Oh God I'm getting so tired of the SLOW browsing in Media. I bought a 8 GB memory card and have about 1500 songs, and it takes FOREVER to browse for artist, album etc. It was almost as slow when I had only 1 and 2 GB.
I truly hope that there will come a firmware SOON that will speed this thing up quite a bit!

R1EA030 any idea if your phone is branded? Anyone tried SEUS lately? I'll give it a try tomorrow. Hopefully they've released the new firmware online too.

updated mine to R1EA030.. Generic De-Branded! Feels alot faster!!!!
EDIT1: I have noticed after a full master reset that there are new tones added to it (I Think... Goldie Message, Guitar Message, 10 Days, Kandiman and Subway)
EDIT2: The audio sound does not sound like thin air any more. To me the sound has been improved!
EDIT3: Mega Bass Now Works.

Updated mine to R1EA030. Unbranded phone.
Guys, everyone who has abused w910i till now just shut da f**k up..
1. Media is hell lotta faster. 2gb completely filled m2. No lag like before.
2. Sound quality on headphones is boosted. I was listenin to limp bizkit's rollin and was flabbergasted. It never sounded so rockin. Bass quality is unbelievable now.
3. No sudden switch offs or restarts experienced till now.
4. Picture viewing is changed. Looks cool now.
5. No lag between sound n video while watchin videos.
6. Night mode in camera works way smoother n faster. Camera is sharper i think..maybe..
I'll keep posting all good n bad experiences..till now nothin bad found. Just that loudspeaker still sounds da same..no boostin n no louder..but gives quality..hope this helped..

It's been a long wait but I'm also liking this new firmware.
A lot speedier than the previous one, nice photoswitch animation.
I hope the random resets are gone with this one
edit: network coverage is also improved. in my room, in the middle of the city I always got full gsm or 2 bar 3G. now I get what I have here, full bar of HSDPA

hi there
i been checking on this website for quite some time, i been have same problems with my w910i, since i got it which was 3 months ago to tackle the problem i tried giving it to carphone ware house they couldnt fix it, then i gave it to 3 repair center, after 2 weeks they returned my phone with same firmware (telling me its fixed :S). i still have the same problem and now i proper fed up with 3 tech support and 3. so i have couple of questions regrading the problem so can any plz help me out.
currently my phone is with three they suppose to delivery it back to me today once again they delaying it.
i asked three when the next three compatible firmware is going to be released . they had no answer i asked for replacement they offered me nokia 6500 or se w880 (refurbished) both phones were released time ago which cant be compared with w910i (new firmware version).
according to three , no one has complained to them about bugs in the software/firmware. which i found really hard to believe :S
i have the R1CA029 firmware.
questions:
1. what can i do to solve this problem , coz i no i cant upgrade the firmware since its not compatible with three network, according to three.
2. is the latest firmware (R1EA030) is it compatible with three network ??
3. is there way i can cancel the contract with three with out paying the rest of my contract. coz they are not providing me with good service and the product is faulty.
can some1 please help me out.. i am really getting stressed out with this problem since three takes ages to return my phone and i cant use my 3 simcard on any other phones which makes me phoneless for weeks.
thank you

R1EA030 Firmware Release Confirmed!
The update is actually available online through SUES. Firmware changes are mention above in previous posts.
Hopefully, they can fix the whole speed issue as i'm still finding the W910i to be a little laggy for my liking.
*OMAMA, you can actually convert your phone to an unbranded version and then update through SEUS. Go to davinci website and download their firmware there. I think it's approx $30 AUD. Then just reconfigure internet and sms settings to fit that of your network provider.
It's about time they released the firmware. Anyone know if SE have a firmware site that might give details as to when firmwares are released. I don't think any of us would have known if not for the new phone having R1EA030.
Posted by turboy
Yep, just updated to R1EA030:
- Definately faster all round
- The Equalizer now stays on your manual settings permenantly. (Yay!)
- Photos smoothly scroll to the next pic (as was shown on the original K850i video
- Faster loading of Mem Card files
- Putting a photo as wallpaper is now very high quality
If there is something you want me to test, just let me know.
T.

One problem still occurs after the R1EA030 Update.
That is when music player is running in background, phone is slowed considerably. Not sure what is wrong with this phone as it has a pretty spec'd processor lol.

Hey guys,
I have updated my W910i to the new firmware and I am in the process of running the java benchmarks;
I'l update the first post shortly...
Posted by gaur101guy
@lxalus
Dont know any such site dude which'll give predictions of release date of a firmware.
But i can tell u we still would've known bout da new firmware widout anyone buyin a new phone. Coz some ppl like me get errors on SEUS..so i went to SE service centre where they did it for free in half n hour..nd ya, they dont use SEUS..
Posted by KopStar
Guys,
I have now updated the first post with detailed of the new firmware;
Please PM me with any verifiable changes and bugs you find...
Cheers...

I think the update is, as yet, unavailable for Vodafone users. That's ok for me though as I have very few problems.
However, SEUS does say "Update not available", but I'm not sure what to take away from that. It could mean it is being prepared for updating as we speak. I'll keep trying over the next few days.
Funny that the K850i and W910i got their updates at once, and they seem to fix the exact same things! It just goes to show SE is well aware of their problems.

