Thought I'd make this thread about the bugs for the new firmware so that:
1) SE people can look at one place (if they're looking) to find anything that needs improvement
2) We can determine if it is actually a bug (if everyone gets the same weird thing) or is it a reflash that we need
I've discovered 2 so far, the first one was discovered when someone wrote in the new fw thread that the keyboard didn't work for opera in landscape view, I was under the impression he was referring to the hardware qwerty which I didn't have a problem with, but then I realized maybe he was talking about the virtual keyboard and true enough the virtual keyboard does not appear when you tap the icon in landscape mode for opera
The second one is after I play a video file, the backlight doesn't automatically turn off, something keeps prompting the backlight to keep lighting up, try using the keylock and you'll know what I mean. I can't keep the media player running in the back ground if I want the backlight to turn off, so i'd kill it in task manager, and sometimes after killing it, the backlight still doesn't turn off, then I'd have to open media player(without having to play the video again) and kill it again. This would fix the backlight bug
The million dollar question is: Has anyone else experienced this?

I suggest you throw away the supplied earbuds and buy a W-based earphone (the one that allows you to plugin your favorite pair of headphones) and use your own headphones. For me, I use my Creative Zen's headphones attached to it.
Perfectly loud and bass-ful

Tell me about it. I updated my firmware last night and was very happy with the results. The problem was, I wasn't woken up this morning. Something that has never happened before.
I thought I must have been really tired and slept through but after seeing your post, I tested again just now. Its really low!!!!
Gutted, looks like I'll need to buy another alarm clock but this pisses me off because I use the alarm when I travel - a lot!!! |

The customized alarm volume is insanely low, I agree with everyone, and therefore I deem this particular feature absolutely uselss since the default alarm is not enough to wake me up. This sucks too, too bad I can't depend on my P990 for wake up calls, I usually sleep late and have to wake up early. It can't be good for business and can't be the perfect business tool without an alarm (it's not an alarm to me, just something that makes a bit of a sound). And I hope they provide an option to disable increasing sound because it defeats the purpose of an alarm which is to wake you up, not blend into whatever dream you might be having when the alarm sounds

It seems that the following tip doesn't work anymore with the latest f/w:
"If you want your videocam to make better focused video, first turn photo-camera on and adjust the auto-focus by the first push of camera button. Then just turn on video mode and you will get straight focused picture of the thing you want to make video of"
can somebody try it? |

When setting the volume for the alarm, i tested it to see how loud it was, the setting i had it on would wake me up very easy, but when the alarm do go off its a different story.
I only woke up today cause the phone was vibrating on the desk, the alarm sound i could hardly hear. |

i recently updated my p990, believing that it would improve the system, it just turned out to be a nightmare
previous problem of too many and so frequent restarts and with the new firmware it has made my phone useless
now
it does restart once the operator logo appears
if i get lucky to enter the "more" options, horizontal lines flock the screen and as soon as i browse through...
little few minutes it hangs
huhuhu.... don't know what to do anymore

leother - perform a master reset (or preferably format the internal disk using the service menu) and reflash it using SEUS. The symptoms you describe are common with a bad flash, and shouldn't be present in any phone running current (or even vaguely recent) firmware.
Make sure you've installed the latest version of the PC Suite also.
If symptoms persist after the reflash, you may need to clear out SEUS's database files before trying again; it's probably trying to reapply the same corrupted version of the firmware without downloading a new copy.

@leother
Are you using the most current SEUS and PC suite versions? Because aside from your case, I haven't heard of a flash-gone-bad incident happening, so I'm guessing you don't have the latest versions. If you do and it still happens, try switching to another computer for the update.
That aside, new bug found in sounds & alert - the 'tone' and 'click' options for keypad flip don't work |
