Re: Anyone try the new firmware for Intrepid posted on sprint.com

Few comments here.

1. Bizarre that Sprint and Samsung did not announce this firmware update. I've been checking their website. And now after reading this, I am able to find the update on Sprint website - NOT Samsung as one user mentioned.

2. Update released 2 months ago and we are just finding out about this....

3. As for your connectivity issues. Perhaps your phone has to be re-programmed?

4. I use unlocked phone with ROGERS sim card in Canada. At first, my connection sucks. I would get disconnected every few hours or so. Until I changed to "Auto" to specific Band selection, I almsot never have any issues ever since. I do not know if updating the firmware will screw up my connection as well. I'm abit scared.

For you who want to try the Band selection. Go to settings, personal, phone, then click on the services tab (on bottom) then find "Band Selection", click change settings.

I have mine on 850 1900 MHz to work with Rogers. I've tried other options and none works only this one with Rogers. Perhaps you have to find what your band should be with Sprint or whoever.

5. It pi$$es me off that they have not fixed the LED notifcation issue. Come on seriously how can it be hard?

Honestly, I do not know how windows plan to sell their windows based phones to the general population.

I've had Moto Q with WM 5.0 and now this phone with WM 6.5 both are NOT user friendly and you have to muddle around the settings to get things work your way. With Blackberry, things work on the first try!
