Toshiba TG01, possible update?


Recommended Posts

Hi all

While at work today I received a message on my TG01 that said something along the lines of " There is an update available for your handset, connect to windows PC to continue". As I was at work I had to dismiss the message and it hasn't showed since. Has anyone else received this and tried it?

I was reading the topic on poor quality call and someone was told by toshiba that there was an update coming, perhaps this is it. Although probably not if no-one else got this message. I'm already on winmo 6.5 incase you are wondering.

Lastly, I currently do not own a windows pc and only have a mac, is it still possible to get this update if I receive the message again?

cheers

Just tried downloading from the site. All I got was the same old update. No new update for me yet. I'm on Orange, UK.

I did get an email from Toshiba after several emails to them, saying that they were working on an update. It took me a long time to get a response, and there was no apology for the inconvenience of the software faults, or any explanation for the problems reported. Even if they fix this, it will be a long time before I consider buying a phone from Toshiba. Their support is like an insult, considering the fact I bought their product and have stayed loyal despite 6 months of problems.

There is so far no update I was able to download via Microsoft update process.

Received the following today from Toshiba Support following a lengthy exchange - basically I had asked what was happening re the WinMo 6.5.3 which has been demo'd publically by Microsoft on a TG01. I also asked specifically about non-branded ROMs becoming available and the reply to that was that there wouldn't be.

Tantalising with no detail, but maybe something on the horizon !

i asked them a further question regards 20% power restriction and specifically asked why they have not posted an update on there own site, instead of waiting for operators to give them the green light. i basically said u make the device, surely you should know if your call quality, sound level fix/update is working!!!

i also asked them when it will be available but i don't think they now themselves.

plus i actually cheekily said your computers are good builds and run generally alright, why not tg01, no reply!

maybe sometime this year update will be released!

More background information here...

Not TG01 specific, but paints a plausible background picture against which the Toshiba email above appears to make sense.

I'm still waiting for upgrade cause the weird noises and the awful voice fidelity.

Thanks

i got a msg (that has now disapeared) that amounted to

'hi & welcome to windows mobile - if you connect your phone to a PC there may be an update for you'

this was after i've had the phone about a month...

there's a 'updates' section in active sync as was (which seems to do sweet f a)

cheers

all the orange site has is

software update (Windows Mobile 6.5) for your Toshiba TG01

This new software will make your current TG01 a Windows® phone, running Windows Mobile® 6.5. This will give you access to the Microsoft® Marketplace applications store and My Phone, together with a choice of home screens.

nothing on the toshiba site...

by gut feeling (what ever thats worth) is the any call quality fix will come from orange...
