I noticed recently that after the latest firmware update on my E61 (Euro) the startup sound during the "handshake" no longer plays...is this just me or have others had that happen?
The phone doesnt have to be in silent for the start up tone to be off. Their is setting you can toggle on and off. It's probably set to off. I keep mine off anyway.
edit: At least I thought there was....cant seem to find it in my E50 but I know it doesnt make a sound while in general once I reboot.
No..it appears to be something on the memory card interfering with the startup chime..when I take out the card, it seems to work..at least the one time I tested it...
