Rob-D,
I have the same issue with the sliding menu and I'm still on R4DB005. I only have the sliding highlight on the Main Menu and the top level of the File Manager, everything else is just a "jump" not a "slide".
Personally though, I don't really care. Sure I like the slide better aesthetically, but the jump is marginally quicker and I guess I prefer the speed as I am only using their interface to view MY DATA (photos, audio, contacts etc.) and not for their animations.

@rhett
in a way ur right butthe animations in Nseries r pretty good nd fast
i think both the fws r a waste...still havin R4BD005 will update on a better 1
R4BD IS BETTER THAN R4EA

Must correct this one, everything is OK, I was testing on a PC without installed W810i modem driver, once installed phone charges in all modes.
Sorry, my mistake

Thanks Siosal...
Think my new phone is gonna be a W810i!
Posted by jepherberich
@Kristoffer neither mine (W810) does, but some people around here complain of hissing on theirs. i dunno if those're naysayers jumping on the omfg the w800 hissed and now the w810 hisses too omfg the w810 sucks FAR cant support it omfg bandwagon; i have yet to personally come across a W810 that hisses. so there, some warning
@Rob-D it's always been like that since R4CE. I crudely recall my W600 doing the same thing-animations in places and none in others
Posted by Kristoffer
@axilom. Had the hissing on my w800 but had it removed with FAR. Just gonna hope I get a w810 with no hiss – think it is a nice phone. To bad that FAR doesn’t support the w810. Thanks any way

Wonder if it possible to flash my w810i to swedish language for free.. or do i have to use ex divinci and pay for it?

I'm having the camera problem. A month ago I was taking pics, no problem. I was on the phone with them and they had me try everything, nothing worked so I had to send the phone in for service. Before I sent it in, I did a master reset all and lost my themes (expect for the walkman one). When I sent it in, I believe they reflashed it and from what the work order said, they replaced some part. Now, it doesn't take any pictures. Let me explain. When I go into the camera app, either though the menu or click and hold the shutter button and try to take a pic, it says "saving" for about a half a second and then bumps me out to the main menu or standby mode. No matter what settings I change (phone memory or Memory stick) it still fails. The odd thing is that when I change to panoramic or frames, it does take the picture fine. Also, video works fine. Again, I tried to reset (user) as some people that worked for them, but no go. I also tried to reset all which didn't work either. Now I lost my themes which I'm not happy about. I am a US customer with a unbranded SE W810i running software ver: CXC1250317 and FW: R4EA031. Thoughts?
Posted by REO
R4EA031
At times I get warning beeps to end call when other party hangs up.
Also when activating camera, the camera buton flashes for about 5 seconds.
Are theses bugs? Or is this normal?

Hey I just tried using SEUS to update my firmware and now my phone will not turn on... all it does at one time was blink/flash a white screen.... is it broke already? I followed the onscreen instructions turn off, removed sim, reinsert batt, press and hold C then insert usb cable... everything went find up until it detected W810i APAC then it tried downloading the files then it stated "do not touch the phone" then it would stop and comeback to the first screen on SEUS
Posted by JAGUY85
@REO. I don't think the flashing camera button is a bug.
This message was posted from a W810i
Posted by slackerpunk
well anyway I was able to reflash my phone using wotanserver.com and it was fast and nothing too much to do... only paid $9 USD local repair shops tried to ask around $20
Posted by slackerpunk
anyone know the cam driver and acoustic driver for the new firmware? same as everyone the megabass does not have any difference with the bass setting...
Posted by rhett121
Has anyone tried out the NEWEST firmware for the w810i?
R4ED001
I just saw it today. I thought R4EA031 was the newest but it's not! The only problem is that they don't have America_1 version, they have American_2 though.
I found it on the SEUniverse FTP site, anybody know the story?
Posted by Spindizzy
You know I am still using R4CK003 as I have never been able to get my phone to update over the air. I read alot about SEUS but most of it is about how people's phones have gone dead afterwords. What is the deal with this? Is there a safe and free way to update and if so what firmware should I be looking for?
Mine came unlocked and unbranded directly from SonyEricsson in the States and it is running software version CXC1250316, R4CK003.
Posted by rhett121
It took several tries but I finally got SEUS to work and it actually installed an OLDER firmware on my phone. I used DaVinci to fix it and update the firmware and uninstalled all of that SE crap from my computer never to be used again.
Unfortunately SEUS is the ONLY way to do it for free, and there's a reason it's free... it's JUNK!
Why does it cost so much to get a divorce? Because it's worth it!
Posted by slackerpunk
you tell me i tried using SEUS recently and all it gave me was a flashing white screen... I used wotanserver to update to the R4E firmware APAC and wallah my phone is working now.. I removed all the SE software crap from my computer all I wanted was update my firmware because my radio was not..
back to topic: anyone tried the new FW?
Posted by kulorex
@Spindizzy
If ur firmware is serving u right, then stick to it.
I have the same firmware as u. I'm content with it so far. Haven't found a single problem with it so far (no hissing, led-bug, contact picture, mega base etc.) Nothing! All seems working well for me!
I have a w800 also with R1aa. I've been using it for about a year now and i'm very content with it.
Remember, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'.
Posted by harry23419
guys plz forget R4EA has ne 1 updated to the new version
wat r the improvements
R4EA is a failure

