Guest Shaks Posted July 17, 2004 Report Posted July 17, 2004 Originally posted by Shaks, edit by Paul [MVP] SmartEase.net have noted that there is a new e200 update available on Orange France Website: As translated by Google: The new update for the SPV E200 is available... Posted by JRC the 16-07-2004 17:10 After several months of waiting, here it is it so much hoped for updated for smartphone Orange SPV E200. The preceding update largely improved autonomy of the SPV E200 but unfortunately new bugs made their appearance, including one very prejudicial for the use of a smartphone, since the sound volume of the ear-phone proves to be too low. This is why Orange place at the disposal of the users of SPV E200 (which were not forgotten in spite of the imminent exit of the SPV C500), a last update for this smartphone maintaining at the end of the lifetime. This new version whose versionning is as follows 2.7.2.2 makes the following improvements: - increase in the sound volume of the ear-phone. - correction of the power supply failure of port SD/MMC. - last build of IA Album and IA Camera. - suppression of the smoothed police forces ClearType, nevertheless, they can be reactivated by using Shell-Orange 1.3 . - various bugs minor corrected. We at MoDaCo have been involved in testing the build, and can confirm that while the changes are minor, it's worth applying for the sound and BlueTooth imprvoements. Interestingly, the builds I have tested still featured SD problems... :? P
Guest pd.ryder Posted July 17, 2004 Report Posted July 17, 2004 Can someone post a link? I'm still build 1.6.0.0 having decided not to "upgrade" to O's new ROM. Will the new rom be of any use to me (does it contain the "pro's" of 2.6.1.3 with fewer of the "con's")? Will it all be in French? Will O be releasing a UK version of the rom, or do we need to use the Orange France version? Qusetions, questions...... :roll:
Guest Shaks Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 OK, been testing for bout an hour, Can be changed to UK English quite easily. Only things remaining in french are Orange Update & Orange ContactWiz/Email Wiz. Not much difference in Software versions: Orange FR Update 2.7.2.2 Microsoft 4.20 build 13288 Radio Version 1.12.04 Operator 2.7.2.2 Manufacturer 1.11.2.29 ia album 2.00 build 16534 Orange UK 2.6.1.3 4.20.0 build 13288 Radio 1.12.01 Operator 2.6.1.3 Maunfacturer 1.11.1.4 ia album 2.00 build 14017 So not a huge difference in the radio/core operating system/manufacturere but quite a large difference in ia album build. The imate 1.10.15.2 uses a much newer Core MS operating system and a 1.16.0 radio version and seems better (apart from different none integrated MMS software and no orange home plugin) Shaks

Guest giuliastro Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 BlueTooth improvements? What's new? The best ROM I've installed on my E200 is I-Mate v1.10.15.2 and it seems it already features these things you list...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 The SD card issue is a weird thing, i'm trying to clarify the status now... P
Guest pd.ryder Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 I think I'll "watch this space" for a while. :P

Guest ajb3000 Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 Can you now record video in 3GP format and send them as video messages?
Guest jtsaint Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 Can someone clarify what the bluetooth changes are - is there a chance i might actually be able to use this as a bluetooth device now ?
Guest the loc-man Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 yes Paul what Bluetooth improvements are made specifically? Is the hardware set so it will only do headset profile? or is it possible through software to get better BT profiles? when can we expect to see this in UK?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 The UK update is imminent... As for BlueTooth, don't have the full details to hand, but i'll try to get them! P

Guest Toyota-F1.com Posted July 19, 2004 Report Posted July 19, 2004 Thankyou for your information Mr Orange, looking forward to hearing from you again soon.
Guest Simon Desser Posted July 19, 2004 Report Posted July 19, 2004 WHY WHY WHY Do Orange choose the crap MS MMS client in their ROMS :?: :?: :?: :evil: Imate (and others) have opted for the Arc Soft MMS app, which whilst is far from perfect, at least allows you to send (not record) videos, as well as more importantly add/record AMR voice notes :P 8 Months after the release of this phone, and Orange users still can't add sound to MMS messages :roll: :evil: :!:
Guest Cybertronic Posted July 19, 2004 Report Posted July 19, 2004 /waits in anticipation for the Orange UK ROM :P
