The number of entries shouldn't be a problem, since I have about that many too... but I do suspect it's a problem with the TYPE of entries in the Calendar. UIQ doesn't seem to filter out Outlook (or even iSync) calendar entries that well... specially if the PC entries are recurring... omg... it starts screwing up... duplicate entries, weird things start happening... IF the entries were made on the computer. If the entries were made on the P1i then synced with Outlook or iSync, then less problems occur.

That... sort of makes sense. Maybe the media- player never had any rtsp implementation at all..? *shakes head* I'm going to borrow your post and put it in the wiki, if that's all right. Btw ..anyone know of a trick to force the realplayer to launch on bbc- streams and so on?

@jplacson, I think you're right about the iSync not working with Outlook entries with categories. However, synchronization goes haywire even in the phone->PC direction in my experience, especially with recurring entries as you pointed out. Why SE chooses not to fix this problem beats me, especially since the problem has been constantly reported by customers since 2003 at the least, and since it is oh so very easy to fix.

The P1i is a pleasing phone in so many other respects, bugs et al. It is this data synchronization problem that is the most disconcerting and a drain on productivity. Had this problem not existed, I would have been quite satisfied with the phone, since it is true value for money.

Hello,

I have very annoying bug at my P1i and updating to the latest firmware or master reset didn't help.

It happens that while having conversation - sound simply disappears. I can hear nothing - but call duration timer is still counting indicating that phone call hasn't finished. This happens on incoming and outgoing phone calls. While this is happening - signal indicator is showing that there is enough signal strength at that spot...

The only remedy is to switch the phone on and off again.

The other sound bug, that may be related to previous one, is that I sometimes got strange clicking sound while talking. At the first - I was thinking that this happened due to loss of signal but latter I found out that it happens totally random. I repeat the phone call from the same spot and clicking is gone. Doesn't make any sense.

I was searching through forums and f.a.q.s but couldn't find anybody that was able to help or has similar problem.

Third thing is probably not up to phone itself but driver support for syncing the phone with Windows XP PC. File transfer works fine but cannot connect it to PC while in phone mode. Fortunately I also have OS X computer and I sync it with iSync via BT. Still some advice on this would be great.

I was calling SE support center in Croatia but they play dumb on all subjects (suggested to reinstall drivers - which I did with nothing happening)

This is my first SE phone (used Nokia and HP smartphones before) and I was thinking that maybe I simply have a bad karma to get a phone with some exotic never-heard-of problem that cannot be solved... maybe I'll just buy N95...

any help is appreciated!
thanx!

Hi all

I discovered a behaviour that could be a bug. Please advise!

The RDS FM radio bears the name of RDS as it should decode the digital infos sent by the radio station. One of them is the Programme Service PS - the one that shows the name of the station on the display.
Some stations have one, fixed display, other have 2 or more displays (eg. NAME then FREQ), some have dynamical PS (the text is scrolled across the display of the set).

Now, in case of P1i, the radio faults in showing the correct/full RDS PS! When it decodes it, it only shows the first display and that's it. No way of the second or third display, not to mention what happens in case of dynamic PS!

Any ideas?

As the enhanced RDS capabilities weigh 60% of the reason why I bought this model, I really care about this facility!

cheers,
marius

I sometimes find that when I enable WLAN, the Scan option is still greyed out. Anyone else get this? If I kill the WLAN screen in Task Manager and go back in it's ok.

I think it may occur if you disable WLAN while it is still scanning - it then sorta remembers that the option was unavailable... anyone else get this?

Well, the FM Radio behaves even worse that I described it in the earlier post, and it seems that is not a bug, but worse ... (

When you store a station on a channel, and you have the AF on, it only searches for a better frequency as long as it receives a good signal level.
But, if you don't receive the station anymore, it doesn't know to search for a better frequency.
Practically: you store a station in area A. When you travel to area B, and select the stored station, it doesn't select the strong area B signal !!! You have to do it manually!!

Another one: you store the freq 92,5, let's say, with RDS [STATION]. When you travel, and meet after 100km a different station on the same freq, it doesn't bother to decode the RDS of the new station; it automatically recognizes it as the old station - completly brainless !!!!
This is a major drawback comapred to the previous models (W800, K800), and I could even say it's a disastruous piece of engineering ...

I guess I'll get rid of P1 because of this. The rest is more than OK (functionality, battery life, etc).

Yeah, that's got to be it. I wondered about that. Go write in the wiki..?

Can anyone confirm what is the functionality of the RDS radio in W960?
I hope not like I described earlier ...
I can't stand the Pi1 radio any longer, and consider a trade ...

RDS ... the FM functionality where digital information is sent with the radio signal, like the radio station name, type of broadcast, alternative frequency, etc

Aren't the W960 and P1 radios the same?
