Guest pete_thomson Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Sorry m8 - my question was how do I back up the database for T9? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can you not copy \Storage\Application Data\T9AW.CDB and \Storage\Application Data\T9AW.UDB off the phone and then replace it after the upgrade??
Guest confused and hungover Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 cheers for the advice Peekie, it's working :) :D :D
Guest colincliff Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 hi confused and hungover, how did you get your phone to update in the end. I'm getting the samne problems with the three colour screen. I have the french rom thanks
Guest confused and hungover Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 check out this link, it gives instructions on how to install the Qtek version, but you can apply the same thing to the UK rom http://www.modaco.com/Install_newest_QTek_...00-t207547.html
Guest bullitt Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 does this update work on a dutch c500?
Guest confused and hungover Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 bizzarely my C500 (dutch) seems to have done the UK update and kept the application lock unlocked... sweet :)
Guest Griff_FFOC Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 For those asking if it removes contacts /pictures. You can either sync your phone with active sync and put them into Outlook, or use the Orange Backup from the Orange menu option. Then update the phone and either sync it with outlook again or run the restore from the Orange menu on the phone. As with pictures just use the data cable and copy them onto your PC temporarily. I''m just downloading the update now, and once my phone is charged I'll give it a shot. :)

So i'm not quite sure where your problem is.
Guest rmossuk Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 I have just installed this ROM and all seemed to go ok but have just noticed that my phone is now stuck in the Headset profile all of the time. Even if trying to change to one of the other profiles it reverts straight back to the headset profile. Has anyone seen this behaviour before or have any ideas of a solution/workaround. Any help would be appricated as ringtones are completly inaudible in headset profile unless you actually have a headset plugged in. Many thanks.
Guest sSword Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 (edited) can anyone verify if multikey press is working with this rom. some people have been claiming that it has been fixed The leaked ROM does not fix multipress..... :) so i assume the offical ROM will be no diff :oops: Edited July 12, 2005 by sSword
Guest sSword Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 hmm, the orange site is being ghey no matter how I get there it keeps saying 'sorry an error has occured' then bounces me back to the main page.

So i'm not quite sure where your problem is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It occurrs when you use Orange Restore to return the data to your phone. The returned data is not (or certainly WAS not) compatible with Outlook. This may have changed if Orange have sorted out the service or if Activesync 4 can deal with the conflict.

Many thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> sounds strange that this happens after/as the result of the upgrade. I have had this before, it seems to be that some sort of switch/sensor in the headphone socket handles setting the headset profile. To fix the problem I had to spend a while inserting and removing the headphone jack until the switch correctly registered the removal. (slowly does it!) ;-]
Guest moosery Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 clicky noises (through headset). Not while playing music but with the system sounds. Eg, keypress blip is followed by short "crackle". I turned off as many system sounds as I can and it's not crucial to me, but...! Defo didnt happen before this update. And it's not the infamous 17 second hiss noise either. anyone else, or am I alone on this one?

Obviously one of the first things I did after the rom update was to try out some MP3s probably what kicked that one off!

Guest merguez Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 do you know if Bluetooth ActiveSync works only if the "Connect via BT" is in 4th position in the menu, or both 3 and 4, like in the French ROM ? thanks
Guest gommie1979 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 I highly recommend leaving your C500 in the state it is in. Moosery, I can confirn the update causes all manner of clicks and humms to the headset. Which makes my purchase of decent headphones a joke. It also means WM10 is pointless. Congrats Orange on another fine reason to buy a C550!! :evil: Anyone know where I can get the old rom file so I can downgrade?

I listen to mp3s to and from work every day and have had the new ROM for a while now no clicks and humms here..... the ch00nz still sound great on my turbosound earphones :-({|=
Guest colincliff Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 old c500 rom: http://web.orange.co.uk/yourphone/spvc500/...l?id=sm_1137635 follow instructions here to downgrade: http://www.mobismart.net/forums/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=683 I followed the process to downgrade from the French upgrade ROM so i could install the new English update Rom. Haven't noticed the sound problems yet
Guest gommie1979 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Thanks colincliff, In the process of downgrading. The clicking seems to appear at the beginning and end of any system sound, so while you are navigating it is now a cacophony of noise. Not a major fault I know but after playing with WM10 for 10 minutes I know I'll be sticking with Betaplayer. Also the added symbols freak me óût!
