It is always wise to backup your phone and 3rd party apps before doing any updating....there are threads on here on how to do that if you do not know how.
Can anyone confirm whether this fixes the .282 media card loading issue? i.e. every time you use mass storage mode when plugged into a computer it re-scans the entire Micro SD card when you disconnect? Thanks
