Updates: Now delivering to Samsung Focus 1.4 - Focus General

Hello everyone. Busy week—here’s what’s going on:
We’re now sending out Windows Phone 7.5 updates to customers with Samsung Focus 1.4 phones on AT&T. We’re also scheduling the update for Samsung Omnia 7 owners on Telefonica in Spain. Expect us to expedite the scheduling process, now that it’s been fully tested.
We’re also sending out another wave of firmware updates from our manufacturers to select Windows Phone models. As I’ve mentioned before, these updates improve the overall function of your particular make and model of Windows Phone. You’ll see these firmware updates from time to time; they’re easy to recognize because the update information in the Zune software shows your device name. If you get one, I encourage you to install it.
Finally, we’re always paying close attention to your feedback on Windows Phone 7.5—especially when it comes to bug reports. In that spirit, customers of Vodafone, Orange, and Deutsche Telekom in Europe will start seeing notifications for a new Windows Phone service release called 7740 that fixes an issue with new voice mail notifications not appearing for customers on some European and Asian networks under certain conditions. It also fixes an email issue associated with Exchange Server 2003. This service release is being assessed by other mobile operators. You can learn more about it here.

I am currently updating my Focus v1.4 to Mango using Zune....
...and it was successful.

Successfully Updated to Mango after a very long wait

Pocket PC 2003 Phone Edition Software Upgrade release fail

Hello,
I have a T-Mobile Equipment Model PW10B1 Pocket PC Platform, with the ROM Version: 3.14.40 ENG, Radio version: 6.18.
After contact de T-Mobile the first time about a new Upgrade, they have respond to me this:
"You will be able to download the Pocket PC 2003 Upgrade by going to:
http://www.t-mobileapps.com/downloadcenter/Software/RUUv2.07_CEv4.01.16.exe
Thank you for choosing T-Mobile
Sincerely,
T-Mobile USA, Inc.
Customer Care Specialist "
After download the Upgrade, i tried to install the Pocket PC 2003 Update, but without success: When i start the Upgrade from the directory, C:\Program Files\Pocket PC 2003 Upgrade Utility, and after the First restart of the Pocket, i see a message on the Pocket Screen " Upgrading Wireless Capabilities..", but when finally it arrives at 100%, i receive a new message "Retry Again...", and he starts to Upgrading Wireless Capabilities Again. The problem is that he does not stop repeating this operation. After six repetitions I disconect the equipment from the PC (I know that in the installation it said "DO NOT DETACH DEVICE FROM PC...", but this did not seem normal. Then I was with a problem, because the equipment did not function 100%. So, i tried to make a Full Reset on the equipment, thinking that it would come back to factory remain, but without success, because now when he starts he starts a boot T-Mobile and after that the screen is always blank, and after a few minutes he restart alone again and again. Please Help me...
I trieed to contact T-Mobile but without success, the replay i have for them:
"Upon further research of your situation, it appears that we cannot assist you via this channel. Unfortunately our group does not possess troubleshooting documentation to support this type of advanced software issue.

o2 XDA IIi Firmware Update Due May...

Just received an email direct from o2 saying that a update is due in May that will include Blackberry support.
They also confirmed that there is a known problem with the GPRS connections being lost when connecting peripherals to the connector, however they could not confirm if this will be fixed in the May update.
Care to name your source? The O2 guys I've been speaking to are insisting they have no timescale for a new rom release.
JD
I have also been told this by a company called welcom, they came in to fit car kits for all our sales reps for the XDA IIi (Andes). There was a problem with the microphone on the device and the micophone on the car kit both being on and causing a nasty echo. The man in the van told me it was a software issue and that there was a rom update due next month that will fix it.
For obvious reason I cannot give the name of the person but,
I work for a large corporate who deals with o2 for both voice and Blackberry functionallity, I had been told in January that there would be a Blackberry connect client for the XDA IIi. I therefore asked for an upadate regarding the Blackberry client and also if the bugs would be fixed and that is how I've found out about the May release.
I suspect that o2 corporate support have access & know far more than the standard customer support teams, and for this reason feel confident that there will be an update.
Well for OBVIOUS reasons you cant name your source....reason being they obviously arnt as reliable as you think because here we are and NO new ROM and NO Blackberry support.
Give your source my regards
erm, there's an image for it here on our very own FTP server!
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Alpine/Extended Roms/WWE-Roms/WWE 1.11.112/
(but i don't know how to install it! Can anyone help? Or at least point me in the right direction! )

