I have two controllers and one service. Could someone explain me why firstname will be not updatet / the reference is "old" when changing it?

I thought this is the way to communicate between controllers...?

<!-- language: lang-js --> 
// Controller 1
function controllerOne (..., myService) {
    $scope.firstname = myService.customer.firstname;
}

// Controller 2
function controllerTwo (..., myService) {
    $scope.firstnameNew = myService.customer.firstname;
}

// Service
application.factory('myService', ...)
    function(...) {
    return {
         customer: {
             "firstname": "",
             "lastname": "",
             "pers": "",
             "street": "",
             "zip": "",
             "city": "",
             "selectedCountry": "",
             "comment": ""                          
        },
                    ...
    }

    Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it’s hard to tell exactly what you're asking. Commented Jul 16, 2013 at 17:19

Communicating between controllers, please check the below fiddle.

var myModule = angular.module('myModule', []);
myModule.factory('mySharedService', function($rootScope) {
    var sharedService = {};

    sharedService.message = '';

    sharedService.prepForBroadcast = function(msg) {
        this.message = msg;
        this.broadcastItem();
    };

    sharedService.broadcastItem = function() {
        $rootScope.$broadcast('handleBroadcast');
    };

    return sharedService;
});

function ControllerZero($scope, sharedService) {
    $scope.handleClick = function(msg) {
        sharedService.prepForBroadcast(msg);
    };

    $scope.$on('handleBroadcast', function() {
        $scope.message = sharedService.message;
    });        
}

function ControllerOne($scope, sharedService) {
    $scope.$on('handleBroadcast', function() {
        $scope.message = 'ONE: ' + sharedService.message;
    });        
}

function ControllerTwo($scope, sharedService) {
    $scope.$on('handleBroadcast', function() {
        $scope.message = 'TWO: ' + sharedService.message;
    });
}

ControllerZero.$inject = ['$scope', 'mySharedService'];        

ControllerOne.$inject = ['$scope', 'mySharedService'];

ControllerTwo.$inject = ['$scope', 'mySharedService'];
