Re: k790a/k800i
Umm, yeah. That's why the FIRST thing I included was reception :roll:
Re: K790 can you shut off shutter sound and flash?
Same problem as who? I never said that I have this problem. All I do is slide open the lens cover and push the * key to switch flash settings, which are: Auto, Red-eye, and OFF
Re: K790 can you shut off shutter sound and flash?
Flash can be disabled.
Shutter sound is just like the K750 where it depends on the region of the firmware if it can be set to silent. K790a can't, some K790i's can and some can't.
Re: k790a/k800i
Yes there is a difference bw these two phones...

The main difference is reception, EDGE, and 3G.
Re: Where is the Video Calling?
It doesn't have it cause US carriers don't support video calling yet. Even if you got the K800i, it won't work when we get UTMS cause we'll be on 1900 UTMS and not 2100.
What "other" features is it missing?
Re: reception?????
The reception is excellent. I can't compare to the w810i, but since it is also 850MHz and 1900MHz, I'm sure they are very close.
Re: Buying Unlocked Phones
Here's what you should do:
Buy the phone unlocked from a reputable store. Try not to use ebay because if you need to return the phone for a defect it will be a long process since you will have to go through SE.
Next, figure out the highest value "free" phone that Cingular offers.
Sign up.
Sell the free phone on Craigslist.com
Sonystyle stores will be the last to get the newest mobile phones. It's not too high on their priority list, from ...
Re: Current phone
If the walkman feature is more important, then get a W810i or wait for the W850i. If the camera is more important, then get the K790. All of these are significant upgrades to your phone, but it comes down to what's worth it to you. :wink:
Re: It is hard for me to want this the k790/k800
The 3G aspect of the K800i only works on 2100 UTMS and the US 3G will be on 1900. So you won't be able to utilize that aspect of the phone here.
Re: Will K800 work with TMobile USA?
T-Mobile only roams on 850 band. So unless you are in the boonies a lot then this shouldn't be a deciding factor for you. (check the coverage maps to be sure)
If you use the phone to get online, then you should not get the K800i and get either the K790i or K790a as both of these use EDGE high speed data transfer (which Tmo uses).
:wink:
Re: playing MP3 from phone through car stereo
It should play just fine through your car stereo. The adapter that you need depends on your car stereo. I'm thinkin you either need one with rca jacks or one with 3.5mm jack.
The answer to your other question depends on the average size of your mp3's and how much space you have left on your phone...do the math :wink:
Re: Information Help
It allows the phone to be hooked up to a TV so you can look at pics, vids, etc.
Re: 2 GB TransFlash
They are wrong. This phone can support 1gb. It works fine for me and I have heard of many others using it just fine. You are the second that I've heard that 2gb doesn't work for. Weird that it can't handle it.
Re: Help me PLease
If the phone doesn't even see the file is there, then you have to make the file name shorter. For some reason long file names cause this.
If you phone can't play the file, then you are not formatting properly. The only files that the phone can read are 3gp and mp4, of which the latter is better quality.
Re: Help me PLease
Go to phone settings > usb > set to "mass storage"
Then you transfer using the usb cable, and copy and paste your files into the card.
Another faster way would be to take the card out and use a card reader.
Re: Information Help
1. Allows the phone to be used by any carrier that supports the same frequencies that the phone does.
2. From what I've read, in north america, it isn't important. On the other hand, some places like freemycell.com can flash without corrupting your imei, so you might as well save it if you can...just in case :wink:
3. Use a USB Flash cable or a serial flash cable and proper software.
4. Yes
5. Lots...like use picsel document viewer, mp3 ringtones, ...

