close all applications from the task manager in order not to restart it self for ex:
when you start the music player or the control panel or anything else even if you close it, it stays run in the backround so you must go to the task manager-open and close all running apps and your phone will never restart it self and it will be a good thing to turned it off every couples of dayz to improve preformance.
any quistions about the P990i i'll be happy to help.

        Also check your time zones! Because it can also be a problem with this.

            hi

            thats not true. I have the latest firmware. R9ec001. I still face problems with my alarm. All the alarms that i had set up at different times since 3 months of buying this phone, goes on everyday at those particular times to when it was set. I am really pissed with the whole thing. Thats the only problem i have had with this phone. Can anyone please help.

            Thankyou

            Ravi

                Hi Guys,

                How can I check what firmware my phone has? I did the SE software upgrade already but the phone still a bit slow and I can find what firmware my phone has on the phone. Please help.

                Thanks

                    Right, these two things are impossible. But I just don't find IT as a problem, thats all. I still think that the management is grt.

                    I bought P990 with R7 and it was a disaster. Many many errors and problems. I upgraded to R9EC001 and almost all problems are gone. The phone IS fast.

                          to doministry ,
                          dude, actaully have no dubt this SE990i is a superb one, but i'm wondering how you could say the contact managment is great. maybe i couldn't find out how.
                          give me a clue on these two simple things then:
                          1. can u search contacts with both name and family name , i mean if you have saved John Smith, can you find it by typing both J anf S ?
                          i can find it only by typing "S".

                          2. can you make an item with tailored name ? i mean "Mobile(abc)" instead of Mobile(H) , Mobile(W)? can you edit these lables ?

                                      the sony retailers are told by sony to open the boxes of the cell and upgrade the phone and in the box again no retailer is getting a new batch its the aug 2006. the date of import may vary but it does not mean its mfd that year its aug 2006 and there are a lot of them in singapore,india,,sweden etc.this info is from a sony person who from se orders has upgraded his whole batch of 14 cells and the same was done with other retailers. i own this cell dont get me wrong but se has stopped making it just like they did with the p 900 and p910.cont
