My backlight bug disappeared after I did a master reset. It went fine until I stored my internet & mms settings. How on earth these two things are connected is beyond me. I might go for a reflash tomorrow. BTW, I'm wondering if this backlight problem has anything to do with my CDA, I have WG2, never had to reflash, never had weird problems before. Even though I can live with the minor bug since I know how to get rid of it per occasion, it's just not cool to know that something went wrong somewhere. Anyone else with WG2 having the same problem?

REFLASHED! Now I'm sure the backlight thing is a bug, the flash went really smooth and it's still there. Everything is as stable and good as before and I'm happy with everything else (except the alarm). And I noticed that I only get it if I press the back button from video player repeatedly to get to the standby screen. But if I press the back button down just once and hold it down to get to standby, it doesn't happen. Just have to change my habit of pressing the back button. Very doable, but weird.

And if you don't have 'edit' in the shortcut in FC, open the shortcut in FO, close the flip and open the shortcut in FC again, and 'edit' would re-appear, for me at least

Hi all, just updated today and am not noticing a great deal of improvement. Still, it is a bit faster and I like the way you can turn transitions on and off etc.

Anyway, I found this bug (well sort of!) just now: When creating an MMS and adding a "fine" picture quality picture to the message, it doesn't automatically resize if for you (like it used to). It just says that the recipient probably won't be able to receive the message because of its size. It then proceeds to add the nice big 400K+ pic to your message!

So, to get the phone to automatically resize your picture, you have to go into your MMS Account settings (in FO mode), click the pull-down menu and go to Advanced Settings then set "Creation mode:" from "Free" to "Restricted"

Hope this helps some others.

Jon.

Hi, yesterday I tried to update my p990i twice from the SE site - both cases failed in the sense that the phone seemed to have gotten a new firmware (i.e. I went "successfully" through the complete update process), however the organizer version is still the old one (i.e. no R5A17) and I also do not see any signs of the new version (i.e. no way to turn the transitions on/off, still frequent crashes . Do you have any idea what is wrong? Would it help to format the phone's memory before the update? Please help ....

barfuss..
check the status (flip closed mode) under ...more...status.
there you can see the version of the software running on your phone.
cda is a part of that software... a very important part...

check this link to see if you have the latest version...

Here's another niggle:

Create a new entry in Calendar in FC mode. As you move down the fields with the joypad, the Location field is skipped. If you hit Edit quick enough you can enter the field.

Or is it just me...? My theme (the SE-supplied 'Porcelain'.... nothing fancy)...?

I think there are a number of bugs related to FC mode on this phone. If my work was this shoddy, I'd have been sacked years ago....

The CDA is R3A01 - so it's quite old, but this is the version that was yesterday installed from the SEUS. How can I get the newest version - any help is _very_ appreciated ....


Just a note: While checking the CDA, my phone crashed again ..... I really need a new firmware (or a new phone ;-( - which would be bad since mine is just two days old .....
