Hi,
I recently got an unbranded c905. After I purchased it I updated the firmware with SEUS to version:
1205-9079
R1DA032
090204
The smile-shutter appeared, the Youtube application and Tracker too, so the update came through. But! I still have WayFinder 7, no threaded sms view, battery life is still crap (not more than a day on normal use) and GPS is still slow connecting. to the sattelites.
How come? Was it not an unbranded one? Oh, and the Walk Mate application does not work, when I shake the phone the man on the screen starts 'walking', but the steps are not counting...
Anyone
?

Hmm, I already searched, but couldn't find an answer to my exact situation...
But after some research I found out that my phone probably is a branded one, so I'll follow an unbrand guid and post the results here afterwards to see if the problems disapeared.
Thx anyway

okay which network are you on?
You will have wayfinder 8, look load "Wayfinder 7" and go on about or something similar and it will say build 8.n.n.n, the old one said build 7.n.n.n
The walk-mate application works i noticed that when i shook it, it didnt count but then went on a 1 hour walk and i clocked up 5,000 steps! i think it realises the pattern of doing the same thing and wont count shaking, thats cheating!
With gps i do amit it can sometimes be slow but i found great improvements with the new firmware, it keeps looking. the reason it cannot connect is the area your in perhaps?
The sms chat i cant help you with some networks are a little "special" and dont put it in... Can i confirm you dont have an extra tab when u go in ur inbox saying "conversations"?
If not i would flash a new firmware onto the phone. I used Davinci and i am very happy with the service and i can confirm the following Car phone Warehouse firmware has everything you need on it. Shame it will cost you around £9 but its worth it!
http://davinciteam.co.uk/phone_details_C905_R1DA032_CID52.html - I used the second to top one. "C905 R1DA032 CID52 CARPHONE WAREHOUSE UK /NIGHT BLACK WESTERN-EUROPE"
I will be on looking at this thread for a while if u need any help.

I bought the phone via Hi (Dutch) but my number has still to be transferred to them, so I'm using my old Orange sim right now (the phone is simlock-free).
Another strange thing happend... I was absolutely shure that I had seen the snapfish entry in the media section, including 20 free prints for my phone. Today it was just gone. An hour ago, I saw that almost all my own apps had disappeared! Now Google Earth won't start either, same for the Tracker application. Even a master reset didn't help. Now all my apps are gone (caused by the reset) but Google Earth still won't start. It just returns to the main screen and then nothing happens.

Quick message: the snapfish app isn't in applications its on the options when your viewing the photo.
Try installing the firmware through seus

Hmm, I already updated the phone once via SEUS, but I'll try it again.
The Snapfish application should be there when viewing a photo and selecting options. It was called 'Afdrukken best.' which is something like 'Order prints'. The regular 'Print' option is still available.
And Google earth still won't start :/

Well... I debranded the phone using CDA #1205-9079. Everything works fine again (for now), but the threaded sms view is still not available
Guess I need to use another CDA number... do you know which one? I can't find the right one.
I really would like to have that sms view, 'coz I use sms to 'chat' to other people regularly (hope you know what I mean), so it would be nice to view all the messages at once.
Thx in advance!
EDIT: Ah, great, just tried searching once more and found that number '1214-7311' should do the trick. I'll edit this post to post the results if it is available after the update.

Yeah, but the entry was just gone yesterday, and reappeared after reinstalling the firmware. I just didn't realize that the 20 free prints only counted for the 1st order, so I threw away 19 :')
