@Knight Rider, thanks for the explaination, but I believe my S853 is a fossil :) it's firmware is 164, and it is not officially sell in Indonesia, I bought it not in full condition, only with charger :( I've tried to convert but
it still corrupted, maybe you have a better mp4
converter and sample of good mp4 files? please sent me by email at bombino_corleone@yahoo.com Thanks bro..:)

About the video: Try to convert it to the screen size first... 177*220 pixels (@15-25 fps) and try to make the audio 128kb/s, if that does not work use a smaller video resolution (the next after 177*220).
Now to the firmware, how old is your phone? Do you experience a lot of crashes? If your phone is less then a year old it is still under the one year Alcatel factory warranty and then the upgrade might even be for free! Be sure to ask and mention the service center if you can still get a free upgrade due to your intact warranty (I believe the company is called Solid Vision right?). The new firmware does not give you any major new functions, but it will make the phone a bit more stable and it will not be crashing that often anymore. Also could you ask the people there what version they are on now, as I am interested where they are one year after the phones release.

It's branded by Mobistar (I'm from Belgium) It's firmware 169, I saw on the back of the phone, but am thinking of sending it to a repair shop in the Netherlands. They say they have the latest firmware release, but they don't mention which one... Is this firmware worth the 60 euros (80 dollars)?
Tnx in advance

Hey, could someone please post all the secret codes for this phone, if you might? (like reset phone, that one I found allready :o)) Oh, and how do I check which firmware version I have? I have a branded firmware, and I want to send it to the repair shop for a non branded one instead. Which firmware I should have best, the 18b, 188 or any other?
Tnx in advance

you can make your stamps with OT-S853. either with pictures you save from the mobile internet or take with camera. There is a modify option on (jpg)pictures of vga size (640*480) or smaller. One of the choice is make new stamp.
Stamp and frames can only be added to small pictures - if the picture is too large the phone will ask you to reduce with direction key (the ring around ok bottom)
the software to my alcatel ot757 has some programs to make stamps and frames (and programs to encode video and shorten ring tones (midi/mp3)). but I never succeed in installing the software to OT-S853 so I no idea of what you can do with it

it would typical for alcatel phones to be "different" in some of the advanced features/options (like network clock).
I remember from the manual of my older alcatel phones some features would only exist in a some version of the model - like the network could requested a model with network time. And some model comes sometime with an email modules in message menu (like Alcatel OT-C552)

I believe you Nelson, but I just find it weird that such an option would not be available in some models and in others it is.

I'll send you a picture of my friend's unit showing that menu. Maybe few days from now.

My first unit was a 169 and that had it too. At least... if I remember correctly.

Just try to recheck it. It might not be 177.

That's odd as I am sure it was there in my old unit.
