Oooh, I know that sinkin' feeling when you realize stuff like that (just before you bang your fists on the table) 😉

Also thanks for the new firmware. I didn't got it till now since i have my sendo given to my dealer to repair it. They take locally care of it. Good dealer 😊 Now some questions:

1. Is it possible to get more updates on the firmware to small bugs which will be found in the current firmware? I will help to find them. I know already one or two glitches in the new features.
2. Is it possible to get a release of the theme editor? We all wanted to make our own themes so badly. Or is hacking our last approach?
3. Is it possible to improve the firmware a little bit with help of outstanding developers? (I don't think so, but we can ask)

What would be very cool for us here? Sendo please open up some source and help us to improve the firmware. The Sendo X is very cool and it would be cooler to make it an open source handy 😊 Yes, i know, Serie 60 is licensed and sources aren't avaible to individuals...

Sincerly, murphy

Just to say that all gprs worked perfectly. 😊
Now i'll use this phone till the end of the year (planning on grabbing an nokia n70 😃 )

confirmed, using the portuguese firmware, the gprs bug is fixed 😊

I would like to thank all the sendo devs that managed to fix this bug after their company is gone - this is GREAT tech support and dedication! thanks again :icon14:

Very unlikely. As Motorola don't own a Series 60 license, all the access which the Sendo engineers have previously had to Series 60 source code will have to be (has been) removed. No further releases will be possible.

It's highly unlikely the Theme Editor will ever be released now.

No, as above, there's no access to the source code.

Thanks stu for the answers 😊

One last question: Will the update come for the german phones or is it possible to use another update in a german phone?

Thanks for all, murphy

Andy is still working on the German update, but others will certainly work on your phone. Just pick one which contains German as a language.

Thanks for quick answer. Here is the fun of all: I never use german as main language in my phone. I always used english 😉

Cheers, murphy

This post is to report a bug in firmware (i'm using portugues, don't know if it's present in others.
When the phone is locked and in screensaver and recieve a call the phone become unlocked (has in previous lock bug). :frown:
Can you test with other packages?

To clarify a little better:
it doesn't need to be in screensaver, just locked.
the call is a missed call, while ringing it is unlocked and never turn the lock on when ring stop.
In this mode you can operate now! and all the links but can't open menu or use the top key (shut down, profiles) and the backlight not always works.
Only thing is to remove battery or wait until it locks again. Same as previous unlock bug.
I'm just reporting this in hope that other realeses are good becuse i don't believe this will get fixed 😞 (not blaming any (ex)sendo workers who done a very good job for us)

Thanks.
This is just to lock the keypad or the phone?
If you're not using the portuguese version, can you test this problem?

My phone is currently at the repair service (microphone problem -> vodafone warrenty 😊 ), when i got it back today i will try it out.

The Autolock is for locking keypad not the phone with security.

Cheers, murphy 😊

Expansys version works OK.

Situation:
Keypad locked->phone is ringing (keypad unlocked)->missed call (keypad back locked)

or

Keypad locked->pone is ringing (keypad unlocked)->answer->after call (keypad back locked)

Thank you, Sendo😊

Phone lock (top button -> lock phone)

Sorry😮) Phone lock works not. I allways get "System error", or error beep.

It works as it should for me. I can answer / reject a call when it comes in (and use the phone while that call is active) - the second the call is ended the phone returns to being locked.

Thanks Andy 😊

I've had one of each Sendo smartphones in my hands today- Z100, X and X2... boxed them up and counted for the administrators. 😡

Nope, I can't get MYSELF one, let alone you lot 😃


But what about the 100 I have on order? 😉

Maybe you haven't defined a code for phone lock.

Where can i find it? This is first time, i use this function...

stuclark wrote:But what about the 100 I have on order? 😉

I have only one X2 in order 😊 So i'm getting now back to the vodafone repair center and get my X back.

C Ya in some hours. I hope i can update my handset...

Cheers, muphy

Nightwisher wrote:Ok what version you are using? Guess i'll have to use the phone in english. Not big deal 😊

I'm using the Expansys UK version, but will test it later using other versions as well.
