if point 1 holds true, it's more than welcomed but not really my most pressing issue, if you know what i mean.

thanks I will use your post in my iaudiophile topic as well

[Mr. Popo]

I don't know about you, but the better power management is welcome, I find too often that when I leave it in sleep mode it is dead after only a day or two.

Nice.

[Urne]

Do want. I honestly didn't expect Cowon to continue updating the J3, but new firmware updates are always welcome ^^

[Confispect]

^ Same I haven't noticed any improvements so far 10& thru 20& might go unnoticed.

Hello, first post and its already to ask questions...

Got my J3 some days ago and have just noticed these firmware updates, but... which is the right one? or it doesnt matter? are they different?

My J3 says its using the 1.23 version when I turn it on, does that mean I should use the 1.26 firm?

Thanks =)

I should probably have come back to this thread to provide some feedback based on my daily use since then:

So far I've experienced zero issues with 2.26 and I would recommend switching for the sake of all the bug fixes and supposed improved power management. I'm not very often forced to rely on the J3's long battery life so I can't tell if I have felt any improvement compared to earlier firmware versions. I would still advice installing 2.26 anytime though!

[Confispect]

Yeah I'd say it does it might be my brain but the bar moves slower :P:

[MrJinks]

i have tryed 2.26 for more than two months and i have to say that my battery does not last longer but it does drain faster so i dont see the improved power management here
back to 2.23

[Hyomil]

The "resume by millisecond level" didn't work for me. In mp3 podcasts it would resume later than the point it was paused, so you'd miss a few words. Went back to 2.25 and its fine again.
