XC90 phone? firmware
Does anybody know if Volvo has upgraded the firmware in the phone inside the XC90?
I have an 04 plate, and everytime I turn the vehicle on, I get a service message from phone company which basically tells the 'phone' if I have any texts or answerphone messages.... the text message is blank and has to be deleted everytime, not a major problem but gets very annoying.... The phone should not display this message and it should all go on in the background so to speak. Is there a way to find out what version of the firmware I have? TnF

Having owned two XC90's with Comm's Pack, I have not experianced your problems. As the phone and Sat Nav come as a combined package, the only way that I can think that upgrades are carried out, is when a new dvd is released. To find your latest installed system, you will need to go into the "about" menue within the Sat Nav. But not 100% sure if the information includes the phone system, as well as the Sat Nav. tem. |

the standard way of checking the firmware version on a normal handset is typing *#0000#. Not sure if this will work on the volvo comms pack though?

Don't know about the XC90 comms pack
But I've had this problem with ordinary phones when I've inserted a simcard in a phone which doesn't have the same facilities as the one from which the SIM was removed - like WAP browsing, picture messaging or email.
The network keeps trying to send the setup info to the phone, which can't do whatever's needed. |

Hello TnF,
I also get a 'blank' message on the phone in my car which until erased keeps sending a reminder each time you turn on the ignition. The conclusion I came to was that you only get this when a call has diverted to v/mail and someone has actually left you a message. If they don't I tend to get a standard 'missed call' message. It is a bit annoying as it took me a while to figure out why I kept getting blank messages for no apparent reason. I don't know if it's down to Phone provider or the car software not being compatible with the v/mail message alert ? Hope this helps a bit - if anyone knows a way to make it more informative with an update to the software - great. Cheers Ian. PS 05MY D5. |

Thanks for your help, I guess this is something I'll have to live with. As I'm on orange, I understand when your phone logs onto the system a text is sent which contains only system characters telling your phone if you have any voice mail messages. It would appear that the inbuilt phone can't decode these...I'll try with a Vodafone sim later (I must admit I didn't think of that earlier)

Guys, those of you on Orange - dial into your answerphone and turn OFF missed call and voicemail alerts.....
This turns off the automatic texts that get sent - but still leaves the new message indicator flag working.. Mike |
