How do you keep upto date with the latest Sony software updates for the NX70V? What is the best site(s)?

 

Thanks

No, thats the wrong place for a european version of the NX70. You dont need al the US updates update. The european version is newer and has several updates already in place (no need for the system update and part of the MS Pro update).

For support of the european Clie's go to CLIÉ plaza (http://www.clieplaza.com/) and then select "Support" and then go through the menu. Eventually you should get on the NX70 Updates (http://www.clie-link.com/uk/updates.asp?ID=884&submenu=updates.asp&mainmenu=compatibility.asp) page.

Dumb Americans... :D

How was that said before, English doesn't always equate to American :).

I discovered today on the home page of ClieSource, that it has a listing of what appears to all of Sony's support sites.

Larry or any one,

If I am just getting mine NX70 right now, how can tell whether I need the Sony system software update or not? Also, if there are other updates I need, kindly point that out for me as well.

Best,
John

On all of the updates I have installed, on the page with instructions on the install there is a section tell you how to determine wheter you have had a successful update.
Frank

Example:

Confirm a Successful Installation

Tap the "Home" icon on the CLIÉ ™ handheld.

Tap the "Menu" icon, and select "App".

Tap "Info" from the App drop-down list.

All internal data information is displayed.

Tap "Version" at the bottom of the screen.

The software version for each item is displayed.

Scroll down the list and confirm that the following filenames and versions are displayed:



3452MSLib v2.00 & v1.00
Avx AT3Decoder v1.00 & v1.01
AvxMP3Decoder v1.0 & v1.01
CFLib v1.01
PenPatchNX70 v1.00

There is not last version of msmount.
MSMount never updated there OS4.xx version so it will not work on OS5.
I have been using MemHack and PowerRun which do work on OS5.
Between both you should be satisfied.

Anytime you have to do a hard reset, you will need to re-install the system update patch, as it goes in RAM only! I keep a copy of the install file on my memory stick as well as some other drivers that aren't restored after a restore.

If you don't use the ATRAC3 music format, you can delete the AVX AT3 v1.01 decoder file to save some memory.

It (G Model) is listed on Sony's Asian support site, it takes awhile to load.

The USA version is different and Sony has made mistakes before with the versions reported. If most are okay, then you should be okay, so have fun!

thanks larry. i always appreciate your help.....

ive had a few bad things happen with my clie lately and i dont want this to be the latest thing to go wrong.

hey, whilst im speaking to you (so to speak), you mentioned that i have the asian version of the nx. is it true that the asian version has more flash ram the the rest?

cant remember where but i thought i read that the asian one has 2mb more then the u.s. version. is this true?

Sorry, I don't know if it has any more Flash Rom. If it's multi-language, then it might have less. The USA version has 4.8 MB free. The Japanese model I think has the least. You can download JackFlash lite and it can tell you have much is available. Don't try and move any files into ROM, your limited to 64K I believe.

Download and try it, it's no biggie :)

I don't know if you have an Asian model, it's just listed on the Asian site.
