v400 oddities after v600 conversion - GSM-Forum

ronnyek · 02-12-2004, 05:48

I was curious if anyone had these problems after converting their vxxx phones to v600's...

Camera occasionally stops allowing you actually take the picture...

the picture shows up, but no capture.. turn on/off phone and it works aain

Battery charges appear to last quite a bit less ( or this could be freakish battery life problems...)

I charge it up, then by the end of the day, I've lost one full bar of battery life.

Any information for me?

I've turned off personal light thingy thats on the flio of the v600 thinking that it may be the cause but I dont know.

i did my v300 with the firmware and the flex.
the camera doesnt work after i call out.
the battery doesnt seem to last as long, but maybe its the meter.
it seems to go down to one bar quick, but then it stays at one bar for a long time.

have you seen anyway to possibly fix those problems without turning the phone on and off?

I am going to try and swap a battery out to see if it fixes anything.

just as an example, my phone was fully charged this morning and is to one bar right now... no extensive use or anythign.

yeah but how long till it shuts off?
so far mine has been on since this morning, and is at one bar left, but been like that for hours.

could be, but before I could get at least 2-3 days out of a charge, not even hitting 1bar down until mid second day.

If you disable GPRS, you will have a longer battery.

Other than having that feature removed from my account, how would I achieve this?

Could anyone tell me (or direct me to) some clear directions for flashing/flexing a v500 to a v600? I've searched the forum, and everyone talks about doing it, but I can't find any directions (at least in English) other than on MOTclub, and they say you end up with a vodafone locked phone using their directions, which I do not want, as I have an unlocked v500.

I don't actually have the phone or cable with me just yet, but should be getting them within the week, I'm just trying to figure out how to do this, step by step, before then. I have PST 6.7 and TRIPLETS_G_0B.09.1DR yada yada .shx file, then yes, I have it too (from v525.com, I also downloaded the .rar files from MOTclub, but apparently need a password to compile them...not sure, as the program I'm using is in spanish too) What I'm looking for is step by step directions, as I did for the Siemens S40 (http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=95501) Is it as simple as running the program and flashing the firmware? the directions I found on MOTclub that had been translated made it sound quite difficult to do (having to copy and rename files at certain times to trick the phone into uploading the V600 firmware, plus it said it would be locked) I'm willing to do this, I just want to know what method most people used (especially the one's who have succesfully done this and ended up with an unlocked phone). Thanks

its the firmware from motclub thats causing those problems i think.

It's the new firmware it works fine. The only "trouble" in this firmware is MMS profile are full, but we discovered for removing this profiles with PST flex programmer. How to do that is in the guide too.

Motclub firmware had several mistakes (camera, battery, ...)
