Evolution!
by subacati
Help! I think my phone is evolving! :insane:. …
My phone has learnt a new trick! :left:.
It's happened twice now and I don't know why! Every morning at 4am, the alarm buzzes. Nothing unusuall about that, it's supposed to do that 'cos that's what it's programmed to do. :left:. But when I press the 'ok' button to turn the alarm off, a strange thing happens. The last application That I was using comes on. :insane:. Usually, that's Operamini 3.1 although sometimes it's Operamini 4.2 :confused:.
Even stranger is that it starts up with the last page that I was on. :insane:. I'm starting to wonder whether this is somehow related to Operamini sometimes not working. :confused:. I think that, because I use socket connection mode, Operamini fails to shut down completely when I exit. Perhaps it just continues running in the background, keeping the socket open. When I launch it again, the first one that's open is still running in the background and hogging the socket. My phone has partial support for running apps in the background. If I recieve a call whilst online, Operamini will go to background whilst I answer the call. But it exits completely when downloading. :irked:. There is also no resume function documented. and this latest trick is undocumented. This might partially explain why MMS has stopped working and why Emails can still be sent, but retrieving recieved emails won't work. :cry:. I wish I could get a firmware update, or at least, find a way to tweak the existing firmware. :awww:

You could try clearing the memory by rebooting the phone before sleeping. You might find some unofficial firmware updates for your phone on the web though.
That's beyond bizarre. :eyes: Ghost in the machine. :left:
:doh: it is an :alien: oh :no: not before the holidays!!:yikes: You definitely need to get a new one!!!!!I will talk to Santa!!
^^ Thats one crazy Santa :P@Aadil: You might also want to look into this page: http://www.talk3g.co.uk/archive/index.php/t-354.html
So … you could find a landline and call your mobile phone number while you're downloading to keep everything from exiting? (I know nothing about phone browsing, of course … 😉 ).
When you download and get a call your connection will be interrupted and will start downloading from the start again..My phone exits for no reason at all sometimes which gets annoying but I think its due to no RAM available..Boost this by taking out battery for a couple of minutes. You can see the boost if you use Handy Taskman as a application.. Never had a app come on without ordered to :eyes: see if this still happens after clearing cache and/or removing battery for couple of minutes before you turn in..
What I really need to do is find out how to hack the bloody phone. :irked:. It only has a jm2e environment for java apps. No fancy stuff. I know it's a firmware glitch, I just don't know how to rectify it. :awww:.Still looking for another phone though. It's hard to choose a phone when all the ID10T behind the counter will show you is a plastic mockup of a phone that costs almost as much as a car. :insane:.
Of course, I've used the factory reset before. But that doesn't update the firmware. That's what It needs but LG stopped issuing firmware updates the day after they stopped making these things. :left:.
Try a Nokia – they seem to have a good reputation for performance and that company sells more mobiles than anyone else. Good luck with solving your problem.
