Guest bensy Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 From smart website, you'll see the procedure to upgrade from 1.3.6.7 to 1.3.7.8. http://www.smart.com.ph/SMART/Products/Sma...P_downloads.htm The problem is, they forgot (or haven't yet) posted the required software! maybe in a few days.. Question: will it lock the phone (if this was previously unlocked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mlkanapi Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Hi bensy! I too am interested in the ROM upgrade. Let's see if the process 'locks' our phone again. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mapaman Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 did you lose your tweaks/registy edits/skins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bensy Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Success! No change in home, skins, tones, etc... (none that I can see at the moment) And it won't lock a previously lock, open line phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mlkanapi Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Success here also! All previously installed apps are running. I kept the SD card in the phone during this upgrade. I am very pleased with having action backup/update Just have to check if it remains unlocked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vctor Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 am downloading the software now...sana mag ok din sa kin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mlkanapi Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Still unlocked. I did notice something new. A character counter is now present on the left upper part of the screen when composing a text message. I wonder if this is a new feature packaged with the upgrade :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dinoalbert Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 I was able to download also the upgrade software but I guess I have to wait a little more and hear feedbacks from you guys. Im not really excited about the Action Engine......... but YES! sms character counter would be cool, just what I need! I believe thats a new feature because I dont have that one in my Tanager now.

Guest dinoalbert Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 Those who were able to upgrade... 1. Whats new aside from Action Backup/Update and SMS counter? 2. Can anyone confirm...some say it has now the SMS character counter, some say it doesnt have? 3. Does the SMS character counter work properly? 4. Hows the GPRS and MMS? No problem so far?

Guest grifter Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 1. Whats new aside from Action Backup/Update and SMS counter? >> that's about it. 2. Can anyone confirm...some say it has now the SMS character counter, some say it doesnt have? >> it has the SMS counter but ONLY if you type in numbers in the TO field. If pull up a recipient from the contact list, it won't display the SMS counter. I think the SAP thinks that you're sending an email. 3. Does the SMS character counter work properly? >> it does 4. Hows the GPRS and MMS? No problem so far? >> same as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dinoalbert Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 @grifter thanks for the info. hey I got a tip from the other forum on how to make the counter work with SMS! After you enter the recipient from your contacts, just type any number after it (ex: 0) and viola! you now have the sms counter working. After composing the message, just go back to the TO field and delete the number you typed. :wink: try it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bongmanuel Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 I already have the Action Backup and Action Update on my programs when I got the phone. Do I still need to upgrade my SAP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dinoalbert Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 The latest version is 1.3.7.8 check your phone....goto Programs-->Settings-->About see if yours is 1.3.7.8......if so, you dont need the upgrade since you already have the latest ROM version the upgrade is for those who got their smartphone when it first came out, with version 1.3.6.7 cheers..

Guest jabez Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 I don't know if this could be called a trick: I was upgrading my sister's SAP ... we got to bootloader mode (the tri-color "Canary" screen which those with SIM-unlocked phones know by now). It just stuck in there for 20 minutes ... nothing happening. So, with fingers crossed, we tried turning off the celfone and disconnecting it from the USB cable. It wouldn't turn off with the power button ... so we had no choice but to take off the battery and wait for 30 seconds... When we powered it up ... we still had the tri-color screen. We called *888 ... we were told to go to the Wireless Center ... uh-oh Hoping against hope ... we tried re-connecting the phone to the PC ... ActiveSync won't work ... still we re-started the upgrade program ... and waited ... ALAS! ... it worked seamlessly up to the finish ... Then I tried it on my own phone ... same scenario ... "hanging" at the tri-color screen ... To make the long story short ... I just did what I did with mhy sister's phone WOW! Seamless upgrade up to finish ... BUT ... I misplaced the Globe SIM I borrowed ... Is my phone still open? ... we'll find out tomorrow . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
