Okay no, it doesn't work. None of it. Every time i take out my batteries and put them back in, the hotcig logo flashes continuously and when it finally goes on, all my settings have been wiped and i have to start from scratch. I do not trust this chip one bit, i just hope it doesn't die on me completely. Thanks for your help man, i really do appreciate it as there is virtually no info on this out there. From my point of view i would advise people NOT to do any update as this lack of memory thing sucks
... it sucks deeply!
