Thinking about returning my P910i
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I received my SE P910i last Friday (direct upgrade from Tmobile) and I took an instant dislike to the branding they have on it.

I gave it a chance over the weekend and decided that its still an excellent phone and I could live with their software on it. The problem is I am experiencing difficulties with it:

1) That awful Tmobile jingle when I turn the phone on or off.

2) I cannot assign an application to start when I open the flip. I change it in the software but all that comes up is the Tmobile desktop.

3) When I use Tracker 4 some of the icons keep defaulting back to the T Mobile desktop and I have to assign the internet button to quickly get back into the program. Surely all the skins for Tracker 4 should have their own screens and not keep defaulting to the T mobile one.

I guess I can try and find somewhere that will flash the phone for me since I really love the phone and it seems to be T mobile that have messed up the potential of the device.

Is it just me having these problems?

Not 100% sure about this, but if you download the latest firmware from the SE website, and DON'T do a restore, you should remove all the branding.
To ensure that you keep all your mobile numbers, sync it before and then after with Outlook.

That worked great!

I can now use handy day on flip open.

Thanks for your help!

Just one thing

When the flip is closed and I press the shortcut key to bring up handyday, the program only stays on the screen for about a minute then it changes back to the normal desktop. Can this be changed?

Tigermad you should get yourself O2 version of P910i , just last week phones4u were giving away p910i for free with £30 a month contract on 200 plan. Plus the O2 version has the Generic Firmware/Software.

so no jingle at start up and tracker would work as it should.

avoid Orange, Vodafone and T-mobile versions if you live in the UK!

O2 is the only way, I found out the hard way cause i went with the Orange version and had to flash it to generic firmware, there goes my insurance.!

I believe this is the case with all Flip Closed apps. If you don't do anything for about a minute, the FC desktop appears.
It can be a pain, if you are using you mobile to find someones number, you have it on the screen, go to do something, turn around and it's gone.
