isnt it harmful to flash the software of the phone? (ie. void warranty)

also, the firmware posted here doesnt affect the phone badly?

      There is NO free Route 66 maps on the internet.

      You can find Garmin XT which is just as good but uses more battery.

        Three simple questions.

        1) Where can I get a FREE copy of Route 66 for my INNOV8, It did not come with it :(
        2) Is there a way to set up reminder beeps if a text or missed call message is not opened. My old U600 had the option.
        3) In Message details, for text message, it shows the time, but behind by several hours. The time zone on the phone, calendar and clock are all correct.

        Help with these would be greatly appreciated.

And you've tried sending different files through and have the same result every time? Hmmmmmm....... Have you tried your sim in a different handset? If you can receive the same MMS without any propblems on a different handset, then it's definitely not a network/provider issue and would then certainly be a problem with the Innov8......perhaps a firmware update would solve that.....the link and instructions for firmware updates have been posted here a few times, just scroll down and you should see it.

            Hope this helps

                As a guess, I'd say the file you are trying to receive may be corrupt.

                Try and send a different pic to your phone, if that goes thru OK, then it's definitely a problem with the specific file you're receiving. If you have the same problem it may be a good idea to then remove and re-install you operators MMS settings

                        My settings are a bit different but I still get great battery life now.

                        Today I tested my Jabra 620 Bluetooth stereo headphones out while biking around the forest here in Holland.

                        They work fantastic with the music player. My player is Power MP3 which is better than the one built in.

                        I have a playlist with about 500 oldies from the 60's and 70s and play that. with one tap on the left earpiece I can advance to the next song. with one tap on right ear piece I can answer a call and talk while biking. The music begins agin when I hang up.

                        The Route 66 Nav system voice is also loud and clear.

                        For those of you who don't have bluetooth STEREO headset, its well worth buying some because they work great with this phone. A2DP.

                        Range is about 20 feet away from phone

                          Your second question,,
                          Menu >>settings >>settings>>general >>personalisation >>display >>all your customisation is there.

                          My settings are below but you choose your own,,the longer you leave backlight it does decrease battery time..

                          auto brightness>> off
                          power saving mode>> on
                          brightness level>> 50%
                          auto pivot>> off
                          font size>> small
                          welcome note/logo>> default
                          light time out>> 20 seconds
                          dim time >> 5 seconds

                          Auto pivot switches off your auto screen rotation so switch on if you use it,,
                          Do switch auto brightness off as i believe and others that it uses more battery than it saves,,

                            This is my battery invention to last longer... i fully charge battery,,then leaving charger plugged in i set off a video on repeat direct from real player app..After a while the battery meter starts going up and down as if charging,,which it is..You then keep up this till the battery meter stops wich for me was 9 hrs later ..Then away you go with strong battery..

                            P.S. best do it over night like i did..

                              So to sum up the above,,go to message settings and set your mms and email settings to send immedeatly..

                              If that fails are you signed up to any mms alerts cause i am a nd they come in on there own,,it does seem an app is trying to connect somewhere along the line..

                              The vid/sync issues is happening in the hd recording in i8910 as well,,its a rudy pain and should be solved by now ,it obvious that its recording the audio easily but taking a microsecond longer to record the picture/video but on windows media apps you can adjust this audio sync issue in the applications ,but, i cannot find a media player with this setting for symbian,,yet??

                                for those doing the firmware upgrade,..........follow the steps EXACTLY as stated in the instructions.

                                Its getting tiring repeating myself over and over. Its simple if you READ and follow the instructions. Read ALL the posts at that llink. There is a you Tube showing your how also.

                                Thats all I have to say ...............

                                  Peter, please read thru ALL the posts here. I hate to repeat myself but I also had bad battery UNTIL I upgraded the firmware.

                                  Please people, read thru the posts ,,,,,,,,,,most of you answers are already here.

                                  As for Nav screen not on all the time that is in the software. I use Route 66 and one of the options is SCREEN ON always.,

                                  Hope that helps and good luck.
