@bangsters:
Although there are no officially unlocked iPhones, there is a hack for bypassing the activation process. Try Google.

I had reported some problem with my P990i on July 4 in this thread. Here is some more.

Two things happened again:
1. I found on July 6 (around 10:00 AM) that the phone was completely shut down. I forgot to switch the phone off as I usually do in the previous night. But the phone was fully charged in the evening of July 4 and it was just switched on in July 5 morning - flight mode and WiFi enabled. Received and deleted Exchange ActiveSync messages. That is there was no heavy use demanding ton of juice. Reason of shut-down: Battery level 0%.

I charged the phone whole day with USB charger. Battery level was 83% when the USB cable was disconnected. Phone was in flight mode and WiFi enabled as mentioned above. I heard the phone restart sound after about 15 minutes after I put the phone in its case and in the bag. I selected the phone mode and WiFi was switched-off. Then I used the phone for voice call for about 20 minutes.

I did not switch off the phone on July 6 evening on purpose. This time phone was in phone mode. I checked the phone today morning (July 7) at about 11:00 the phone was still On and the battery level about 50%.

I am wondering, does the phone consume more power during flight mode with WiFi enabled than in phone mode with WiFi disabled?

@bbs: yes, actually is logical that Wi-Fi consumes more...
Close the wi-fi at nite and you'll see improvement.

@701, yes you are right. When the phone is left On overnight in phone mode with WiFi disabled, there is surprisingly more juice left in the battery. But I still don't understand why the phone consumes less power while it was receiving messages via WiFi in day time than in night time without any access to hot spot? Was it trying to connect to some hot spots it detected? I had noticed that battery level was O.K. when I left office in around 21:00 hours and it was found shut down next morning at around 10:00. But I have no idea when it was actually shut down.

does anyone else have the time changes in their txt messages?


My Phone's clock time is correct but when i receive a text message it shows a different time! only started occurring after i did the r6 update.

@corrado:it might be that the phone reads operator's time, not your phone's. Especially if you receive sms' from abroad.

@bangsters:
One more thing about the hack for the iPhone: it only seems to open the non-phone functions like iTunes, Safari, etc. You would still not be able to make or receive calls on it!

@bangsters
I switched from P910. I had it for over a year. Now my P990 has 6 months.
P910 was marvellous. But, with all the things, P990 is awesome anyways. I would never go back.

For a minute, I wanted my P910i back. But I can't go back now, the p990i is so nuch more advanced; not in stability but other than that it offers more.
