thank you nui loa & mahalo very much!
i bought a microsd card so i could take longer videos, but it won't let me record longer than about 16 seconds... what gives?
i am in japan with this phone... anyone know any good apps to download before i leave? paid ones are fine - i'd like a few good games and apps... the bluetooth seems miserable on this phone - can't do anything but use it as a modem - maybe it is just my mac?
Thank you. I will update my guide shortly.. but I need to sleep right now lol.. maybe tmr :POriginally Posted by ke0la
you have to set the video mode to "long mode" not mail mode or anything like that. Take a look at my guide in the Camera Section.Originally Posted by skywalker
You should dl as much games as you can because you can't when you leave.
Bluetooth is good for A2DP and headsets as well. If you have games, it's also good to have it to play with your fellow P905iers or now.. the SH906iers.
A2DP with the Motorola S9 is fantastic!
Only slightly mobile phone obsessed.

I've seen SH905i Guide and so I thought "why not P905i guide?" So here it is. Due to the nature of this forum not allowing users to edit their post after 2 hours, I will have to keep posting newer posts to tag on new information.
This means please try not to create discussions in here and post only new tweaks that you've discovered or learned while reading the manual / from other forums or sites so I can post update and keep this thread clean.

I haven't been able to get any music on the phone so I can't say.Originally Posted by murdoc2k
Ok I got some tunes on the phone, but can't get them to play through my jawbone. I don't think there's any config setting I'm missing.
Sorry
hmm.. that's what I thought... I think we need A2DP adapter for that... but then on the manual it says A2DP cannot act as headset. I've seen an SE A2DP adapter that has a mic built in for you to talk on the phone and listen to music. I'm not sure if that works with P905i though =/Originally Posted by hakubiwashu
Yes it will. My S9 works as a headset as well. What you have to do is connect the BT headphones to both the "Audio Streaming" and "Headset" profiles. You get there by selecting the BT device under your list of, um, devices.
The Jawbone won't work as it's not an A2DP device. Some other devices can push music over the headset and/or handsfree profiles, but that's just silly. You want the A2DP profile for stereo music, and you don't get that with every BT ear-thing.
ic.. I'm interested in that headset! It looks pretty good!Originally Posted by KBoardBox
Can you write a bit on what you think of this headset? Would you recommend it? How's the sound quality in terms of voice call? Can the other person on the line hear you clearly?
