Babelfish says:


- Knot pad DMB/ radio same time remaking function addition
- Knot pad yellow color pen addition
- After knot pad using music/eastern image index error actual condition amendment
- Image pyu U BMP file expander royal tomb addition
- Electronic dictionary UI improvement
- FM radio long time use hour receiving sensitivity decrease problem solving
- Memory initial anger function normalization
- Other function stabilization

What I can decipher:

- radio keeps working while using the notepad
- yellow colour in notepad
- (no idea, some error fix probably)
- probably BMP support
- improved dictionary UI
- FM radio sensitivity bug fixed
- (no idea)
- other functions stabilized

Didnt test it yet, dont want to erase my data just for yellow color ;-)

Doesn't seem like a very impressive release, but it is more stable i suppose, unlike the beta.(Not tested)

so, 2.45 should be out in the next few days...

[Barron]

Will install this just as it is the proper release, will this erase my files or not.

[Taustin Powers]

What's the deal with firmware upgrades erasing all your files anyways? I mean, seriously, what the hell? You're telling me they can't find a way to avoid that?

[addz]

yep unfortunally it will erase your files. tbh its no problem with me, its only 4gb of music.

now if it was a 60gb harddrive then i would start kicking and punching.

[Taustin Powers]

Yah agreed, it's not a huge deal.... but still an annoyance, and I just find it hard to believe that there is no way to fix it. Other players can do it? My X5 can do it?

I honestly don't understand why it does that in the first place. Even if its only 4gb, its still an inconvenience to have to put all your music and videos back on again, after a firmware upgrade.

[mikey]

I read the beta release didnt delete your files, weird

[Michalaq]

It did. I flashed the 3.45b beta when I got my D2, and it erased all the factory files that came preloaded.

[alamakazam]

funny thing, I couldnt get this patch to work

[addz]

^ you can you cant get the fw to work?

remember copy contents of folder 0 to the root of the player > restart,
copy contents of folder 1 to the root of the player > restart,
copy contents of folder 2 to the root of the player > restart.

Just a caution...I flashed from 2.41 to 3.45 and my D2 doesn't work anymore after loading the Power Dictionary files. More info here http://iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=14750

[__PhaseShiftDown]

I also had 2.41, flashed to 3.45 as normal and it works fine.

[AussiePie]

When i went from 2.41 > 2.45b the files all remained after the update but all the personalized settings were deleted/reset, i think that the files will remain if the FW folder 0 is not used in the upgarde, but the folder 0 option is used in most upgardes especially when going between the 2.'s and the 3.'s :)

[snakebite2]

The Note Pad is kinda buggy. Sometime when drawing it makes a straight line. Anyone have this problem?

[omjeremy]

Yes... that has to do with the touch screen. I don't think a program will be able to fix this. Try pressing a little harder (not too much!) and being more deliberate.

[etlgfx]

anyone tried the track order in Music Library browsing mode? did they fix the sorting of OGG files by track number?

[Dominic]

nopes

[stabbb]

juts went from 3.45b to 3.45. no problems. don't overload the internal memory just after the update. leave some free space and everything should work fine.

didn't fix WMA track ordering

[Rosiu]

I have WMA listed correctly in the track order.

[Aevum]

is it really that dangerus to upgrade to 3.45 ?

[snakebite2]

is it really that dangerus to upgrade to 3.45 ?

It's not dangerous, if you have at 5mb left and follow the instructions.

You need to put the file in the root(D2 drive) directory not in the system.
You need to connect the d2 to pc and copy the files in 1 folder, then disconnect it.
power it on... wait for the update to finish then repeat with folder 2.

on 3.45? are you sure that's with id3 browsing (eg by album or artist) and not by folder?
