus saved on a 1 dollar radio chip in a so pricy device
3) in most cases, the radio is already integrated in the SirfstarIII chip.I don't know why Asus economised on implementation.

Compared to my late Glofiish x500, this unit is considerably thicker and clumsier, and the plastic is of low quality (buy a silicone case at once). The processor is faster, but its almost useless on a outdated 320x240screen: Asus saved again for no obvious reason.
It is uglier than Eten and especially HTC phones. Looks bulky like old Eten G500 or Mitac Mio 700
And the frustrating thing is that most of the Camera button cannot be remapped for something for useful.
The bluetooth headset profile and operation is worse then in Glofiish or HTC. I experienced voice and music cuts with my friends Moto ROKR stereo headset.He also has a P535 and has the same problems (no problems of Glofiish or HTC). Today I'll get my Ritmix BT stereo headset and try it out, hope no problems with this one.

In general, it's a standart WM5/6 GPS phone, no better than a Glofiish or HTC.I bought it only because I'm seek and tired of Etens (had G500 and X500), my X500 got smashed during sports, HTC p3300 is too damn slow (200mhz?in 2007?for Christ sake!), and Mitacs are too ugly. Other smartphones lack a BT module, or a Wifi module, or a GPS module, or are too bulky.
Hope to exchange my p535 for a Toshiba 920 as soon as the latter will be available.
