I updated my fw to 1209 and it didn't have the Chat View for sms on it either. It only appeared when I changed my CDA to 1214-7311 and updated with SEUS.
I must say the battery life has improved a lot, GPS connected in under 10 seconds (it was clear and sunny though) and the phone is much quicker.

Great
I'm gonna try it right away. I must say, when I tried to record a tour with my bike today, the GPS connected soooooo slow, it was even worse than the branded firmware :') So I hope the other CDA will get me some better results.
Strange actually, that the same firmware with different CDA can give such different results :/ SE should just allow one (their own) version of their firmware on their phones.

I know, it hardly makes sense. Its seems any Euro CDA beginning 120* doesn't have ChatView for sms, it took me two updates to find that out.
Anyway, let us know how you get on.

Well, I updated the phone, and sms conversation is now visible
Haven't tried the GPS though, but will do that tomorrow
Guess this is a UK version of a totally unbranded phone, because all the UK's network internet settings where visible plus an application 'NearMe' where you can find POI's near you. Sad thing I can't use them because I'm in the Netherlands
Thx for your help both, if I run in trouble again I'll notify you by posting here

I beg to differ.
I have CDA 1205-9079 R1DA032 and have SMS Chat View, Wayfinder 8.
So not sure what the problem with others have been.

If I check the software version on my phone now it claims to have the same CDA number as you, but while installing firmware you'll need to use the other number. Guess he changed it during the installation.

I did use Wotanserver to debrand so not sure if this makes any difference.
I just selected Language - English and chose CDA - Generic Western Europe Firmware.

To get Chat view you have to enable it because on some region FS it's disabled.
Read here to do it:

My alarm went off this morning and instead of saying "snooze" it said "shooze".

Hi, ive had the same problem in that sms conversations did not appear after update. From reading this thread i understand i need to change the cda to debrand my phone.