Hey guys Good News!!!!!!!
The Mega Bass Problem is fixed in the FW R4EA031 of W810i!! so enjoy!!!!!
Posted by DV
Hurray W810i's Mega Bass is back!!!! All you need to do is open SEUS do all routine procedures and atlast when it asks "you have the latest software, continue anyway?" click yes/ok and reload the same FW your bass problem will be fixed and one more thing I have noticed is when you play video files in walkman player and if you try FF or RW the current clip it skips to next clip. Thats it for now.
Posted by slackerpunk
anything else new with the new firmware?
Posted by DV
Nothing new Slacker but just before few hours one more thing observed by me is that the battery is still improved a bit even after playing lot of songs and calls. I will try to give my feedback daily if possible ok cheers!!
Posted by DV
And one more thing this isn't a new FW but SEUS has updated few bugging files in the existing FW itself and thats the reason why I mentioned that you should click continue button when SEUS software says "You already have the latest software" ok!! Hey guys even you share your observations ab out this FW and post it daily bye!!!
Posted by slackerpunk
Hey DV what version of SEUS are you using.. last time I used it it f*cked up my phone and I had to reflash it. where did you get the copy you used?

Posted by Spindizzy
@Kulorex
Yeah, you're really right. I only have one complaint and that is that my phone often times rearranges appointments that I have set in the calendar. I believe this happens at times when I've been using the Walkman and for whatever reason it seizes up and then goes to white screen and then turns back on. It is after this restart of the phone that I find many appointments moved to different days and instead of the original time setting it will say All Day. I've missed a couple dentist appointments and others this way. Terribly annoying and makes me look like a flake. Ha Ha! Other than though I love the hell out of my bitchin W810.

I can confirm the Hurray of DV. I just updated the firmware (R4EA) again and Voilá, The Mega Bass Is Back!!
Posted by wap123
yea mega bass seems to b back
Posted by Greffel
Mmmmmmmmega bass is back, nice tip mate, thanks. Now they could give the audio a little more volume boost and all would be perfect regarding the audio part
Posted by wap123
true
Posted by rhett121
Are you guys using R4EA031 or the newer R4ED001 to get back megabass?
Posted by slackerpunk
what version of SEUS are you guys using I'm quite hesitant to update for the megabass because the last time I used that software it gave me the "white screen of death"
Posted by Greffel
The firmware I had was R4EA031 and I just "reinstalled" the same firmware and got MEGAbass back. Sonysoftware is: Update Service Version 2.6.11.7
Really nice to have it back

Wait a min did you say newer FW R4ED001??? Is that on SEUS now??? ok let me check.
Posted by DV
Hey guys I have noticed one thing more playing walkman that is if you put your phone on full volume while playing a song p utting it on equalizer setting on Mega Bass with HPM-70 earphones the bass will be comparitively less and treble will be more compared to putting it on volume level less than 7 1/2 or full ie not more than 7. got my point??? so if you want to hear more bass then listen to a volume level 7and not more than that.
Posted by Spindizzy
@DV
Read your quote regarding safely using SEUS. thanks for the tips.

Not on SEUS, I saw it on SEuniverse.com's ftp server (in the sonyericsson_files directory) That is what DaVinci uses for it's updates. There were a BUNCH of them:
W810_R4ED001_FS_America2.DVT
W810_R4ED001_FS_Apac.DVT
W810_R4ED001_FS_Baltic.DVT
W810_R4ED001_FS_C_Asia.DVT
W810_R4ED001_FS_China.DVT
W810_R4ED001_FS_Europe2.DVT
W810_R4ED001_FS_Europe3.DVT
W810_R4ED001_FS_Europe4.DVT
W810_R4ED001_FS_Hong Kong.DVT
W810_R4ED001_FS_M_East_N_Afr.DVT
W810_R4ED001_FS_S_Asia_Levan.DVT
but no America_1 (which is what I was looking for)
Posted by Spindizzy
What would be the difference of America 1 and 2?
Posted by slackerpunk
I see they have APAC there wooohooo.. I hope wotanserver updates soon
Posted by rhett121
AMERICA1: American English, Canadian French, Latin American Spanish
AMERICA2: American English, Brazilian Portugese, Latin American Spanish
Not a huge deal but it's what I have installed currently so it would be easier to just update the firmware rather than update the region code AND the firmware. (if they don't match, SEUS and OTA updates won't work in the future)
Posted by harry23419
has ne 1 updated to R4ED001
plz let me know the changes
Posted by danielcps
The main file is R4EA031. For the FS is R4ED001. This is not new firmware. Everyone have R4EA031 pls check on ur Customization.
below is mine Customization look like.
Customization
CDA 102555/101 R1A
CXC 1250324 R4ED001
APAC
Hope to make this clear for everyone.
Posted by rhett121
AAAH! Now I see, it's just the File System Firmware, not the Main Firmware. My bad. I wonder why they changed the format? It seemed a little confusing because the prior Firmware isn't listed like that. Thanks for the clarification. I was hoping to skip the MegaBass killer version if possible.

My plearure spindizzy I will let all you guys know more!!
Am also adding one more thing that I have noticed which is the battery life has improved even more than the precious R4EA FW after reinstalling it. one more tip if you want the Mega ba ss punch more than other frequencies then listen to a volume level not more than 7 (ie dont exceed the volume bar to full or 7 1/2) you will notice that you get more punch of bass.
