Did mine yesterday as well, took around 15 mins in total but first had some problems as it kept device not recognised and found it was due to a driver missing. So i uninstalled everything pc suite and drivers and re-installed them, then tried it again and this time it worked perfectly.

Cant say ive noticed any difference in this firmware other than having a few apps open while browsing the net..didnt seem to crash on me like before.
Start up ram im getting about 14mb at boot up which isnt much of a difference to the first firmware. Also noticed the little tone played at end of each phone call.

Seems to be all good here

Nope.. I have mailed the tech-support and made them aware of the problem. We have to wait and hope for a new ver. For icq-user you can use jimm. jimm.org/nightly for the latest ver.

@karlossus

sorry, but did you:

- switch-off any firewalls or anti-virus s/w
- re-delete the blob_fs files and redownload them (keep an eye on the download progress bar to make sure all the files are downloaded)

Are you using as dial-up or broadbacnd connection? The reason I had a problem was that I was testing HSDPA on my PCMCIA card and trying to use the cellular wireless network (t-mobile) to download the firmware files to see what download speeds I could get - but this method was very unreliable.

Hi Jah, I have firewall and AV switched off and I have downloaded the blob files several times now. I am on a broadband connection which is reliable if not the speediest.

Stumped.

- make sure you are not using a usb hub
- make sure your battery is fully charged
- if using a laptop power from the mains
- delete the com port/p990 from the Hardware Devices to force reinstall of drivers

I use different ISPs all the time for my two email accounts; I just make sure for SMTP I select the authentication option



None of the ISPs or mailproviders I have authorize that... I have called both my ISP and the phones support and also checked with a couple of other swedish ISPs. They all have made it impossible to send from any other smpt then their own. Meaning you have to use the smpt to the one you are connected to at the moment.
This sucks!! I have to have one profile for GPRS-mail, one for when I am home, and another one for when I visit my parents.. and so on for each diffrent ISP.
(I can ofcause sen mail via gprs wherever I am with the GPRS-account.. but then it starts to cost a bit if i send with big images or files.)

@joel
Thanks for the input on agile messenger

@karlossus
Please try another set up (modern irernet Cafe) who may let you install the SEUS programme.
I had a lot of problems at home (very frustrating!!) but managed to do it at a place ouside with high broadband speeds.
You will still need to have the settings that jah is pointing out set up correctly.

Finally. got my update working. It took me close to an hour. It was such a stress time updating the fw. Performance is indeed better now. WIFI is fine. But Rss indeed cant be added by clicking on the link. weird.. Also the Agile messenger cant work anymore. Got to wait for Agile to update a new version i supposed. Btw, accessing the browser has been a charmed. Its smooth! as compared to the earlier fw.

This is my current fw details after the upgrade:


Phone: CXC162037 R5A006
Bluetooth: CXC162058 R4F01
Organiser: CXC162036 R3A04
CDA: CDA162007/1 R3A03

Its worth updating.
