> P800 R2A Upgrade
Bookmark topic
Ok this is going to be my first complaint about the P800. The fact that I have to take it to a SE store to get the software upgrade SUCKS! As I live overseas (on an Island) we don't have an authorised SE store here.....does this mean I have to fly back to NYC to get the upgrade??? Isn't this a perfect use for the internet??? There HAS to be another option!

Any news on T9?, alarm in Off?, profiles?, copy at once from mobile to sim? etc.

@Jan, I totally agree with you, buth the thing that only Finnish and Swedish phone gave errors during flashing (also with the PDA R1F and R1G flash) is a fact, not an opninion! At least, with our servicepoint.
But indeed, i have no info (yet) about the problems customers had with their p800 after the 2A upgrade during the eventual usage with backup, restore etc etc.
Good luck with the upgrade. Try to master reset before you upgrade and try another battery! That helped us once when we had a brand new fully charged T68i which kept producing errors during the flash. After we flashed it with another battery it went fine. And the phone worked normally with the "faulty" battery.

I did notice that sync'ing with Outlook 2000 doesn't recursively go into folders. My contacts folder in Outlook has subfolders, and I thought the sync would recreate the same folder structure on the P800.
Nope, have to put all in root of contacts and afterwards one by one recategorize on the phone, rather annoying! Is this normal or am I forgetting something???
Using latest desktop sync version and the new R2.
ps: the new R2 is much better for categorizing, but it has some weird behaviour if you sync a contact which has a company name but no job title and the file as field is different as the full name field. It will show as name in the phonebook the company name and the actual first & last namefields are empty. A BUG!

I have had the same problem. This used to happen with the Palm too. It was fixed in a later upgrade so let's hope that SE/Symbian do the same.It is tiresome or has someone got a better idea?

Mark > Mine is a swedish built phone,...I sure hope it doesnt have anything to do with it.
If this is the case, then it would be a disaster for sure.
I never had any problems with other phones from SE,..and the "language-upgrade" last time with P800 went well, no problems at all,..so it does seem a bit strange.
I'll just have to try again,..and it better work this time !

since i had my phone upgraded to R2D, it has 'hung' on me twice, but in a strange way.
the first time, i was checking my email, and when i was finished, i noticed that the internet icon at the bottom of the screen was still flashing as if it was downloading something. i tried to disconnect from the net but it wouldn't disconnect.
the second time, i just noticed that the phone's green LED was not flashing. what was strange about both instances was that other than the problems i mentioned, the phone seemed to be functioning ok. no white screen of death. BUT, in both cases, when i tried to power off the phone for a restart, the power off confirmation screen would not come on, therefore not allowing me to turn the phone off! so, i just held the power switch depressed for 10 sec or so. after the phone restarted, everything was ok once again.
strange occurences, but fortunately without any serious repercussions. so far...

Mark > BTW my Hardware reads R2A on the box.
Another danish guy got his P800 upgraded the same day as I did, and his phone is "older" than mine, and I believe also swedish, as he got it with swedish and english language, and swedish manual, just as I did.
The first upgrade for the P800 (the "language-upgrade") was no problem at all,..it worked right away.
So I have not been ahving any problems with the phone what so ever, exept for this upgrade.
And I havent even "overloaded" the phone with programs/software,.there hasnt been any problems with the phone at all,..batterytimes are great and so on.
regards
