> Lack of features in firmware-updates from web
Bookmark topic
I asked this question in another post, but due to another subject (I hope) it didn't get any response. So I'll try a new post. I reeeeally would like to know this....
I spoke to my phone delivery guy the other day, and he told me that SW-upgrades should preferably be done in a qualified workshop rather than from the internet, because the firmware on the internet does not contain all features you get from the original SW. (Or the one you get in the workshop.)
I walked down to the workshop and asked there, and he confirmed that this was the case, but wouldn't tell me what the difference was.
Does anyone here know _what_ features are missing? Or anything about the difference?

If you go to a service centre you will probably get a slightly more upto date version of the firmware but the same update online has all the same functions. If you update online you dont lose functions and if you update at a service centre you dont get extra functions.

Do you _know_ this, or are you assuming it? I mean, both my vendor and the service guy told me the same thing, independent of eachother.
And why would a service-man who in the first place doesn't make a dime on my upgrade, not advice me to update from web, when I would save him some work if I did?
And you don't get *extra* functions from the service-centre, but you loose some kind of "stuff" with the web-updates. From what they told me, that is...

They are the same and the updates online are usually more recent than at Service Centers.

The reason they said that was because they don't want you using 3rd party applications to update your phone.

Firmwares are the same.
Like suggested they told you differently propably because they dont want to lose business.

the only difference to the online updates vs service center updates is that for branded phones operators have to approve their software to be available on the update service. So sometimes you'll get a later version by going to a service center.
There is no difference at all though in the actual firmware.
