BBC 3.37 will not connect on the new firmware.
To quote, if you read back a few posts:
"bondizi:
Is BB Connect 3.37 working for anyone on R9A ?
Or do we need 3.45?"
"floatlite:
I have tried all the tricks I know to get BBC 3.37 working on the new FW, but it defo does not work.
Problems I have found are
1. Autostart does not work (due the lack of a new signed cert for UIQ3)
2. Manual start leads to the service trying to connect, and then dropping the connection.
3. A clean installation of the BBC onto the phone makes no difference, same issues.
I have contacted SE on the UK and am awaiting a call back from them to see if a newer version of the BBC is available from them yet.
regards
David" |

@Gridlock,Well after 3 hours and 34% download,the download was over and after about 25min,the update finished.
Thanks Doc!!Heres my mini Review.
The phone is definitely faster...the speed i wanted.
Can see a "online" icon in Tools.
Phone asking for type of USB use i want.
3rd party Icons which were comparitivly small in size like that of 'Gmail' have been stretched to the size of other icons(in list format..slight increase in size in grid format).
Black colour for links for when u scroll over thm in opera(previously it was pink??)
Bookmarks tab is replaced by close tab.
Faster browing with Opera(using gprs)
Iam able to run a max of 7 applications...but 8th makes the first to 3-4 close.Tried hard to make the phone autoshut...can't  Huge Improvment.
Sound volume has increased when using earphones.
Videos are loaded faster.
Now am very happy with my Phone
PS: Is the Alarm Bug solved??dont wan't to try it out soon.

Well,the phone is still buggy......
1.The screen backlight is still on when the phone is closed and charging...
2.In my language (Greek) with T9 on only 72 chars/sms
3.I have already my first restart for 'improving the speed of the phone' reason.......
4.What is the purpose of the 2nd language virtual keyboard??It doesn't work....(take a look at the photo...)
(this keyboard is supposed to be the 'English' language keyboard....
5.Battery lasts less time now....
(sorry for my bad English)

I don't believe the alarm bug is fixed. I had managed to set 2 phantom alarms, and one was certainly there after upgrade and restore. Hoping vaguely that the alarms might cancel themselves properly if I let them go off... |

Regarding the new 'close all tabs' button in Opera some people have been talking about: For me (Generic World 1 fw) its feature is not 'close all tabs' but 'close current tab' (I tried with three tabs open). Has anyone actually gotten it to close all tabs?
|

same here, I got Generic World 2 and the button just closes the current tab.

Same here. I have /1. I don't quite know why it is there. Anyone with other experiences?

It closes all the tabs for me. (Except the last one obviously).

that seems like a prefectly reasonable thing to happen as you are forwarding a message. Just as happens with an email. Nothing to correct IMHO.

I concur... It's only one drag of the stylus and a delete to get rid of it. |

@Osmano
It's actually quite handy if you have a lot of tabs open, and IMO selective closing(one at a time) would be better so you can choose which ones to close. I miss the bookmark button, but it's okay, quite easy to just click the down arrow and choose it from there.

@Johnex:
Sure? It doesn't just close the current tab and returns to the first one like it does for me? (A bit confusing...) A 'close all tabs' button sounds a bit useless to me since it would be used less than the menu item for 'close current' (which is harder to reach)...

Sealover:
1 - Why people want to charge the P990 turned off, if they can put it on flight mode (hence obtain the same effect of turning phone off) and charge it, and there will be no light, Why all the moaning about this???
2 - the special caracters limit happens in every SE phone
3 - iīve been testing the phone for more than 24 hours with new firmware one, and without swiss manager...i didnīt have a single restart, and from what i read thatīs what been happening to most people
4 - i donīt use virtual keyboard, but you seem to be right. Second language works good for t9 though - i have portuguese has 1st and english has 2nd and it works flawlessly
5 - didnīt notice any differences on battery, but have to test further

Has anyone found any key mappings or shortcuts for the camera to:
- zoom in /out
- switch on light
- increase lighting/brightness
Going thru preferences to change these everytime is irritating.
btw, I am bit confused with the camera light option. It's not same as flash that you see in digital cameras, right ? Light probably helps when taking some closeup pictures, but I find it useless if the object is at distance. Flash would have been nicer.