I am also looking for a solution to this problem too...
Stevebristol, I don't know why people try to help when they receive posts like yours.....
But if it helps I've received a further update regarding the update, as you have nicely pointed out, its late...., and I have been told that it could be at least another six weeks, possibly longer.
No details as to what the update may include, but maybe the delay is due to a new OS update instead of a few bug fixes.
It would be nice if o2 included the new OS, Skype & Blackberry support, before I'm slated again, this has not been promised by o2, just my guess
I do think what was said regarding your source is a little harsh...not wishing to cast criticism myself but being involved in a MAJOR IT project for the Government means you're frequently exposed to delays in rollouts and Go-Lives...
I'm guilty of moaning regarding the release of o2 updates etc, but I have always known the reasons behind them based on my own experiences. Unforeseen errors during testing, new bugs found that crop up as a result of implementing fixes for others, etc, etc, the list goes on and on.
Cheers
Ant
Does anyone have any idea when the update will be available for the XDAIIi?
I keep checking the O2 website... and there is no mention of it. Could it be an urban myth?! :wink:
I've had my XDAIIi for three months now and I'm getting a little tired of the poor signal strength, freezing phone, unstable messaging software, poor camera picture quality, etc, etc. The XDAIIi does everything I want it to... but doesn't manage to do any of it well. I was really hoping that this update would solve at least some of my woes.
I'm even contemplating turning it into a paperweight, and reverting back to my trusty iPAQ, SD card camera and Nokia 6310i. :roll:
So I guess you are telling that it would simply be better iff Nokia buys HTC?
Hi guys
I actually work for O2 - I am a Device Specialist
I CAN confirm that there WILL be a ROM update released soon.
However there is no confirmed date for this. We cannot get any more infomation on when it will actually be released.
My advice is to just keep checking http://www.my-xda.com and if I find out anything more I will post on here
Hi Paul,
will this include Blackberry email support.
I used this on my XDA2 and went without it when I upgraded to a 2i on the promise it would be coming 'soon' that was back in March.

Thanks Paul.
I won't abandon hope just yet, then. :wink:
Maybe you could try and find out what fixes the ROM update will include?
Probably the same as the i-mate ROM with O2 customisations lol.
Doubt it will be anything great.
I can comfirm that the update will include blackberry support - I think the manufacturers realised they kinda made a mistake not allowing blackberry in the updated handset!
As to other updates, were just as in the dark as you guys - you would be suprised how little we are actually involved with the manufacturer.
All I can say it watch this space
reboot and free youself!
Why not just do a hard reset and install as 'corporate'
(you'll need code 0506)
buy 'sbp pocket plus' and relax.....zzzz
Device is a lot more stable and no more annoying o2 menus
enjoy!

So how would you programatically default the install to Corporate and add in the GPRS settings at the same time?
Why not just install the i-mate ROM and never worry about O2 crap again

UPDATED: Orange release new SPV M3100 upgrade

Sometime over the weekend Orange UK have released a new update for the SPV M3100.
Although the software update page still shows the April 07 update, if you click the "downloads & support" tab the top link will download the new October 07 update (50.7mb).
Download Link http://www.orange.co.uk/business/downloads/SPV_M3100_ROMUpdate_1007.exe
UPDATE: This is not the awaited Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade, but another, seemingly pointless Windows Mobile 5.0 release.
UPDATE 2: Just been phoned by Orange UK support to an e-mail I sent to them at the end of last week...they still protest that there will be no official Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade released by Orange UK for the SPV M3100...even thought a number of us have has e-mails to the contrary. The data team will be phoning me back leter this evening once I get home from work...and will update you all with the result of the conversation.
Updates 3 & 4
Update 3
Orange UK customer support rung 4 times on Monday night, with the final call being escalated to the department manager. Every excuse under the sun was made for them not to give me the information I was requesting:
"Didn't know what it was..."
"Can't find your request..." etc.
The department manager said he'd contact the data team to find out what was going on...why they didn't do this in the first place is beyond me.
Update 4
The support department manager phoned to 6pm last night to say he hadn't any news as of yet from the data team, and that he wouldn't be in the office on Wednesday (today) and that he will contact me tomorrow...
Watch this space...
I'm watching I'm watching!
This update enables HSDPA. Hers's the complete list:
1) Phase in Orange New Security Policy.
2) Call management - when user tries to switch to a second incoming call the incoming caller no longer gets the engaged tone.
3) Correction of issue related to viewing streaming video in full screen mode.
4) Phase in the new MMS version to fix SMIL format compatibility issue.
5) The Line 2 VMI issue is fixed in this ROM.
6) The changes to US timezones are included in this ROM.
7) Phase in the SAP-Profile application in the Accessory folder to fix the Nokia 616 Carkit issue.
8) Phase in the new Dialer application.
9) Enable Vista support.
10) Enhancements to SPV M3100 device performance and stability.
11) HSDPA support is enabled.

2, 8, 10 and 11 are of interest to me. What is "Orange New Security Policy" all about?
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for WM6 for the M3100 but this is the second update they have released to you never know. Here's hoping.
Update 5
Well, Thursday came and went...so did Friday, Saturday & Sunday. And still no return phone call from Orange
In the end, I phoned them on Monday evening when I got home from work...to the usual answer "Sorry, don't know anything about it."...spent 15 minutes re-outlining the problem and the issues with the current support structure Orange UK have adopted.
The support agent then comes back with "Oh, I've found your previous support call details..." (I wasted 15 minutes due to incompetence) "...but the person you were speaking to previously, works in another office and cannot transfer your call. I will have to email him to get him to phone you back."
I was fuming at this point, and told her I expected the return phone call by the close of the support hours...and surprise, surprise I didn't!!!
I'll give them until 18:00 tonight before I phone them back again...
Sherlock...any updates on this?
Update 6
Well, I had to phone Orange again last night...as I've still had no phone call from the person I spoke to last week. Spoke to a very nice lass who, after I again had to explain what was my support request, phoned me back 15 minutes after my original call with an update...
and I quote "The update would be too big for our website..." as she was speaking about the Orange UK Home Page website and not the Orange Business Services - homepage
This was ok, as when I re-explained the support call I forgot to mention the all updates for the SPV M3100 were held on the business site and not the normal site.
So, the up-shot of all this is...I will have to wait for her to get back to me next week with more information...when she has come back from her 3 day off rotation (fri, sat & sun) and had change to chase up the info from the business section.
One thing she did admit though was that "Orange are very slow at releasing anything..." which we all new anyway.
Will post any new information when I receive it...
Having put on the latest upgrade
(Hi Paul, I think we conversed on pocket gps !)
How do I go about downgrading the phone back to the version originally on the phone 13 months ago ?.
I can't believe how much a simple upgrade could scr*w up my phone. Yes the basics work but I only get the BT handsfree with one way audio (no TX only RX) My TTOne will now not communicate with phone to do traffic updates which it has done perfectly for months and the M3100 has crashed 6 times today in a matter of 4 hours....Arrrrrrr!!!
Original firmware please, pretty please, look I'm now grovelling...anyone ?
Next step see if I can get a phone upgrade after 13 1/2 months from orange in a 18 month contract ?
Phil
what is Radio version number in this ROM ?

Hi Phil,
Yes...it's me. Mike Alder can be seen around these parts too.
Sorry to hear that you've had problems. The latest ROM has been just fine for me.
Have a look at WM6...that could (possibly) solve your problems. I'm currently toying with the idea of installing the Schaps 4.01 WM6 ROM.
Hi Paul,
small world. or should that be small WWW
Would be handy to have a previous version of firmware to roll back to should I need it..
Tried a little update to solve a problem with the BT and tomtom unit I found on here but still no joy... Ah well, technology is great (when it does as it's told !!)
Right must let this thread return to it's originators request, don't want to hijack it..
Cheers Phil

