I noticed that while surfing via GPRS, any incoming call goes straight to voice mail. Is that a feature? I hope NOT !!!! And go figure, it's not happening all the time...

After upgrading to R7A001 , I see that some bugs have already been fixed.
A couple of bugs still remain and I think these weren't mentioned here before except for one.
1) Bluetooth headset HBH-PV700 keeps on disconnecting after some time.
If disconnected and if my phone rings, sometimes it automatically connects to my phone, sometimes it just won't
2) When you call someone, and if his/her phone is busy, P990i will prompt "User busy re-try ?". Once I press yes, P990 will keep calling him/her until his line is no longer busy. Once the line is no longer BUSY, the P990 should make a warning sound so that I know other party is not busy anymore and I should be speaking with him..... Now it just connects to the other person without any sound warnings . P800/900/910 all made the warning sounds!!!
3) Above Re-trying function does not work very efficiently, sometimes it just gets stuck and never tries to call again.
3) On FC and FO mode while speaking on the phone, there is no way you can turn into ACTIVITY MENU in the Task manager. It's never Highligted !!
4) There is no way, you can turn on the phone speaker before you start talking to other party.
5) Strange enough, In FC or FO mode, once you click Task Manager sign, the ACTIVITY menu does not work. This only happens if the task manager program is already not running in the backround. If the Task maneger is already opened and running on the back round, the Activity Menu works fine. Once the Tas Manager program is ended, the useage of Activity Menu is useless. It's hard to explain try it yourself.
6) If you saved a contact's phone number as a FAX NUMBER, the phone will not let you call that number at all. Some people use their faxes as their phones as well.

another bug found this morning
recurring alarm goes off
I press DONE and not SNOOZE assuming it won't re-ring...
guess what, every 5 minutes it started re-ringing!
I had to go after 4 times into time app to switch off alarm to stop it from ringing every 5 minutes, I could not figure out how to stop it from snoozing, since the GUI did not do what I told it to!
Noticed too with FO the DONE & SNOOZE buttons are swapped, maybe the labels but not the function behind it are swapped in FC ?

the nightmare goes on:
now the backlight won't switch off despite being on auto
I have to lock keys and push a key afterwards to bring up the unlock message, only then the backlight will switch off
that may explain why the battery lasted previously only 1 day, because this sucks all energy within hours !
checked again this afternoon SE update service, but it still stubbornly says I have the latest version.
so I guess there is nothing left but return the phone and buy some other brand or continue using my p910
the p990 is a HUGE disappointement for me....

We are all talking here about the bugs of P990, how do we know our findings are sent to SE ? Are we talking about bugs just amongst ourselves, or is someone sending these feed back to SE ?

Hello,
Ive posted this in another forum but I thought you guys may be able to help.
I seem to have two problems with my 990i received yesterday via vodafone online. I appologise in advance for this long post but hope someone can help me.
Firstly if I click on calender from the today page the phone crashes saying busy even when no other apps are open. I have to close in task manager to close calender app to use the phone. If I shut down and on again its ok but I cant do this every time.
Secondly I still can't connect to the internet via wifi, unless I go through the Vodafone Internet group account.
In order to make it clear I feel I should spell it out.
The group accounts I can choose from are
Business email
Internet
Vodafone internet
Vodafone Mail incomming
Vodafone Mail outgoing
Vodafone Wap
When I set up the wireless, it scanned and found my wireless Lan,
(Authentication is open and network is set to infrastructure.)
I set my WEP key and I add it to group account called "Internet" from those I have listed above.
My W.Lan has a Gold padlock and star by it.
My globe and my antenae are on, and I'm connected when I try to open a page it tries by default to open via Vodafone internet, I scroll to Internet and click connect and it tells me
COULD NOT LOCATE REMOTE SERVER
If I dont scroll and connect to the default Vodafone internet my page comes up.
One of the main reasons I wanted this phone was to surf on a wireless network. If Vodafone has stopped its customers from using this facility, the phone is going back and they can stick it where the sun don't shine and I'll wait for it to come out on O2.
Thanks.

another PC related bug:
latest connection software from SE site
p990 over docking station connected - all works ok
backed up contacts - ok
reflashed firmware (actually said it was latest but did flash it anyway hoping it would not be the same - but it was the same after all)
restore contacts - p990 switches off and XP SP2 bluescreens (SE driver zebrsce.sys)!
reboot pc - p990 switches on and XP SP2 bluescreens again!
reboot pc - now all works again, until you unplug your p990 - BSOD again!
What kinda crap did SE release?

@Dirkies
It must be something to do with your XP system, I had up uploaded to newest FW three times I also restored my settings 3 times, and it worked on all 3 of them.
