Guest Disco Stu Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Right I did it. OTA unlock within seconds. Installed Sprite and restored from storage card. Reinstalled ActiveSync :oops: Everything else seemed to be working fine. Sprite reinstalled ClearType - how did we do without it ?! Then I checked IA Caller ID and all my settings have gone :P Is there a way to get them back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dreamweavel Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Anyone know if T9 is fixed ? Nope, I've lost my T9 at least once a day since i installed the upgrade 4 days ago :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blakey Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 What do you mean by "lost your T9" ? My experience was painless. I've also installed loads less crap on the phone since the upgrade which I'm hoping will keep it cleaner and hopefully faster. I played around with my mobipocket reader and mapopolis for ages last night without a single card hang. Bodes well, but it's early days. Am going to leave it and see how long the phone lasts without charging now. One thing that I did notice is that it seems to shut down and start up loads quicker now - although that might be a function of not loading up so much stuff up front...

Guest elvie Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 still can't connect to the internet after upgrading, anybody have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jbrare Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Had exactly the same problem, I spoke to Orange tech support who told me to edit my data connections, GPRS Connections, Orange GPRS goto primary DNS and put in 158.43.192.1 then in secondary DNS put in 158.43.128.1 this worked for me, GPRS is much better now. Hope this helps. :P JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest robpow Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Anyone figured out how to stop it from disconnecting the GPRS session when you lock the keyboard? What on earth made them think it would be a good idea to drop all data sessions because you lock the keyboard? Do these new ROM upgrades get beta tested outside of Orange?

Guest bauer Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 installing the new rom update has resulted in my phone not turning on, and only enetering boot loader mode, has anyone else encountered a similar problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martin Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 bauer Try a hard reset first and if that doesn't work then re-install the ROM with the phone in tri-colour canary screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dreamweavel Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Blakey wrote What do you mean by "lost your T9" ? Usually once or twice a day while using messenger or typing a text message i go to type a word I know i've added to the T9 dictionary and it no longer exists; in fact none of the words i added are there any more. I have to close messenger/inbox and copy one i keep backed up on my SD card back into the system folder .... It's been the same with both the previous Orange ROMs and i was sort of hoping they'd have cracked it by now :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest elvie Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Ok, so still no GPRS action happening here!! Rang Orange yesterday, sent me some new setting, zilch happened. Rang Orange today, couldn't help so it's been sent of to the infamous 'technical department' [turn around up to 12 days...] Don't know about you guys, but this is an ongoing problem with my E200. Approximately once a month, for no rhyme-or-reason, the GPRS decides not to work and usually takes a bout 3-4 calls to orange, about an hour of my time, with each person telling me different solutions, and then finally, seemingly us-assisted by orange [i've never been able to narrow it done to one piece of advice] the GPRS will suddenly work again..... Until the next time!! Getting very sick of it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pizdyetz77 Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Some people are saying that the "SD Bug" has been fixed . . . What bug are they referring to? Does this refer to the E200 previously not recognising 'multi-layered' cards and now it does? I'm just about to send back a Viking 256Mb that will only read and not write. Should I send it back or just update the ROM? Thanks, GH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dombates Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 The SD card bug refers to the problem where the phone inexplicably stops recognising the SD card, rendering the card's contents temporarily or sometimes permanently inaccessible until the card is ejected and re-inserted. This causes a number of problems - for me the worst being that Windows Media Player randomly jumps to the next track. This is very frustrating during long mixes, especially given the lack of fast forward. Anyone know whether this issue has significantly improved since the latest update? There seems to be a mixed response on this thread so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blakey Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I've been updated for only 2 days now (sounds like some sort of addiction therepy...) and I've not had any lock ups on my phone at all. Previously it locked up fairly often but I couldn't say exactly how frequently. I've also noticed improved battery life like many others. Again, couldn't put a figure on it. It's too early to say that I'm 100% happy with the upgrade but as far as the last 2 days is concerned everything has been better than before.

Guest pizdyetz77 Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Thanks for the answer. Is anyone able to try using one of these 'multi-layered' cards under the new ROM to test it? I read elsewhere that the original SPV accepted these cards and that the E200s inability to do so is a software rather than hardware issue. I'm away at the moment and can't update myself so if someone could try to write to one of these cards & let us all know, I for one will be grateful.
