So we're talkin about another "erase" the entire phone and re-install (sync) your phone afterwards type of update?

thanks kewl.....just installed it........having the 1.10 software, it took less than 10 minutes to complete......will update whether it worked and if there are any other bugs noticed tomorrow. and yes, it's another erase, reboot, hot sync, but not as long as the first time

Did it yourself i presume with a spare card? (Verizon did mine at one of their maintainance stores) If the process is simple let me know.

I did it using a spare SD card. I have a bunch of them because both my Canon point & shoot digital and Treo using SD card. I had an old 1GB lying around and used it for installing the updated firmware which took only 10 minutes last night. So far, so good.

I did back up my data on Backup Buddy VFS on my Treo's 2GB SD card. Hard reset the Treo 700p (which basically wiped out everything). Installed the new firmware _1.10 which basically only took 10 minutes because it was just updating the network connection routines and then took out the 1GB SD card and put back my Treo-only 2GB SD card and restored my data using Backup Buddy VFS that was stored on the 2GB SD Card!

I guess the hard reset got rid of bunch excess data because now the Treo 700p is running snappier as well. No problem connecting to the Internet network!

I guess since they fixed it, then the VZW Treo 755p should be coming out soon since it uses similar firmware....;)

i did it through my computer. so far so good. my phone sat idle overnight and this morning i was able to surf the web on the phone no problem.....let cross our fingers and hope it didn't cause any other bugs

Without using a spare card?? I don't have a spare card or card reader so i was trying to skip the expense of both. If there's an easier way i would appreciate the advice. :thumbup:

Does the Treo 700w work with the x5?


Thanks

So you downloaded the new firmware.......I got that but what did you use to install the firmware on the spare SD card? A card reader?

yeah...just downloaded the revised file...unzipped it, attached the treo as if i was going to hot sync it, ran the program and it fixed the problem in about 8 and a half minutes. it's been working great ever since. just make sure not to move your treo or usb cord while updating if you have a touchy connection like i have.
