Guest nixy Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 My brother came to stay last weekend from Taverny and so I had a go on his new E200 for a bit. Must say.....having had enough of the joke of a control stick on my E100, I personally am sold on the new control alone. Wandering around the OS and playing FIRE game on it was a joy. I dont know where it came from but several of his mates have the phones over there too...?? I didnt have a chance to take any snaps so cant comment on camera function. (It did look very tidy and usable though.) Having the camera built in is a big plus for me as I enjoy using my phone when out and about as I'm forver taking snaps for my blogs. Not having to remember to pocket the camera everytime I go out sounds wonderful and having a just got me a bluetooth pcmcia card for my portable makes for a worthwhile reason for me to upgrade. Anyway.....am at the moment looking forward to the forthcoming Orange spv updated Rom on the 15th? So I am going to see what that does and take it from there.

Guest hecatae Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 been reliably informed this build will be available 15th november. Oh, and hi everyone, I'm new here but you've probably heard the name on w@mob, hofo, esato and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest morpheus2702 Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Hiya Hecatae and welcome. Lambert - the 1.6 update is not a beta, though it is being tested by the MoDaCo mods at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LAMBERTJ08 Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 Yes and not, it is not a final version and it is not me who said... it is a Swiss who had the 1.6 between hands :!: He even said as it was not possible to cut the signature on a SPV with this ROM 1.6 with the method Orange and as the bootloader was the even worse than the last ROM SMART :!: And then he also said as it was impossible to install this ROM 1.6 since the ROM QTEK 1.5 :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martin Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 I think I might just wait for a QTEK upgrade or stick with QTEK 1.5 unless there is a big incentive to go for Orange 1.6 Posted from my SmartPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shimmip Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Er it all depends how you get into the inbox :? If you go in via the http://smartphone.MoDaCo.com/viewtopic.php?t=714>homescreen pressing back takes you back to the http://smartphone.MoDaCo.com/viewtopic.php?t=714>homescreen (as it should). If you go in via the Programs menu pressing back takes you back to the Programs menue (as it should). Nope, you're not understanding what he's saying. The problem is when you press "back" to get back from an individual message into the inbox, the OS frequently does a "double back" and takes you through the inbox back into the home screen or the programs menu. It does not matter which way you get into the inbox. It is VERY annoying, especially if you use the SPV extensively for texts and e-mails, which I do.

Guest shimmip Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Nope it dont do that either :( If you are in a message and press back it will return you to the inbox :) Err, yes it does. It works correctly about 20% of the time and does as you describe but about 80% of the time it does a "double back" on my phone and is a fairly common issue amongst friends of mine that have SPVs. I suspect it may be a build issue (though I've had 3 SPVs and its happened with all 3) and hence crops up on only some phones. This may be why you haven't experienced it, but please don't tell me what does and does not happen on my phone :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
