MP02 Release note v2.0

MP02 Release note v2.0

We are pleased to announce that the long-awaited SW version 2.0 is now available for download. We apologize for on-going delays. This version includes a large number of significant fixes which improve the functioning of the MP02 considerably and leaves only a few issues unfixed.
We recommend all MP02 owners to update to SW version 2.0 as we are expecting to launch an impressive new feature in 2021, which will require software version 2.0 for installation.

Text input

FW update OTA

Partial fixes

• Date and time: further improvements in date and time format inconsistencies
• Call key: further UI improvements related to the Call key capabilities have been implemented.
• Improvements on failed passcode entry: the phone now resets after 10 wrong passcode entry attempts on power up.

Known issues

• AT&T: following reboot, the MP02 doesn't always connect to the cellular network, in the event that this issue occurs restart the device.
• Email and Address fields in the contact feature do not scroll; open the item to view it in full.
• When the most recent message is longer than two lines, the text input field is cropped when highlighted for the first time. Scroll down to view the full message.
• While on two simultaneous calls, if the loudspeaker is turned on during the active call, the menu changes, and the option to switch calls disappears. It is possible to switch calls by pressing the Call key.
• While sharing a contact via Bluetooth, the screen remains blank if there isn't a shareable device in the vicinity.
• Auto-lock doesn't always respond to settings, making it necessary to reset the Auto-lock setting.

We are working towards fixing these issues with the next MP02 software update, SW version 2.1.
