IMPORTANT:
Please let me know if PhoNetInfo is supported by your phone: Use the
feedback form on my website (http://www.patrickfrei.ch/contact.php) and send me
information about your "phone model" and "firmware version" (press *#0000# to
find out what firmware version you are using).

3.  KNOWN ISSUES

Most SAMSUNG devices
(e.g. SGH-G810 / SGH-i450 / SGH-i550 / SGH-i560 / SGH-i8510 INNOV8)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
ISSUE:
Phone restarts after switching to "HAL"-tab.

SOLUTION:
None. It is a firmware bug that relates to the function HAL::GetAll().

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND:
The HAL API (hal.h, link against hal.lib) provides three methods HAL::Get(), 
HAL::Set(), and HAL::GetAll(). Get() and Set() work correctly, but GetAll() 
does not. Since this is in the low level platform code this problem may also 
appear in other Samsung devices based on the same hardware (TI) including the 
i7110.

NOKIA N80 / N80IE:
------------------
ISSUE:
Instead of information about the 'SW version', 'Language version' and 'Language 
SW version' you get 'No data, see KIS000450'.

SOLUTION:
Several Nokia N80 and N80IE users reported one of the following errors when
trying to run previous versions of PhoNetInfo:
- Unable to execute file for security reasons
- Protection error (-46)

This was caused due to a known bug in the Nokia N80 and N80IE firmware. The 
issue exists at least in Nokia N80 with firmware version 3.0617.0.6 and 
4.0632.0.38.

As of PhoNetInfo 1.8.0 there is a temporary bugfix available. On the one hand, 
instead of information about the 'SW version', 'Language version' and 'Language 
SW version' you will get 'No data, see KIS000450'. On the other hand, PhoNetInfo
also runs on all Nokia N80 versions regardless of the aforementioned firmware
bug. FREI SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT is looking forward to provide another solution 
that completely fixes this problem.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND:
For additional technical information about this issue please refer to:
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/
	KIS000450_-_SysUtil_API_does_not_work_in_Nokia_N80

Most S60 3rd edition devices (e.g. NOKIA N95 / 6110 Navigator):
---------------------------------------------------------------
ISSUE:
A wrong CPU type, architecture and clock speed is being displayed in the HAL 
information tab. E.g. on a 6110 Navigator PhoNetInfo shows "ARM 4" resp. 
"187 MHz" instead of "ARM 11" and "369 MHz".

SOLUTION:
This is a known bug that affects most Symbian S60 3rd edition devices. Download 
the unsigned version of PhoNetInfo (as of version 1.7) on the website of FREI 
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT. The bug has been (partially) "fixed" there as most values 
are hardcoded but anyway they make no claim to completeness.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND:

Nokia Wiki Knowledge Base (Known Issue):
