We'll try to update a list of frequently asked questions about the CECT P168 and the answers or the link to the post answering it.
If your looking for one and it's not in here please leave a comment and we will try to get it as soon as possible.
Q: Where can i find the user manual for this phone in my language?
A: This post has links to download the user manual in english, spanish, french, itlian and german
Q: How can i dial a number when i'm already on a phone call and need to select and option?
A: There is a little green icon at the bottom center of the screen while we are on an active call. If you touch it, the numeric keyboard will appear and then you can enter the desired number.
Q: I don't know how to connect to internet or send multimedia messages (MMS) from my phone.
How do i do it?
A: This depends on the country you live and the company that gives you the service.
We are updating on a daily basis a worksheet with the info you need. It is in this post.
Q: I don't know how to open the case of the CECT P168.
A: In this post there is a video explaining how to do that
Q: How can i change the wallpapers of my phone? Can i download some from the internet?
Can i create wallpapers from images on my hard disk?
A: Yes, you can. And here is a tutorial of how to do it. You can resize images to fit in your device with this tutorial
Q: Can i read books on my CECT P168? What is the supported file type?
A: Yes, you can. The files must be TXT. The explanation is in this post.
Q: When somebody call me i see the number of the calling phone, not the name even when i have this info in the address book. What is the problem?
A: This phone detects the number with the area code. To get the name you should enter the number after the code.
If the phone is a cellphone then you first enter the country code and if it is a normal phone then put the area code and then the phone number.
The best way to see a sample of this is asking someone to call you and see the number appearing on the screen.
Q: Can i install java games on the phone?
A: Not yet. The phone doesn't have Java support. There are many people trying to change the flash to put java on it. If this gets to be done we will post about it.
Q: The audio sound terrible when i hear it through the earphones bundled. Is there a solution to this?
A: The audio in the device is good, the problem are the cheap chinese earphones bundled with it.
There a solution to get a better sound. Look in this post.

A: Answered in this post.

A: There is a workaround to this problem. See this post
Q: How do i lock the screen manually?
A: There is no way to lock the screen manually on this model. You have to wait till phone goes to standby mode by itself.
Q: Is there any way to synchronize my outlook calendar on PC with phone calendar.
A: You can export the address book from outlook to csv format and then import them with the software PhoneSuite.
To be able to connect to this software you need a Bluetooth connection in your computer.
This method will only allow you to import the name and the phone of the contact though.
Q: How many entries can i save on the address book in this phone?
A: This phone supports up to 500 entries
Q: On the part where you put proxy address it will not let me put a 5 in it only will let 0,1,2 do you know why?
A: In the proxy address you need to put a valid IP address. This are made by four numbers and each one should be from 0 to 255. That's why the first digit can't be 5, it should be 0, 1, or 2.
So you need to write 005 to put 5 on it. The IP should be write like this 192.168.020.005 (sample)
Q: I can't set the resolution of the camera on the CECT P168 to 2.0 MP. What's wrong?
A: See this post
Q: I see a little hole on the back of the phone. Is that a reset? Can i insert a clip on it to hard reset my phone?
A: NOOOO. Be careful with that. The hole is a microphone. There is no reset button on this model
Q: When i plug the USB cable to the phone i get two options and one of them is 'Webcam'. If i select it nothing appear on my PC. How can i use this feature?
A: With an instant messenger or another webcam ready software. See this post.
Q: How can i use the speed dial function?
A: To use the speed dial feature on this phone you have to follow this steps:
Go to MAIN MENU
SETTINGS
PHONE SETUP
7 SPEED DIAL
If it is off, turn it on with option 1
Then go to option 2 SET NUMBER
And edit the empty field corresponding to the number you want to press to speed dial
The numbers must be on your address book because it select them from there.

Its been a month my phone book is stuck in sim card land can get it to move to the phone yet it says their is 272 contacts on it. Please help, thanks in advance
i can't get any mp3 to copy. heres what ive done and it still doesn't work.turned off in the List Auto Gen. When I click Ok and go back to the Options, it only shows two options: Add and Settings.

Finally a great webpage for the CECTp168 phone...well done!
My questions follow... Have other users experienced problems with battery life?
My phone will sometimes not allow charging from either the supplied charger or via my PC. Sometimes if you swap a battery over the phone will charge. Sometimes it won't. It's very frustrating, as is the poor battery life. Any ideas anyone? I actually went and ordered two more batteries for the damned thing from Ebay and the charge sequence is still problematic!

Hey all. I just got my p168S yesterday, and it's having trouble reading the tflash card. It says there is no memory in the phone. I have tried 2 different cards, and yes, they are installed correctly. I tried formatting and that didn't work. Any tips? Did I just get a faulty phone?
Thanks!
First, thanks for this page. I have a question about the MIDI files. Is there a way to remove/replace them in the caller/ringtone option? I am trying to use more than 5 ringtones, but the phone is embedded with so many MIDI and ring files, that it only allows me to upload 5 of my own for ringtones. Is there a way around this? Hope someone can help.
Thanks, Angie

I have a 168s. Here is how I lock my keypad: I set the LCD timer to 60 seconds, and the Auto keypad lock to 5 seconds. The Auto lock will work only when the desktop image is showing. Not in any other menu. When you are done using the phone, press the "end call" button to go back to the desktop image. The phone will lock in 5 seconds. Press "end call" now, and the LCD will turn off to save power. (will turn off automaticaly in 60 seconds)
I have just discovered a possible reason for batteries not charging on the P168+ Some replacement batteries have the polarity reversed and will not work in the phone even if you can charge them with a polarity reversal! Anyone have a work around for the polarity problem?
