Cause the MOST unsafe procedure to flash a phone is Ovi Suite. A single fluctuation in the server and the download might halt leaving a bricked phone in your hands. Unless there is an offline mode but still the safest and most commonly used procedure is JAF or Phoenix. Besides JAF takes only around 30-60 seconds to finish updating or reinstalling the firmware.
Oh btw, have you tried using any custom firmware for C7. Or tried editing the rofs3 and uda files to gain better access to the phone's raw hardware capabilities.

Andrei, 04 Mar 2011Hey Maverick,..thanks 4 replying..culd u please put me thru d process of re.installing the pr1... moreAndrei, I dont think u'll be able to reinstall ur firmware just using your phone..U'll need a PC with a good internet conn and ovi suite on ur pc and connect with a USB cable and follow the instructions it gives you..Just make sure u backup ur phone first which ovi suite will prompt you to do. The download is about 160 MB i think and will take 15 - 20 mins to complete. If your phone is umder warranty you can take it to Nokia Care and ask them to do it too, which is probably easier and safer for you. If you want to do it yourself try out what I've said and I'll be glad to give you more detailed instructions if you like.
Most of the HD games are just around $2 or so..once you have OVI store on your phone you can check it out!! you can also access it on a pc through your ovi account and send an sms with the download link to your phone through the site. Good Luck.

I hope the issue (if it is one) doesnt interfere with the functioning of the phone like watching videos. I'm keen to know how its affected anyone who has the problem.

Hi. I just bought C7 a week ago.The strange thing i noticed is that,while making calls,my serice provider logo ( Tata Docomo ) keeps on blinking.While not on calls it is steady.Can any one tell me if this is a defect or not.Also on Network Mode most of the times Tata Docomo is not displayed ( not sure if it is due to OUT OF 3G coverage ).It is overall a good phone to use.How ever the poor headset quality and the fact that we cannot adjust equaliser settings seems to be the only drawback which I found.The battery pack up is good if we are not using the web.I would recommend this phone to all....

Maverick75, 04 Mar 2011You can charge your phone normally while it is on and online.. no need to switch it off. The o... moreDude, do you know that whenever we plug in the charger, the phone automatically gets disconnected from the battery and starts to use the running electricity from the charger. Batteries are one way only. They usually don't charge and discharge at the same time. Otherwise the whole system will short circuit (since the current is in DC). Don't you agree.....
Oh btw, nice review on the screen problem. I want to add something. We all know that amoled screens has a certain tint of its own. And amoled screens don't have back lighting i.e the pixels light up only when it needs to emit any colour or light. So they remain turned off when it needs to emit black colour. Hence it has the thing we call 'deeper blacks'. Now what i wanna say is that maybe the tint that amoled screens has (in turned off state) come in the way of colours when they are emitted in low brightness magnitude, giving a new kind of tint.
I am just guessing. Don't take it seriously.
