Guest its_millertime22 Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Strange that they've decided to bundle the new ROM with Radio 1.03 since i-mate went with 1.09... Will have to see if it's as stable as they obviously think it is. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pd.ryder Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Sorry to be thick, but what is A2DP and MSFP? Why would I need it and what does it do?? (Oh, and what does it stand for?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 A2DP = enables stereo bluetooth headphone profiles, so you can play your mp3's over BT headphones. MSFP = Messaging and Security Feature Pack, more for corporate users than personal, allows allways up to date email, remote device wipe, etc.... Incedentally msmobiles has a quote from Orange saying there will be a further update in the summer to enable A2DP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Skilty Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Did the update last night - mainly due to the fact my M5000 kept trying to connect with the internet and running up a £100 wap data bill for February. (God knows how I managed to use 38mb of wap, but Orange are looking into it!) Anyway, I thought I'd post my findings so far: Device does seem quicker, menu's pop up faster and I've yet to see the "loading" symbol once! different front end when you configure the device; new windows mobile blue splash screen. U symbol on the top bar has been replaced by a 3G symbol. I don't know whether the device lock option for the today screen was in the previous rom (I can't remember seeing it, or using it) but it's definately there now. New "Comm Manager". New interface thats replaced the old Phone/Bluetooth/Wifi switcher program. There seems to be a few new options on this. I have'nt played around with it yet but it comprises of: Phone/Bluetooth/Wifi as before but now also has a PDA symbol, Sound/vibrate option, activesync, and Message symbol (which is probably linked to the new push email facility (not tried that yet either!) Thats about all I've found so far. However here's a couple of strange things that have happened since the update: Activesync set up quite easily (I know that's strange in itself!) but it would not allow me to sync my Outlook contacts back to the device. I had to use a contact back up program I got off the BuzDev website. This was'nt a problem for me before. The other one is I had quite a few tsk files in my windows/documents folder before the update. All of which disappeared after the update except one. Silverado.tsk. Now I got that file originally by using Wisbar Advance 2 and WAD and It's confusing me as to how it was still on the device. Either it has stayed on the device after the update somehow or Orange have shipped this with the new rom?? Anyone shed any light on this or am I being the complete noob that I am? :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jasonkruys Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Also there appears to be much less in the notification queue, and no duplicates! Battery Icon has been removed from the system tray, and put up on the top bar. doesnt seem to show much in the way of varying battery status.

Guest buono Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) Does seem faster. Annoyingly, the constant appearance of the battery icon in the top bar (which I do not need as I use Pocket Plus) has removed the time from the top bar. Seems not way of removing the battery icon or getting the time back! It ruined my Opera browser though. Now displays the wingdings font in the address bar and in form fields. Fixed thanks to the advice given HERE. Edited March 18, 2006 by buono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did say at the end that 4.1 is now required.. I did notice that 4.1 wouldn't sync before the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Skilty Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Bluemeat - yeah I'm using 4.1. It just won't sync my outlook contacts back to the device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 To fix the Opera problem, copy the Arial font from \Windows\Fonts on your Desktop PC to \Windows\Fonts on your Pocket PC. Sorted ;) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed thanks to the advice given HERE. According to MS blogs, They put the battery icon up there to be consistent with WM 5 for DumbPhone and after feedback from users. Certainly wasn't this user! Anyhow, if you set the Settings -> Clocks and Alarms -> More -> Display the clock on the title bar... setting, only Today shows the battery, everything else shows the time. Apparently MS realised whoops! we upset some users, so there is now an AKU2.2 with a reg setting in to change back - but you can bet Orange will never get around to releasing it!