Re: K790a is out on amazon
I forgot to give the link :roll: :D
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HC QKTG/sr=8-2/qid=1155186524/ref=sr_1_2/103-548 1444-6034231?redirect=true&ie=UTF8
:wink:
K790a is out on amazon
It ships in 1-2 weeks. Let's hope this phone is finally gettin released! :wink:
$479 is steep, but I'm not suprised since it was just released. I'm thinkin in the next 2-3 weeks the price will drop to around $400 and stablize just like the K790i
Re: Secret Menu
Unfortunately not.
I've heard that if you flash your phone to the D820 the ascending is not as bad cause it's a lot quicker.
Re: HELP PLEASE
I would think that there would be a "games" folder or "other" folder that should work?
Try different folders that are there or maybe create one on the memory card.
Which way are you trying to transfer? to the phone memory with the phone set to modem using PC Suite... or memory card using the phone set as mass storage?
Re: HELP PLEASE
Stoked!!! 8O :o :D :wink:
Re: HELP PLEASE
I've already answered this before....no it doesn't.
Re: HELP PLEASE
1. Once the vid is playing, press the 1 key
2. The volume up/dn will zoom in on pics. I've found that it only works on pics taken with the camera though, not downloaded ones.
3. I would think that you could just copy and paste them into the folder? I haven't tried this since the T809 doesn't support apps.
Re: HELP PLEASE
I don't. Google is your friend.
Have you tried the PC Suite? I know that can edit mp3's, maybe it can edit video too.
Re: HELP PLEASE
It was the whole thing. It's 43 minutes long. I haven't tried anything longer, like a full movie.
Have you converted smaller clips that worked? Like a music video or something?
Re: Secret Menu
Those are what worked for me. No problems as of yet :wink:
Re: Secret Menu
Do these at your own risk 8O
One small mistake and your only choice will be to do a Master Reset and pray :wink:
Type in *#8999*8378# to get into the menu. Note, when you key in 8378, they will appear as ---- on your screen...this is normal. No need to hit send or anything. Once you type the correct code, you're in!
Then go to Hardware test, then Audio
Here's the ONLY settings that I ...
Re: HELP PLEASE
I have some stand up comedy on mine. The largest is 151385 kb (151 mb). You file is probably twice the size of mine or even more. My files were originally avi and I converted to mp4
Two things that might help:
-Split your movie into 3 or 4 parts
-Downsize the video biterate and the audio biterate
If those don't change anything then try converting something else cause there's something about this file that your phone doesn't like.
Good Luck!
Re: HELP PLEASE
Giving you what I have on my memory card isn't going to help you figure out what you are doing wrong. Also, you need to be way more descriptive in what you are doing for anyone to be able to help you out.
Re: HELP PLEASE
1. ???
2. I posted here before exactly how I encode my movies. When I play mine, they play right away.
3. I haven't flashed my phone yet, but I have already posted where you can get the answer to your question.
ps the spell check button is there for a reason :wink:
Re: HELP PLEASE
You get them on your phone by bluetooth, usb, card reader...take your pick.
GIF's used as wallpapers need to be less than 300kb
Re: Help with the MP3 player please
When using the PC Suite you must first set your phone to modem for the computer to recognize the phone. This puts files into the phone memory. (phone settings -> USB settings)
To put files directly into the memorycard, you must set your phone to mass storage. Then you can connect your phone and use it as a storage device without having to use the PC Suite.
Re: SGH-D82 firmware
You can't use a usb. You need to use a serial cable to flash this phone.

Re: picture shutter noise...wheres silent?
The T809 does NOT have this option.
Re: D820 vs T809
It can vibe and ring, just not at the same time. It vibes 3 times then rings just like the T809. I'm pretty sure that's what you were asking anyways. I haven't seen anyone who likes the vibe then ring. This is such a poor feature.
From what most are saying, the D820 still ascends the ringtones but not nearly as bad. It starts low but gets to normal loudness real quick, so it's not such ...
Re: Pictures and Video to Tflash card..???
At least once you get this figured out, you are going to be a pro! :wink:
One thing I noticed is that you are converting to 3gp format. The phone can play this obviously, but mp4 format is much better (which is what my settings are for). Are you using my settings with the 3gp format? That might not work because 3gp will require lower settings because it is lower quality.
Re: Pictures and Video to Tflash card..???
That's strange. Maybe you are using the trial version of the ImToo3gp and it won't let you convert large files? Try to check that you aren't using a trial version of the software. Other than that, I'm not sure what you're doing wrong?
Re: Concerened.....should I stick with my V360 or get the T809
Actually, I can confirm that the T809 can use a 1g b card.
