Guest tazmania Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 I just conducted a ROM-Update from Orange Switzerland and now I cannot trick the simlock anymore by changing SIM-Cards while the phone is running! beware!
Guest Shuflie Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 Any other news on what it does for your phone then? The SIM lock workaround was an obvious bug that would get ironed out but are there any positive aspects to the update?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 How did you get the update? I have my Locale set to 'German (Switzerland)', and it's not finding an update? P
Guest tazmania Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 well, this morning i got a short message stating the update was ready for downloading. then i just used orange update. have a look at this: http://www.orange.ch/spv/en/update.htm the only obvious change i noticed so far is a new option in the message program: besides "new message" and "new mms" is a new point called "from camera". i couldn't check it out because i don't have my cam here. that's all i noticed up to now, but the update was pretty extensive, restarting 3 times and a download of 700 kb!
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 What is your locale set to? P
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 Doh... No update available for me, even after changing my locale! :D P
Guest tazmania Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 it's set to German (Switzerland). the update was located in the "orange updates" folder, not in "critical updates"...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 Bizarre... Any other UK'ers had success? P
Guest tazmania Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 btw, i am from switzerland, too
Guest xanadu Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 Paul, I think the Subscribers in Switzerland may be being used as Beta-testers for this update. It's no use trying to make your phone get the update in the UK, as the network knows your home country from the details stored on your sim card, and the subscriber information stored at the HLR (Home Location Register). You will need a Swiss Sim to get the update.
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 Well, the previous Swiss only updates *were* available by changing the locale - and indeed the Orange page above specifies locales that may receive the update. Anyone from Action Engine care to comment? (Ron?) It is unlikely that the Action Update software would pass anything stored in the HLR! P
Guest SAL9000 Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 Paul, the update is not working on all phones. There seems to be a bug, as reported by Orange. Anyway, it's true. Swiss costumers are just beta testers. When the update will be available in UK, it will work for certain. SAL9000
Guest kernowmagic Posted December 23, 2002 Report Posted December 23, 2002 Paul It worked for me i changed the local and i had a choice what i could download it had 6 ringtones which the only ones were any good was the rock ringtone and the vocals ringtone. It alos had a orange media player which i think is used for live radio streaming but i could not get it to work. The ringtones are downloaded into my documents on the phone so you have to cut and paste them into your sounds dir.
Guest Rog Posted December 24, 2002 Report Posted December 24, 2002 Kernow - that is not the update under discussion here! The ring tones and media player are available (don't rate the ring tones personally) for all who change locale settings! :?
