I went to my audi today, and while she was in the midst of making some changes for me to my Phonak Lumity Life 90’s, she was prompted to install a new firmware update - Version 1.0.9.0. She did not know what issues the new update addressed - wonder if anyone is familiar with what the new version includes.
OK! This JUST in from my audi’s. I had to go there for a minor fix on a pair of aids and my timing was perfect cuz that new firmware update is indeed out as of 6th Dec. Here’s what the screen said after she installed it:
Improved Bluetooth connectivity with several devices in parallel
More reliable operation in cold temperatures
More stable connectivity with Roger WallPilot
And there you have it! So if you haven’t had your Life aids updated, go DO it.
Also, my audi said that a few HA makers are now enabling users with phone apps to download and install these updates themselves! But, Phonak is not there yet …
I kinda DOUBT it, cuz my audi knows I have Marvels and she didn’t say a thing about them. They are about 5 yrs old now, battery operated, and NOT under any warranty. If your aids are as old, I’m not even sure Phonak bothers with firmware updates for aids that are that old?
Not related, but today’s Lumity Life firmware update adds stability to the Roger WallPilot. Never even heard of that till I surfed up and found out what it is and what it does. COOOOL!
Be sure it’s the release from 12/6 - or maybe different audis get the notification at different times?
I don’t get the sense that Phonak keeps audis informed in a timely manner of these updates … and FORGET about us users! We are the last to ever know IF our aids are due for these updates. Beyond puzzling, cuz each one is developed to address USER issues.
I’m not sure about P90 but I own a pair of KS 10 that was also updated to latest firmware 1.1.15.0,(which was released in Sep 2023 as per google search)
Ah, yes, my Phonak Audéos updated to the same firmware version. I just had some trouble with the Target software. I used v. 8.1, because the update to v. 9 would not start under Windows 10 for some reason. It now updates to v 9.05, and that version opens without problems. Only the latest Target version proposes the firmware update.
It destroyed the streaming function on my Audeo L-90 hearing aids. Streaming shuts down if I receive a call and won’t resume. The same thing happens if I turn streaming off and then try to turn it back on. Take Pandora for example. I was listening to music when I got a call. Of course I know it pauses streaming during the phone call, but it did not resume after the call disconnected. When I went to Pandora to manually start the app, there was no sound AND after a couple of seconds, it was shut down/turned off. The only way I can get it back is to unpair and disconnect everything, and then go through the entire pairing process again.Obviously, I am not going to do that every time I want to stream. I have an appointment with my audiologist tomorrow. I will update then. BTW - phone calls stream to the HAs with no issues.
