Hi, a couple of very simple questions everyone here might know...
1. Where can I download the latest firmware from?
2. If the phone comes factory set to Chinese language, can I zap it with Australian firmware and make it behave like an Australian phone?
Thanks for all your ideas. |

Before the new FM. when you revieve an SMS or MMS from contact that is not listed in the phones contacts, the mobile phone shows you only the number of the sender. now this is normal. but if later on if u add that contact to your phonebook, that addition will be reflected on the saved SMS. & you will see the sender name instead of the number.
before, all SE smartphone just keep the number on the SMS sender even after adding the contacts details later. although that this is not an issue in all other SE non smartphones.
Is this also true for receiving a call from an unknown number, then saving it?
And PLEASE for the people asking:
1. Is there a new BB client?
2. Where can I download the new firmware?/Why won't it update?
3. Camera Green Tint issues
4. The infamous, "what's new in this fw?" "what's new in this fw?" "what's new in this fw?"
5. How do I find/change my CDA?
SEARCH. THE. FORUM. And if your question is relating to #1 or #4, Read the 18 pages of posts. There's a 95% chance your question was answered in there. You know why? Because the thread is 18 pages long because people keep repeating the same questions. This should be a sticky. I came to this thread for one answer and I saw about 10 members posting redirects to different threads because other members are afraid/lazy to search. You may be "new' to this forum, but chances are, you're not new to the concept of forums.
There should literally be a rule or etiquette now [since we know no one will actually follow the above], that the person who posts the first topic of a NEW FIRMWARE, in that first post, a link should be provided to the threads discussing #1-5.

I'm gettng much better wifi performance with this firmware.
I'm not sure if thats because I flashed to world 1 generic before updating(possible difference in acceptable wifi channel settings maybe?) or maybe its improvements to the firmware, but I can finally connect to my home router which was previously impossible and my GPRS settings also finally work properly.
Still a few problems here and there but overall much much much better |

I think that with each update SE are improving the wlan. Wlan is such a complex beast, there are so many ways for it not to work, myself I would like to see proper support for power save polling, improved error handling, and more options. We should be able to set a fragmentation threshold, transmit power and connection speed, we should also have some connection testing tools, ping, traceroute, lookup etc etc etc
But yes, i noticed an improvement with the wlan range and performance with this firmware too. |

So did I.
But I think when they were focused on WLAN they have neglected Bluetooth.
I encounter transmitting problems with bluetooth. Especially with A2DP.
I think they should consider giving more priority to A2DP transmittion. WLAN is definitely improved but this time I think it comsumes more CPU resources than it should.

yeah those would be awesome, but I think it'd probably have to be done by a 3rd party since its not worth it for most users.
Right now the only way I can check where the network issues are for my p1i is to first try and access my router, then my ADSL modem and finally try websites to see which ones work(in case one of them isn't responding or is acting up).
What I would want first is a removal of those vague error codes that happen when an app crashes and a way to turn on wifi faster. |

Has anyone checked for improvement when using WLAN to connect to WPA protected networks? I Remember there were issues, I know I cannot connected to WPA networks. |

@sds, thats strange as im not experiencing any of those problems, and tomtom's working fine for me, perhaps try doing the firmware update again and see, or do a master reset and try again |

did you restore from a backup?
This happened to me last time I did that. This time I did a clean upgrade and only restored media, contacts, calender, notes and messages. |

Do you have winrar? download winrar and use that to open up the rar file. there should be the XS++ .exe inside.
If your on a mac, then XS++ wont work, but you can still get it out of the rar by using stuffit expander.
If you have the programs to open the rar file and theres still nothing there then you need to check the source of your download. |

Can anyone confirm these problems/regressions
1)When using speed dial, the name of the person I'm calling no longer shows up in the numbers area before calling. The caller picture still shows up but no name.
2)When I'm searching for ringtones from the sounds and alerts dialogues, anything played in the file browser is really low in volume but it plays at perfect volume once im back in the ringtones dialogue |
