I've heard something about R1gc002, new firrmware for w995, do you guys know anything?
Posted by Lightspeed_x
What about the camera version?, still 1.7?
Posted by Lollylost100
R1GC002 is for W995a (America), heard nothing more about it though.

Is there any way to check for a firmware update using the Update Service without having to plug in the phone? Its rather tiresome to turn off, remove and replace battery, hold 'c' and then plug-in only to find out later that no firmware has been released for your region.
Posted by nfts-pstrfs
You can by using your phone update service.Go to Settings/Update service/search for update.
(That for some reason always says I have the latest softwate but i actually don't.)
Posted by jmcomms
The over the air version of the new firmware always seems to lag way behind what you can do via the PC (but losing all your data in the process). The handset method retains your data.
I got the new (generic/SIM-free) firmware for my W995, but I still don't have a web feeds option in the media menu! When is SE going to notice this omission?

They NEED to release a firmware update with a new cam driver... I was at a party yesterday night and a friend of mine compared my w955 with his c902 and he just said that his camera is better and his was right. FAR BETTER CONTRAST AND SHARPNESS. Don't know whats wrong. I remember when i had the w810 and the colors were so good. The pictures from my w995 seem to be taken from dirty lenses.
btw new firmware for w995a: R1GB003
Posted by doclloyd
I see there are a number of new firmware updates since R1FA035, but SEUS doesn't see any updates for my w995a. I have updated the phone with custom acoustics files, a different camdriver and a customize_upgrade.xml file to be able to watch Youtube on the phone over AT&T's network. Are other w995a users able to get newer firmwares? Do I need to flash the phone back to all SE firmware files for SEUS to see the updates? Please advise. Thanks!

i got the w995i a few days back and immediately update the fw via seus to R1GA026 APAC-ANZ...
btw does anyone here manage to charge the battery to 100% capacity, mine the most is 98%

Hey I just got my C905 replaced with a w995 and the album art that i could see when my memory card was in the C905 isn't visible on the W995. You can only see album art when music is playing. It's got software version RIGA026,Will doing an update get the art work back in the list of albums? Has anyone solved this already?
Posted by mallaccra
it happened to my w995 too after updating to R1GA026, btw mode has mentioned about this "missing album art" here
Posted by piflechien
This is a bug of the R1G firmware, just use R1FA035 if you want album art

Did you go back to the older firmware? (R1FA035)
If so do you recommend wotanserver or A2uploader (or any other method) to go back?
Does anyone know if this might get fixed in a future update? Does seem stupid that the c905 i had supported album art and then they ditch it on a walkman model!!
Posted by mange69
In my latest firmwares my phone tends to loose contact with my contact pictures. I can see them under Media and in the File manager, but not in the contacts. When opening a contact the filename is there, but not the picture. If I take out and put in the memorycard it is solved and if I restart my phone they come back. One of my friends has a W715 with the same problem. My FW is GA026.
Posted by findgold
I have R1GA026 and I had the same problem with album art after the update. Meaning no album art. Then I imported some new music albums (via Media Go) into the phone and album arts are displayed again even in the search through albums (on left side) and of course when song is played on main view. Album arts were automatically imported via Media Go or some of them I did manualy.
New album arts are stored under File Manager ALBUMS. The "old" music albums imported before update on R1GA026 are still without album art.
Posted by loftio
Cheers, I'll try putting some albums on using Media Go then tonight and see what happens. Fingers crossed!
Posted by mallaccra
@loftio...i did not go back to R1FA035 still with R1GA026
about the "missing album art" issue what i did was make a new music transfer to the phone via Media Go and voilla the album art appear again
Posted by loftio
Hey guys, thanks for that. Tried Media go and yeah that works -album art work back (kindo of).... Only weird thing that happens is that the phone initally connects in phone mode but then, seemingly at random, and with no onscreen message either on pc or phone the phone turns to mass storage mode. Doing that obviously screws up the music transfer and seems to wipe the art work aswell. Any ideas? is ths discussed in another topic?
Thanks for help with artwork though much appreciated.
Posted by mallaccra
it happened to me too but obviously in my case is not the FW issue but the usb cable. previously i was using a "clone dcu-65 usb cable" then i changed to original dcu-65 since then the phone always connected in phone mode and never get disconnected...
Posted by Jaax
I've tried using Media Go to transfer some mp3 files to my W995. (Thanx for the tip, Findgold
)
Now the album art appears in the album list but no longer in the player...

