i noticed with R5 you could make a SMS and the latest contacts stay in a recently sent contacts menu to save you going through your phone book and ticking a contact?

This works fine on my phone with the latest R6 firmware. Did you restore an old backup after updating?

i have never upgraded my firmware..(thats because i don't have windows xp service pack 2 on my computer to intsall the PC suite software) i have the original firmware shipped with teh unit
org: R2A05
cda: 162007/8 R2A04 - singapore ch/en
should i upgrade my firmware? i do have occasional problems like kern- exec errors and reboots to improve performance and odd freezes. but i seem to manage my task manger well enough to not occur these problems often. i would like to increase speed and stabilty and multi app usage.
when doing a firmware upgrade from the SE website do you have the option to choose which firmware to install (accoring to your cda)?
i would like to upgrade to the R5A16 or R4A13 as i read they are the most stable with least amount og bugs?
any insight or thoughts would be great. thanx |

yes!!! I did it...downgraded from R6 to R5...good thing i have a spare credit from kulankendi...it was risky at first since if i mess things up, i need to buy another credit & it takes forever to get the credit i know...it was my last lucky credit...change it to PHilippines trade generic & when i booted up, it says i have R6 so i updated at SEUS (just once) and after the update, now i have R5...
i know i'm going to miss few features of R6 (clear pic thumbnails & few little things only) but it's important for me to have that email bug removed...hopefully if they will continue releasing updates then i will update my fone again after all the reviews...hehehe...good luck to us |

Of course you can. The CDA to go for should be CDA162008/91 - and the easiest way to achieve this should be to use kulankendi.com or davinciteam.com to change the CDA.
After this just run SEUS...
