Hello,
I am new to this forum and hope you can help me.
I recently upgraded my O2 XDA Mini S with the latest (Original) QTEK 9100 Firmware that were avaible from the Qtek Webpage. I have done this, because many people in internet say, that the Qtek Firmware is as much faster and less memory intensive as the O2 Firmware.
The Upgrade has done successful. But some days after upgrading I noticed more and more, that this Firmware seems to be less stable and slower than the O2 Firmware I used before. On a second XDA Mini S I also recently Upgraded with the latest O2 Firmware (SPL/IPL 2.19). This Firmware wasn't much better than the O2 Firmware I used before that - but it didn't cause such problems as this one. Nontheless I noticed that too late and for some reason the Upgrade to the Qtek Firmware was not possible with that Firmware any more (FW upgrade failed).
Damn that I selled this phone too early before noticing all issues with the Qtek Firmware on the second phone (where the Qtek Upgrade worked).
Here is a list of all issues that I noticed with the new Qtek FW:
I could swear that all this things worked much better with O2 Firmware!
- I can't use the slide-switch to control the volume while being in a call
(Is there any way to config this?!)
- MagicButton (Tool to "really" exit programs) does have problems to close messaging, phone- and contacts app (won't close). With the recent FW this was no problem.
- I would put my hands in fire that the XDA was much more stable and faster
than now. Often the XDA just hangs a while or crashs while clicking to open a program or loading software.
- For some reason since some days I've noticed an issue with the backspace-key ('virtual touchscreen keyboard') within the messaging app (sms). The Key doesn't work anymore when trying to delete chars. In other app it works. After resetting the XDA it works one or two times - than after reoping it sucks again.
Now another non-software-problem:
My Stylo-Pen doesn't fit and hold anymore. With the other phone (damn...the one I selled) - the pen held perfectly! With this phone it just sucks.
Does anyone have a trick or tip for me? Does anyone know if this is covered by O2 warrenty services?
I hope someone can help me with my issues. If this is really a firmware problem I would like to upgrade to the latest O2 Firmware. But doing this I want to enshure that I don't upgrade the 3rd-Party Firmware lock (that locked my other "unlocked" O2 XDA). I've read something that it might have to do with the SPL/IPL 2.19. Can anyone confirm this? Is it possible to upgrade to the O2 Firmware without the SPL/IPL?
Best Regards
Gabriel
