E200 ROM released on Orange UK!

[Guest Kallisti]

FWIW, for all those with locking up or crashing phones, have you considered NOT installing a host of software, tweaks and hacks. Although there are some seroius shortcomings in many areas of the phone, these are not bugs that come with MS's delivery of it.

Anyway, here's hoping that I can now use a bluetooth headset in the office, and still use my bluetooth car kit! Maybe they've even tried to make it possible for the car kit to do all the things most other phones can!?

[Guest Kallisti]

Are the BT Serialport settings new? Don't remember enabling com ports before?

[Guest Boboga]

Not new, on my dutch (latest) e200 rom they are in there also. :P

What I hate most about updates #1, damned GPRS refusing to work and therefore not allowing me to unlock it again. Dammit!

[Guest Jules1974]

Anyone know if i install this update to the rom, will i have to pay another £20 to get it unlocked? :roll: . Or if it does re-network lock your phone can i use the same file to unlock it.

This is very important as im not updating otherwise!.

Cheers

Hi ,

Does anybody know if you have to install the first upgrade before running this one . Also can anybody comment on the SD card lock up issue under the new rom . I didn't apply the last upgrade because of this .

[Guest atonks]

You don't have to apply the first upgrade before this one.

So far :!: my E200 hasn't locked up with this ROM, and it hasn't lost the SD card, yet, but it's early days

[Guest MarcelA]

How long does it take for a Dutch upgrade with this ROM ??

I want to upgrade, but I dont want to loose my Dutch T9

[Guest Pondrew]

Hi ,

Does anybody know if you have to install the first upgrade before running this one.

Dude, that's one of the few questions Orange managed to come up with in the FAQ section. As Atonks pointed out it's not needed but includes much of the previous update. Question is does it have the same bugs...

[Guest monty1]

Pondrew, atonks

Thanks Guys for the response ,

like the last time I will probably wait another 20 or so pages before deciding . very interested in the whether it actually fixes the SD card issue for good . Also whether it offers better battery life my only real gripe with the original ROM :shock:

Also, if this fixes the sd non-writeable issue i will be well **ssed off!!!, i just bought a new sandisk sd card to sort that out!...

Cheers

[Guest ajb3000]

Make sure you phone is fully charged before applying the update (this is important as it will improve the phones battery life after the update has been applied), and backup everything you need to keep as EVERYTHING on the phone will be deleted. While you can leave stuff on the SD card, I like to take mine out just in case, but it's supposedly safe to leave it in.

[Guest jeffik]

Hi all, anybody upgraded and had to re sim unlock their phone?

[Guest zerosignull]

"Hi all, anybody upgraded and had to re SIM Unlock their phone?"

Nope. i upgraded and it was still sim unlocked. had to app unlock it again though.

[Guest carlosp_uk]

Hi, has anyone successfully app unlocked their SPV E200 after this update?

I've been to the OTA site several times, it says my phone's unlocked, but then the e200 doesn't make the data call and unlock.

HELP!

[Guest blewer]

I have, first time :P

I used pass-through if that helps?

I hear ya, first thing i did was run it without anything, or just smart explorer, i even removed a few things :P The phones made it throguh a day without crashing, which is cool, i did reboot it once this afternoon as it wouldnt sync. It hasnt caught fire, eaten the cat or abused goats, so its certainly no worse, and its still unlocked from its orignal unlocking, so rock on. :shock:

[Guest AlexP]

I'm having problems with going back to cleartype font after upgrading to the new rom, i've cabbed it as mention earlier in ths thread and ran it from my phone, it say's that it's installed OK but the font hasn't changed at all and i can't find anywhere to enable the cleartype font.

[Guest badboy4life]

Read this to help with re-enabling ClearType

[Guest AlexP]

Thanks, it works a treat. For anyone else who wishes to enable cleartype then download the cab file and copy it to storagewindowsstartmenuaccessories

and then run that cab file from the phone and it should install.

[Guest bluemeat]

I got my cleartype back with Shell-Orange in the end. Why on earth did they get rid of it in this version?

I see there's still no undo feature in solitaire :P

And the screen still lights up between songs in WMP which is a complete waste of battery when WMP is background playing.

Although I did notice the screen goes a little dimmer after a couple of seconds of no keypresses. Anyone know if that was in the last version?

[Guest Cybertronic]

The screen does go dimmer after a few seconds, I thought this feature was implemented when the SPV E200 came out? :?

[Guest Toyota-F1.com]

Although I did notice the screen goes a little dimmer after a couple of seconds of no keypresses. Anyone know if that was in the last version?

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.

[Guest CaptainZok]

The upgrade seems to cure the prob with the M3000 headset switching itself off a minute or so into a call, or at least it ain't done it so far so fingers crossed its fixed. :P
