New Firmware Available

[kersey]

Hi all,

Just to let you know there is a new firmware update available via the update service...downloading at the moment

Will report more when it finished...

UPDATE: Hmm, very strange I was already running R1FA016 firmware yet the update service said there was a new one available...just flashed it and guess what...it's still showing as the same build...sorry to get your hopes up guys

Strange! I did the update almost straight after getting the phone on 1st April's. Done a scan, but it doesn't say anything new available! Maybe your phone is over optimistic..... lol

your phone is a joke!

My phone is still running 14, just got it today. Update service says all is up to date(its the newest version - just installed). Any ideas?

 

[kersey]

There is a firmware update due in the next few weeks called R2BA013 which is suppose to improve performance and battery usage among other things.

Was hoping the update was that...maybe next time

 

[davethorp]

No update here, though I do keep checking especially since yesterday when the rumour R2BA013 was coming soon

Just a quick question.

When the new firmware eventually arrives and I update my phone, am I right in assuming that I'm going to have to re-download all the apps and games I've installed?

Also, if that's the case, what about those I've purchased?

The firmware *should* update without loss of applications or settings. Though thats not for definite and even if it should, there is no guarantee it will do

As for the apps on market, if the phone does get reset when you log in again to market, all your previously downloaded apps should be in the downloads section like normal and you can just re-download them to the phone. This includes ones you have bought and paid for (I factory reset my phone when timescape was glitching the other week to see if that fixed it so know you can download paid for apps again)

I was speaking to SE support yesterday about volume issues and the guy said there would be 1 or possibly 2 "minor" updates before the september release of Android 2.1

 

[Busha]

I hope that he was talking about Android 2.2

 

[syztemlord]

Nope, definietly said 2.1

im running 14 and everytime i try to update the phone it says i got the latest update any ideas as to why i cant update. i also tried using the update service on my pc and it says the same thing i have the rogers x10a

 

[aodmisery]

aaahhh ok so unless you phone is debranded you cant update it yet since rogers hasnt relased the update yet. but from what i been reading update 16 has better battery life and fixes the keyboard input and is peppier



update:there is no version 16 for the x10a officially yet.

Hopefully SE could fill us up on when this update will be available for X10a

X10i i mean!

 

[aodmisery]

X10i i mean!

it is available for the x10i but unless your carrier has released the update you cant get it unless you debrand your phone.

 

[j3yps]

it is available for the x10i but unless your carrier has released the update you cant get it unless you debrand your phone.

My phone isn't locked with any TelCo Companies(it's already unlocked when i bought it)...how do you think i'll be able to unlock it?

 

[aodmisery]

unlocked and debranded are two different things. unlocked lets you use it on other carriers besides the one it belongs to. debranded makes it belong to no carrier.

doesn't it void the warranty if i debrand my phone?

 

[aodmisery]

i think it does but im not positive you can also brick the phone if you dont do it right

 

[j3yps]

here's a few question before i debrand my phone...

1. Doesn't it void my phone's warranty?
2. How could i know the region of my phone(HongKong, Nordic or UK)?
3. What region should i debrand my phone to HongKong, Nordic or UK?
4. Is there a difference between the three regions?
