So what do i do now..!! any other way
Posted by nabu28
Download the update-service-program located on the SE web-page to your pc, and try that .
Posted by dipen01
I installed UPDATE SERVICE from the Software CD..
When i run the program it contacted Sony Server...and downloaded some updates..!!
and then while auto executing...
it shows this error
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
So how do i update my firmware..and is there any special care to be taken while doin it.??

Hi!
After updating to R4EA031 I'm having lots of trouble with my memory stick. Exept from a backup of the phonebook, I've only got mp3's on it. Often when I change track, I get a reading error. Sometimes no sound at all for seconds, and then a long sharp sound, sometimes just the tone.
Never had any trouble like that (maybe a few times) before updating.
I've tried formatting the card seceral times, but it hasn't changed a thing.
Also tried another card - same thing.
Any one else with this problem??
Tinking about trying to reflash the fw again.

Ok I've got a situation with my W810; more of an inquiry actually.
If my device has been unlocked or unbranded with a service; not Wotan the other popular one. Why would I have information of my MSDuoPro with 3 text files; one specifically stating what firmware my W810 has??
Should I be careful with upgrading?
Posted by Prom1
ok; I selected English USA & United Kingdom and my phone is UP TO DATE; according to SEUS v2.6.4.9.
the files on my W810 memory card are ...
CDAInfo which contains:
//This is content information for the CDA file CDA102428/106 R1A - 1Gb Generic MS
//Generated by Fredrik Johansson

I even tried SEUS without MSDuoPro installed.

nabu !
you should do a master reset. (dont forget to save important data before)

I just checked and realized the R4EA031 update set my startup screen to Soundwave.jpg
I changed it back to the default and it's all good now
Posted by radicalgel
hey guys,
im new here. just thought id share some of my concerns acout the new firmware (R4EA031).
1) graphical issue with the new events menu
2) hardly any diffenence between the bass and megabass preset (when listening thgrough the HPM70 earphones)
3) audio player quality deteriorated
4) audio player volume reduced
Is anyone else having any of the problems mentioned above?
Frankly im really disappointed with the new firmware and would like to switch back to the previous FW (R4DB005) but i dont think this is possible. Im just hoping that sony has been informed of these issues and they will be rectified in the next firmware.

Is it just me or the R4DB005 is a step back speaking about the camera, because I have noticed that comparing it to the R4CK003 the videos are more pixelated and the pictures have lost sharpness.
What do you think??

Doesn't it cost to use wotanserver?

Damned glad I bought my W810 unbranded
I will have to do do with all future mobile phone purchases, it seems. (Until I start my own European-style GSM carrier, anyway!)
Posted by JAGUY85
I haven't seen much change but yes I do realize that there is hardly a difference between Bass and MegaBass.
One change I saw too was when you send codes to your provider and you get a message back...it no longer scrolls up and down the message is in it's own window.
Posted by kenjibatusai
I have upgraded to R4DB005 and I just noticed something annoying (well for me)
With R4CK003 the profiles were different because you were able to switch or edit them, and I remember that when I connected the handsfree to the phone it changed from "normal" to "handsfree" with icon change and separate settings.
But now it just enables the handsfree icon and it continues in the "normal" one and if I change a setting like muting or something it just changes in normal; because if i want a different one I have to select it manually

How do i get v live of my W810i
Posted by Anatolik
nabu28:
I've got the same problems too with last firmware.
BUT - i never got it with MP3,
when i've started to use AAC(m4a) from iTunes 7.0 they appeared -- i'm encoding to 128 Stereo VBR.
382Mhz:
Master reset and card formatting didn't helped.
The BUG IS:
when playing song - at some time silence appears but playback goes on.
Switch to next track make walkman jump to next and next.
If to press Stop and then Play -- Walkman says -- "Cannot play file" (my SE interface language is russian, but the meaning is the same).
Reboot phone - playback works .... for 20-30 mins and then again.
I'm now testing NERO AAC encoder and CD-DA extractor (which has codecs from Coding Technologies, which developed aacPlus)
[ This Message was edited by: Anatolik on 2006-10-13 09:55 ]
Posted by Anatolik
I've made tests whole day and find out next:
tracks encoded to AAC by iTunes 7.0 makes Walkman to loose its mind and stop working correctly.
The bugs appears after 10-25 min of playback.
AAC tracks encoded via Nero Digital Encoder and Coding Technologies codecs (ones with Easy CD-DA Extractor) played for hours without any problem.
If someone could do the same test to be sure, it'll be great.
p.s. Hope it helps to someone.

