I downloaded for the 5230 and worked on the 6275 as well. For a total clean up either use a probrirtary software like AML Free, or run RegEdit, seacrh for Nokia and remove all manually. RegEdit can be dangerous in non-expert hands to be careful.
-
Most probably you have a driver problem. Uninstall & Remove all traces of Nokia from your PC. Reboot, and then try a fresh install. I never faced this with my Nokia 6275!

A fat 32 type of format will not support 4GB. Another thing which is never mentioned is the speed of the card. This may range from 1(slowest) to 6 (fastest).

Finally made it. They are using the CCBILL gateway and is still in a mess.
Tried using a SBI debit card - was sending me to the ICICI account payment gateway.
For Credit Card also you have to use the NetBanking Option (a temporary fix). Managed to pay on my fifth attempt. Finally dropped me into the StanChart secure check gateau. Was hanging the previous attempts. Got the confirmation sms from Reliance, receipt in e-mail and sms from bank. Hope this mess is sorted out by the next month!

We were in Dubai in April. My son bought a HD Digicam from Panasonic. The dealer was quite clear that the warranty will only be valid in India for 3 months. After that to get the rest of the year you may have to fight Panasonic.

Exactly. My Titanium (MC) does, but the Infinite (Vias) does not! Varies from Bank to bank and card to card!
Total I am not even able to enter myservices. I do not know whether it is a good or a bad sign?

@csmart; So did we think. My daughter had a Compaq. Went to the UK, had a breakdown. The reply was that since that particular model is not for sale in the UK take it back to India. I told her to reveal that she is a lawyer, and threaten them. She was doing a LLM in criminal justice.
She got a reply pronto to take the unit to a facility right on the campus. The laptop was fixed in three days flat with change of the motherboard (which they got from Germany). This was just before Xmas.
There are more holes in the so called International Warranty than in Swiss cheese. Have you ever read the 15-20 pages of it? I was talking to an CEO of a listed co. He happened to check the terms and declined the warranty extensions in the US.
replaced the Acer battery (See post 92) with a third party battery - 4400mAH against 5600mAh. Has a one year warranty. Half the price. Let me see how long this lasts.

Put in Ti Pro (from the forum) and did the Epic. Will try the 551 this evening. Of course 3.8.4 goes down to 3.8.0. afaik software labelling of a.b.c - a major rewrite, b minor rewrite/major bug fix, c bug fix. So x.x.4 going to .0 just misses ot some minor bug fixes.
-
I would not look to the US. Warranty is invalid in India. I am not aware of many laptops which did not need attention in Year 1 itself. The only recent one I can recall is a Toshiba!
-
Thanks dipan. The video showed me that I have to go to the menu screen to do things. Have got 3.8.0 from the forum. Done a backup on my Epic. Will try the 551 in the evening. Since Titanium is on my laptop should have no problem with the 551.
It uninstalls the free version (3.8.4) and then in the second round can be installed.
My desktop (Quad core etc.) is useless since it is only USB 1.1 and the phone does not like it.

Checked on direct debit. Very primitive, does not support my primary bank - the Oldest Foreign Bank in India!
-
I have setup a direct debit from my bank account so it gets paid automatically, .........
You trust the jokers, I do not. Also, if my card gets me 5% off on all telecom related bills (incl. TataSky!)then why not.
-
@dipan; Thanks for all your efforts. I looked at the first thread - totally overhead. With Greek at least I can read the letters. The second one is Bahasa Indonesia. Will try to see if Google can translate it tomorrow. In any case it a nandroid backup is not possible with 551 I do not care much about the recovery mode.
I am using Titanium (not Pro). Should I upgrade to pro. How, do you do a recovery from a Titanium backup.

