i lost a credit to R4CB020 EU2 in davinci- i think the file has some corrupt protions or sommat, as i got a config error after flashing was completed (everything went through without a glitch)- i used the older red flash, then SEUS after that, and i now have r4cb020
im asking gsmen if i could get a replacement credit for the first attempt. keep ya'll posted
for the mean time, stay away from r4cb020/eu2 in dvt |

changes i've noticed in the new firmware [R4CB020] so far:
- camera software version 4.6
- java sw version 6.3
- improvement in the walkman player! metadata is now displayed for both the now playing screens and artist/album lists for M4A files
- the line bug at the end of lists when using v4.0 themes for W550 seems to be fixed now
- animations now get a weird background; and the overlapping of frames is still there.. (just when you thought it cant get any worse than that..jeez)
- faster menu navigation, but this could just be psychological
anyone else noticed what's changed? |

more changes:
- the status bar when deleting messages (inbox/sent items/etc) now actually moves!
- smaller font in the walkman player for song number and progress timer
- the bug where the phone would ask for confirmation for deletion when managing files via IR or  appears to have been fixed
- new possible bug! intermittently, the music button (left hand side, not the walkman one) would not stop when the phone is locked. I havent performed enough testing as to the conditions involved yet..
- another possible bug! in the file manager (i noticed this for some pics taken with my Canon Powershot I scaled down to size 640w or 1024w), the thumbnails appear as black, empty boxes. This doesnt happen for 1280*960 pics taken with an S700 i transferred to my phone though
on another note, i just noticed a "thumbnail list" viewing option. i dunno if it's always been there or something new with this FW release- |

close out and relaunch the update service application
- take the battery out
- stick it back in
- plug the fastport end of the DCU-60 to the phone (dont plug in the USB end to the PC yet)
- hold the C button down (keep it down!)
- when the update service asks you to 'hold the C button and plug the cable in, plug in the USB end (still holding the C down!)
keep us posted if that does it for you |

OK how about taking it to a friend who's successfully updated his phone and let him do it for you, just to make sure you're not doing anything wrong? If it behaves the same way, you might want to take your phone to where you bought it from |

it may just be the phone. (ego alert. ) but seriously, though, i updated my w800i's firmware a few days ago and it worked fine in just one try. is it even worth updating my w550's firmware, though? the only thing i'm concerned about is camera quality. has it since improved? thanks.

scapevlocity: there appears to be less noise in the pics (there better be, the cam version's bumped up one notch), but again that's subjective, it might just be me. The improvement in R4C that wont make me go back is improved support for tags in M4A files. Go through the list I have up there ^^^ check if there's anything you really want then go davinci. that seems to be the only way to go for you now |
