> In reply to Jonathan @ 2008-10-08 09:29 from vxd5U need to install the map of your country and then work on GPS using NAVIGON(internal mobile software)

Garmin does not detect internal GPS but it needs external bluetooth GPS device

Have it for one week. Good phone. Haven't upgrade the Firmware. Wifi work quite fast.
Good music Player but no dedicated speaker. Good camera but the zooming and clicking sound is annoying. Track ball is OK, but not for browsing. GPS not working yet, keep searching the satellite.

Question :
-How to disable camera sound ?
-Why GPS could not connect (I install both Garmin & NavFone)

guys, when using apollo, you need to choose MODEM CODE file, which would have '.bin' extension (PHONE_i550PMHE3.bin). For the PDA IMAGE, it would be a '.img' (PDA_i550PMHE3.IMG).

Once you have followed the instructions posted previously for driver installations (as preparation to flash your phone), started the Apollo application with your phone plugged on your pc, and have clicked on the 'All Download' button on Apollo, the status for MODEDM Status will display the process going on for the installation of your .bin file... now the tricky part is, once it's finished, it will pause for a couple of seconds. you are not supposed to unplugged your phone from your pc. In a moment, installation of .img (PDA image) will occur. Once this is done, that's the only time we can unplug it from the pc.

By the way, the features mentioned on the previous instruction on installing this firmware is indeed there... even the phone start up has changed, cool interface!