@ kenjibatusai
I've had nothing but R4BD005 and don't not have the problem you described. I have two wired headsets (HPM-70, HPM-82) and two
ones (Jabra JX10, SP500). All activate the "Handsfree" profile when connected, and revert to the prior profile when disconnected.
Check the Accessories list in the Handsfree profile on your phone. One of the entries should be "Portable h-free," which refers to the
wired headsets.

well it doesn't look like i could see my software version...i tried the menu>settings>general but there is no update service. does that mean that the phone is locked or something? i didn't know suncom locks phones...let me know if anyone has any info on this. thanks!
Posted by fastbike
Here's a bug that I find with R4DB005 (UK Orange branded),
- don't think I've read about it elsewhere (so is it just me ?):
Playing an .M4A music file, if I pause the music then re-start it, sometimes the stereo image seems to go off to one side. It keeps playing, just sounds really weird. Pausing it again sometimes fixes it.
Anyone else get this ?
- Steve
Posted by drdeepankar
Upgraded to R4EA031 yesterday. Battery cover was stuck, so couldn't take out the sim before update
Went ahead, upgraded without any faults. Post update, haven't really noticed any flaws from previous version R4CK003. Still haven't really found bout the longer batt life. High volumes in the Walkman r still sufficiently high to make me listen at 'bout 50% volume for majority songs. Will try out the AAC incompatibility thingy. Walkman is not skipping any songs, till now (3-4 hrs' use). SO far, So good 
Oh, n yes, had prob with auto-switching from normal to handsfree on plugging HPM 70 as mentioned by kenjibatusai on 2006-10-13, restarted the phone once, n voila! it wass back to as it should be

Thanks everything worked well after I did a "Settings Reset"
Posted by danska
I had the same problem with aac files with the newest firmware. That and i wasn't happy with the bass. I went back to the previous firmware and it solved the issue. Next time i will wait a few days to make sure nothing is wrong with it.

My phone doesnt go to Handsfree profile when I turn on my HBH-GV435. It stays on whatever profile I have it on. Mine doesnt do it, so I'm on same boat as Kenjibatusai
What country is your firmware? Mine is China I believe.

Posted by dalevil
hope that next update is that an option we can use bluetooth to connect to the PC Internet connection like the K800
Posted by JAGUY85
@ Blade Runner. What settings did you use to get OTA update to work?
This message was posted from a 6230
Posted by Blade Runner
Just working gprs acount, there are no settings or at least no user configurable, just go to menu > settings > update service > search for update
Posted by JAGUY85
OH yeah. I forgot that. Was mixing it up with the K750.
This message was posted from a W810i
Posted by Prom1
Hmm... Missing the joystick of the K750 so much. It was so precise, as in multiple strokes on it to fly through menus ( though keypad shortcuts are ok ) and especially gaming (fighting games).
> Bothered that my W810 wont update wirelessly (yes my gprs wap/port 80 accounts work), or over USB. Not that I want the new firmware I just want to see it be recognized.
MAN I love this W810 loaded so many games and I only have 3MB of memory left on the phone.
Posted by JAGUY85
@Prom1. Are you in Jamaica? Yeah, I miss the joystick too. Prefer it to this D pad.
This message was posted from a 6230
Posted by Prom1
@JAGUY85, hehe no I live in Toronto, Canada.
I used to visit Jamaica every your for 16yrs since I was born the same time period ago. (33). My family is from and many still live in Montego/Sandy Bay, Jamaica.
My Great Uncle I think was Prime Minister for just under 2mths back in '67. Family is very big, so big its hard to track 26+ Uncle's.
I just did a mindless act in transfering music via the Disc2Phone software. I forgot to send it to the Memory Stick. Duh, thats why I was down to 3MB of phone memory.
Hey has anyone played Age of Empires? I love this game. I spent 16hrs playing it to finish while listening to music on a 87% charge. I still had 16% left!
INCREDIBLE!! This W810 has lived up to my expectations set by my T39m for battery life. Of course the T39m only had Erix as a game and couldnt do music playback.
Posted by Blade Runner
Phone no longer charge battery when connected to a PC via USB cable in "phone" mode, only in "flash disk" mode, this is something like K800 but latter have an option in menu, W810 doesn't.
Very strange no one discovered this one yet, makes me wonder
Posted by raf
That is very strange, Blade Runner! My w810i charge in both modes and my firmware is R4EA031.

Could anyone help me out on how i could go back to the older software? same problem with the mega bass.

Do any of you have the hissing noise on your W810?
My W800 got wet so I need a new phone. Used FAR to remove the hissing noise from my W800…
Thanks...
Posted by Siosal
I'm using R4EA031 and don't have any hissing at all. I have put the thing through every test, and even given it to my friends to listen for and noone can hear any hiss.
So no... I don't.

Hello to everyone!
I had a problem updating to the newer software some time ago. The problem was that I had stucked with the FW R4CE012, it was impossible to update to the latest FW at that time - the R4DB..
Now, when the R4EA came out, I tried again - and finally mnaged to update to the latest - R4EA FW without any trouble.
My observations - hardly any difference in every aspect, compared to R4CE.. I hoped the earphone's speaker volume would be increased, but no, the volume level is the same as before. As mny have noticed - there is hardly any difference between 'bass' and 'mega bass' presets.. I listen only to the mp3s, so there is no problems with playback so far..
It seems that the phone has become a bit faster, but not significally. It will be a bit diffucult to explain this, but one thing I have noticed - the menu animation or transition has been disabled in some 'places'.. for example - when 'file manager' is opened, you see such folders like 'Pictures', 'Videos' and others and when you navigate through the items, the highlited line kind of slides from one item to another.. but when you go further, e.g. open a 'Sounds' folder, the sliding animation is gone. the highlited line just jumps from one folder to another.. The same problem is with the 'contacts' - the animation is gone.. Try this on your w810 and let me know if you have the same problem.. Maybe this is done to increase the browsing speed in contacts and file manager folders, don't know.. Everywhere else the navigation is still 'sliding'..
About the battery performance - haven't had time yet to test this, but as far it doesnt seem to be improved..
