This phone is not what its hyped up to be, it has a very bad flunctuating signal even though at times phone shows 5 bar signal calls go voice mail, camera is decent, but phone wise most depressing pile of you know !
At least if you already own it you can st least have fun scanning business cards no other decent purpose even the mp3 stinks.and so does the rediculos video recording.

      to P990NK

      hi. this is the same person

      anyway, its ok to charge your P990i everyday but that should not be the case.
      i normally charge it every 2 days. if im not using it that much, around 3 days.

      i suggest you fully drain your battery (like it will not turn on anymore) then racharge it fully. to this cycle twice or three times. this will help you maximize the battery especially if its new and out of the box which is recommended. after the 3 full drain and full charge cycle, you can charge your phone normally even if its not fully drained yet.

      for the time during sleep mode, i havent tried it yet and i think there's no option to do that (as far as i know). this will help save battery as well because if in case there's an option to display clock in sleep mode, the screen is still working and consuming battery energy. nothing is displayed on the screen during sleep mode hence it was called "sleep mode".

      if you really want to see the clock or time, you can just press any key on the number pad and it will activate the screen again for a while. or you can turn off power save mode so that the phone always show the display, but it will sacrifice battery life.

      there might be a software or some type of screensaver that we p990i users can install which shows the clock. this could be a third party software.

        @USMAN
        P990 is better than n73Me, N73 is good for capturing images and music, but it often hangs and opening an application is very slow, i sold my n73me to purchase p990, and im very happy with it. but the camera and music of n73 is way better than p990. overall, p990 wins

                            to P990NK

                            you can increase battery life by
                            1) disabling Wireless LAN.
                            2) make sure Bluetooth is not ON all the time as well.
                            3) adjust screen brightness (control panel) from its default 90% down to 50% or as low as how much you can tolerate.
                            4) make sure Power save is enabled (control panel, Devices)

                                Honestly ,

                                I think it is wrong to update to the latest version ; R9G007
                                Its restart many times if you want to synchronize

                                by the way , how we can get use of the "Payment transactions" ? or what the use of it ?
