if you still willing to upgrade again and you said it has been reflashed to r1l and you dont have playnow anymore and if your cda is upgraedable
seus will not add it.

Mmh thats a thought. My CDA at the moment is CDA102338/38 R6A which I reflashed using DaVinci Client 13.3 (I believe) thanks to fiction.
So you think if I try and update again using SEUS it wont add the PlayNow icon. Does it just update firmware and not mess with the CDA? |

I've come across something rather worrying with the new firmware. 1 video file and 3 pictures have become corrupted and non viewable. These are pics/videos that were taken WITH the new firmware, were working fine and then have just died with normal phone useage.
I have not had this problem at all before the firmware update.
I have also tested another Memory Stick and can generate the same results.
Can anybody else confirm this problem, or is it just me?

Hi Guys,
I tried to update my phone for 2 days to R1N035 as suggested by this forum. It didn't work for one reason or another.
Then today, I managed to flash my phone at work, but I only received R1L002.
I was very annoyed to mess about for 2 days only to receive the same firmware as I already had, so I called SEUS.
They advised me that R1N035 was online only for a short period and they pulled it because it didn't work very well. I was told that a replacement firmware will be online soon.
Has anyone tried updating from SEUS since this post?

seus never messes with the cda lol, we do that!!!
seus flashes main and hardly messes with the fs file which is where playnow menu icon is added or not.
thats what i think!
on the other note:
i think the bitrate/encoding varies based on the lighting condition and activity of the screen |

No, framerate and bitrate is variable, it varies depending on what is recorded and under which conditions it was recorded.
Try making another recording in good lighting with moving objects in it, and compare bitrate and fps to that. Remember to select high quality mode instead of mms mode or bitrate will be limited.

I run jbenchmark 1 and 2 and both indicated display 65536 colors! This is why pictures seems less quality !

You reckon this is true? That SE have withdrawn R1N because it wasnt good? Wondering if it is worth trying updating again or waiting to see if they release a newwer version. |

R1N035
- now bluetooth doesn't start automatically from java applications. I need to turn BT on manually before running any BT java applet like Bloover or BT Explorer.

confirmed that functionality downgrade!
think they did that on purpose and not a bug, to make it more difficult for bt jacking. same way the companies spy on big forums like this one to see what users are complaining about (that part of the reason video is improoved) they also read threads where users are bragging about inovative uses of the phone that could be a potential source for a lawsuit. (privacy issues etc.) and try to curb that.
i could be wrong and it could be a bug!

It's not available to me in the UK, the software TODAY downloaded R1L002.
And today SEUS UK today me they pulled R1N035. Guess he was lying then, but still no reason why my update downloaded R1L002 to my PC today.
Marty
P.S. Just tried just now, and it said my device is up to date! On R1L002

Not everyone can update to R1N: it depends on what CDA and which zone you have!!!! Please read the forum!!! |

wouldnt be surprised if se support didnt even know that new firmware is out at all lol.
Are you sure your phone is not branded or cda that hasnt got new firmware available yet?? if so read back and other threads bout uk availability
lol Dextermike you beat me to it while i was typing
now just general rant. dont get peeps that dont bother to read even some pages in the thread, but just jump to the last post with the subject that has been discussed before many times thinking they are only ones that deserve advice one on one basis. shit i read through all 139 pages and most threads that interest me, call me stupid but if you did that you wouldnt for example still ask how to get into service menu even though its on the first post.
peace!

OK firstly, which one of the 136 pages do you think I should read? or are you suggesting I read all 136?
Secondly, the inital post of the notice of update simply says "The latest Firmware on SEUS is R1L002 or R1N035 dependant on your phone / location".
That hardly helps in identifying which updates suit which CDA / location / colour / etc.
I was posting factual information for anyone else having the same problem as me!! |
