Greets, thanks and a UK Vodafone question

Degriz wrote:Hi all, new round here so I thought id say Hi!

This site just saved my backside, did the whole product id, update to 15.x.x.x firmware thing on my 95 8gb just now and lots of stuff went crazy, my "Desktop" lost of its icons etc (on the fone that is) and then the fone gave the dreaded "Unable to start contact vendor" message, EEEK!.

Gave it the 3 finger death grip described elsewhere on this forum and blam! All working again! MANY MANY THANKS!!!

Now its working again I notice the name of some of my internet gateways has changed. Is Vodaphone GPRS the same as Vodaphone Contract Internet? Dont want big scarey bills!!

D 😊

Just ring up Vodafone and tell them you've lost your internet settings by accident, they should send you all the settings you'll need.

Ok thanks will try that. Was trying to avoid them as I lost the settings haxx0ring the fone 😮

Nah, you don't need to tell them anything like that, just say that your settings have gone wrong and can they send you them all again. I did it with Orange after i debranded mine and they sent me them all.

There should be an automated service on their webby. Put your number in, phone model, and they send it all via text.

And welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your new phone 😊

Ahh cool thats ok then, might look on the webby to0, just to be sure.
Yeah Im loving the 8GB tis a lovely bit of kit. Always gone with £10 Tesco fones til now but fancied a new toy! Got a huge library of ebooks and more often than not find myself tucked up in bed reading my phone these days 😊
Bit of a nightmare updating the thing. As I mentioned, I changed the product code and all that, then updated, then tried to restore my old contacts etc and partially bricked the fone, was a bit of a brown trouser moment. Luckily the answer was here!
Seems a lot of people have had similar probs. I think it may be something to do with having apps installed on your mem stick for some reason. It tried to reinstall a lot of them from the backup and thats when things went wrong 😞

Aaanyway. Been having fun installing scummvm and mame and getting some nice oldschool games installed, never thought Id play Monkey Island again...hehe.

Thanks for all your help people!

PS One thing Ive just noticed is that one of the flashing faqs you have here mentions changing the Product Number back to normal after flashing, is that ok is it?

Also cant find the configurator on the Voda site, just goes to a whole heap of faqs about stuff..Anyone got a clue where it is?
