Guest Speedy Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Hey all you danes out there. Did you notice that when composing your sms they have added a letter count in the top left corner. jubiiiiii :) ;) Great stuff from o, i must say i have regained some trust in them even though i took them way too long to do this. How do i add words to the T9 dictionary, cant get i to work. Ha det godt, Anders
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Letter count? I can't see it? OK, I'm using my newly-DK-updated SPV in US English but surely it should be the same in all languages?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 That's interesting, the DK update must contain an MS part then! P
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 It does indeed. Some versions for you: Operator/Manufacturer/language: 1.3.6.24 Microsoft/File System: 3.0.13059.0 Was going to post these just as modaco crashed on me and hour or so ago :) ....but I'll be buggered if I can see a character count :?
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Can someone confirm a character count or not? I will lock the thread if it proves not to be the case. P
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Paul: I've just tried my SPV in Danish and US english, I'll be damned if I can see any character count anywhere. Anyone else?
Guest KimMadsen Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 It does indeed have a counter in the form: xx/160 It only shows when the To field contains a phone number (ie. its a SMS, not an email) best regards Kim Madsen
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Nice! Time to get it onto my UK phone :) P
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 It does indeed have a counter in the form: xx/160 It only shows when the To field contains a phone number (ie. its a SMS, not an email) LOL And NOT if you add a contact, no matter whether it's an SMS or email, i.e. if it says "[name] (SMS);" MS think we should type the phone number every time, it seems. Uh-huh. Like none of us ever use our contacts to send SMS, do we? What a flipping joke. A crap, hopeless and sub-Bernard Manning joke. Pathetic. :evil:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Er, OK. What on earth is that all about? Tut tut... P
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 An amazing oversight. I *never* use the phone number, always my contacts-list. I've checked and checked again, this looks like one for bug-track....
Guest KimMadsen Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 I think you overinterpret what I said. I have no idea if it shows writing something else which is an SMS address, but I guess it does. Chill. You are too negative... it cannot be healthy :)
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 What? When I've selected the contact from the "Add to:" option then it just says "New Message" in the top left. Too negative? I don't think so - there's nothing negative about commenting on a feature that doesn't work properly. The character-count only seems to show when a telephone number is typed manually in the To: line, that's a bug if you ask me.
Guest bech Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 I agree with chris. This is a complete joke, Orange got to get more professional. Bech
Guest KimMadsen Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 I've also noticed several other things: 1) USB does not enable until the homescreen is shown. Ie. makes it impossible to decert the old way. 2) The phone certainly seems to be transmitting alot more powerful than before. When transmitting GPRS signals my wireless mouse behaves eratically... never done that before. 3) The GPRS autoconnects without manually activating any applications. That means that both the big and small G is shown. 4) Several accented letters are available in the T9 and abc input methods. Symbol list not changed. 5) Bootloader changed to 0.98. That means that its not possible selectively to load parts of a backup. Its all or nothing. 6) T9 works with both english and danish words automatically. Some english words seems to be missing (like query) though.
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 bech: it's MS in this case, not Orange (for once :)
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 A clarification is necessary here: when a contact sends an SMS, their name (as per the contact-list) is listed in the "To:" line yet the character count works fine. It seems to be *only* when composing a new message using the contacts-list that the count isn't displayed.
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Yep, I can also confirm this. Character Count definitely only works if you type the number in manually, what a joke! AND, to top it all, the annoying BONG sound is still there in silent mode :) P
Guest eibsen Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Hmmm. Tried de-certing the new Danish update several times now - just doesn't want to do it. I see others noticed the difference in boot-up sequence as well, so that ActiveSync doesn't connect until after the homescreen is shown. Tried copying the provxml-fil with AND without the 4211-line - same crappy result with both methods. :cry: Tried with the phone in both DK and UK language mode - same result. :x Anybody got any ideas on how to de-cert this freak of nature now? :?: thx.
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 "]Yep, I can also confirm this. Character Count definitely only works if you type the number in manually, what a joke! AND, to top it all, the annoying BONG sound is still there in silent mode :) BUT, and it's a big "but", the T9 now remembers words over a power-cycle. Yes! Sweary-SMS ahoy, cap'n. About time too ;)
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 So the only way to de-cert will be with an IPSM backup. How about, Make a backup of the WinCE area of new update to SD Install old DK update Remove App Unlock Restore WinCE area from SD Voila! Should work... P
Guest ChrisL Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Sorry if this sounds ignorant, but have the Danes got a second update...or did it just take them this log to realise that there was a counter :?: :roll: Second, is there any way we can get this on our lowly UK fones? Would be cool...although I expect the answer will be no because it's in the ROM. (Sorry, i feel like a retard, didnt even bother to read the earlier post bout Danish Update - DOH :shock: )
Guest Chris b.a.r.f. Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 ChrisL: It's the second update we've had in Denmark. It would *not* necessarily be cool for you to have it as it looks like the unlock-process has been made infinitely more difficult.
Guest Vector Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 And a locked phone would be terrible, i'm having flash backs of having to pay for all my games and watching jumpy movies in windows media player and having loads of programs running in the background. aaahhhhh
