problems after 6230 firmware update

[aamerz]

hi all

i am facing many problems after upgrading my 6230 firmware. i had version 3.15 when i bought the phone. the major bug in 3.15 is that the bearer settings for gprs CANNOT be set because there are no options there!!! all u get is a blank screen.

anyway, to rectify this i got my firmware updated from 3.15 to 4.4. the following problems cropped up after update.

1. phone's internal memory was reduced from 9.2 mb to 7.1 mb.

2. sound quality increased by several notches. previously, if i listened to an mp3 at volume level 6, i can now listen to the same mp3 at volume level 3. due to this, the sound is now disrupting giving the feeling the speaker is busting up.

3. video quality has decreased.

4. caller groups was inactive.(however that becomes ok if the phone is reset at factory settings)

has anybody else experienced the same problems or additions to these?

many thanx!!!

remove the MMC card and check the memory again, it will show 9MB, it is some sort of a bug, but your memory is still 9MB, even if it shows otherwise if the MMC card is inserted...

thanx for ur input. i appreciate it.

well........i did as u said. no change. the internal phone memory still shows 7.1 mb regardless of whether the mmc is present in the slot or not. i figure this is due to the new firmware. it probably occupies more space than version 3.15.

then i think is hardware problem. Maybe urs is an older 6230. Nokia used to use smaller internal memory chips.

OK, let's get this straight: EVERY Nokia 6230 has 7.2MB internal memory!
PRIOR to firmware 4.44 there was a BUG: your FREE memory was at a FIXED amount,
while your USED memory was shown RIGHT and TOTAL memory was CHANGING according to FREE+USED amount. Ok til here? You could get 9MB, even 10+ TOTAL memory.
In firmware 4.44 this was fixed and the phone shows CORRECT amount of 7.2 MB.

No More Bull****!
