Jet S8000C from China is a 2G phone. It does not support 3G and is without front camera.

4) Tap Navigation and select the Enable option to enable it. Tap Save and then exit.

6) Download Route66 Sync software and install it on your PC.
7) After installing Route66 Sync on your PC, connect your Jet to your PC in 'Mass Storage' mode.

my bro is using a jet which is bought 2 days a go.

camera perfect.
reception and phone call ok.
wi fi with ease.
battery normal.

only 1 problem
the phone change the photo by tilting the phone(i mean the accelerometer working),
but no screen auto-rotate either in viewing photos or in sms (so no qwerty key pad)
so where can i turn on the accelerometer feature for this function.

my firmware is (S8000CZCIF8)
so is this due to firmware or wrong menu option?
can this be solved by firmware upgrade?
my bro buy this from china, so can this phone work with latest firmware?

please reply me

Hi there. I've had this phone for 4 days now and no problems until last night. For some reason when I try using a GPRS connection (web browsing, weather widget etc) then I get an error message saying unexpected error or network connection error. Anybody know what the issue could be? This worked fine until last night and if I choose to use a WiFi connection it works fine.

> In reply to kingtommy04 @ 2009-11-22 13:54 from u14$The only apps you can upload to your jet set are java apps. There are some sites you can use such as get jar dot com.

However, 95% of these java apps will not work.

So you can try to get a dictionary but given the limited to non existent availability of Java apps (not games) and the fact that the vast majority do not work, it would be difficult

Its in the profile settings. Choose a profile, press the red arrow next to it, then at the top change the 'incoming call' bit to 'text message' and you can then change the message tone.

Can someone tell me if the message tone,when set to an mp3 song, plays the whole song or just a little bit over and over?

It is a great phone!
I am still learning its functions.
How can I change the ringtone when I receive a text message? Where can I find this setting?

Thnx
