DUDE! wot is rds? that is the question you should google for.
handset features? get the w810 white paper.
this is firmware and bug reporting.
Posted by kabukijep
at all? could it just be your location? sometimes when fm signal is weak in my place, rds doesnt work either
jeez if that's true that's a major bug. theyve been touting rds as a feature and it doesnt work. funny

@ grca73: isnt R4CE012 operator-specific?
Posted by grca73
so far that is only one i observed.
heard some other peeps experience camera shutting down just before taking a pic. never happened to me.
videos play much smoother without chopping even 385 kbit/s encoded files with 25 frames per sec.
so the processor must be faster compared to k750/w800, same camera version.

if it is, it's unlocked and unbranded so which part makes it operator specific.
no known way to unlock it or unbrand with third party softwares yet so i know its not reworked in the shop
regarding rds it works on k750 both phones in hand

how about the others, how's rds?
i wont be bothered by that; i personally dont like the way rds-enabled stations are displayed on the phone; it's not as aesthetically pleasing as the big bold fonts used when the actual frequency is displayed

im runnig R4CE and everynow and again it freezes for no reason,

fatreg
Posted by Mr Miyagi
For those of you who are experiencing a freezing issue, what network are you experiencing that on???
also anyone had any camera issues? if so what network???
Fatreg are you going to get the handset replaced or going to wait untill a new firmwear sorts out the freezing bug?
thanks

Ive just got myself a w810i on o2 UK running firmware R4CE012.
Has anyone noticed once the camera flash has been on about 10 seconds it starts flashing? Is this normal? Seams kinda annoying to me maybe its a bug. The k750/w810 doesnt do it and thats similar brightness.
Also as for standby mode there is no clock like other se models.
As for rds mine works fine

The time shows during standby mode. In standby mode (screen black), press the "walkman" key and it will lit up the time.

try doing a master reset and see if the flash problem goes away. back-up the files stored on your phone first. also, take out the memory stick before doing a master reset.
Posted by jnnyrocket
Yah mine does it but only when video recording. Same firmware
Posted by jnnyrocket
Also moving pictures in the file explorer does not work.
Posted by kabukijep
wth it took forever to release this w800 upgrade and small things like these still abound?
anyways, davinci has CHINA flashes up fer ya'll here
enjoy boys and girls
Posted by kabukijep
by the way, has anyone around gotten their phone with CHINA or TAIWAN or APAC firmware? can anyone confirm if multicharacter searching is present? K750 and W800 can, since R1A
Posted by Mr Miyagi
mines is R4CE012 and its on the t mobile network, currently t mobile are having trouble sending pics and recivin, pics, for those who have the latest sony ericsson handsets, i got dat confirmed by tmob today they lookin into it tho. cuz sending and recevin pics is not a handset issue right? it'l be a network issue?
Posted by jmcomms
I've had the LED problem where the light starts flashing.
The camera will also exit as soon as you take a photo, or on the odd occasion will stick on the 'saving' part, forcing a reboot (and the photo will be lost).
Apart from these camera issues, I've not experienced any other problems on the phone. In fact, I think the W810i is the best SE I've used/owned in a long time.
I do wish the web browser was like the one on the K610i though, allowing landscape mode and keypad shortcuts (rather like Opera). The anti-aliased font would be nice too, but you can't have everything I suppose.
Posted by kabukijep
so far we've confirmed that the flash bug persists in version R4CF002; that's pretty much everything everyone's been complaining about so far. anyone else noticed annoyances/bugs? how about the renegade animations that's just all over w550i? did it carry over here?
Posted by scapevlocity
camera's LED problem: yes
multi-character search (contacts) : yes
file manager: no matter which category you're viewing (memory stick/phone), when you ask for the info. regarding memory consumption it always reports the same thing for each one, as if reporting the total memory consumption for each filetype.
photos: yellowish hues
screen: a bit oversaturated.
FW: china, R4CF002

bump!
no other issues yet? or news of new firmware out?
Posted by Mr Miyagi
i don't have a led problem. Only thing with my phone is battery life but i think thats my own fault for not fully charging it properly etc, But i dont mind cuz i charge me phone up each night anyway.
Posted by BUFFBOY
yeh wat is led problem ???
with charging and battery life, just wait for next firmware release, it will improve itself
Posted by kabukijep
One interesting thing to note is that the W810 has bluetooth 2.0 - yet no mention of A2DP. Does this tell us that the actual bluetooth module in the phone is different from that of the K750/W800 (which had 1.2) - and that a firmware update may/may not give it the necessary A2D profile, with
given the right amount of pushing? I mean, why would even bother to upgrade it to BT 2.0 only for the sole purpose of upgrading it (better compatibility with newer phones with BT 2.0 an A2DP? an iffy proposition, imo), if the W810 was posed as a minor upgrade to the W800 in the first place?
Posted by robm4
The L.E.D problem is the light starts to flash on some w810i's after about 10 seconds.
Posted by aldoin
i have the led problem too, not good when you are in dark and want too read something
Posted by wilson479
problems with my two day old w810:
battery cover has got completely jammed on after the first time i fitted it.
as a mobile phone repair technician i strip and rebuild phones all day every day and can say for sure that this is jammed on.
mp3 player is occasionally becomming stuck. it sounds like a scratched cd and freezes up. playing the same track a few minutes later proves the file is not corrupted.
sleep mode clock, i am dissapointed that it is not displayed all the time as i am accustomed to. but i have finally learned that you must push the volume keys to display the time.
also i changed my theme then rebooted the phone and my shortcuts got reset to default.
apart from these things i love this phone to pieces.
i used k750i then w800 then w550 and now w810.
the thing i liked about w550 over this is the stereo sound from phone loud speakers. i was really dissapointed that this was missing from my new w810.

hi ya all, wanted to know about the latest firmware. ive got a w810i on orange in the uk with the firmware version R4CF002 is the latest?, i have the led problem too but it starts to flash after about a minute. And does anyone know a thread where it describes how to debrand for complete nivices.
Posted by MattyGB
How can I check to see which version of software I have on my W810i? The little joystick/star sequence that I used on my K700i doesn't seem to work on the W810i.
Posted by mafiosa786
mattygb, go to settings>favourite and deactivate navi key right and navi key left, and then try the >*<<*<* it should work.
Posted by eolivas
so no reported dropped calls in EMEA??? It's strange that the US networks would have issues, this pretty much rules out a hardware issue...

Nope, that doesn't work. On the final * the screen just reverts back to the desktop again.
I looked at the phone info on PhoneAgent though and it says the software is R4CF00 F002
Is this the latest one? How do you do a software update over the air?

Hope u aint trying to jerk the 'push' buttoon left and right (its not a joystick like the other models....Do the <> sequences with the actual pad)

"Hope u aint trying to jerk the 'push' buttoon left and right (its not a joystick like the other models....Do the <> sequences with the actual pad)"
Yes, I do know the button isn't a joystick, thanks!
Using the navi-keys and the star key, having disabled the left and right navi keys still doesn't bring up a service menu with that formula.
Maybe it's blocked on Orange or something...

i also have the led flashing prob and also when i change my theme the shortcuts are all reset to default
and sinds 4 days ago i got a new prob a very big one

wat country u got this from?
Posted by MattyGB
I notice that the SE software Update Service isn't available on my Orange W810i.
Orange must have disabled it, which is typical for them.
Would I have to go in somewhere and get it upgraded then, when the time comes?
