Guest jcjdoss Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I know I don't have a whole lot of clout around here, but anyone out there that is afraid to upgrade needs to chillout. I had my mpx200 for one day, (first smartphone or upgrade ever) and just jumped into it. I've had tv's and dvd's that were harder to work. I can understand waiting a little while just to figure out some of the major bugs, but it's official....IT WORKS!!!! Just a brief description on what you'll be getting into... 1. Battery bug-As long as you upgrade with a full battery no issue 2. Volume bug- Not sure what the issue is, the only thing about volume that is important to me is that I can hear it. In outdoor profile is loud enough to hear in a crowded area, normal is good for an office. 3.GPRS bug- there isn't one. you'll have to set your configurations since you are resetting EVERYTHING. 4. Menu bug-Menus are twice as fast as in 2002 5. Stability bug-This OS appears to be way to stable for Microsoft. Has to be a bug Seriously, you just need to do it. There are plenty of forums and posts with any info you might need. When there was a post about any new possible issue there was plenty of helpful people here that would research and post within the week. The people here will flash and reflash and flash their phones again to help you. Makes Dell customer service seem pretty crappy. If you can follow directions, and I'm guessing because you are on a computer, surfing the internet, and in a forum, you have at some point. Then you can do this. The instructions are very descriptive and will take you through step by step. If you have Windows 98 it's time to upgrade to XP anyway. BE WARNED: THIS UPDATE WILL MAKE YOUR PHONE MORE USABLE!!! Just drop a post with any questions. I won't go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 My e100 does this! Every so often it will decide (randomly) to mess up "me". So i get "of" > "69" > "me". Damn annoying! I have an annoying one at the moment.. My T9 dictionary makes the word "Where" into its respective numbers and i have to cycle to get "where" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Godfather Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 I have put a few WMA custom ringtones on my phone, but I also want to use one that is short, for an SMS indication. I tried to select one but it didn't list any of the WMA's I had. Am i not able to use WMA's for short sounds like when I receive an sms or new voice mail? The ringtone section lists them, but all others don't. Did I do something wrong, or will it only read WAV sound files for the other sounds? Thanks!

Hi if you are able of German, visit the appropriate thread on www.mobilejoe.de .. Otherwise: check 2 things: any other synch-software (eg Nokia PC Suite, NEC Sync Tool, SE Synch Tool) installed on the PC? If so de-install it. Secondly - if there are any other USB devices connected to the PC except the MPx-> disconnect them before starting the upgrade procedure! Hope it helps CIao Gerhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest raiderz Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I finally took the plunge 7 days ago to upgrade my mpx200 to wm2003 and apart from some weird low battery warnings which were solved my refreshing resource manager there have been no problems at all!

Guest clacke Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 errrr so does that mean you cantr get this anymore ? :P I was just about to "upgrade" . The ship sailed without you sir. I'd try another port, say in broadchannelny.com. I once saw a 2002 German and 2003 listed there. I know the actual URL to the message that had a link on another forum was on this forum somewhere...search...search.....I can't remember where. Good Luck.
