Ripped off - O2 Trion - English manual needed

---

Bought the O2 trion from eBay (user: puremobility) - he said it was an english version. Received it today (in Australia) - its completely GERMAN!!

I cant even power it on (yes tried the power button with the USB power plugged in for the last three hours).

Can someone please post an English manual/guide/etc. (FTP?) or eMail me njay22 at hot..mail

Thanks,
njay

Why do you need a manual?

Have you tried to remove the battery for a minute and then switching it on again?

njay22, im also in Australia, let me know how you go with your device......i also bought a trion but not from ebay......i was watching the ebay item from puremobility as well but i ended up buying it from an online shop in Germany called MG&C......should be arriving here in Australia on Monday......i paid extra for changing it from German to english operating system......i'll let you know if mine is really in english as well......regarding the manual, i'm waiting for MG&C to send me the english manual once its available from them, apparently they are in the middle of creating one......

Yes there is a reason puremobilities feedback hasnt increased over the last cpl weeks and one might suspect this is why.

You dont need a manual it should power on just as it is.

Remove and reinsert the battery.
Plug into USB on computer
maybe let charge until green light comes on (That way you know its fully charged and battery is okay).

Then press and hold the power button, top button on the right side of the device, until the screen comes on.

If that doesnt work, id start working on ways to get your $$$ back.

its working

After removing the battery and hard resetting and then charging it overnight its working.

I would still really appreciate the English manual. Anyone? Even Dopod's or HTC's will do. Am I missing s/w too (as I can’t read the German language CD included). I want to know the intricacies of this device.

Even though I received it y'day, its serial # is HT626 - is that bad?

Basically, puremobility put in the Dopod ROM (1.23.707.1?); my problem is that he never mentions this in his auction - if he had, then I would have been empowered to make the decision and not feel ripped off; contemplating giving him negative feedback

No the serial number theory pretty much went out the window. It seems plain and simple earlier models were most prone to poor QA, but now the newer models can have some of the faults but it isnt as frequent.

manual anyone

so is there anyone that can send me an english manual? I am really struggling with the phone (not everyone is as tech savvy as the majority of the people here).

thanks in advance.

I would assist:
Would be great to have an English (better also a German PDF manual for the TyTN uploaded to the ftp.

The PDF manual does exist (look at the FCC site) - but it is still under NDA, which I don't understand by now, as the device is in the market already.

Why don't you just install the english ROM. I don't think you really need the manual for this. most things are pretty self explanatory and if you have any questions just ask it in this forum or Howard Forums:

http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=181

If you just need to get started.. download activesync 4.1 or (4.2?), just google it.. install it, and hook up ur TyTN to your comp when it's done installing. You should be able to get started from there.

Instead of initially chanrging via the usB lead, it might be an idea to use the mains charger.. just a thought
