Thanks for the heads up. :approve:

Is there a way to check a newly purchased (used) AXIM to see what updates have been installed?

Haesslich

Not that I know of - but if you just purchased it and the fix shows up later... it's probably not on there. :D Aka 'this isn't in A12 if it's released this way'. Anyone tried this out to see if it screws anything ELSE up?

they need to make an update to fix the tv static glitches

Will this update wipe out my X51v and force me to reinstall all my apps?

Sounds like it will make WiFiFoFum a killer application on the X51 series!

I just ran it, and it's seemless, no errors. I'm kinda liking this new method for updates! :)

Don't get too excited....this is just a Driver Update, not a full blown ROM upgrade. I think those (ROM) will still require Hard Reset and re-inatallation of programs. I am going to give it a try now.

EDIT: Everything went well. Was very quick and easy :approve:

I did the upgrade and it makes the switch between my AP's better.
Also if you change from one wireless to another is better.
Not so much excitement
