hi all. Still having problems playing music, still 'jumps' in each song! Any ideas how i do a soft reboot of phone without losing data? Thanks

*moggsy* · 19-07-2009, 6:28 PM

*#7780# for a soft reset; *#7370# for hard 'back to factory settings (ie lose all apps, settings etc....)

you might be better off starting from scratch and follow the youtube tutorial

Lololol!

It's all sorted now! The whole issue was that I was using Symbian ROM Flashing Tool 1.52 instead of the 1.50

Cheers for all your help though! ^_^

IG2 installed at last! Interface feels a bit smoother but not enough to compensate for my gripe! Ah well, at least the audio codec is fixed!

Can anyone help me.

I have debranded the phone to the italian firmware, but now when I try to update it to IG2 (latest firmware) using Samsung PC Studio 7, I get a message stating:
"The connection between the phone and PC has been updated"

UPDATE: Fixed the problem, the phone requires a sim to be inserted, when attempting to update.

The same thing kept happening to me and then crashed halfway through. i flashed my handset to the italian version again. then i remove all of the Samsung software from my PC inc the samsung usb drivers and the usb drivers for the flashing software via uninstall programs. i also removed the samsung folder within program files. I started all over again with a fresh install of PC studio 7. the 1st update didn't work, but then i rebooted my PC tried again and it worked..

Supposedly SmartMovie 4.10 is meant to work but it didn't on mine. I haven't tried it since debranding so perhaps there's a chance it will work. You can download a 30 day trial. Just Google it.

Coreplayer is the king of pocket media players and hopefully it will be with us very soon.

it opens then closes on my italian generic firmware grrr

silent_hunter · 21-07-2009, 12:38 AM

is there an eta on core player coming to 5th edition symbian?

kradcliffe · 21-07-2009, 8:23 AM

Coreplayer will be released for S60v5, but it's a waiting game. I'm using it for audio only (which is brill quality) but the graphics are all over the place.
They quoted a release in "summer" but who knows ......

Eddzz!! · 21-07-2009, 10:35 AM

Anyone else having issues reinstalling Fring for IG2?!

Just go to m.fring.com and download it via WAP. It should download without trouble. Working fine on mine too.

Does anyone know how to convert the italian weather widget to an english one? i thought you would be able to just type in the location of a place like most widgets, but this one keeps going back to milan...

cheers...

Usama · 21-07-2009, 5:47 PM

On some deals you get 500mb data a month. Is that enough, how much time will I be able to spend on the internet?

I want to know where the bloody AccuWeather widget has gone!

And the Google one for that matter! You can't even find them in the MoreWidgets2 widget! Very annoying!

I don't think you can do this. Don't forget, we are using an Italian firmware. We will have to wait until the proper UK version is released. Personally, this doesn't bother me in the slightest as I much prefer to have the aac codec in place.

The Accuweather widget I thought was rubbish. It kept on reverting back to London for me and it just plain didn't work sometimes. Again, I wouldn't beat myself up too much about this because the firmware is supposed to be for Italy.

silent_hunter · 21-07-2009, 10:46 PM

im having some serious battery issues in that it just loses bar after bar of battery after doing not that much with the phone. Thinking of returning it for that exact reason!

Google widget gone as well? I also can't upload photos to Facebook!

Feel like I'm not getting the worth out of this phone

silent_hunter · 22-07-2009, 12:19 AM

Yeah the lack of "wanting to use the web" on the samsung and the lack of apps that are hassle free is what is leading me to returning mine and sticking with the n97 which has been solid as a rock since the new firmware for me anyways

jj1234 · 22-07-2009, 6:41 AM

******** I was really hoping to get this phone, I don't know if it's orange messed up or not but im 3 months away from the end of my my contract so it says I can upgrade but the price of the phone is nearly £400 even on pay monthly £30 a month? Even the tocco ultra is £299!!!! is this right? Ok it really can't be right I've change the plan to the highest service plan and the phone is still nearly £400??