"The W910i Walkman® phone was awarded Best Handset at the GSM Association’s 13th Global Mobile Awards 2008."
jst saw this at the SE website!! hmmm...
Posted by ZeusII
well, first reboot this morning.
switching from photo mode to video mode in the camera, and then back to photo mode caused a reboot.
can't reproduce it again, I think is totally random... SONYYYYY ¬_¬

The new firmware has also fixed:
Mega Bass on loudspeaker.
In the last firmware it was that bassy that it became distorted. This issue has now been sorted

Hello everyone,
I need an advice. My W910i is from an italian operator TIM (I am from Czech Republic). There seems to be no "branding" as such (no wallpapers, ringtones, default bookmarks etc. connected with the operator). However, for some reason, my SUSE says that my R1CA029 is the latest available firmware and refuses to update my phone.
Recently, the restart bug has started to occur and the phone restarts every 10 seconds - therefore it is unusable.
I would appreciate any advice on how to force my phone to update. Thank you very much in advance.

I have R1CA039 unbranded (live in Sweden), and I still get the "No Update Available" screen. This is so annoying
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
A bug has just been found in the K850i firmware that was released at the same time. It's in media player, where if you have a theme which customises the look of the media player and you set media player to landscape mode, it screws up and goes black and white.
I haven't seen it myself as I have a W910i which can't be updated yet, but I was hoping someone would check this on their W910i to see if it's there?
Thanks.

Done. Set 'Hidden Peak' as the theme and flipped into landscape and it's fine.
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Does Hidden Peak customise the media player? I guess media player for us W910i owners is the Walkman player which has slightly different software, so I guess SE got it right for us.
Thanks for that mate.

@muhummad oli
Yes..it's a similar bug..if u turn it into landscape, it does screw up..it doesn't become black n white but..it does screw up da actual background..
Like..for example if i'm using da soundscape theme and i turn it landscape, da background becomes plain pink..
Wel, another bug dat i found was this..
Whenever i plug in earphone or charger da keypad light keeps blinking for more dan 10-15 mins..while this is going on, if backlight turns dim, it remains dim..till da keypad is blinking..
To stop this u hav to press walkman key so dat keypad turns orange and blinking stops..
No other way to stop it..not even when u slide..bit irritating..

I've just updated my phone to r1ea030 (Strange that I bought the phone yesterday and it came with the release firmware), no problems yet, does seem a bit faster. Then again since I only used it for a day before I installed the new firmware I dodn't really have any time to see the problems. Hopefully this phone works much better than the piece of junk k610 it replaces.
Posted by koao
I still have problems with video.
It's still not in sync.

I recently debranded and updated my W910i with Davinci. Now my firmware is R1CA039. I noticed that when I plug in the MPS-70 speakers to my mobile, the sound of them is lower and the quality of the music is also poorer than the loudspeaker of my mobile when it is supposed to be the opposite. Is this also a bug"? Did anyone have the same problem?
I'll try to update to the new firmware with SEUS, I hope is available and fixes this "bug".
Posted by diabu
can anyone please help me: where can i download the original sounscape and hidden peak themes? i lost mine when i did MASTER RESET - RESET ALL.
. also my eclipse theme is not in fullscreen.. is this normal??
Posted by not_me
My themes soundscape/eclipse have always had black bars on the top and bottom, though I don't think it is meant that way, I would want to see that fixed, I also ask myself what was meant with "wallpaper bug fixed" in the latest firmware fixes list.
When I start media menu it has a defined background colour/picture, but when using auto-rotate feature in media menu, it switches to a different color depending on the theme, even the menu background picture disappears with one theme "musaic" the main menu background changes from black to brown, in "colourite" the menu background goes white, ....
I have R1EA030, and my pictures still have a green tint
on the edges !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![ This Message was edited by: not_me on 2008-02-23 10:54 ]

Enjoy!!

What annoys me about the above site is that the downloads are in a .rar file! What the hell? Why not the universally used .zip file? Or just straight .thm file downloads? Annoying!
Posted by not_me
I just realised that the theme is always resetting itself to the walkman thm everytime I connect the phone to the computer, R1EA030
Posted by roffe99
Yesterday I updated my phone to the new release, everything whent fine but when I restarted my phone it still says that I have the old firmware. I can't find anything changed on the phone either.
I did the update once again and now the computer says that my phone allready has the new firmware. I installed it again anyway and when I switch on my phone I still don't got the new firmware???
Anyone knows what this is all about? I unbranded my phone a couple of months ago using daVinci.
Posted by KopStar
I need a guinea pig to test a bug and you get a cool theme in to the bargain!
I have just made a theme, but when loading it seems to corrupt the media player; the text on the media menu seems to be black with a white shadow and in the walkman player the text is black... same as the background...
Any takers, just PM me..
Cheers!
Posted by gaur101guy
No one experienced the key pad light blinking bug? The one which i've mentioned before in this thread..
Posted by diabu
@gaur101guy
thnx for the link man.. but i think the soundscape theme isn't the original one coz it doesnt have the Flash menu in it-well it has the wallpaper moving from side to side but when u press menu it jst the ordinary menu- no flash menu enabled..
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
@diabu: Thats because the flash menus are not part of the theme. They are embedded into the phone software somewhere, and they must have been lost when you reset it. All the theme does is activate the correct flash menu, if it exists on the phone.
Posted by diabu
@muhummad-oli
oh i see.. tnx man- but the eclipse theme works fine though..
anyway do you have any idea how will i reactivate flash menus?..
Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Hmm, i'm not too sure, I was told this only a few days ago because I was asking about it too. If you ask around, somebody can tell you. It has something to do with finding the correct flash files and putting them on the phone. Sorry I can't help you any further mate!
Posted by diabu
ok i'll try ask somewher else.. tnx man.. anyway im cool for now with the eclipse and walkman theme.. and with the good quality sound of w901i restored with the latest FW- that ok! for now.. tnx!
