Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / May 2006updating your phone?
If anyone has the feature on their phone to update it, does it work for you? On my 8300 I can go into the settings somewhere and choose "Update Phone" and it acts like it's connecting to something and trying to update, but after a few seconds I get a message saying "To update your phone in the future, go to Settings --> etc. etc." but I can't tell if anything was actually done at that time. Am I supposed to get some feedback that the phone has updated? > If anyone has the feature on their phone to update it, does it work for > you?

Even though the phones have the ability in their menu it is up to Sprint to make it work on their end. And they never did that. larryt510@hotmail.com wrote in news:1147992963.318112.241260 @j73g2000cwa.googlegroups.com: >> If anyone has the feature on their phone to update it, does it work for >> you?

Yes I believe the Samsung A900 does have the ability to update the firmware over the air using the menu function. Sprint has deployed it for that one. I can confirm that. When I purchased mine, the first thing I did was an update... it took about 10 minutes, but it did work >> If anyone has the feature on their phone to update it, does it work for >> you?

Does it auto-detect when you call *2 like it has in the past? > >> If anyone has the feature on their phone to update it, does it work for > >> you?

There is no way to do it without taking the phone into a Sprint store and have them to do it with a cable connection. However they now charge $35 to do that. >If anyone has the feature on their phone to update it, does it work for >you?

If there is no update available it responds as you have described, but in my case there was an update available and it warns you prior to installing the update so you definitely know what is happening before you proceed. |
