M600i Bug List

[skagen]

An insignificant but annoying problem...

1) an alarm is automatically set and shows the alarm icon on the main screen. It goes off. Even if I click on it, and turn the alarm off, the icon still remains on the main screen and the alarm still goes off. It is always set at 6:30 PM. If I change the time, turn the phone off and on, it is reset to 'on' at 6:30. I have the most recent firmware.

It is not a bug, its a feature...its a helper for screen recognition writing. You will write numbers above, capitals aligned and small letters below.

Yes you can turn it off.

I think it can be done (disappear) when you disable the jot function

[Andresin]

Yes you can turn it off.

Control Panel -> Device -> Text Input -> Handwriting -> Input method -> Keyboard only

Hi all,
If you turn off the handwriting recognition it speeds the phone up as long as you don't use it of course. I use the stylus and on screen keyboard and the word predication is very good. I highly recommend SwissManger that is a free app that helps mange memory and shut down running apps to free Ram. I also don't advise adding anything you really don't need either that does seems to be where the problems start IMO. Upgrade to the latest firmware available and forget the Symbian of old this new version requires some memory management to run smoothly IMO but can be done. I am very happy with mine and love its size and performance especially hooked up to the HBH-DS970's the sound is outstanding i also have had no problems with battery life either.

Aside from the repeated crashing, here's some bugs I've noticed which are completely driving me spare:

My phone was purchased in Hong Kong due to a shortage in the UK

1. GPRS doesn't work (O2 UK)
2. Even though I've selected English as the language, cantonese and mandarine text input options remain. If I try to use the AWFUL handwriting recognition and accidentally switch to cantonese, it overrides the UK keyboard input and UK characters won't work.
3. My time zones keep switching, as a result the alarm that's supposed to wake me up gets reset and doesn't go back to it's original time: thanks UIQ3, for making me up a 1:45pm not 6:45am.
4. 3g and MP4 video playback is rubbish; takes about 3 minutes to start playing and stutters all the time.
5. MP3 ordering by NAME not track number; no album art; seems to mess up on VBR encoded mp3.
6. Java apps have uninstalled themselves after removing M2 card and putting in again.
7. SMS often thinks that a 60 char text will take 3 messages to send; and then sends even though I say NO do not send.
8. Changing the theme doesn't always result in all elements of the theme being changed.
9. Phone stops playing music if I leave the music player without going through task manager.

None of these render the phone unusable, just make it unreliable and not worth the money I paid for it.

Hi Shig2k1,
Sorry hear of your troubles but a lot of what you are saying has been fixed in the latest firmware which is R9a so would strongly advise updating. Re 4 a lot has to do with the conversion software you use and the settings i have loads of films and videos converted to 3gp with Media Studio for Nokia and all run fine. Re 5 use the Disc2Phone software and you can even encode @192Kbps which is great quality and will keep both album and track tags. Can't help on Java apps as have not added any, would also advise installing Swiss Manager that is a free program and much better than the built in task manager as IMO it is necessary to help the phone run smoothly as memory management is necessary with UIQ3. I must say i have had my phone for a few weeks now and have had no freezes crashes or any other problems to be honest. Its just not the bit of kit i expected and has been related to 2nd phone and is used mainly as Music Player as with the HBH-DS970's the sound is really good, Calendar, Photo Album and lastly phone. I am afraid even though it is much larger and heavier my N93 does everything else much better IMO.

sounds like you need a firmware update...

[Shig2k1]

Thanks for your advice guys; I will see about the latest firmware and let you know how I get on with it. After playing with my phone I've had 4 friends decide to buy one, so I don't think the guys at SE are going to have a problem selling more!
