Hi all, it would be really useful if those of you with the P990 could report problems here as the other P990 thread covers too much.
many thanks
Marc

Ok i guess ill start even though i just posted quite a big post in teh p990i thread.
Anyways my major gripe with the p990i is the fact the media player is very very low in volume. Through the phone itself it seems pretty loud, well my ringtones are quite loud at max but through my bt headset, hbh ds970 i find it extremely low and ive got the volume on the headset turned to max and same with the p990i. I'll have to go home later today and plug my w810i headphones in there and see if its low through them as it doesnt have its own volume. If it is then hopefully SE will provide a firmware fix for this as its not very good.
Hmm what else, well when when listening to my mp3s i received a message and went to reply to it. But before i could hit reply the phone came up with an error and crashed. Crashed quite badly as well, as i couldnt re-start it without taking the battery out physically.
Other than that i cant think of any other major problems.

One i have noticed.
Wifi doesn't connect to access points where the SSID is masked (hidden) - bit of a pain

Trying to view gmail also tried the mobile link.
I currently get a Network Problem Information page.
Only option I have is to continue
Tmobile GPRS.
Web N Walk.
Anyone else have this issue I don't really want to set up a mailbox just want to use the web interface.

I have done it its no problem. I have connected through WEP and WPA and invisible SSID the thing is with invisible SSID is that you will not find it of course in WLAN Scaning menu.
This is how I did...
I have swedish as language so my translation to english menus will not be exactly.
1) Go to control panel
2) Go to Connections There you will se Bluetoth, inertnet, IR, MobileNetworks, USB, and WLAN
3) Go to Internet account
4) Press the arrow at the top to the left of internetaccount
5) Press New Account - Wlan
6) Acountname you can name as what ever you want so it will be easy for you to know like work or home etc
7) Networksname(SSID) -- Type in exactly the right name big letter and so on
8) authentication -- If you have WEP leave it open if you have WPA take that
9) just press the arrow on the bottom and fill in the rest like password mm.
10) when done this save and the phone will ask you if you want to add it in a group. This you shall do in Internet group.
11) go back to internet acounts and you will se your new acount. Press the menu Groups. Press Internet
12) Now set the priority so your wlan acount is before your gprs acount. Youst click the name and change the Priority. Then It wil first check if you have wlan connections before going to GPRS..
13) check if its working. Open your web browser and a world globe will spin around in the bottom, press it and look if its your WLAN acount that the data trafic is coming from..
Hope this will help.
This works for me.

@Spawn,
I can't replicate either of your issues... the sound is nice and loud from the headphones supplied....
also i can send and recieve texts while listening to mp3s....
i think the sound quality is superb.... comparable to my ipod.....

Ok
I have a few:
* The search of a contat in FC will generate a number the first time you press the keys to get the letter you want to search for.
* The webbrowser takes often up to 20-25 sec to start, and give an error message sometime. "KERN-EXEC" you know...
* The phone runs out of memory even though you close down the programs.
* The mediaplayer can take an awfly long time to start a clip.. especially if the clip is long. (Not the time as the webbrowser though...)
The soundlevel in mediaplayer I think is ok.. If I have my headphones in and go max it almost hurts.. And without the headphones I think it's ok for a phone! It's not a stereo!

@joel80, the 910 also shows a number in FC before moving to contacts, you just hold the button in. it shows the number to indicate which speed dial button you have pressed even if you have no speed dial assigned to the number . i guess it does this to allow you the speed dial option before moving to contacts. sort of 2 functions on the same key press dependent on the time the key is pressed.
as to this thread, i bet it will catch the other 990 thread up for quite a few firmware updates yet..

Hi
You made me find a new function... cause that wasn't what i ment.
If i go to the contacts by pressing right and then when i am in the contact-program i press a key and it gives me a nuber before i can write any letters. If i hold down there it just give me the number again... (So if i hold 5 down it first give me a 5 right away and then as in textmode when you press down a key, it gives you the number after a sec... )
if i press it twise fast it forst writes out the 5 and then a j. So I'm searching for 5j instead of k.
hm...
