1.6 upgade question

[Guest bit slow]

hi

i want to completely start again (out of box state) with all the applications when i upgrade to the new 1.6 rom update.is it best to do a hard reset first then upgrade or will it be done for me when i upgrade?

thanks in advance. :?

The update wipes your phone during the upgrade. Format your SD card using a card reader or Smart File Explorer, and you'll be left with a totally new phone. Happy reinstalling.

hi thanks for the info.

just acouple of questions more.

what connections would i loose(gprs / wap?) and how do i make a note of these to put back in after the upgrade.

also would it be better to remove my storage card as i do not want ot loose any info on that.

cheers

If You Active Sync Them The Only Thing You'll Have To Do Is Setting Up a New Account With your Active Sync and They Wil be Set Back On Your Spv

The Storage Card Wont BE accest In The Progress so nothing on that will change

And For The Settings Don't Know From what country You are But The English settings will be Aplied But the are Easy To change with your local settings that you can get fro your local Orange Site (grps/wap settings)

Nope, storage card will remain unaffected, however you will lose your shortcuts to any programs. Just use Smart Explorer (or similar) to paste shortcuts back to IPSMWindowsStart Menu.

Orange UK GPRS/WAP settings are re applied and don't need to be changed.

As goudvarken has stated you can sync your contacts back post udgrade. Or you can use Orange Backup to restore. (Remeber to note your user name and password, I've learned by experience!)

SMS will be lost, however you can search the forum for cemail.vol (the file name where the SMS are stored as I remember someone was playing around with trying to back them up.
