It has been nearly 15 days I got the SE P990i phone. By now I have experimented quite a lot with this. Through my adventures experiment with the phone I have found out many hidden things which can be utilized to improve the performance and customize this phone according to your requirements. This phone I am again saying is the best in the market except the bulkiness of the phone. If ever any body plans to buy a phone from Se stable I will always recommend to go for this phone. So here are my findings:

1. Hidden menu:

It contains many settings and useful information about your phone and different settings can be tested here. It can be found by following the steps below with flip closed mode:

-On the left side of the phone there is a jog dial move it upwards then press star(*) again move the jog down, again move the jog down again type star (*) then jog down again type star (*). So the sequence will be like Jog up, *, jog down, jog down, *, jog down *.

2. Increase Battery power:

Battery is a major concern with SE phones (not such a big concern in Walkman series). To save battery power do the following:

- Turn off any screen savers.
- Limit back light brightness to as low as possible.
- Disable Bluetooth, WLAN and Infrared whenever not needed. It will save considerable amount of battery.

3. Improve performance:

As it hasonly64 MB of RAM, sometimesif many programs are running you may find the phone bit slower. To get the optimum performance of the phone do the following:
- In Flip Closed mode the phone is more stable.
- Always close unnecessary background application by going to the task manager and open apps.
- Third party themes though improve the looks of the device, it is better to use the original default theme. It is more stable and use less resources.
- While in a flight you can turn off the radio functionality of the phone and use this only as a PDA. This can be done by putting the phone in flight mode.
- Whenever you restart your phone it gives the option to start in Phone mode or flight mode. If you do not want this prompt and wants your device to boot only in phone mode, go to Tools > Control panel > Device > Flight mode and uncheck the box.
- To increase system stability handwriting recognition functionality can be turned off by going to Control Panel > Device > Handwriting and select Text input as keyboard.

This much for today. Later on I am going to post many software both cracked and full version and link to download them. Keep visiting and write your experience about the phone and any tips you want to share.