What bugs me about mobile phone sales in South Africa is this tendency to try and coerce the customer into buying and overpriced yuppie toy. There is no option to test drive the device before purchase and no after sales support. Most of the 'must have' features are redundant for me and don't make any sense anyway. For example, why would you need a built in FM reciever in a phone? Any decent phone is capable of audio streaming and most decent FM radio stations have a media streaming site. The same thing holds for built in tv reciever phones. Video streaming is way more usefull. My current phone has two memo pads, a calender, a to do list and a host of other features that I don't use. The features, such as video streaming, that are supposedly supported by my phone, are not compatible with South African networks as they only support thier own custom video streaming via the vlive proxy. (for Vodacom, aka vodafone.) Thus, in order to recieve video streams, you need a vodafone handset. Vodacom's customer support is worse than pathetic. Thier staff don't even know what an apn is. Now I don't expect the ordinary man (or woman) in the street to know that, but if it's your job to give technicall support to people that use a device that requires an apn, surely you should at least know what one is? Yeah, I realise that I'm ranting, but it's frustrating to know the potentiall of current technology just to be blocked by corporate bureaucracy. :irked:.They argue that they are merely selling what the customer wants. But I am the customer. I know what I want and it's not the load of BS that they're trying to cram down my throat! :mad:. The average customer would want much the same things that I want if it was marketed to them. But as the saying goes, "Ignorance is bliss but it's folly to be wise!"So in the words of Charlie Brown, "Aaaargh!": :bye:
Ok, I cannot believe you are actually confused about this. This is simple!!! It is your phone! It is getting fucking pissed off because you set the alarm to go off at 4am. Damn what do you expect?:whistle::devil:
To wake up at 4am? :confused::lol:
Dear Siyafunda,If you expect a mobile phoneto wake you, when you're on your own,then you expecttoo much fromthis technology.It's not as evolved as you, you see? :DWhy use a phoneas an alarm setter?A digital clockwould be far better!Use each gadgetfor its proven task,and you won'tgrowl and scowl, :Dor have to askwhy it is this mobile phonebehaves that way- then you will not feel fed up, and that alone must make a better day. :DLokuUsesAnClockAlarm :up:
Alarm clocks and I don't get along. They are unreliable. Besides, this is just a wierd new trick that my phone has learnt. It still does what it's meant to do, it just seems to have learn't that I only use it to Blog with. :yes:.I didn't know that mobiles were capable of learning by themselves now. Wait, :left:. Maybe that's why LG discontinued this model! :eyes:. I hope my phone doesn't pull a Steven King on me! :insane:.
I'm thinking about the murderous car. (I can't seem to remember her name? :confused:).Yes, that shop does have some interesting goods. :left:.His best book though, has got to be, "Through The Eyes Of The Dragon" :up:
" "I hope my phone doesn't pull a Steven King on me! . But if it does then perhaps you could buy a better one from a shop called "Needful Things" :left::eyes:
Hmmm 'from a buick 8?'..Check out Cell by King :insane: it's actually very freaky especially as a frequent mobile user :insane:
You don't happen to have copy to send to of do ya?Not many bookshops in the middle of a sugarcane field. :whistle:
" His best book though, has got to be, "Through The Eyes Of The Dragon""His best book, in seven parts, has got to be, "The Dark Tower" :up:
No copy unfortunately.. But i'll keep my eyes open at the little store here as it stocks up at the most reasonable prices..I haven't read "The Dark Tower" yet. Googled it and gonna see if I can find anything.. Bag of Bones is, for me at least, his worst book..
I must really try and get my hands on any of these 😀 think it too late to suggest christmas presents 🙄
I have all of it in my personal library, and I also have Part 1 & 2 of the Graphic Novel publication, depicting "The Dark Tower" story, (truly brilliant coloring, inking and drawings and script) that are specially produced in collaboration with Steven King. Further parts are produced at the rate of one each year, until all seven exist in Graphic Novel format.
Hope you can get the Book, parts 1-7 are each in single books, but as King explains the entire story is one story and he suggests readers should start at the beginning (there's a foreward/preamble in each part).Here are the part sub-titles, all under the heading of "The Dark Tower"Book 1 -The GunslingerBook 2 -The Drawing of The ThreeBook 3 -The Waste LandsBook 4 -Wizard and Glass Book 5 -Wolves of The CallaBook 6 -Song of SusannahBook 7 -The Dark Tower:up:
That's what i got when googling for full list of King books :up:. Seems it's harder to come by in these small towns as the librarian didn't even know what I was talking about 😆 the bookstore delivered nothing and the woman doesn't get new stock for another 2 months :doh: i'll just let my brother order something as he's got a good deal with books..
You don't know what a small town is yet. :left:.When your next door neighbour is a sugarcane field then you live in a small town. :whistle:
Ghost in the machine, defo. And the only cure for a ghost in the machine is to format your phone…. and sometimes even that doesn't work! Ghosts in the machine are prove that we are messing with stuff we dont fully understand…. and mayeb that computers and such aren't as lifeless as they appear…… :left: :right:
Qlueeeee.. Send me some sugarcane 😆
It's an autumn/winter harvest. But send you address and remind me next year. :up:
😆 actually we do have some cane here :p hard to find though..
