First of all, I'm not trying to sound like a "now-it-all". But I would like to offer my services to people out there who has common or technical questions about GSM cell phones or the GSM net. I'm fron Sweden and I've been working some time for Ericsson troubleshooting base station components, like boosters, PA's and the sorts. Currently I'm working in a small workshop in Norway that repair all sorts of mobile phones. Feel free to post questions about sw upgrades, common faults of almost any phone, and I'll try to snoop up som info for you. I sure sound like a commercial, but I'd like to help. I see that there are a lot of "newbie" or "RTFM" questions here but I hope that someone can put up a challenging question. Hopefully I' don't need to answer questions about; "Why isn't my Nokia working?"...we all know the answer to that one

Why you cant make a t68i software java and www available ?

I'd like to know that to;-)

Where are the releasenotes for the latest software-versions?
I guess that's a good one
Posted by fregor
The main thing they do in the new revisions of software are smaller updates of network depending stuff. So the release notes of the softwares are a major bore to read. Trust me. You won't get like, more pixels of your display or faster handling of the memory of the phone. :=) So don't expect interesting reading. And...it's also confidential. sometimes.

I guess you probably could make the T68 Java enabled, but this is a strategic move that the manufacturer of the phone made. I understand that you only have to write a Java enginge in the core software of the phone. Hence the upgrade fron Siemens SL45 -> SL45i..... that's only a software upgrade. No hardware changes there.

So is it possible then(t68i)
Posted by fregor
Theoreticaly....Yes
Posted by Dj Boyi
Would this be expensive tho? Thanx in advance;-)
Posted by fregor
Practically this isn't possible. I trust you aren't a high level sw dev at SE?? You have to completely rewrite the whole sw core and then some... I said it was technically and theoretically possible, but I wouldn't bother to think about the possibility to do it. Buy a P800 when it comes...

Well afaik the R5A software introduced limited support for WCSS, so some things are indeed usefull to read of... I'd like to know he they extended the support for WCSS in R5C...
Posted by fregor

Posted by doubleduh
Thanx

fregor, I have one question for you - I really hope you can help me, because my operator nor Ericsson service didn't.
I have T65 (R5A010 firmware) and GPRS enabled. It works well for wap. I have also limited access to internet - special APN with access to 2 web pages of my operator - it's just for testing, but I think I will be able to browse also other pages. But I have problem that I'm not able to connect.
I have Windows XP, modem driver for T65. I have made the RS232 cable itself, but it works for SMS download, phonebook and other staff. I set-up dialup connection using this modem, dialing *99***1# (APN for internet is stored as CID=1 data profile). Windows sends ATD... command to phone and phone displays "Connecting..." on its display. One second later, it returns "CONNECT" to PC without any other parameters. Windows thinks it's connected and tries to send PPP packets. After some time it ends up with timeout and hangs-up. The problem is that phone even doesn't try to communicate with network - I have put it near radio and it was just silence. I tought it can problem with my cable, so I tried to connect using CSD wap - and I was succesful, Windows connected 9.6kbps and also got an IP address over PPP. So the cable is OK in my opinion.
I also tried a lot AT commands directly in HyperTerminal - using AT commands reference for T68. I was able to connect using that APN (AT+ACT or +ATT, don't remember now) and the phone also got IP address. But the problem is that the phone was connected (and had IP address), not the PC.
Can you please help me with this? I would really appreciate it...
Thanks...

Hi Fregor, I have question for you. These few days I have problem making phone call with my T68i phone. I cannot make outgoing calls and people told me that they have a hard time reaching me. They called me and it directed them to my voicemail. I did not get any missed calls. At first I thought there was something wrong with the network but No. Usually bad network, in my phone it will display " No Network" and now, my phone says : " No Access" Do you know what's the problem here?
I hope you can helpe me with this one.

@johnj2803
not all bluetooth devices are capable of receiving objects from the phone using OBEX protocol. Usually it's just FTP (which is commonly used for PC to PC transfers.) Check out the differetn bluetooth adapter threads (ie the MSI 6967 where the users have managed to "upgrade" their firmware using software coming from Tecom (a different brand). I had the same issue before, but after the upgrade, and configuring my setup, i can now receive any object coming from the phone. hth.
@henleo
I also experience that at times when there's an active GPRS data connection (though i've set the phone to accept calls during GPRS sessions.) - sorry for the very late reply.

Why isn't it possible to change the operato logos like a Nokia on a Ericsson/Sony Ericsson phone? Nokia allows us to download the Operator logos to replace the normal text name of the operator. Why is this not possible in a SE phone?

How can you send Javagame from Phone to Phone cause there is no send options when you try to find one?
