I have the MMR-60 transmitter and i was hoping that this firmware release would give some support to that thing. I guess it still doesnt work..

Keep my fingers crossed for the next firmware update. I kinda confused on why the W958i, the chinese version supports that MMR-60 and not the original W950i.....

@MasterMoo

Please take a look at this topic I created waaay back in mid November of 2006:

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=135610

As you can see in the second post, I was indeed able to get WMV files to play on my W950, but the quality sucked and so did the resolution.

I haven't tried repeating this with the last two firmware versions, but suffice it to say that the W950 has indeed always been able to play WMV files (as I believe the specs for the phone state). It's too bad that it doesn't work well/properly.

Yes... Take a look at the "Technical data" section of the W950i's user guide and you'll see that it clearly states that the phone supports the WMV and WMA formats:

I hope this helps some.

@OfficeMaven,

Thanks for the info.

Reading your previous post seems to indicate the same problem I am having when trying to open a wmv file, you got around this by doing some conversion i.e. changing the resolution to 208x160 to get it to open in the video player.
You've said it yourself - "not sure why they claim that WMV is supported when it really isn't???" and I agree with that statement.

It also states in the technical data that Real Media files (.ram, .rm) are supported - what a load of cr*p, W950i can't play any real media files, period !!!

Sorry to sound negative, but this is the reality, I was really excited when ares stated that they are supported (wma, wmv) in P990i.

PS - wma sounds great, much louder than mp3 !!

Hi Guys,

I have an Orange branded W950i - I have been trying to update the thing for months now, every time I try it tells me I have the 'latest firmware'.

I just checked the wiki page detailing the historic CDA releases, it seems that the one my phone currently has installed is the oldest!!! Details are as follows:

PDA: CXC 162088 R1B01
Phone: CXC 162037 R9C001

CDA: 162017/2 R1A21

Any ideas why it won't let me update to the newest version?? I find the phone a complete pain in the ass to use, keeps crashing etc. very much regret not getting a nokia. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

are you sure your cda is /2 ? isn't it /12 or /22 or something? you said it's orange branded so it shouldn't be /2

@rahulus

Do a search for Kulan Kendi, change your CDA to generic world 1 and reflash using SEUS and hey presto!!
