Just waiting on my code before SE get chance to shut it down.

How long does it take to just change the CDA? Not like a full firmware update I suppose.

How long did it take to get the code from them.

Do you run the programme first or install the drivers first? What order do you do things?

Hi guys,

Could you please tell me if you see a real difference after upgrade when using your phone compared with the old FW ?

Also, did you loose all your data and applications after the upgrade ? have you had to re-install everything and synchronise again with the PC to get your contacts and agenda back or there was no need of that ?

I've a not branded phone with R7 phone FW but SEUS says there's no update available, while yes.

Another thing which annoys me is that even if all programs are closed, my P990 only shows 13MB Ram maximum.
When I bought the phone (with an older FW) I always had more than 18MB free RAM when switching the phone on.

Thanks,

@psikey, to change the CDA only takes a few minutes. And regarding the login details, I'm not sure as I did it with a 3rd party company as I don't have a credit card Also I ran the program first then plugged in the USB cable and then installed drivers.

@mayacesar, in brief: I've noticed a lot of difference in the firmwares since doing the CDA change and changing to generic world. Thats just from using it for the last half hour or so! But read up this and this topic!
