Guest Feidhlim Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 :/ any chance you guys can help? having been stupid enough to do hard reset and not know a single word of chinese i eventually got my settings back to english... THE REASON I HARD RESET is cause everytime i turn on the phone i get an alert, all in what i presume is chinese (the only english word being "sim") basically i cant recieve text messages because of it. and its very very annoying. can anyone help me? any advice would be much appreciated. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Feidhlim Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 how ironic, now i "seems" stupid. errr, anyone with edit perms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Feidhlim Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 i have to stop replying to my own thread... how do i de-cert my phone? the coolsmartphones link is dead and there doesnt seem to be any other tutorials around. <---- n00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Feidhlim Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 oh, and that first problem- i cant recieve calls now too, well, i get them, but then it just cancels the call after about 3 seconds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Feidhlim Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 it MUST be just a dodgy .cab i installed or something like that, and my hard reset doesnt seem to make a difference so i thought it could be my Mem card. i took that out and still got that alert... can someone upload all their windows files or something? i am seriously desperate here... :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Feidhlim Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 so desperate, i drew out the chinese symbols in paint. im sure there is a way i could have copied the screen but hell, im a n00b, and this way is much more fun. :D i have no doubt that those of you who speak chinese will struggle to read this, but translation would be much appreciated...chinese.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martin Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 That is wicked :D Could it be that you have a faulty SIM card. Have you tried taking the battery off and re-seating the SIM ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Feidhlim Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 yeah, tried all that. and put my sim into another phone and i got messages fine. this is really annoying me... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martin Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Here's a long shot. mikevirgil made a post to a chinese forum - see this topic http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=110303 If you could get a screengrab of the message then maybe you could post it there and see if anyone replies. If we can find out what the message is then we could maybe help. * For screen capture try smartSS from http://www.louterrailloune.com/smartss.html If all else fails then you could always try your local chinese takeaway :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest martin Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 OK, but if not then you could also try http://www.ppcsg.com/forums/index.php It's an English speaking site for the xphone and there looks to be a few chinese speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martin Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Just had a thought :D Using your other phone try and delete some SMS messages and contacts stored on your SIM card and then try it in the MIO again. It could be trying to store something on the SIM and it full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Feidhlim Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 damn good idea. tried it there and no sooner do i put my sim back into my phone that the battery goes on me. :/ my smartphone still isnt that smart... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest poodoo Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Aw. If you write that to my chinese teacher, he probably wants to meet your parents :D . I can't make out the words you write (sorry) but maybe u can take a screen with SmartSS so that i can translate. It can be found at dear monolithix's http://www.monolithix.org/SPV_software.html http://www.monolithix.org/SPV_software.html You might need to decert your phone 1st. To decert your mio( i think its unlock right?), go here: http://www.mio-tech.com Go to the global site and click on that unlock 8380/8390 button. Can't get you a direct link cuz the site is down now. Amazing services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Horace Lee Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Hi, Feidhlim....It seems like the SIM slot loses its sense....You can firstly try to fill up something between the SIM card and battery, like papers, so that the SIM can contact with the slot perfectly....if it has no effect, you will have to contact with the manufacturer to help check the SIM slot.....^^...just for your reference. The chinese you saw after booting up the smartphone maybe the warning that smartphone cannot detect the SIM card inserted....^^ Hope it is helpful....

Guest skyline_gtr Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 HAHAHAHHAHAH i tried to make out the words but i dont understand it.... if you can get a more accurate thingy then i can help you.... actually does it look something like this? if yes then.....no sim card inserted *edit* i know why your phone showed that...you set your phone to the usa region....and english language....and since....smartphones are stupid...it cant decode chinese error messages....this explains the square boxes...error.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Feidhlim Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 cheers guys! martins idea worked. i deleted the messages in my inbox when they COULD be viewed in another phone, that cleared it all up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
