aba, 31 Jan 2009thanks coreSOLO for u're answer
but sorry I've 2 more ques... moreummm i dont really get what do you mean by restore, do you mean a master reset? I hope you know this, but let me restate just in case...
In modding you will have to reflash your phone with a modified firmware, its just like reinstalling Windows on your computer. However when it comes to cellphones, modding should be done with utmost care. Modders do not keep phone settings in modified firmwares to make them generic, so you will have to reenter those settings manually after installing new firmware.
Once you install a modified firmware on your cell, normally you can not go back to your previous (factory) firmware and settings even if you do a master reset of your phone.
So before modding, just know what you are doing, read the features and reviews of the modified firmware and take help from the modding community.
On GSMArena, we can not help you much with modding, better check out MMUS dot US forums, its the best modding community for E8. But your generic questions and views are more than welcome here. Good luck :)

I sometimes receive messages that are combined with another messages w/c makes it really confusing. Its not a major problem though but id always have to ask the sender to resend the message for me to understand it. is this a network problem or a problem with the phone itself?

When you install a mod, it automatically deletes your previous settings and data. So no matter you delete your settings and data before installing a mod or not, the mod will itself do it for you.
But you will have to backup your data and settings so that you can reconfigure your phone after a mod is installed. Apart from backing up files on phone, phonebook and messages, do remember to note down your SMS, MMS, GPRS and network settings.
Detail backup guides are available on modding forums. I suggest "mmus dot us".

With regards to the "message sending" shown while messaging, mine only appears when I MMS or SMS to too many people at one go. I would say overall, it rarely happens and probably network dependent instead of the phone's internal matter. In my country, some phone network providers are not very efficient as compare to others, during peak periods, the less efficient ones take longer time interval before their subscribers could receive messages.

lay, 30 Jan 2009sometimes i receive my text messages a day or 2 lateI think your issue is more of a network problem. What happened to me twice was other messages came in mixed with another message. But it never happened again so I think it's all about the network. :)

Mine does sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. IMHO,it depends on signal strength and message length.

In camera mode, choose settings - camera settings - picture settings - shutter tone and switch it to off. I've had a Motorola C650, and yeah, I was able to turn the sound off too.

I have this phone for 4 months now. I 've been wanting tomod it but afraid of messing it up. Hahaha. Maybe after a year. So far, I am contented with its radio and 400 songs saved in it.

Please do not say that you should stay away from the E8 because not all E8 units are messed up by T-Mobile.
===========================
Oops my bad jjsoviet, it was just a relative comparison of the bad E8 units. I didnt mean that ALL T-Mobile units are bad. What I meant was if we collect the under performing units and unsatisfied customers, most of them refers to the T-Mobile version. Sorry if it was not clear :P

Remember that T-Mobile E8's are the ones that do not perform well. Other E8 units perform solidly.

Hi guys, missed the posts for some time. Regarding all the problems in E8, you will be surprised to know that most of them corresponds to the T-Mobile versions of E8. T-Mobile has done an terrific job of messing up an otherwise awesome set.
In modding community, a lot of T-Mobile users have reflashed their sets with unbranded stock (unmodded) firmwares or switched to an unbranded E8.
Its really sad that such a nice set has been misinterpreted due to third party issues including bad firmwares and expired contracts. The real E8 luxury can be well experienced with a stock E8.

i got this phone . i am not that happy. i had problem with battery. also phone freezes. i think something wrong with operating system or phone phone itself is no good. it is very hard to deal with t-mobile. actually fighting with them is not not enough. my suggestion is, stay away from this phone. it has a good reception but only when it works. so, go figure it.
