Guest badboy4life Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 Ok just a lil' update, phones been going for 49 hours now and still has 48% battery life!!! This hasn't been with a lot of usage, in addition to my last post i've played about 20 mins of games and sent a couple of text messages. Additional Note: SD has been in the whole time and not once been 'forgotten', and so adds to the amazement as to how long the battery has lasted!! Just hope I don't jinx it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest atonks Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I installed the update 3 days ago. So far, my phone hasn't locked up at all, the SD card hasn't been "lost" and battery life seems better. As I was never a fan of ClearType, I'm very pleased with this update :P ...... so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Has this update fixed the problem with sound when recording video, which was introduced in the previous one, or is it still unlistenable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest beersoft Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 ok, i've had the update on for a few days, and yep its good as mrmagoo said earlier on in a thread somewhere, im getting at least an average of 43 minuites a % which works out at an estimated standby of 2.9 days :P it hasn't lost the sd card at all, and its only crashed once in 3 days, but that was a betaplayer/ie/outlook/not crashing for 3 days and running out of memory problem. the call quality is about 500 times better than the 2.6.whatever rom from the last update I would go for the update, its worth it just for doing the battery tweak thing later Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest robpow Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi all, Just updated, but now can't connect to the internet through my phone!! What should my settings be? I had the same problem and had to do this: 1. Go to Internet Explorer 2. Select Menu and then Options and then Connections 3. Notice that the 'Select Network' option is empty 4. Click on Select Network and choose 'The Internet'. 5. Click Done twice to return to IE 6. It should now connect to sites just like before Cheers, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ajb3000 Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 This is probably a mix of both the update and the hard reset at full battery (my previous hard reset was done on low battery before the discovery), but the battery life is mind blowing. Before I would be lucky if my phone lasted 18 hours before dying, but now it's been running for 27 hours and still has 3 bars!!! Finally! I haven't noticed much difference, if any on call quality, it's probably a tiny bit louder, barely noticeable though, and the redial distortion bug is still there. On the bright side I have not had my Plantronics M3000 cut out once since installing the update which is brilliant :P. I would definately recommend installing it, but I do hope to god Orange release another to fix the outstanding bugs, unfortunately though, I can't see that happening.

Guest Disco Stu Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Not that I just follow whatever Toyota's doing or anything, but I too have been persuaded to do the upgrade for the sake of battery life. Is it necessary to do the full-recharge hard reset before upgrading, since the upgrade surely does the same thing anyway ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nato Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Im happy ! SD card problem - fixed Video/sound problem - fixed Bluetooth headset - fixed AT LAST SOMETHING GOOD TO SHOUT ABOUT !

Guest ajb3000 Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 A hard reset is performed during the update process, so no need to do it beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest serialkillazzs Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 seems to me that fully chargin your phone durin any upgrades or down grades improves battery life some how. never had a problem before with sd or battery life with the old e200 update.just thought id mention that i didn,t have to hard reset the phone at all for months since this update came.ive now managed to upgrade and down grade between the e200 roms with florin fix if anyones interested in downgradin. only managed to get imate rom to 10% before 113 error came up after countless numbers of time tryin ill wait till wednesday before upgradin again if reports are still improvin here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cybertronic Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Must say that this update improves the battery life alot! :D Also the volume is alot louder too :P I fully charged up the phone before I updated too :lol: Very pleased with this update!

Guest twister Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Plus points: In-call audio quality is a bit better, and volume levels sound like they're back on a par with the original ROM - speakerphone mode, which was rendered all but unuseable by the first update, becomes useful again... Power consumption is as good as in the first update - the 1%/45mins figures being quoted elsewhere in this thread are just what I was getting with the last ROM, so I'm pleased to see this one hasn't reverted to the original ROM figures! Minus points: Media Player still randomly skips to the next track in the playlist, although seemingly less often than it used to do in the first update ROM. Video recordings still include annoying levels of static/hiss on the audio track. Cleartype off by default again, and with no easy option to turn it on. Yes, I know about CustomCabbage and the like, but in my book an "easy option" is something that could be changed by someone using a phone straight out of the box without needing to download and install a third-party patch. So far then, based on the way I use my E200, the only benefit of this ROM over the previous update seems to be the improved in-call audio quality. Which, I suppose, is the most important thing to get right on a phone. But it's a bit annoying/frustrating that some of the other faults introduced with the last update (all of which reduce the SPV's attractiveness as a smartphone) remain. If I just wanted to carry around something that could make calls, I'd still be using my old Nokia... I'd rate this ROM as a B-, but I'm tempted to knock the whole upgrade experience down to a C due to the lack of a reminder to disable firewalls before trying to apply the upgrade - took me two failed update attempts before I remembered having problems last time.

Guest bluemeat Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Yeah I have a SPV3 with original ROM (1.1.1.4 I believe) and it dims after I think 5 seconds, before going out totally at 10 seconds. To be honest I noticed it more after this upgrade - maybe it dims it a bit more than before or something. I use 5 second light timeout anyway, because WMP lights the screen every track change, and it dims after about 2 seconds. Oh, and today's testing - fully charged in the morning, music all the way to work, and all the way home, 60% still remaining when I got home. Think the previous version was around 45-50% when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bauer Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi, Ive attempted to rom update my phone for the first time, current rom version is 1.1.1.4. When i ran the program it displayed the same message for over an hour "checking information on your spv e200...please wait", i read some one elses post and they rectified the problem by resetting their computer. i did the same and it has done nothing other then made my phone redundant. i can only access bootloader on my phone. When i try to run the program again it displays the same message and does nothing. Any help in fixing this problem would greatly apreciated.

Make sure any firewall (like Zone Alarm, etc) is deactivate/disabled, put the phone in bootloader mode (the tri colour screen) in the cradle, then run the update. Be patient as it took an anxious few minutes to do anything on mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bauer Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I disabled zonealarm before doing this but theres been no change. When you say a few anxious minutes, how many minutes do you mean? because its been in this state for 45 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
