Broooo guess what i have exactly the same type of phone as urz mine is black colour and its on t-mobile na di have the exact problem with it the restarting and the red lgiht damn it man mine says week 41 ("07W41") what should i do man i need to solve this problem cuz i love the phone man just this fukin problem that is annoying
Posted by _!GameKing!_
I feel like shouting or even suing or even kicking the crap out of the engineers who built the w910i just because they didnt solve this problem they mustve known about it before they manufactured it so this means that sony ericsson must have a solution but i also phoned them and told them my problem but they told me to go to update service
so back to the fuukin drawing board i just dont get it nearly everyone has this phone and most are getting the same problem there must be a solution to solve this problem once and for all.
(Fuukin shuts down and then vibrates and red lgiht at the back comes on then few seconds later the phone turns on ??? damn it man i hate this problem)
if anyone has a solution to solve this then tell the whole world (first me lol)

just wondering:
is there firmware updates that fix all the problems you guys seem to be having? (crashing/freezing)
and if there is updates,... do they work at all or have SE not actually done anything to fix the problem.
im thinking of buying this phone, and if theres a problem that can be fixed i will get it but if its cant/hasnt been fixed by now i wouldnt bother.
ill go with nokia 6500 slide [black version] if the glitches aren't fixed.
Posted by _!GameKing!_
most people are having this problem and also me, (the restarting bug) but i think until we find a solution to this problem for the w910i then no one should buy it on the other hand the bug only occurs when the phone is pushed to its limits... but other than this the phone is fantastic and i mean it i bought mine for £90 with 1gb m2 memory and charger (2nd hand ofcourse) but very good condition save bout £150 lol even the new ones i heard get the bug after a while or pushing them above there limits but only occur sometimes
at the end of the day there are better phones than the w910i like w960i etc...
Posted by Zacky
what to you mean by pushed to its limits?
how many tasks can be run before it screws up?
or do you mean playing music and sending a text/mms is pushing it?
ill mostly be browsing/messaging and calling with some listening to music, will that make it crash?

well lets put it this way if you have the music player up and then minimize it then play again with music player on it may restart or if ur lucky it wont lol but mine is second hand so it restarts once i play a game lol but if its brand new then it probably will not restart but i suggest u stay on the safe side and wait until there is a solution for this problem

hello guys! any updates on the new fw?

Ok finally I got SEUS to update my swedish "Kent"-branded W910i to the latest firmware.
I can't say the phone is much faster though, or anything else besides the media manager looking a little different.
This phone is still the slowest/laggiest thing I've put my hands on

Can anybody tell me what's the difference between R1EA030 and R1EA033 ?

Not yet, I have found no differences as such. Alough I am pretty sure the icons have changed when you go to file manager.

I don't know I am not a mind reader. If you just try it with SEUS maybe you might get lucky?

Hmmm? R1EC001?? I heard da latest for W910i was R1EA033...
Posted by echobeach
so theres an update for orange branded phones ? will try it in morning once I get it charged up and report back
Posted by HornyNick
Might sound like a silly question, but well.....
my w910 is running on r1ca039, ive had it about a month and the only problem i have is the slowdown in the music menu.
my question is if i upgrade to the latest firmware and i start gettin all these others probs will i be able to down grade back to r1c?
i will only be using seus as i dont trust davinci etc.
thanks.
Posted by piflechien
No, downgrade is not possible with official tools like SEUS.
Posted by gaur101guy
Wow!! What a pathetic service by SE service centre in my city..
I had R1EA030 and thought of upgrading to latest one. I visit the service centre and ask them to do it. When i get my phone back after an hour, and i look for firmware version, it shows me R1CA039. Amazing! I tried explaining that bastard what exactly he has done. But no use..
Thank you sony ericsson..
Very nicely you have DOWNGRADED my phone!! Dumbfucks bloody..
Posted by echobeach
no update for orange on the official site yet
Posted by freestyle
Have you tried SEUS?
That's how i did mine
Posted by ayejatt
Davinci doesnt load up the latest FW to debrand, is it normal??
and also which one should i choose to debrand to Generic for UK?
(i tick generic, nothing comes up in the client)

That's odd.
Maybe it wasn't meant to be on there yet and it's been removed, certainly makes the phone a bit more useable
Posted by echobeach
im currently on FW R1DA038 on orange , that was the last update I got from SEUS , im happy enough apart from losing the big clock and crackly mega bass, I should have stayed with the original FW 029- no real probs there apart from one restart
tried twice today on SEUS and no luck
Posted by not_me
it would be awesome, if they made an update which included all changes made for W760i, like a TV option in the media menu and the possibility to choose between grid, single icon, circle and theme desktop view ! !

it would be even more awesome if they released a firmware which fixed all the faults , I wondered why the guy from carphone warehouse was so keen to get me to take this phone on as my upgrade , he really made it sound so amazing

Just got my w910i today, It's completely unlocked and debranded and according to the service menu it's running R1CA029 firmware. That's not the latest firmware is it?
I tried to update via SEUS this afternoon and it says it's got the latest firmware already.
Any advice on how I can get the latest update on there?
Posted by ShawnX
Hi guys!!!!
How you think, sony ericsson can add new function in new firmware for W910i.
For example new equalizer presets like in W980i or W760i - this is function - "walkman on top 8 visual audio presets"???

