    I think I will upgrade my 6230 with the 4.28 firmware. Someone said
    that this kills all the ringtones Nokia ships with the phone. Can
    anyone confirm this, or its opposite? I like some of the ringtones
    and would not want to lose them.

    Alternatively, how can I back these up, given that Nokia
    copy-protects them. OBEX transfers fail. I can't move them to the
    MMC. Another instance of a customer being ****ed over by the
    companies trying to make money?

    Re: 6230 firmware upgrade and phone goodies

    Backed up my "downloaded" (from pc and OTA) ringtones to the mmc card,
    before taking handset for flash to 4.28.

    Got the phone flashed to 4.28, and didn't lose the existing tones, that are
    resident in RAM?

    Couple of the changes you may note with 4.28, are:- Better (slight) camera
    quality of images. Slightly different menu with "messages e-mail messages".
    Added "next page" to the CENTRE button, as opposed to the left toggle switch
    (when reading mail that you may have retrieved).
    THINK there is a slight increase in the volume levels (although keypad tones
    remain too quiet (as far as I am concerned).

    TRANSPARENT enhancements include Tweaking of Bluetooth handling. Tweaking of
    call handling.

    Trust this may have been of use.

    Oh, PS I also backed up my 6230 to my pc before the flash, but it didn't
    seem to retain my personal ringtones, so it was lucky they were backed up to
    MMC card. Names, telephone numbers were backed up and restored.

    Good luck

    How do you put existing tones into the RAM?

    So you do not have the Nokia Ringtones outside of the phone?

    I have a problem with java apps. If I copy games one at a time, using
    the supplied software, then test the game, things are fine. But if I
    just copy a bunch of games one at a time, but without testing each of
    them, then when I go to play a game the phone reboots itself. It then
    does this as soon as I try to access any java apps. The only way
    around this is to connect using the supplied software again (i'm using
    infrared) and delete the games I just added until it doesn't reboot.
    Tedious. Any idea if this bug has been fixed since my v3.15 firmware?


    Also, my previous phone was a t610 and I found it impossible to get a
    firmware upgrade. SonyEriccson support gave me a few `authorized
    dealers` who told me they don't actually support SE anymore, and I
    wasn't prepared to visit a grumpy old man in Walthamstow who was the
    only person on SE's list who did still do firmware upgrades. I got my
    phone as an upgrade from tmobile at a tmobile store, but they don't
    seem interested in doing anything other than accepting a broken phone
    for replacement. Any ideas how I can get my firmware upgraded for
    free, and preferably on the spot (rather than having to send the phone
    away)?
