As title states, I just upgraded to ROM version 1.39 released from motorola using the Online update process. I had the 1.25 firmware but I tossed the good old systeminfo.xml file from my old cingular firmware so I managed to upgrade.

First impressions:

Camera quality much better compared to 1.30 but same compared to 1.25 Generic

Sound MUCH louder than 1.30 but still same level compared to 1.25

Some miniSD card issues that i had with my 256MB Sandisk have dissapeared

Unfortunately, still on Windows Media Player 9

*** NO ANSWER DELAY *** !!!!!

Feel free to ask me anything else!

Sweet! I wonder if this will fix the bluetooth problem I have been having with my BLNC ihf1000 handsfree device...

--I can partner the devices but as soon as I turn the car off and back on at a later time, they don't see each other. --The only fix I have found is to delete the partnership on the Phone side, turn on the car, then the ihf1000 tries to connect, thereby prompting a message on the phone to allow the connection.

Besides that one "glitch", everything else seems to work great! --Mostly
Any hope that this new ROM will allow voicedial through bluetooth?

There have been Bluetooth improvements with the 1.39 ROM so it might help you out.

There will never be voice dial via BT because that is a WM2003SE problem. Motorola used the tags from Windows for voice commands and BT is not in the stack. The reason why the C500/5600 can do it is because the voice commands were done differently not using the WM2003SE stack.

im sorry but im a little confused i currently have 1.30 rom. so what exactly should i do to get the new 1.39 rom from cingular? the reason im confused is because is this rom from motorola or cingular? cuz the motorola website says there is no update available??

Oh well.. at least I can program up to 20 names/numbers for verbal commands with the handsfree device. Seems to work well so far.. when paired. Can also verbally dial the digits. More importantly, I can hear the phone ring while on the road (stereo gets muted) and answer. =)

I'll find out later tonight if how the update affects things for the partnerships.

Thanks!

Installed the AT&T firmware 1.390.0.0 last night and found that I still have the bluetooth problem of not being able to reuse the existing profile to have the handsfree automatically reconnect when the cars ignition is turned on... oh well. Does anybody else have this problem, or is it just me?

use cingular's 1.39... it's got the BT serial port setup on... maybe that'll solve ur problem

I've got 1.30 and I ran the update tool and it said I have the latest.  Is there some trick to get 1.39 to install?

Thanks!

Yeah, you will need to trick the update utility after it scans your phone, but before it checks online for updated firmware. --Thanks to those who figured this out on all the previous posts I have read on here. =)

Use the attached Cingular systemInfo.xml and drop it into C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp\MPx220 System Update Wizard\* directory when you are prompted that it will now check for the update online.

--The actual temp directory may vary depending on OS and settings, but this works for me. -- Good luck!

C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Temp\MPx220 System Update Wizard\
Find this directory on the computer on which you are running the update utility. In there, place the systeminfo.xml and overwrite the existing one. If you can't find the directory on your computer, search for the file!

When to do that? I said that on the previous post.
