          maddox, 28 Jun 2009Hi guys, I'd just like to ask, does the 'events' widget alw... moredrag the "NO EVENTS" widget from the main screen to the widget toolbar. it appears like a "!" (exclamation mark) symbol.
          now this will no more disturb u. however this thing always comes at the top of the toolbar whenever a message or missed call is received, even if u drag it to the bottom of the toolbar, it shall come on top again.

                hi all, i've found a way to multi-task with this fone.
                i don't know how much RAM it has but u can do a fair amount of multi-tasking with it.

                here goes the steps:
                1.first u should have found out by now how to use the "GESTURE LOCK" feature in this set. this is the trick.

                2.assign alphabets for the applications (from the phone settings) if u have not yet done so.

                3.multi-task using the hold key.

                suppose u have "MY FILES" opened.

                1.now press the hold key once. the screen locks but the backlight is on. make a gesture alphabet on the screen (let's say for the browser).

                2.open a page, and as the page loads, press the HOLD key again and type the music player gesture symbol. start a song.

                3.Press the HOLD key again and type the symbol for, say JAVA. u can play a game. now press the HOLD key again and open the music player. change the song.

                4.pressing the BACK key takes u back to the previous application. now close the game using the BACK key.u shall see ur browser page loaded by then.

                5.continue like this and u can multi-task. but yes the fone shall slow down while multi-tasking.

                  Hi guys, I'd just like to ask, does the 'events' widget always have to stay in the middle of the screen? When I try to move it some other place it does but when I get a message, it moves back to the middle. Even when I placed it on a different widget screen when I get a message it moves to the active screen that I'm using.

                  And also in having multiple numbers in your contacts, how do you display which number they are using when they SMS you?

                                  I hate the way its so easy to accidently lock the screen, why when they produced it didnt they make it so it locked after 3 seconds of holding in the lock button instead of locking it immediately?

                                        anonymous, 27 Jun 2009Hi , have you tried flashing without bootfiles ?Hi concerning bootfiles, here's my tip:

                                        If you flash often a new firmware, just to try and perhaps flash back to the previous one, so you're a freak, don't flash bootfiles. Because the probability of problems while flashing naturally increases with number of flashings.
                                        If you flash rarely and are not a pro but more a newbie, you can flash them.
                                        But if somebody has problems with the bootfiles as santhosh mentioned, it's no problem NOT to flash them.
                                        Just click "full download", don't select anything in the "Boot"-box.
