Guest nixy Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 I wonder if it will end up being this side of xmas. I really miss being able to use the msn messenger software . I wonder if santa will bring it if I am a good boy.
Guest drblow Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 its only a phone and its only an update.... get a life! Posted from my SmartPhone! Says the boy in the pub playing with his mobile phone!!?? :shock: Get a sense of humour!! :wink:
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted November 21, 2003 Report Posted November 21, 2003 Ive got my E-200 and was going to give my SPV to some guy in my local cos its pretty screwed up. But Ive decided t oexperiment instead. Heres my idea. You guys tell me the most likely foreign update that wont totally screw up our SPV's and I'll install in on mine and see how we go ? spacecowboy
Guest morpheus2702 Posted November 22, 2003 Report Posted November 22, 2003 Well just to piss all us 1.6-waiters off, the 1.7 Smart update has appeared. But word is it screws your phone up.
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted November 22, 2003 Report Posted November 22, 2003 Hmm, and a hard reset wont cure it ? If I try this - does anyone know a way to "get out of it" ? spacecowboy
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted November 22, 2003 Report Posted November 22, 2003 Ok - just tried it twice and I get the following error both times : Error 117 : Invalid Model ID Your smartphone must be a SmartPhone and beyond. Please check manufactuers website... etc etc. spacecowboy
Guest lgingell Posted November 22, 2003 Report Posted November 22, 2003 spacecowboy, i think you need to get the phone in bootloader mode to get around that error...HOWEVER i read on a thread that the SMART updates in the past lock the phone to their network only! I've seen that some people have been using the imate update, perhaps you could do that? ..lance (with an SPV waiting for 1.6 impatiently)
Guest nixy Posted November 22, 2003 Report Posted November 22, 2003 I have been an i-Mate fan for god knows how long. I began using it after the Eurosmell and Q-Techy caused t-9 problems etc. I can fully recoment it as it does exactly what is says on the bottle.... nixy Oh...and the battery life is not too bad either nor is the IA software.

Did you manage to configure your GPRS settings etc after the install ? Its not like you had to phone Orange after for "help" :lol: ? spacecowboy

Its not like you had to phone Orange after for "help" :lol: ? spacecowboy I take it you are attempting to take the p....??? ....if you are being serious the answer is no. I have all the settings for most of the worlds cellular operators on file. I have everything backed up and just resink the erased and newly rom updated spv via i-sync (international edition)....and just tell it to "setup: orange UK.......thats it basically. The app does the lot. Its a french application I was sent that backs up the complete phone if neccessary as well as reinstall more or less whatever as well as a few other tricks. nixy ;)
Guest dbcohen Posted November 22, 2003 Report Posted November 22, 2003 Mr Orange has been very quiet about this so far. Can we get a comment, based on his inside knowledge? I for one am a little tired of reading this forum day by day, and neither Mr Orange or Paul seem able to provide us with some concrete info. I am not trying to flame the guys, I just thought that was the level of inside gen that was available to Modaco users.
Guest morpheus2702 Posted November 22, 2003 Report Posted November 22, 2003 Mr O has been pretty active today in answering some of the questions posed this week - but I agree, a lot of the responses we get are very selective. Even if it is simply to say 'we don't know' or 'there is no firm information yet', I for one would certainly appreciate it. There's no shame in saying 'I don't know'.
Guest jcinfo Posted November 22, 2003 Report Posted November 22, 2003 "1.6 Update when?" YES , When ????????????????????????? midle november , but 2003, 2004 ?? 20XX , 2XXX ?????? Orange ??? Wake up ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! :evil: UP ! :evil:

I do know it's just that I hate being wrong, as I have said before I am off to Taiwan via Tokyo tomorrow morning. The purpose of the trip is to go over the 1.6 launch plan review launch of e200 etc and look at next years products. If any of you are in Heathrow terminal 4 tomorrow say Hi and I may even upgrade your phone with the internal test version that the moderators are using. Best I can do for now I'm afraid.
Guest darkeye1974 Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 just been searching armadillo and found a copy of 1.6 probably fake but worth a look i suppose let you know when it finishes downloading :twisted:
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 Is't armadillo P2P ? I'd watch out you guys dont get busted for discussing it. Its a MoDaCo no-no :lol: spacecowboy
Guest jcinfo Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 just been searching armadillo and found a copy of 1.6 probably fake but worth a look i suppose let you know when it finishes downloading :twisted: Not fake :wink:
Guest martinwcooper Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 Is't armadillo P2P ? I'd watch out you guys dont get busted for discussing it. Its a MoDaCo no-no Fine as a general rule, but given that he's legitimately purchased the original software then I think it's fair enough to download a bug fix for it! :lol:
Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 found a copy of 1.6 Does he not mean a dodgy 1.6 update :? Hardly a bug fix...
Guest martinwcooper Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 Does he not mean a dodgy 1.6 update Hardly a bug fix... Probably - I'm not saying it's wise to try - but I think it's fair game if he wants to have go. Obviously you can hardly go whingeing to Orange though if you fry your phone with something you downloaded over P2P! :shock:
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted November 23, 2003 Report Posted November 23, 2003 Please don't post the filename here. P
Guest dbcohen Posted November 24, 2003 Report Posted November 24, 2003 Don't get excited, guys. I downloaded it and it is the leaked Dutch version. I have decided that I am going to take up Eurofone and get an E200, instead of waiting to see if the update delivers the goods. Of course, the cynical could suggest that the delayed update is a deliberate strategy to drive E200 upgrades at top whack...
Guest jcinfo Posted November 24, 2003 Report Posted November 24, 2003 Is monday 24 november ! ! :evil: Orange Wake Up !!!!!!!!!!Finish to drink you coffee!! and upload the 1.6 please or Mobile2003 for SPV/E100 :lol:
Guest notoco Posted November 24, 2003 Report Posted November 24, 2003 Hhahahaha :lol: ;) :) :( Good one jcinfo ...... If everythin would work this way the world will be close to perfect! I liek you aproche in to this! :)
