Reprovisioning
---------------

I'm not 100% sure since my phone isn't locked and I think this might have something to do with it.
My japanese friend and I are the only people that own the 802SH in Coffs, her's has the Japanese Firmware, mine the European.
When I access her GPRS it works fine, but because it is roaming and contains the Japanese KK settings it might try to load local settings into the browser.

If you choose "Execute Pending" in the Re-Provisioning settings, what happens? Also, if you go to your local Vodafone site and get them to send you the settings via SMS, maybe that will solve it.

Sorry, haven't come accross this issue myself, but try that maybe.

PLAYING MP3's
--------------

Follow this path for mp3's:

Private > Vodafone > My Items > Sounds & Ringtones

Once they are within this folder "Sounds & Ringtones", you're phone will detect them. You may have multiple sub-folders if you wish.


1.3 MPx and ZOOM
----------------------

No, you cannot zoom when you're on the highest resolution. This is why the new phones support optical zoom!


CHECKING FIRMWARE
------------------------

Type in this code here:

*01763*8371#

Actually, can you guys let me know which firmware you are running, please?


VODAFONE LIVE! & MMS
---------------------

In many cases Vodafone will not allow the 802SH to access their network because the phone has not been approved on any Vodafone Networks outside of Japan (Vodafone KK).

Telstra has just released their 3G service here in Rural NSW and I will try to get everything happening with them since Vodafone is being difficult, and Vodafone UMTS won't be available in Coffs Harbour until next year.

But other carriers might allow the 802SH to access GPRS. Simply get them to send you the settings!


UNLOCKING
----------------

No, unlocking will not restrict your phone from any features. Firmware up/downgrades will.


VODAFONE Branding
------------------

Unfortunatelly there is no other firmware available for the 802SH other than the current Vodafone versions. This phone was not released to any other networks like Vodafone Smartone in Hong Kong, hence there is no other firmware at this stage.
Chances are low of receiving other firmware since the 703SH & 903SH are now available.


BATTERY LIFE
-------------

My battery lasts around 5 days with minimal usage. That means no MP3 playing, camera shooting or the like.
I use the MP3 player regularly and the camera, and with both I receive around 2-3 days without recharging.

FIRMWARE

I haven't got it fixed yet, but the firmware that should work is 1.33 if I'm correct. It's the best to contact SHARP since Vodafone are just idiots when it comes to customer service!

There are two versions (European) out for the 802, the 1.33 and 1.40. I'm not sure if the japanese firmware would be usable, I have heard that these phones unlock by changing firmware...which is a bit of a myth I think. If it were that easy...


AAC + MP3

No, the 802 does not support AAC/+, but mp3PRO and regular mp3 work just fine! MP3PRO is similar to AAC+ in that it allows smaller file size at a lower kbps (64kbps, 128kbps) with the same quality as a 192kbps/220kbps file.
Its great!!!

Ringtones can be MMF 5, which allows up to 24khz which is basically mp3 quality! I can send you the converter files if you want it!

FLASH

Flash can be set as a background file but not as a ringtone/video. It is FlashLite 1.1 so it has a few Actionscript limitations, but other than that it's really nice!

How did you get the firmware update to fix the phone so that the message sent folder actually stores the sent messages?

To skater42,
I would like to ask some questions.
1.I read in
http://plusd.itmedia.co.jp/mob...news010.html
that claim that 703SH can use iTune to encode music to AAC that can use as ringtone instaed of MP3.
Is this true? Can you try it?
If 802/902 can set AAC as ringtones, I will buy it. ^_^
Translated link:
http://www.worldlingo.com/wl/t...wlg_table=-3

2.Can use flash as a ringtone.
3.What does video/music format that can set as alarm clock?
I'm sorry that very poor English skill but I hope you can guess that what I want to tell.



Thanks,

Phonebook synchronization:

YES, you can do so with MS Outlook, best is to use IrDA since bluetooth can be a pain in the a*se to setup.
But it's possible! Mine works fine!

MP3 & MP4

When you use a MMC/SD card you must arrange the folders so that SHARP can read it. If you put a blank SD/MMC card into the phone it will create all necessary folders.
You must put the MP3/4's into the:

My Items > Sounds & Ringtones OR

My Items > Video/ SD Video Folder

You can also put music and .swf (Flash) into the "Other Documents" folder to read.


OPTUS MMS & GPRS

This phone is almost nowhere supported. I tried to hook it up with Telstra and received one lucky attempt to connect to GPRS, but never since.
I contacted Vodafone for a software upgrade but they cannot do it unless SHARP can blablablablabla...

Vodafone is hopeless in this respect. The V802 is an Japanese exclusive and has never been adopted outside of Japan, though the European Firmware (1.40) does exist....

But if you are looking for ringtones in mp3 quality, download the latest YAMAHA MMF converter which plays up to 24khz of music, 300kb limit!

I OWN THIS PHONE so ask me all you want ;)

Joao,

the MP3 player is really awesome! Very good quality and very loud! You can choose differnet sound settings like Bass, Surround Sound and Surround Bass.
You get the converter so you can plug any 3.5 mm headset into it and you have three play lists!

The loudspeaker is also nice, though it sounds a bit tinny.
The volume through the headphones is sometimes even too loud, as where the GX30 wasn't loud enough. You have around 20 Volume levels.

You can also fast-forward and rewind your favorite track which was impossible on the GX30, and repeat single or all songs.

The 802SH is perfect for any stereo speakers and is a little "Hi-Fi" if connected to a decent speaker set.

So enjoy it! Ebay australia sold them for under AU$400 (US$~300) where I got mine from.

cheers,

Skater42
