can anyone confirm if they have managed to get Sky By Mobile working after their upgrade? Mine times out when accessing the TV guide over wifi and gprs/3g. It used to be fine before I upgraded.

Very slow on first boot. Selected language and got hour glass whereupon nothing else happened. Battery out, reboot, back to langauge screen this time only the selected language displayed (uk english) this time left hourglass for a good few minutes, and eventually it went to phone on screen. Probably me just being impatient. I am guessing it must load every langauge on, being WW Generic, then delete the ones not needed after?

This is happening to me as we speak. I was just about to take the battery out when I read your post! 
First impressions:
- Bootup is definitely faster
- When entering your PIN, each digit is revealed on the screen as you press it, and only changes to an asterisk when you press the next one! This only used to happen when entering the first digit of the PIN - it now seems even less secure
- Moving around the menus is smoother and feels like less effort, although loading applications doesn't seem to be that much quicker.

the slow first boot has always been there. I remember when I first got the P990 and turned it on and went through this startup. I was walking up the road away from the shop I bought it from and I was already heading back to the shop assuming there was some problem. Just as I got to the shop it came to life and all was well.
The M600 suffers the same long first start after firmware flash too

I vaguely remember the slow boot after update last time to R7. But there's always a moment of paranoia where I think I've messed up, or the update has gone wrong. I've updated nokias, dell axim and a mio and they've all updated in less than the stated time - the windows devices in under 10 minutes!
Dunno why the P990 took so long this time. The download appeared to end at 28% and the update took forever from 25% to 48% then it ended. Perhaps it's just down to the GUI or the computer OS, but 20 minutes last time, and just over an hour this time give or take was a bit annoying, but I'm glad I've had another first time success.
Anyway it does seem more sleek. Will test out wlan and opera later and give it a more heavy load.
Also I'm just about to change the system font back to my vjnina and hope that still works ok. |

@ grizlore
Rather than bumping your question about the O2 firmware, why not try reading the thread? Your question has been answered.

Am i the only one with a restore problem here after the update?
i have a Generic P990
Update went ahead fine.
BUT, when trying to restore stuff, 3rd party applications mostly fail and it is mentioned in the report.
but doesnt matter what i do, it will NOT restore messaging! the whole backup fails if i tick "unified inbox"
i have 7 POP3 email accounts on my P990, (dont ask why)
and now it seems i have to manually recreate all of them???
anyone here has same problem/solution???
PLEASE!

Can i ask...after the update, with flip closed, do the icon still animate when you scroll through the application e.g. on messages its a normal evevlope, when you place the cusor over it the evelope opens with a letter inside? I thought mine was a fault so i master reseted it and reloaded the firmware again, but the same thing is happening...regards |
