Exclamation New Firmware XG23 available

XG23 firmware for the i500 was released yesterday. I got it installed at my local Sprint store today.

Supposedly this fixes the data issues that people have had with WK19 firmware.

...and I assume it fixes the Thinkpad sync and mic sensetivity issues previously addressed in WK19??

(now the difficult part, explaining to my local Sprint store what it is I'm looking for and how to install it...ugh! I dread the thought...)

Atleast Samsung/Sprint seems to be addressing I500 requests/legitimate limitations.

Quick update...it now automatically disconnects after approx. 2 hours, so you almost never have to wait for blazer to time-out.
Good Work!!!

Is the Sprint store the only place to get it?

Nothing you can do off the web and sync in I presume.

Thanks... Gary

Yeah... Either find a Sprint store to do it, or send it to Samsung for a few weeks

I'm really enjoying this new firmware...it seems to know when to automatically disconnect from vision by itself which is great!
Definitely go out and get it!
I'm going to sticky this thread for the time being...
