I have noticed recently that every so often the ringtone becomes really quiet. I have checked the volume and its not been changed. This effects the ringtone and the SMS tone. To resolve it I have to switch the phone off and then back on again. Was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and mentioned it to Vodafone/SE.
Sorry if this has already been covered but I couldn't find it
Thanks

Ok, so its not just me - I think I'll take it to a Vodafone store and check with them then. If its a common problem maybe they will replace it or upgrade the firmware or something. I'll post an update when I've done this.

setting ringtone with mp3 will solve the problem... coz playing midi on a 72voices speakers wont do it.. unless they uses polyphonics speakers like the ones found in Z600... tat its really loud!! so mp3 will do a gd ringtone.. but we'e stuck with polyphonic sms alert... and a bug in V800... everytime playing any sound (midi/mp3/wav/etc) th volume will always be set to low... kinda annoying...

voda will replace it if its within 14 days... outside of that its a repair job and voda dont do FW upgrades on ANY of their phones...
hope this helps a bit.

if that's so then why was a new fw developed in the first place?

Lower the volume. Select set, go out to desktop and come back in, then increase the volume.

they av them on the new handsets but wont upgrade the software on older handsets (even though the v800's arent old).... dont know exact reasoning behind it.... they will do software upgrades but i dont think this is the same as all the users data is kept on the fone.... i'm gettin confused now...
I asked someone in work an they said no to FW updates but yes to SW updates???? I aint got a clue.... that'll b the radiation killin ma brain cells again... an i only got a few left!
am off bye. if someone wants to tell me the difference it will be much appreciated...

Rest assured. FW and SW mean the same thing! :-D

Actually firmware refers to the code that is programmed into phones processor to carry out the basic functions/features of the phone.
Software on its own are applications that run on (using) the firmware.
A simple likeness is Windows XP and MS Office: where WinXP is the firmware and MS Office is the software.
No more confusion (I hope)!

To be completely pedantic, hardware is the iron... i.e. the physical bits that go to make up your computer/phone/pda. Software is code that you can load onto the device to do stuff. Firmware is stuff that's stuck in the middle... software that's inside hardware. Anything on ROM or EPROM would be firmware, even if it's an app.

you win!
so......... in the case of a phone, the upgrade is to the 'software' right (the phone OS??) so in theory upgrades should be possible accordign to what voda-jon said??
Right?

Mean like those embedded chips? Where code to make the hardware run is carried by itself. And firmware is that code? (Which can be changed?)
