Got latest firmware, experienced a restart today. This was when playing through a track. But phone operation is fine, abit slow when playing music and sending a text.

But not really noticable. Just waiting for this phone to support XS++ so I can get some decent themes.

Me too getting missing backrounds when media is landscape...:
Have you found any way to fix this..?
Also update the bugs of R1EA30
- Phone responsiveness diminishes when Media Player/Walkman is played in the background
- Theme changes back to default if the theme is not saved in memory card [M2]
- Auto reboot occurs when user uses the phone too intensively. [Eg. Pushing the phone processing power to the limits]
- Sleep mode clock bug still not fixed
- Adding a theme that customises the Media Player causes the background to turn black if rotated into Landscape mode. This did not occur in previous firmwares.
- Java applications that use an Internet connection no longer display the internet connection icon when connected.
- Folder quick search no longer works correctly in sub folders.

Is this the little G or E icon you mean or the globe?

Posted by Vita2U
Think it's the G isn't it? Globe is the internet.

i need ur help guys! when ever i connect my phone to my pc, my computer doesnt recognize it- but still my phone will go to mass storage mode and even charging..

Posted by diabu
PHONE MODE and MEDIA TRANSFER MODE works fine though but when i use MASS STORAGE MODE my computer says USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED/ HAS MALFUNTIONED...

anyone pls help.. tnx


Posted by Vita2U
Try a different USB port?

If that doesn't work, right click my computer > then click device manager > click view > show all hidden devices

Look for your phone and reinstall the drivers.

Could fix the problem.

Posted by Jaax
Diabu, I get the same error messages but then the mass storage works perfectly.

Posted by diabu
ok i'll try those, thanks..
-but where will i get phone drivers?

right now im using the m2 card reader to transfer music files for my phone

Posted by cyenid
I also have the problem that i can't update to the latest firmware, SE's update software says that i have the latest firmware.

Has anybody seen a fix for that?

Can't update firmware from R1CA039 to R1EA030 for w910i

Guys,

I bought an unbranded w910i off the shelf which was preloaded with the R1CA039 firmware. Reading up on the new firmware (R1EA030) which offers significant speed improved I tried to update it both through the SEUS and the inbuilt phone update service but it keeps telling me my phone software is up to date. Is there any manual mechanism of loading the new firmware or any other way to make SEUS recognize that my firmware is not up-to-date.

I've seen some other people are experiencing similar problems with unbranded/debranded w910i phones. Has anyone had any luck with Sony Ericsson support? I haven't.

Ideas and suggestions will be more than welcomed.

Cheers,

got similar probs , using r1da038 branded orange w 910i
crackling bass, restarts , lost the big clock , original fw was 029 sorry I upgraded to 038, battery life is poor also
does the master reset do anything to the fw like take it back to the original ??

Why dont you update to R1EA030?

And if you cant update, that means you need to "debrand" it with DavinciTeam software, im gonna wait for the C++ version to be release though, because it is free!!!!

Nope, i tried master reset, and it only deletes all profiles, contacts, and other settings etc. you are still stuck with the same fw

I think the only way is to debrand, it sucks, but no other choice. Next time you should wait to see fw notes and bugs before updating.

the animation what i mean is check when u enter into the organiser. filemanger,applications,video call,calender will be falling downwards one by one. this animation is working with the new firmware on k850i

Hello, I just bought an unbranded O2 w910 and I was wondering are there any problems with updating firmware for unlocked phones?

All replies much appreciated!

Welcome f.b

I don't think there should be a problem with unbranded/unlocked firmware updates with this phone. Some people have reported problems, but I think a reflash is in order for them.

Posted by f.b
Thank you very much for your quick reply. I also think there should not be a problem, but since updating firmware is still a bit tricky, and since I just got this phone, you can understand my concern.

Anyways, think I'll just wait a few more days to enjoy it, and then update

Posted by Stajlerboy
I have a problem with the latest firmware and that are that the phone restarts it self and it says insert sim. But that only happens if I have the phone in my jacket. Because when I have it in my jeans it rarely happens.. Really strange.

LOL!!!! Maybe you have some sort of magnetic device in you jacket that affects the phone? Well you should just leave the phone in your jeans, if problem persists, see your doctor (joking).

I got fw R1EA030, and when i enter file manager, all icons appear at once with no sort of animation.

However im not quite sure what animation your talking about since i started using my phone with only fw R1EA030, and did not use other fw before.

Posted by Vita2U
Don't remember any animation with previous firmwares.

Sorry if this it OT, please delete the post if it it, but I didn't want to start a new topic. I've read through and there seems to be a few problems with this phone, but I love how it looks and really want to buy one.

My question being, since you all already have one, would you recommend it? Or should I look for a different phone.

Thanks.

I assume you are talking about the W910i, yes i have had this phone for about a month now, and am very satisfied with it. I would highly recommend it!!!!!

i think u also taking abt the same. when u enter into the filemanager all icons appear at the same time not one element falling after other(we can observe this animation when u enter into the organiser menu,games menu,settings menu, which is present in t old f/w R1CA039 ).
but the same animation is removed in somany places like filemanager,contacts, etc.
this animation is is present in all other SE phones.

but this kinda animation is unique SE phones, since its a high end phone why they removed such nice cool animation.

so i can conform that the file manager animation is removd in R1EA030 f/w,

kopstar : my be it can be added/updated to the modification/bug list of the first page. so that SE can notice it.

another bug i observed.

-when last call cost appears in the display till you acknowledge the message no new message tone will be played. as soon as acknowledge the last call cost message then the phone will play the message tone and show ur incoming message.
this is observed in k850i also.
kopstar: may be this can also be updated in the bug list of front page

Yes. I really do like the look of it but all the user reviews seem to state problem after problem, with some people having 6 new phones in the space of a few months.

So I'm undecided as to whether I should actually buy the w910i

I think if you were to get one from the newer batch, and also get new firmware, then it should work fine. Because i have had no issues yet.

I read somewhere you can check the date on when the phone was manufactured via checking behind or above the battery slot.

Posted by Muhammad-Oli
Yep, I posted this quite a few times in the W910i discussion thread. If you get a newer W910i, you should not have any problems because SE have fixed most of the problems!

Finding the manufacturing date is pretty simple really. Ask the salesman to let you look behind the battery. Somewhere on the phone at the top right of the info written behind the battery, you should see the date it was made. Now the date is written like this:

07W50

This means 2007, week 50. So it was made in week 50 of last year (halfway through December). To be safe, I'd say go for one made after 07W48, and if possible sometime in 2008 (eg. 08W09). Mine is an 08W02 version, so its quite recent and I have no problems at all!

Good luck!

Posted by Lyceum
Thanks for the replies. I'll look for a newly made one then. Hopefully I'll have no problems.
