I just got the flash done at my store today. It works money. Took about 2 hours just cuz I had a bunch of things in my phone that it had to save then rewrite.
1. It did enable the mp3 player. I allows it to be played with the phone closed. I have 1gb of memory. I put on a few songs to try and it worked beautifully.

2. So far, the volume problem is fixed. I haven't had any issues at all with the phone, but like I said I just got the flash done so we'll see as i continue to test the phone.

3. The phone does not reset when going into your text messages, this was happening to mine and it was very annoying. So far so good. Thank god this firmware came out.

If you guys have anything you want me to check out on the phone. Post your que...

Ok, I missed the previous topics, how do you get the update? Does it fix the up/down volume problem on the handset?

Yes it does from what I hear. I personally never had that problem but I have read that others did and now it is gone. You get the update by calling your local store and seeing if they have it available. If they do go in and they will install it for you.

Apparently NO VZW stores have the update or aware of one here in Des Moines!!! 👿 If anyone out there is from Iowa let me know if you do have it. This is ridiculous, if they don't get our money then they don't want to help us (they spend 2 hours downloading the software to our phone but don't make a profit for it)!!!

I feel your pain Ryno. These guys they call "techs" must have the IQ of .4 I have gone to all the of the Des Moines area stores with no success. I even had the Merle Hay store say they had the update but it was corrupt and they needed another "batch." Either they don't know what they are doing or they don't want to do the update. I still believe software updates falls under customer service and should provide this when requested. I waited for 45 minutes today I was behind some guy that couldn't figure out how to access his voice mail, after that I was told it wasn't available and that anyone that posts on phone scoop that said they had it was "lying" or using a "hack."

The echo is almost a non issue now. The only time anyone notices is when I ask them if they hear an echo and even then they say they can ignore it.
