Guest Smart-Tech Posted November 29, 2003 Report Posted November 29, 2003 Review on Smart 1.7: Like the news from smart website, it's true, better battery consumption also MSN Fixed, u can using the MSN again, and for the camera is become more faster a little bit, not like the 1.37 the camera lagging if you want to take picture.. i think this is better..
Guest dwlewis Posted December 1, 2003 Report Posted December 1, 2003 Ok, smart-tech, or anyone for that matter, to summerize: the new smart rom 1.7 update works, and does not lock your phone and this works great for non singapore, in the USA users?
Guest awarner [MVP] Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 The SMART update WILL lock your phone to the SMART network, and as the bootloader is not downgradable. So SIM unlocking is not possible unless you install another operators update.
Guest Drug_Store Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Imate and Qtek users can download version 1.50. Original SPV owners with Orange UK are currently stuck with 1.37 (released 8 months ago). Only E100 users have 1.5. So Orange is waaaay behind the other operators. Why u are stuck with 1.35, and don´t upgrade to 1.50 of orange? at least u would feel at the same level, but personally I think Qtek is the best for now. Yeah people, don´t update to Smart if u don´t know what you´re doing or don´t know how to downgrade. I speak for myself, that I got my SPV useless for almost a month, until a kind person, sented me a MMC with bootloader 0.93 and enabled me to fix my SPV. Really hope that Orange / Qtek / Imate release their 1.6 soon... and maybe with a Portuguese language support (that would be great :lol: ), Thanks
Guest Smart-Tech Posted December 4, 2003 Report Posted December 4, 2003 Off course is locking, for more detail ask awarner is it true or not for my posting :lol:
Guest techsupp1001 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Posted December 5, 2003 The new 1.7 software update from SMART is faster but battery is the same as before. I know because my GF's phone was on version 1.5 before and She did not notice any significant improvement in battery life after doing the upgrade. I'm sticking with I-Mate 1.5 because I want to keep my phone unlocked. BTW, the 1.7 Smart update is application unlocked but not sim-unlocked.
Guest mydada Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 guys, i just got my smart amazing phn (Philiipines), bootloader 1.09, v1.7. i cant unlock it. my friend tried to lower its version to 1.5 or 1.3, it wont accept it. after which, the phone didn't boot until he loaded back 1.7. tried loading BL 0.98 but it wont read either from the mmc :lol: i really need to unlock it as i am on post-paid from a different carrier but really like the SAP becuz of its features. any help or tip would be highly appreciated. we have other users too who are in the same situation as i do. tnx! manny Philippines
