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!! |

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.

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. |

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. |

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...

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... |

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
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

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
