Guest mwille Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 So everybody is really excited about the 1.61 update coming, and of course so am I. I'm geussing everybody has their own question about the update which would influence their decision to upgrade or not. It's just that all these questions are now spread over 20+ pages in severall threads. So here's the idea, y'all post the things you absolutely need to know before you apply the update and I will edit this first post with your questions. In the end we'll have a nice complete list of things we then hope our Mod's will kindly look in to / answer for us :lol: Sooooo, bring 'm on ! Oh, and let's keep 'm relevant shall we, just questions answerable with a simple YES or NO 8) Here's what we've got so far : :!: 1. Will the 1.61 update reactivate my simlock ? :!: 2. Can I, after going to 1.61 still go back to Qtek 1.50.9.1 or I-mate or any other ROM for that matter ? :!: 3. Will the new bootloader still alow the backup of IPSM etc. via USBterm ? :!: 4. Will the uncertification method with the Orange Developer site still work? :!: 5. If I make a backup of my current IPSM, can I restore it on the 1.6.1 update? :!: 6. Will it have a proper T9 Dictionary, where you can add you own words and give alternatives like my old Nokia 7110, which I have gone back to using? :!: 7. Does it still spend most of the time on the egg timer when you are trying to send an SMS message ? :!: 8. Will it fix the stuck on dialling GPRS bug? markhammill wrote: :!: 9. Will it work on my MPX200? :!: 10. My MPX200 ROM has voice dial, does this? Now show me yours !
Guest roke Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 ok, next: :!: 4. Will the uncertification method with the Orange Developer site still work? :!: 5. If I make a backup of my current IPSM, can I restore it on the 1.6.1 update?
Guest xanadu Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 :!: 6. Will it have a proper T9 Dictionary, where you can add you own words and give alternatives like my old Nokia 7110, which I have gone back to using? :!: 7. Does it still spend most of the time on the egg timer when you are trying to send an SMS message ? If these are not fixed I will not be using my SPV anymore as it is too slow and unreliable when it comes to sending and receiving text messages.
Guest cyrilthefish Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 :!: 8. Will it fix the stuck on dialling GPRS bug?
Guest mwille Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 It's catchin' on :lol: Come on guys, we need more in order to make this real interesting !

Guest cyrilthefish Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 :!: Does it make the tea? hehehe :lol:
Guest mwille Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 :!: Does it make the tea? hehehe :lol: Me being Dutch I'd rather have it make coffee 8)
Guest mwille Posted November 14, 2003 Report Posted November 14, 2003 the updates out anytime soon, is there really any need for this? we're gonna find out soon enough Well for all us non-Orange SPV-ers these questions are indeed very important in deciding whether to risk using the damn thing or not.. so the answer would be YES 8)
Guest markhammill Posted November 15, 2003 Report Posted November 15, 2003 :!: 9. Will it work on my MPX200? :!: 10. My MPX200 ROM has voice dial, does this?
Guest mwille Posted November 15, 2003 Report Posted November 15, 2003 :!: 9. Will it work on my MPX200? :!: 10. My MPX200 ROM has voice dial, does this? To my knowledge these ROM's are (like with pocketpc's) hardware-specific, so they will only work on SPV's and E100's... But hey, I'm no mvp so I'll add your questions to the list and we'll see what happens :lol:
Guest nixy Posted November 15, 2003 Report Posted November 15, 2003 update available on 19th according to orange phone call this morning 15th Novemebr 8.20am.) ........I hope the update works.....WELL...that'll be enough for me.
Guest mwille Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Surely this isn't all ??? Come on all you non-Orange-SPV-updaters out there, what do you wanna know about this update PRIOR to risking the install ??
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 1 Unsure as I have not tested this but edge my bets on NO 2, NOish unless you use the method used in news, for those who did not listen and used the leaked NL update. 3, NO 4, YES 5, No 6, NO not that I have found 7, NO 8, Appears to YES 9, NO 10, NO 11, it can help you make tea of coffee by texting the other half and asking her to make it :lol:
Guest mwille Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Thanx Awarner :lol: Does still leave kind of a questionmark on my most important issue, being question number one. Maybe we'll find someone yet who is willing to test that.. :roll: Oh, and I tried your "question 11" by ordering a cup of coffee by sms from the study. The misses was not amused ;):D
Guest coolfire Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 :!: 2. Can I, after going to 1.61 still go back to Qtek 1.50.9.1 or I-mate or any other ROM for that matter ? :!: 4. Will the uncertification method with the Orange Developer site still work? This very important, If it is not possible to go back to a other rom is qtec the only good working rom for me
Guest mwille Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 Coolfire, Check out Awarners answers two posts back. One can go back to for example Qtek by using a trick described by user Dumdidum in the "Update on the 1.6 build" thread located HERE. I think it's on page 18 or beyond :lol:
