Guest stretchie Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 No problem Fozzie. Infact I am sure you were the one who pointed out the possibility of it being a version problem with my BT. I'm trying my hans with skins and stuff so I hope to be able to post a useful message (hopefully with a nice skin for everybody) soon. TRYING being the operative word. NEVER used any language but English before, and the odd four letter French word :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AleT Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Haven't seen anyone mention this here yet, but it looks like both the bluetooth receive file size issue and the deleting too many characters in the IE address bar issue have been sorted by this update! Ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ArtyCarl Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Like a few others i'm frustrated in that I cant seem to get the updating done. I've tried every suggestion and still it remains unupdated with the error 264. Ho hum...such is life at the cutting edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jothebulb Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hi, New here, and have spent a while reading the back catalogue of issues with the C500. My question is that I have still got a couple of days to run in the Orange 7-day return window. My phone has locked me out of the sim card so far (Orange yet to tell me how to get round this; fixed it myself), pressing the '1' key to dial answerphone means nothing happens, and key presses whilst talking to an automated response phone system have no effect (which is a major problem reporting the fault to Orange's own system or picking up voice mail...). Orange tell me it could be up to nine days before tech. services get back to me with a solution Quick question: do I use the opportunity to return the phone under the seven days return policy? Thanks... Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pisquee Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 You need to tell the phone which number to phone for voice mail ... settings>phone>call options Not sure why it would lock you out of your SIM card. DTMF tones should work in call, they sure do on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jothebulb Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Blimey you're right. Checked the settings, and no number entered for the voicemail. That's the first Orange phone I've ever had that hadn't had this set up, right from the box. That's duff, isn't it? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Digital_Carnage Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Installed update and worked first time no probs. I have have noticed that the GPRS speed of sending MMS's for me seems to be a lot quicker. Still the annoying tsss though on WMP. Have noticed that this only happens to me when the backlight is off, WMP moves on to the next track and the backlight suddenly springs back to life making the tune tsss. Dunno if this helps??? Still a happy C500 owner. Love the phone ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PDAHazzard Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Can anyone please inform me if I can use this update on my Orange SPV c500 bought in the Netherlands as well? :?: :roll: Regards, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 You can use it on non UK phones but it will change all your settings to UK settings. It's probably best to wait until your local supplier releases it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drpellypo Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 The update has gotten rid of the 'doink' message when you compose a new SMS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest theSandmanCymru Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Hi First thing - this is my first post - so please bear with me :lol: I have had my phone for 2 months now and I have had quite a few 'basic' problems. The mad thing is - is that they have all been really basic!!! I can put my DVD's on it and watch them fine - though the sound is a bit 'farty'. But using the alarm clock function was a nightmare!!! It would not go off at the set time - hence two days late at work!!! Then I found out that after I set the alarm for say 4pm and then changed it to 5:45 am - it would not go off at 5:45am - the time shown - but at 4pm !!! The time I originally tested it to make sure the noise would wake me up!!! At 5:45am instead of ringing - it would freeze!! I would have to tuen it off and back on again to use the phone. Of course, muttering to myself on the way to work late!!! Did the update - everything seemed fine. Until I played an MP3 to my girlfriend through the head set - when I noticed my phone was playing sound through the phones speakers and the headset at the same time. Turned it off and back on - then it was only playing through the head set - great! or so it would seem. The following day I tried to make a phone call (no earphones plugged it). I could hear no dialing ring - but looking at the screen it seemed the call was connected and I could hear nothing. I discovered that the phone was stuck on its headset settings and I could not change it to normal :D So I could only use the phone when the earphones/headset was in!! A call to Orange - they said my phone was faulty - and fair play - the following day (today) I have just had a replacement. BUT - the replacement has the old version ROM - not the update! Surely the new phones should have the update. Now questions please :D 1. Anyone else had basic problems with the phone? or was I just unlucky? Like I say - playing DVD's is fine - which is awesome!!! But using it as a phone not so!!! 2. I use windows Media Player that came with the phone to play MP3's - it seems fine on my old phone - not heared any Tsss either. But, when I look at playlist it just lists all my songs in the order I put them on. Is there any way I can get it to display by album/group, etc - otherwise I have to scrool through loads of songs to fine what I want? Should I use other software for playing MP3's and if so what? 3. Is there a way that I can get better sound from DVD's - I use is it Betaplayer?? and DVD to Smartphone. I find I have to turn the sound up load and it gets 'farty' or distorted. Bear in mind that I listen/watch them on the train to work - which is noisy - so I have to turn up the sound to be able to hear the film. I have to say the phone seems brilliant - if not for these problems - and everyone I have shown it to is twitching to get one for themselves ;) (I have a 256MB card installed by the way) (oh and can I say that this forum is brilliant too - have not long found it and everyone on it rocks!!!!!)

Guest Confucious Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Welsh Sandman - you were unlucky. there maybe a "never ending2 list of bugs but most have been fixed or do not affect the majority of users. If you look in the c500 forum you should find answers to most of your questions. I thinks it's a great phone. Good luck with your replacement :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
