Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

search the forums. there are a good few posts on reflashing. think there is also tutorials?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Yeah I've found a few. Bit quick off the mark asking for help, just hacked off at the moment!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Flashing appears to have fixed! Relieved but it doesn't fill me with confidence!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

im gonna go pick mine up today too :) See my sig for why i was not impressed!!
Anyhow, hope we both get fully working devices. i'll be crushed if i have a bad mic, reboots, or sluggish performance.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Hey! First problem with N900. Anyone had their wallpaper freeze yet. I cant change the image on one of the screens.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Having major problems trying to get a RAN to return my N900, anyone else not getting a response?

Phone was attempted delivery last Friday, picked up and signed for on Tuesday. Doesn't fit my requirements, as I've got to have better sat nav, and it's bulky. And the contract is too expensive to justify these shortcomings. So according to their return policy I can send back within 7 days of receiving.

Every day I've tried ringing the 0845 number but no answer. I emailed them Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. On the Thursday I rang Nokia Retail in Newbury. They couldn't help and gave me a direct MPD number. This went to the shop floor, the guy who answered said he couldn't help cos it wasn't faulty. Said the only way I can get an RMA is to email them. He said he'd email them too. I rang T-mobile on Thursday too to notify them of the situation and they made a note on my account that MPD were fobbing me off, as evidence if needed later, but as it's through a 3rd party they couldn't cancel the contract.

Still no responses....and no answer on the phone this morning.

Anyone any suggestions?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

It's here, and no complaints at all. Happily charging, makes calls over WiFi and my old orange SIM. No dead pixels.
No contact from Vodafone as of yet, but I'm happy as larry anyway :-)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Email the CEO of MPD karl.borges@mobilephonesdirect.co.uk - many people as well as me have found this works to kick things.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Thanks, have done that, will see what response I get!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

So Ordered from MPD on Monday, arrived about an hour ago. Box was very cold, obviously been sitting in cold van overnight, will wait for a couple of hours for it to aclimatise to warm house before I turn it on, just in case of condensation.:D

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

got mine now no problems so far everything working fine
the mobile internet is fast as hell aswell no lagging or waiting at all

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Got mine this morning!

Just trying to work out how to use it now :)

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Everything OK here as well. I have not tried data on 3G as Vodafone account will be activated on Monday and use old simcard which I do not have data allowance. But with wifi usage no problems so far.

One thing that I cannot find is how to display the battery life and sound volume level in terms of percentage as opposed to a bar level in which you cannot see accurately the level. Or perhaps it's an omission?

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

i just had a freaky moment!!
turned off the device, and it didn't want to turn back on!!

luckily it only lasted 2 mins, and then it decided it would!! phew!!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

it's an ommision. there is a way in xterm to do it. but i think there is also an app in development. so not to far away.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Update.

Walked into the Reading shop today. They said they can cancel my online order and supply me with the mother of all phones (N900) immediately, however, as the guy was running my details into the system, he said that the webshop still hasn't updated my credit check, meaning, I'm back to square one; waiting for the bloody webshop to sort it out!!!!

I am totally fed up.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

wise decision, someone on here put theres in a cat basket to warm theres up............

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I've had no response since sending for replacement.

Ive sent 3 emails requesting information on their repairs/replacement procedure and have had nothing back.

TBH I doubt they are in tomorrow but I would've expected a reply, possibly even a new device today. sent it RMSD thursday and should have reached them on friday, so they would turn it on, see it doesnt work, post me a new tablet. Seems simple but I cant see how this is taking this long.

@rawutt
Ive also had my voda contract started. Ive had to unlock my old n96 which cost me another £15.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

No delivery for me or e-mails, though its been 'ready to dispatch' since Friday. I don't understand why they haven't posted it on Friday, but maybe this is to do with RM special delivery now being different for a Saturday delivery (sure things used to just turn up as usual - seems to be something extra now).

Anyway, was passing so just went into Southampton MPD store to see if they happened to have my package and they said 'they are all posted from a central office' - shows how little they know! TBH they seemed a bit grumpy so I didn't bother asking if they would do me one over the counter - I don't think they would have anyway. Back to waiting for post now and the irritating problem of having to wait 24 hours before collection if I get a slip through the door.

I did get my hands on the dud demo unit in store and it seems spot-on what I expected from that. Soooo looking forward to this thing turning up!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

well iwent and picked mine up from where it was delivered in error. it cost me 36.70 in train fare but its well worth it! pictures to follow.

posted from my shiney new n900 :D

agian, posted from my n900. i love this thing! its so awesome!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

hehe, great pic!!!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

thanks noobmonkey.
oh i just noticed i forgot to draw my avatars beard haha.
this thing is already coming in really handy. the trains are all messed up but the n900 comes to the rescue with up to date travel info. even foumd out what platform my train is on before i got here to make my connection.

this is truely a fantastic device. cant understand why some people such as "megacrazy" slag it off so much. i thiink its a masterpiece of hardware and software engineering.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

i agree so much.it truely is great. just seems to do everything i need it too at the moment!l

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

I just fetched mine back from Nokia repair today. they couldn't start it by reflashing it so it is dead. I mailed MPD on Wednesday to ask them to send me a returns code in case this happened but still haven't had an answer. You can't believe how totally f'd off I am now.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

NBG, Mine ended up dying completely, (It bricked) got an returns number from MPD (rang them) and was told to send it back you have to pay postage and they'll refund it. Had a moment of genius and took it to local shop where they changed it straight away.

This one works fine.

The manger tried to switch it on, and it was still bricked.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

oh dear lord i'd be spitting molten lava at mpd if that happened to me.

i feel for you, i really do. id be so wound up!

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

picked mine up thismorning its great never rebooted ect but does have 1 dead pixel in the screen you cant even see it 90% of the time only when theres a black screen still though not something i expect on a brand new phone.
i dont know if i should return it just for this after all the trouble i had getting it
also isnt it suppose to go to auto phone mode when you turn it upright mine doesnt and its a hassle going through the menu to phone

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Go to the phone application and touch the top bar. Last option should be the one you are looking for. Roughly translated from finnish it should be something like accelerometer options or something similar.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

yeah found it thanks

have many other people got dead pixels ??

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Whats everyones battery life like?
After about 12 hours of casual use mine was on 50%

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

You could put a shortcut to calls on 1 of your 4 desktops?:D

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

well i only got mine today and ran it off the factory charge. lasted about 5 hours with it constantly swotching between 2g, 3g and 3.5g. i dont really find this surprising tho. gonna give it a proper try on a full charge tomorrow.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

think it has that short cut by default doesnt it? pretty sure mine did.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Me too I got one or two dead pixels in one spot don't know whether to return it or not..

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

Press the off button once and go to PHONE for ease of finding, and to set auto open when rotate when in phone click on Phone title at the top click turning control tick launch by turning set orientation to automatic.

Re: Mobile Phones Direct N900 Customers
 

TBH i'd give it a chance. my old n82 had a stuck pixel from new. was always green. after i forgot about it (took maybe a couple days) i didnt ever really notice it. tho i guess its easy for me to say that since mine has no obvious dead pixels.

but hey, aint this device totally orgasmically amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
