This is a bit confusing but are people having problems with gps detection on orange branded phones?I am considering buying a new sim free samsung i780 from expansys that is an original samsang. Would I have problems with GPS using tomtom if I bought this phone?
Thanks.

Is there anything out there at the moment with similar specs to this but with VGA screen, qwerty keyboard and 3.5mm audio jack? The i-mate Ultimate 8502 caught my attention but it hasn't got a VGA screen, forward facing camera, SDHC slot or 3.5mm audio jack. Anything in the pipeline with anything near what I want?

Ok i received my phone today at about 11:45am looks all clean and the old casing has been replaced by brand new complete casing (thats everything front, back keys, and sliver part). The phone hasn't been updated to the latest rom it hasnt been hard reset has all my old stuff on it. Does anyone recomend me updating the ROM to the latest ROM it currently has the original ROM it came with windows media player 9 which i dnt even use?

Ok the City Link status for the parcel has changed:



Should be receiving it some time today

OK I received an e-mail from HTC:


I went to the site and it said:



Also the status of my phone has changed on the HTC site:


YAY!!!

4 DAYS!! I cant believe how much i miss the phone i guess i'll have 2 wait doh

I dunno mine just says repaired and nothing else mine got fixed at 9 PM!! yesterday but still it hasn't been sent back according to the system. I'm guessing shud get it back by wednesday at the latest otherwise i'll b phoning up!

OK thx for that i sent off my phone a couple of days ago HTC have received and repaired it:
25/08/2005 14:12:44 RECEIVED
25/08/2005 20:57:30 REPAIRING
25/08/2005 21:01:39 REPAIRED

so far so good

hi ok i just need some help before i send off my c500, as it has got loads of dust and the ir dnt work and the screen randonly turns off. I would like to know:
-Should i hard reset the phone before sending 2 get rid of any software which HTC could deem illegal?
-Should i simlock the phone so only orange sims will work otherwise HTC might void the warranty?
-If HTC update the phone to the latest ROM 4.2.1.1 will i b able to sim unlock it again to use O2?

Thx for the advise!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok i changed my headset now and added the adapter straight onto the MIC part so i can use it with other earphones take a look:!

Um u need 2 have a WLAN (Wi-FI) card which usually comes in the form of a SD Card BUT the C500 uses a MINI-SD CARD which is behind the battery and so far there is nobody making MINI-SD Wi-Fi cards as they are too small some people have mentioned companies making MINI-SD Wi-Fi cards but they are slightly bigger and cannot fit in the C500 (may be with some modification of the insides) but i dunno if they will work being behind the battery and also the phone may not be able to handle the card due to limitations. But i doubt anyone can have Wi-Fi on their C500!!

Sandisk 1GB mini SD Card now available at www.blueunplugged.com for £56.66

Thanks for that but the only orange shop that i know of is in the Bullring and i think thats always busy but i might try that out still if i get the time. cheers

Hi I need help with my C500 as the dust build up is just really obscuring the screen and basically blocking the screen completely in direct sunlight, almost rendering it useless. I bought my C500 from www.mobiledealer.co.uk. I want some advice on what to do to get the problem fixed (temporally cleaned). Should I get the phone fixed (temporally cleaned) under the warranty by HTC directly or phone orange to get them to sort something out. I've had the phone since march and I phoned orange before but they just said that they cant do anything about it sorry bye! If I should get it done via HTC whats the process like can someone tell me it step by step.
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!

damn i spoke 2 soon when i pulled out the headset and put it back in while it was ringing it was ok but den i phoned it again and the problem came back again!!!!
:evil: :roll: :roll:

I CNT BELEIVE IT! after i reset my profile back 2 default i phoned my phone while listening 2 my music and i still cnt beleive it, the music stopped it played my ring tone and nothing at all came outta the loudspeaker so it seems 2 b fixed YAY!

well i changed the settings and i get a problem hahaah
the phone doesnt ring but if like u said u listening 2 music den it stops in the headset and instead it play on the loudspeaker!!!! so im worser off!!!! ARGH! lol :shock: :| :x :roll: :shock:

WOW I cant beleive it finally thx a lot GUYS works perfectly so far

WA HAY lol take a look at these lol. Had some trouble coundn't open them UP!!! so i had 2 cut the wire from the outside made some cosmetic damages though but sound super duuper

I tried my GPRS when i first got my phone about 3 weeks ago and it charged me, but now i used it and it didnt charge me lol i thought O messed up and gave me free GPRS i hope it still free after the 30th becuase it did charge me b4 so it must hav F*cked up plzzz. I used it bare times especially 4 radio streaming it aint slow on ma phone i can stream HOT 108 JAM which is 128 bitrate without any stopping wotsoevea

anyone got any ideas on how to actually seal the screen off properly rather than keep opening the phone each time dust accumulates? i aint read the whole topic so sorry if someone already posted something :roll:

Hey im new to this forum just registered after i bought my C500 which arrived Saturday morning. I heard about the dust issue before hand but never heard anything as bad as on this forum. I had the phone for almost 3 days and got to say it is brilliant phone with no major issues apart from **cough** windows based operating system . There is only a single speckle of dust which is in the left middle part of the screen and only noticable when the screen is darker i.e. black. Im pressuming my phone is the phrased "2nd Generation" C500 ( it is the black model ) as it has noticable dust in the corners of the screen. I bought the phone off the net but I am jus wondering if anyone knows how to open the phone so i could have a look at the problem and try to fix it myself as it seems many people are still having problems with replacment phones. Im sure i could solve the problem myself but would this affect the warranty at all and if it did would it be worth sorting the problem myself to sacrifice the warranty?

Thanks for the advice!!!!!!! :shock:
