Mine is like a Porche with a mini engine in it, I think the advertising guys have a lot to answer for in this case, maybe if the phone was released on time (over 12 months ago) all the advertising stuff would have been correct then, but as the phone was release 8 months late, I dont think the advertising guys updated their specs and so many new phones overtook the X in the speed stakes, that has been proven.
ok Cash.... I got impatient and went ahead with it. You won't believe what I did. I gave my sendo a COMPLETE rub down. I dissasembled it (again)... Dusted off everything, used a de-oxidizer called R5 Power Booster on ALL my contacts.... this means my mic, earpiece battery, sim, etc. Cleaned the LCD with special detailer, then air blasted the parts to be put back together. All this meanwhile downloading the Portuguese f/w .... I even masked the screen off to give it a good polish. My phone is good as new! After installing my new f/w 60D, I used the clear memory '5' key at startup, restored from my memory card, then tested the phone for 1 hour... making and receiving calls, checking for voice quality, signal, internet, etc. Everything is tip top!
Only thing that I can think of is my operator text still displays Cingular even though I have t-mobile. But at least my phone works! I even waited for the signal to die out which was only for a few seconds and during that time I attempted to make a call, and guess what.... my call did not disconnect, the call was placed and then connected 4 seconds later without kicking me off. That is a whole lot better!
I will now be testing the receiving call function while in mp3. I don't know if this ever worked properly because my phone was such a wreck that I know I never received a call while in mp3 mode and, I never cared to attempt it. Hope I receive my messages faster, this will take a few days get the full effect of my changes....
I will keep you guys posted!
oh... and about keeping the dust out the screen, I will be lining the border of the screen with di-electric grease!
Anyone want one?:
