ani_meher 42 Report post Posted January 20, 2006 OK, i have found these links on how to do this, on net. So it seems you can do it yourself, given that you have right tools with you. But can anyone tell as to 'why' we should do this? i'd appriciate the answers other than 'because we can'. http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread/t-21434.html http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/showthread/t-21434.html BTW, there seems to be a .29 version of the SZ. Have to search for that as well. There seems to be some "changing contrast problem" faced by some people (not in india) When I have my contrast adjusted about halfway it almost goes brighter every time I close and reopen the flip cover. If I adjust it a little more than halfway to the right, it stays OK. Wouldn't you know that the spot that it goes nuts is just where I want it to be. Do keep us updated. And congrats on successful update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted January 20, 2006 That contrast problem was something even i faced for some time... but using dimmer sure helped quite a lot. Cheers Ashok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rohsum 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2006 Hi Friends I think upgrading the firmware will be very useful, as this phone is now 3 years old, and the firmware which has come with them earlier will not be optimum. Can you please tell me where to get this MZ/PST Software for download, I want to flash my phone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kshah 452 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 hey guys, where are you all? I want you all to read document and tell me wether worth it or not as I am planning to upgrade PDA ver from SZ 1.0.20 to SZ 1.0.29 If all works well than you all can do for better battery life and performance. BTW first charging after upgrade gave little higher battery life: About 48 hours of total uptime and 50 minutes of talk time. Formarly it was about 36-38 hours of uptime and 35 minutes of talk time.

ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 35 mins of talk time ? ? ? ? I use my phone after a charge for a single call of about 90 - 120 mins without any issues ... but yeah standby is bad (the jhol is to switch off the screen light when in use) Cheers Ashok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 (edited) is it? then I envy you. Let me try light thing. I have seen that single call last longer always. Still I feel battery being too old has yet not been revived. It may take few other charges as I feel performance is improving with every cycle.

ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted January 22, 2006 Today I used about 27:03 + 22:06 + 39:44 : 11:00 + 52:01 = 2 hours 31 minutes 54 seconds, of continious usage, spread over 5 calls , and I still have one band left from the battery.... just checked my logs I guess I am getting a good talk time, standby is okay with one day approx. and well I carry my charger around, so not really an issue.

sajokj 8 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 Firmware upgradation is good, if its original firmware. I use to upgrade firmware of my GSM handset Samsung C100. The default firmware of the Samsung C100 does not allow us to upload/Download Java games to C100 using Cable/Wap/GPRS. But when I upgraded the firmware it performed better. I was able to upload and download Java games, can change the Font and size of the font ect... But If there is a single bug then it creates a lot of problem. As I have not yer recevied my handset I cant comment on 7135, But once I get it I can comment on it. Hope will get the handset in my hand soon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
basant_jp 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) True guys..Tlak time is not that bad...On a single charge I am getting a talk time of about 2 hours on a single call + 30-45 minutes on other calls. Even then the battey never exhauted completely....Not to mention, I use this phone in roaming which supposedly consume more power. Of course, the standby time is poor. Cheers!

ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted January 25, 2006 Thanks a ton mate ... but when I try to run the "software download", and well detection of phone by Unicdma (as "Samsung") and by bitpim "other CDMA phone" is fine, even the PST detects the phone. I specify the Phone Image, and SPC as 000000 Auto backup / restore is enabled. Pic will be back soon when i click on Start... a box pops up like this pic will be back soon any guess what the issue could be ? Cheers Ashok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ani_meher 42 Report post Posted January 25, 2006 I tried to upgrade the phone software using posted softwares. but it is showing me 'wrong SPC, phone will not accept any read/write command for next 10 seconds'. After 10 seconds, when I hit the upgrade, again it shows the same thing. I tried with SPC as 000000 as well as 111111. Why is this happening? Should I reinstall the KWSPT?

ashoksoft 83 Report post Posted January 26, 2006 I upgraded the Phone Firmware day before yesterday ... Advantages : 1. Better battery life. 2. Better Network Coverage. 3. Automatic roaming resolved. 4. Bug of abnormal ringtunes resolved when in silent mode and message + call comes in together, and u silence the viberator. Disadvantages : Outcalling was auto blocked for sometime issue resolved (could be due to some keeda I did with the phone) ----------------------- Upgraded the PDA Software today Advantages : 1. Better support when multitasking (appears a lot faster) 2. The main screen (Phone mode) shows Date / time / location. 3. Tetris seems more playable. ---------------------------------------- Other keeda kandi's possible.... a little illegal hints also 1. U can change the phone ESN by registering ur phone as a Samsung phone in UniPST 2. U can read and write to the FS using Bitpim / Other phone. 3. Using PST for Kyo... u can practically do anything on the handset anything u can expect a phone to do Cheers Ashok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
