Details of improvements
This update fixes the following issue:
- After a call dialed from N-04A ends, the missed call indication of Machi-Chara may appear on the standby screen.
- If the "Lighting" or "Brightness" setting in "Backlight" of the display is changed, guidance is displayed to notify you that the usage time will become shorter.
- In the case of the standby screen (inactive state) when the mobile phone is in a closed state, the mode switches to power saving mode after the set backlight lighting time elapses, regardless of the wait time setting of the power saving mode.
In addition to solving the issue above, updates also includes other enhancements to make better use of your mobile phone.
All issues to date will be fixed by performing the latest software update.
