HI, NEW user, a little bit confused

Hi, Am fola, recently nicked this nice fone off a flea market. it was really clean and nice to look at.

anyway, nice to join this forum, lotsa smart folks here.

err,ok, my issues:

1. my phone dont pick 3G signals, at all, stuck on edge. though i surmise that that is'nt the fault of the phone. someone told me that the only 3G band supported in my country is 2100mhz, and the phone does not support that band! tough luck.

2. i cannot seem to get my email and chat messaging to work.

i dont stay in the US, so i dont know how much of an issue this is. i tried to input my Email settings in the messaging section, actually just Yahoo and Gmail accounts, but when i try to retrieve mails it says unspecified error?

likewise for the inbuilt yahoo chat thingy, it says network unavailable, but i do surf with the browser and opera mini!!

anyway, im hoping someone can tell me whats up with it, i hope i can make this work. cos i need it badly, and i do prefer native clients to java apps.


and hey man, Agoattamer and ors you guys are the bomb!! respect men. i love all the hacks u got up here man, already doing the goatbreaking, the sounds, and lotsa stuff man, thanks ya'all

thanks E.Cadro

if i understand what you are saying, yes i already did set up my apns and stuff. i can surf on the phone with the inbuilt browser, and opera mini and bolt.

i do not live in the US true, which was why i asked the question. am wondering if there isnt some hidden settings in INTERNALS that ties the messaging to AT&T servers.

other than that, i cannot fathom a reason why they dont work. especially the yahoo chat client. especially seeing that i specify my settings for the chat client, yet it does not connect.

the mail too under messaging. it says "unknown error" anytime i try to retrieve mail. (i have used the wizard to set up my accounts)


Hope to get this working, else it be a big shame. im loving the phone, i need to be able to retrieve Emails on the go automatically, and stay online with chat too

I WAS working on changing the IM servers, and the first test failed, changing from AT&T to T-Mobile.

I don't have an Impression anymore, so I can't work on it anymore. If you want me to post what I did to try to change from AT&T to T-Mobile on the IM client, I can. But only if you want it.

True.

I "think" I read at some point that the Eternity people changed their IM servers.

And I offered to post it so the OP can change the server to their carrier's mobile IM if the carrier supported it, but since it doesn't work...LOL, ok just ignore me my bad.

Attempts to change the email and IM servers on the eternity forum all failed also.

Here is a sugestion. We don't know your carrier.  Is there a java phone, preferably samsung similiar to the impression for your carrier? Possibly the IM application and email application may be java apps and can be extracted and then installed on your phone.

Reflashing your phone will not lock it again. You are safe.

As far as battery.....I would say your battery is going bad or you have a cheap imitation battery.

The battery that come with our phone is a Samsung AB603443CA 1000 m Ah 3.7 V Li-ion
You can install things OTA but you need to use the phones media net browser to due so and most apps require goatbraking to allow full permissions games are not as much of an issue to install OTA since most do not require permissions.

As far the Bolt 2.3 you can go to
http://boltbrowser.com via your media net browser and download it but it will over right your prev version and will have the dpad and all the issues that come with not goatbreaking the app. But once installed you can go in via TKFE and goatbreak it. You will also have to edit the jad file to allow full screen as well. I will try later today to post the newer version with the edited jad to the original bolt browser post in the third party software section