Last month about the 10th or 11th I made the payment through credit card (StanC MC) as usual. Now reading about the problems something is not right in the kingdom of Rome.
I am surprised that Reliance uses only one payment gateway. I thought they will have two or three. Could be some Reliance babu not signing(or unable to since he may be currently in Tihar!) a contract renewal.
Server down may also be a sign of software revamp. Given the past history that may be highly dangerous to our health.
-
Have they been booted out by the bank?
-
Thank you dipan. Excellent labour of love. I will chew over it tomorrow.
-
The site has been very slow today.
-
Thanks. I was being sarcastic. I use the CC route since I get a 5% discount. Will try the bank account way on Monday.
-
@dipanlahiri: I did a z4root and do not remember whether I installed a recovery image or not - most probably I did not. What do I do now? Do I unroot with z4root (1.3) and then reroot through oneclickroot. Flash Clockworkrecovery does not show the Sammy 551 as an option, so cannot download it. Should I try Titanium?
Thanks for the clarification about nandroid - I was just referring to the recovery screen. I can enter it through ROM Manager but not the T <Power> route.
-
I have been trying for the past couple of days to log in and pay my bill by credit card. I can enter the site, and see the bill. As soon as I try to pay by credit card I get 'System under maintenance try alternative method'.
Is it the ADA is gong bust and cannot afford to pay the card charges?
The network connectivity is already in tatters and now this!
-
Soon Raja & Kani may have company - Dayanidhi Maran. However, given the current mindset there may be a royal (endorsed by the President) order releasing the whole lot.

@dipanlahiri; I can see the confusion, I have both Epic 4 and 551. The latter is for my wife.
I may end up with a third phone soon as the poor signal plagues the Epic. Now I am considering a GSM on either Vodafone or Airtel. I think I will get a prepaid, and see how the signal is at home, and at work. Only then I will decide where to jump to. Reliance are happily playing pass the parcel with my conplaint - CC (3/6) to Networking and then back to CC (6/6). The text is as under:
I got a call from Ms Swati from the above number (022-30326200) a few minutes ago, which was lost after 10 secs or so.
I had complained about the network problem in both my Residence (Navsheel Dham, Kalyanpur-Bithoor Road, Kanpur 208017) as well as on campus (IIT Kanpur 208016). Both are somewhat fringe locations. We had connectivity problems earlier, but for the past four years or so these were not there. The phones were in sequence Nokis 312*, Nokia 6275, Blackberry 8330 (cloned), and now Sprint/Samsung Epic 4G.
I am again having problems for the past month or so. These are of a two fold nature:
1. I am unable to talk from my office (signal level -106 or at most -101dB). I cam get smses in and out, and also most of the time EVDO connectivity is there.
2. I can talk from the bed room (first floor) of my house (typically -101dB). Also get EVDO at up to 9Mbps. Again voice quality is poor, and calls get dropped. Also, for some time I find that it may not dial al all or take ages/multiple attempts to do so.
Incidentally, you have an optical fibre link into the campus, since you have a Direct Dial facility (392 level) with our exchange, and also were (and maybe still are) providing a 1Gbps link to IIT. As for our residence there is a lot of building activity along the road, with major schools like Delhi Public School, Model School, Montessori Group (Lucknow), Gaurav International, etc. along the Bithoor Road.
I have been a RCom customer since DAPO days, and have not faced any major problems at home, though on campus we did have problems in the early days.
Both locations are to the best of my knowledge served by the same tower at Kalyanpur Kanpur. Maybe some thing is wrong there.

Unfortunately, I am seeing only three options and not either of backup/restore, & advanced are missing. There is a yellow bit with some 'manual' option on it at the bottom of the screen. I have done the backup and restore on my Epic4G three times with no sweat.
-
Have managed to boot the 551 into reboot into recovery using ROM Manager. The green part of the display does not show the save image line. All my attempts to use T+<power> have failed. I am still to try the Terminal Emulator route.
Does Signal Boosters work?

Also, if you install a booster the connection to the phone is the tricky part! For convenience and safety it was to be wireless, I will change vendors rather than use these boxes.