UK Vodafone firmware update - JM3 / JM4 - Unwanted apps/issues

Hi all,
I am running the stock UK Vodafone firmware and this morning updated to the latest firmware through Kies.
With this firmware update Vodafone have installed a number of branded applications leading through to their own mobile portals, as well as a couple of trial games.
Some initial issues I have observed are below:
360 Shop - doesnt work
360 Updates - 1 way install of Vodaphone services to the phone, no uninstall option.
Music shop - Fails to connect to the service (later found it does connect but didnt over wifi when I tried it.
Tetris trial & Monopoly trial - Who would want a trial permanently installed on their device?
Web - just another link to the web browser only with the Vodafone 360 login, point exactly?
Duplicated applications in the application drawer.
Note: These applications cannot be installed using the standard package installer. There is an application mentioned on the Voda forums which apparently can remove them http://forum.sdx-dev...34736/#msg34736
This thread is to inform the community about this update, and to call out to anyone running this firmware to voice your opinion on the Vodafone forums and support channels.
This happened to the HTC Desire around a month ago, the community pushed back and Vodafone relented by releasing another update without the additional software.
same old vodafone, they've been pulling this rubbish since the 1st colour phones came out. I've avoided them whenever I can. They know no-one likes the poorly designed interfaces, ugly colour schemes replacing fine designs. Yet because they make money from it they persist.
I half expected that it would come at some point but I hoped they would have learnt from the kickback they got from HTC owners. I guess not.
I tried out their 'Music Shop' app to see if it was any good. It was so badly designed that ended up with an unwanted purchase after about a minute of exploring. I clicked on what looked to be an advert and it started downloading, no purchase confirmation. Terrible.
We had a good laugh about the 14 piece Tetris and 1 circuit round the board Monopoly trials as well.
I know I could mess around with it and debrand, install custom roms etc. But for someone waiting patiently for Froyo from Vodafone, this is a bit of a kick in the teeth.
My SGS is from Vodafone, and last week, when I finally got Keis working, I updated to JM1. I checked again today and there are no other udates available, so I hope that this means that Keis is seeing my phone as a non-branded unit, although it is sim-locked to Vodafone.
Does anyone have any thoughts or definate ideas on this?
got my sgs last week and im assuming that this is the firmware it was sent with because i had all that crap ... and also wifi seemed to hang up at "retrieving IP Address" (or something along those lines)
.. voda branding is horrible ... laggy splash screen .. i've flashed it now
For anyone looking to support this cause, here is a link to the main thread on the Vodafone forum
I received my new Galaxy S from Vodafone about a week ago and it had all that stuff preinstalled. Obviously I flashed it with Odin on receiving it, and will do the same when Froyo is released.
I really can't be bothered with Vodafone branding stuff, you want to see how they messed up the Touch Pro 2. Black letters on a dark red background so you couldn't even see how many new mails etc you got properly :sigh:

Heh yeah I flashed my Galaxy S within 1 day of receiving it, Why won't Vodafone understand that customers don't want the s**t Vodafone branding. I have always flashed my mobile's firmware to get rid of the c**p that Vodafone slap on it and I will continue to do so until they stop raping phones with their stupid and slow firmwares! (fat chance of that right lol)
Feckers.
I'll add my tuppence worth. Hopefully enough SGS owners with Voda will do the same and they'll be forced to release an update that removes this tripe, just as they did for the HTC Desire...
The threads have been merged, new topic can be found here.
I received an email from Vodafone last night asking for some details about my handset so they could investigate it. Not entirely sure what thats about.

According to their eforum team they had a batch of non-branded phones when they first started selling them, presumably because their firmware wasn't going to be ready at launch. I got one, and it's not sim-locked either. Are you sure yours is? I've tried mine with VF, O2 and T-Mobile sims and they all work fine.
If you go into settings, about phone, and check out build number/baseband version, that should have XX in the middle. I think the branded ones have e.g. VOD instead.
I'm in communication with the eforum team and they are investigating my case and many others.
The have said that they are only interested in the handsets which were previously unbranded, which have become branded by this recent update which mine was.
I don't know what my previous build number was, but my current one is ECLAIR.I9000BUJM4

Thanks for the info, my baseband version since I upgraded is i9000XXJM1, so hopefully if I'm careful, I can keep away from the dreaded Voda-bloat.
Somewhere along the line, my phone has crossed over to the dark side.
I think they are identifying those who have been wrongly branded and are going to add them to a special deployment list. Those who were branded already might be another story.
My phone was build number eclair.i9000xxjf3 and now after the recent 2.1update 1 is now eclair.i9000bujm4. Was unbranded now totally branded with vodaphone bloatware.
The updates by kies need to have an update list with them so we know what has changed. BUt why would vodaphone want us to know they are including the bloatware.
I think they are trying to brand all those unbraded vodaphone phones that escaped into the wild.
I got mine in an upgrade from vodaphone online shop at the begining of august.
The more recent phones seem to be already branded.
Fingers crossed for froyo day !!

Will 3 UK provide the Mango update?

Browsing the 3 website I noticed that they no longer have the omnia 7 available. Does anyone know what their commitment is with regards to providing updates?
Everybody will get it. And if official way would take time, you can always grab stock ROM and flash it (but it will wipe all your stuff).
I asked "3" by email about this as my Omnia 7 is 3 branded. The response is in the WP7 Carrier Mango Status' thread so find it there if you want the whole thing, but it basically said they didnt have it yet but were working close with Samsung to get it, and that was the 13th of September, so we might be waiting a while.
I also have a 3UK branded phone. Would doing a registry debrand solve this issue and allow us to receive the update earlier? I don't want to flash and lose all of my data...
