Feck :mad: My optimus 7 won't read sims anymore. I keep on getting a "sim card is missing or invalid" error :mad:

Even though I bought it off price guard could I send it to phone meanders to get it repaired?

EDIT: It seems like I can get it repaired

Or you could try this http://www.mprc.ie/

FonFix repairs it under manufacturers warranty and sends it back to ya for free. Worth a look.

Meteor and Carphone Warehouse uses their services.

Not sure about the other carriers. But heard way to many negative responses about FoneMenders :S

Though then again people dont come to praise companys on forums. Only to rant

I was in the process of porting my number to a diffrent operator (tesco mobile) however even other sim cards don't work in the phone anymore. I also did a system reset with no luck On the hardware side of things everything looks fine

@Trevor451 - don't get it personal, but didn't you, by any chance, put SIM a wrogn way in? I did it 2 or 3 times because of tricky shape of SIM holder in Optimus7.

Looks very likely alright. I have my phone on the open firmware so hopefully I'll get the update on the day its released.

Can you tell me if MMS works with the open firmware, I've been tempted to flash the EU open firmware onto my phone to check this but haven't gotten around to doing it, thanks.

The phone isn't even working on my E900... Nevermind MMS (Which I don't think I've used since 2005 :pac:).

No loudspeaker music or calls either. Stupid phone not being a god-damn phone. Mango better sort this out tomorrow... :mad:

I don't use MMS at all but a couple of my iphone friends don't seem to know how to send a picture by email and keep sending me MMS pictures.

I've updated my firmware to the EU open firmware and updated to the Mango RTM. Everything is running smoothly for me here, I'll check the MMS tomorrow and see if I can receive them.

Mango RTM

I WISH THEY WOULD JUST RELEASE MANGO ALREADY FUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!



Seriously slow in Microsoft.


Handy app here though for those running mango, who like to turn on and off settings often such as wifi and 3g etc, it creates shortcuts on the start menu, its free also; can some one here download it and tell us what its like?

I thought this was the app i was looking forward too...but unfortunately it's not...

All i want is a tile on my home screen that will turn on my bluetooth with one press. Click it and bam it's on. I don't want it to take me to the same bluetooth menu just so i can swipe the on switch across! Grrrr

Trevor451

No mango today? boourns :mad:

I got the app your talking about a few days ago. Does what it says on the tin. Lets you pin a shortcut to settings.

There are two of these apps I think at the moment, Network Dashboard and Connectivity Shortcuts. Network Dashboard apparently has the better icons and ability to turn on or off radios with a single tap.

Having said that, I've not used either one since I'm still waiting on an official O2 release for Mango ;-)

Also, no one has said Mango will be released on the 23rd of Sept, just like no one said it would be released on the 15th of Sept. It could be any day starting on the 23rd Sept running to the 21st of Dec. They said it would be released in the "Fall"

Ah for fecks sake - I went to get this one on Zune.......

Told me Zune needed to be updated

Ok did that......

Noticed the phone did a 'new hardware install' on pc

Now I can't see a buy button for any apps on Zune

(Downloaded from the phone no prob)

Am I missing something (other than the buy button )

A quick google hasn't enlightened me.........

Vodafone now have the HTC Titan on the Coming Soon page, very tempted to get this now, was holding See Ray but this may change things.
