Software update version 1.50 for SPV available NOW

[Guest ContactBot]

Software update version 1.50 for Orange SPV for users in Switzerland (non-E.U. Europe), is available .

It is not clear whether this update would work with SPV phones from other countries, and of course Orange strongly advise against installing updates from other territories.

I'm confused :? Mines all still in "UK English" :?: Apart from the SMS counter that only works if you type the number in (rather than select a contact) I can't find anything different :shock:

Have I done something wrong :?:

Ah, I did a hard reset after installing that blew away the IPSM, guess you didn't?

[Guest StoutMan]

So do u advise downloading and installing it or just wait for the uk version.

If you say install it, what are the advantages of the update other than a different number.

:roll:

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Current advice would be don't bother unless you are in the Swiss territory...

[Guest StoutMan]

ok thanks

[Guest Simon Desser]

:roll:

I wish I knew :? I cant see anything new other than an SMS counter that only works if you know the persons number off by heart :roll: and a slightly quicker boot time.

Maybe Paul knows some more :?:

When I install it I get this:

[Guest Paul [MVP]]

Drop to the bootloader screen, then run it (i.e. remove SD card, turn device on with memo and power button held, and hit the action button).

[Guest dmmh]

ah I will try that thanks :lol:

update went fine btw, from Dutch 1.37 to English 1.50. Half the menus are in Dutch, the other half in English though lol. But its way more responsive, so Im cool with it.

it rocks :lol:

Streaming radio works again without buffering! I've got at least a month to take advantage of it!

EDIT:- Not sure about this now? It seems to buffer every 30 seconds instead of every 5 :shock:

So far - touch wood - I have not had the dreaded freeze on dialling... when connecting to GPRS!

If that bug alone is fixed, it is a worthy update!

I also note that one of the default favourites is set to SmartPhony... interesting!
