this keypad can jaw
Does anyone know how to Overclock the Processor in the P990i?
What's the difference between this Sony Ericsson P990 and Sony Ericsson P990i?? Is the SE P990i newer? Well, i bet so...
Thanks.
I am concerned about the battery strength, not lasting more than a day for moderately high users. The battery specifications do not reflect the actual standby and talk times. Is there a known solution to this problem? Otherwise the device is good.
Hi,
Am using P990i since past Dec 2006 and find is a good device. Yet to make use of all functionalities but am happy that most of the features required by a mobile executive are met by P990i.
I would certainly add that it is little slow but am sure in future there will be faster devices.
Cheers.
Shivaji.
PS: Does anyone know where we can get free CASINO / POKER / CHESS etc games for P990i?
when you upgrade the phone does it consume phone memory and if yes how much? thanks
am I the only one who thinks this phone has the worst buttons ever? the buttons are too small...
hey SE lovers :D
what the heck does R9 stands for ????
yea i know it's an upgrade to this phone's operating system , right ????
but the acronym "R" for R9 , stands for what ????
i'll really appeciate your right response :)
thanks :-)
Enjoy the latest R9!
But I'm not sure whether it's OFFICIAL
or stil in the "testing"...
Well, do ur backup often..
Hi guys,
finally I managed to download the latest software after having the phone connected to my laptop / internet the whole night.
And, correct, the lastest software is
Phone CXC162037 R9EA001
Bluetooth CXC162058 R5A01
Organizer CXC162036 R4A13
CDA CDA 162007/2 R4A09
I bought the P990 in October last year. Had problem with synchronization especially Notes (not transferred to the P990). Email to Sonyericsson Malaysia. They could not give me any Solution to the problem. Phone also suffers from system hangs even after updating to R7 firmware. This year update to R9. No more hangs but receive error prompts whenever I get incoming mms. My problem with synchronization still not solved. I wonder anyone else have similar problem and how to overcome it. I even emailed to Steve Litchfield ( the famous smartphone guru) but his curt reply was the P990 is buggy).
My desktop using Windows XP SP3, Outlook 2000 SP3, Sony PC Suite ver 1.2.15.
Here is email I sent to SE in November 2006.
“ I have just bought a Sonyericsson P990 as I wanted to upgrade to a 3G smartphone. I also have XDA mini, Treo 600 and SE P800 in my possession.
I am happy to note that Contacts and Calendar can now be backed up to the memory card.
Unfortunately sms templates is still absent in the Messages application of P990 smartphone. XDA and Treo have this time saving feature as in most lower priced "dumb" cellphones.
The new Symbian UIQ 3 is so different from the previous version that I felt that I am using a new operating system. All the familiar application short cut icons at the top of the screen is gone. In combination with Handyday application I have complete access to all the application icons that I require in the P800. Sonyericsson or Symbian should provide an option for those upgrading from previous P models to switch either old interface or new interface.
After I synchronised with Outlook, I realised that Contacts, Calendar and Tasks are synchronised except for Notes. The notes attached to my Contacts are also missing after synchronisation. The desktop prompted 3 times "Custom forms could not be opened. Outlook will use Outlook form instead"
I have synchronised my desktop Outlook for years with XDA mini, Treo 600 and SE P800 without losing any data. I did not alter any setting in the desktop Outlook. No error prompts from Outlook during synchronisation. Notes are transferred to the SE P800 and open using the Viewer.”
Thamk you
when you upgrade the phone does it consume phone memory and if yes how much? thanks
I think it is a great phone. I find it a little slow though, is there any software upgrade that may improve this, and if so, when can i get it. thanks
Dear symphantized P990 users,its the biggest lies that R9EA001 firmware any of many problems,i have paid 100$ to the main dealer fr upgrade.Now it has stopped ringing only vibration,idiotic.There is main compatibility problem with UIQ software ad hardware.Se for Gods sake release a new P1010 cell and exchange with all millions of poor customers.otherwise everybody is FEDUP.
here is the latest software which i "think"
downloaded on Jan 5th
through INDIA SE Webside
Phone: CXC162037 R9EA001
Bluetooth: CXC162058 R5A01
Organizer: CXC162036 R4A13
CDA: CDA162007/2 R4A09
But please make sure that u've already
backup all ur informations, coz it will
LOST after installation, for ur advise,
SYNC with PC first before u install it.
Coz i fail to restore the backup file
from my memory card..
There're many types of memory card u can find in the market, pls go for ORIGINAL memory card.
Hi guys,
I got the P990i in December 2006 and was amazed. Unfortunately the memory card had some problems being recognized by the phone and becuase of that the phone was changed. Now Im having a phone with all the problems described by you all and I am sure, its a software/firmware problem.
Downloading the software fm SE takes awfully long and last time the new software was downloaded by 21% in just 5.5 hours! Then I had to break up.
So, my questions:
No. 1: any better source than SE for the latest firmware?
No. 2: back in October 2006 the latest systems info was
Phone CXC162037 R7A001
Bluetooth CXC162058 R4F01
Organizer CXC162036 R3B01
CDA CDA162007/2 R3B01
Any changes? What is the latest version now?
Thks guys.