That's because your lense ARE dirty. You should wipe your lense everytime you switch on the camera just like your friend opens his lense cover everytime he wants to use his C902. I've made side by side comparison between W995 and C902 and W995 has better colours and detail. For evening shots C902 really loses the details due to the watercolour effect, but has slightly better colours if you don't choose the correct white balance for your W995
Btw, FW R1HA035 is out today. Anyone updated or gonna update soon? Let us know what improvements you find, camera vesrion etc. I'm tired of nasty surprises like missing Album Art (I know, Media Go but when will I have the time to re-transfer all of my 13+GB of music? Plus one of my transfers with Media Go failed which never happened with the old Media Manager so I'm not gonna find out which albums won't play in my W995 after transferring in that volume) so I'll let others try it first

Wouldn't mind some nwe firmware for C905!
Posted by Hansomfiser
I just got a Swedish W995
I tried to update it to the latest firmware through Update service, but at the end of the firmware update it just said that it wasn't successful, that I should "try again" and/or fill up my battery.
When I started the phone after the failed update, it's says that I got R1GA026 (2009-09-06).
I tried to update the phone again, but it says that now I have the latest version. Does this mean that R1GA026 is the current firmware for Swedish phones and that my "unsuccessful" update was actually successful?
Thank you

mine is R1GA026 APAC-ANZ and that is the latest generic fw for w995, not very sure for branded phone....
i've experienced the "unsuccessful" issue on my W705 while updating the phone from R1FA035 to RIGA030. well, the scenario is the same as yours but not to worry, the phone is perfectly updated to the latest fw

New firmware is coming very soon for all DB3210 devices, W995 included: R1HA

Posted by mallaccra
while in seus did you find the "update anyway" or "install anyway" button ( i couldn't recall the exact words because i'm not updating now) if yes, just click the button and it will update to the latest version available for your region...

Album art in media player is finally fixed

thnx piflechien
other improvements? the camera? is there anything new in general? Is the facebook application built-in now? Mine didn't have it with the R1GA026 and i had to install it manually.
P.S. It's the exams period and i don't have the time to backup and update.
Posted by mange69
So far album art is the only thing I have found. No FB-application in my non branded Nordic W995.
My WiFi has stopped working about 2 weeks ago and the problem was not solved with the battery trick and not the update to R1HA either.
Posted by piflechien
Well the Facebook app depends on wich Filesystem you install I guess.
I tried the ADRIATIC , WESTERN EUROPE and FRANCE and it's not available on these ones

No facebook app, had to manually install it again. Other than the "playnow" logo being almost everywhere i found my wifi reception to be far better.

My Firmware now!!!
Posted by dualist
Text messaging has been improved - it was distinctly buggy on every W995 firmware so far, e.g. the Options menu was slow and would often highlight "Spell word" rather than "Add symbol" on opening. This seems to have been fixed, plus texting is generally faster.
STILL NO RSS FEEDS THOUGH! I mean, COME ON SE - this can't be hard!
Posted by piflechien
what do you mean no rss feeds ? they are under the media menus
Posted by Jaax
In some versions they've been replaced with "Television".
They're quite easy to put back with A2 uploader.

Like Jaax said; a simple registry key with A2uploader will put this option back

the previous fw has an album art issue where you need to upload the music file via media go in order to make it appear but not necessary in this new update R1HA036

APAC-ANZ here and I have RSS feeds, but still no Facebook app. The Facebook app I used to install manually won't do so properly anymore. They always manage to screw something up for me