Posted by gaur101guy
Finally got R1EA033..
No real differences found..few ones noticed..
-Cam driver is better..video recording isn't wavey now when taken fast..
-Globe appears in internet java apps now..
-No reboots at all in this one btw..actually i experienced them very rarely in all previous firmwares also..i donno how ppl experience it so much..but this one hasn't really rebooted..tried pushing it by playin music, using net, typin texts all at once..
Wat other changes you guys noticed?
Btw..cell seems to respond bit faster while playin music as compared to previous firmwares..but yet it's not satisfactory..should really have worked freely despite of playin music..

Have they fixed he bug where the background disappears in the media menu when the phone is in landscape mode?

No they haven't

This is rediculus, all this firmware and the problems are still NOT fixed! what on earth is SE playing at.

After reading this thread I'm now unsure whether I should buy this phone. I currently have a W800 (had it for 18 months and a bit) and I've just started to get problems with it such as unresponsive joystick and charging (actually its stopped charging now, I have 1% battery left!). So I've decided to get a replacement.
Now since I'm so used to having a reliable phone, I want to ask if getting a W910 is a good idea. My other option is a W890, is that a better choice?
Also, if I buy from O2, what kind of branding will I have? My W800 with Vodafone has absolutely no branding on it and I kind of like it that way.

this f**king phone.
turned it off to put it on charge last night....
and now its bricked its self. it won't plug in to charge( there is no responce ) and then whenthe usb cable goes anywhere near it the left soft key glows red.
so i cant use the update service and so i assume that i can't use the likes davinci team to pull the phone out of it.
(r1da038 t-mobile uk)
edit: forgot to say that i haven't updated or even tried since it came back from repair last. so there is no reason there for it to die.

Place a call with SE. And tell them that you have gathered 200 people who have had enough of problems with their W910i's. Tell them unless they are willing to rectify the problems, "we" are going to bring lawsuit to their front door.

Just got back from t-mobile store and when i said that my erricson was dead they instantly asked me if it was a k850. I said no and that i was a w910i to which they replied "ohh, the next best thing"... how much confidence does that give you.
however she did say that they would probably just end up giving me a brand new handset which i not gonna complain about as there is a long cosmetic scratch down the screen of the phone
But still, i had two weeks of flawless working and then it dies, lush phone when it works, but god it doesn't half go wrong.
Anyone else bricked for no apparent reason?

That's good of them giving you a new phone. But they really need to sort out the issues that currently is there.
Posted by gaur101guy
Well..all guys have been talking about the "lot of" problems you ppl have been facing with w910i..
I'm using this phone since 3 months..had very very rare reboot problems earlier and slow media player problem..also few small issues..
But with the version R1EA030 all my problems were gone..only the rare reboot remained..
But with R1EA033, even the reboot problem has gone..i tried pushing the phone to all possible limits of multitasking..still no reboot..
So basically, according to me i've got very stable and good phone..
I just want to know wat exactly are the problems you guys face..coz it's strange i dont face any and i use the same phone..
I use unbranded w910i..

Here is the low down on my phone. ( or what was - got 16 days till i find out if i get a replacement or repair)
-Build date: 7w43
-Firmware: r1da038 t-mob uk ( they have yet to update to e)
-Memory card : 8gb
-Music total :was 1600 down to 900 at 96kpbs acc+
-Pictures : 1300 ( had 4 files per set of album art though)
-Cam album : 832
-Total crash count since 16dec :76 times 13 self recover the rest needed battery taken out
-Repair count : 4 times. 3 for restarts and 1 for total death (hence it's now gone). Twice this month
-Mega base distorts always when less then two dots below full vol.
-Average battery life (heavy user Walkman on most of the day): 2.5 days. Bearable
- Awful java speeds with low frame rates.
-Back light occasionally stays on indefinitely.
-When ever anything is plugged into the fast port, the keys flash until the Walkman player is activated. Can occasional cause crash.
-Album art is saved in the pictures folder on the file manager. highly irritating.
-"This application uses to much memory"... Fair enough where there are 4-5 applications running, but not after you just turn on and try to go into the main menu!!- Has generated restarts 3 times.
I really can't think of much more, and yes this is all on r1da038.
Feel free to add to this if you want,

Do you connect the phone when the phone is off first? But hold C when it asks you to hold C and let go when it asks you to let go?
