to get to the service menu you use the code that rookwise said. >*<<*<*
where > is right on the d-pad and < is left.
doing this from the home page will bring up the service menu.

well so far it seems that there are two instances that restart my phone
1)deleting a picture using the media engine, then while it says please wait, close using the end key, then using the gaming keys open the latest and then rotate the phone and start scrolling. Works most often - full blown restart.
2) sliding the phone open when the walkman player is on very occasionally causes a SOFT reset (it only goes dim for a few seconds then re-appears - flashing the ram?)
does anyone else find this?
talking about R1FA but it happened on the older ones as well.

@oblivion - tried your method and mine (also R1FA030) doesn't
crash/restart - in fact I haven't experienced a crash at all - unless it does it
when I'm not watching it
Not like my old K850i at all - that would crash if you looked at it wrong !!

http://chinese.engadget.com/photos/sony-ericsson-w910i/277092/
wats defferent about the w910i blck with walkman logo orange / white?
and have u see w910i commercial video?
how can i get that theme?
Posted by tyranusaurus
hey guys, i just noticed sth. how come the W910i doesnt have the active standby screen? (you know, the clock that is shown when the phone is on standby.) i saw my friends' W850i and K800i have it, but why doesnt the W910i have it? i thought since its a newer firmware it should have?
i know u can show the clock by pressing the volume key, but why doesnt it have an option to enable that active standby clock? its a pretty neat feature actually...
Posted by ZeneticX
^ apparently w910 dun hav that feature since the earliest until the latest R1FA fw
@whiteness
that is the early prototype of the w910 black.the prototype have white walkman logo b4 they chged it to orange in the final version.it could be the limited kent edition too,i'm nt sure abt this

Hii .
Does any body have this problem since updating there w910i?
When i press the walkman player button or play a song there is a 3 second delay, where the album cover artist/album/track details do not show up then it does show up and the songs play as normal . I didnt have this problem before. Also does any1 have the problem when some times u play a song it says "FAILED" i have this problem quite alot
Posted by glorfingal
here's an interesting one ... now on r1fa030 and I don't get the connection
icons (gprs, edge or H) the phones' set to 3g/gsm and the k850i sat beside
it using the same provider shows "E" !!!!
Posted by Rookwise
I give up. All the previous problems I was having on the old firmware have now reappeared. These are:
Restarting and the theme resetting to the default Walkman theme.
Bluetooth connection dropping after 3 minutes when on a call (experienced when using a HBH-GV435, HBH-PV700 and HBH-PV705). A major problem for me as I need to use a headset 90% of the time.
Intermittent sound when playing music via bluetooth. As if the music pauses and starts again.
Freezing for a few seconds.
Web browser connects and disconnects when it feels like.
Usually have to connect to accessories manually through the Bluetooth options in the phone so the phone will connect. Phone hardly ever auto connects.
I'll be glad when I get my next phone in a few days time. I had less problems with my K850 than this W910.

uh yeah i mentioned the delay before in a previous post, but i dont have that failed problem tho
@Rookwise
your W910i is a sad case of bad quality control. lol. dont have any of those problems tho, only a few restarts here and there, but no resets, nothing. i nvr even done a master reset before or even a minor reset

@ 10123
that happened to me before, it happened to me wen i played straight off the playlist used in Windows media player, so instead i deleted the windows media player playlists (.m3u) and created a new playlist with my phone.
Posted by tyranusaurus
@KeeF!
lol it happens everytime no matter i play from a playlist or directly from the track list since R1FA. lol.
Posted by tyranusaurus
oh yeah, theres a new playback function in the picture viewer for media organiser.. when u press play for the slideshow u can choose between a few moods and its pretty nice

2 weeks now with R1FA030 and phone is 100% stable. Not a single crash, reboot or anything here... Battery life good. Although my phone wasn't that bad with the restarts/freezes before, It's perfect now... If it continues to be this solid I will be hesitant to upgrade it in the future, as I see nothing that needs improving now with my usage.
Posted by senninha
i've had my W910 for about a week now. upgraded straight to R1FA030 so i guess i haven't experienced half the problems a lot of others have.
no freezes, crashes or restarts. i get 3 days out of the battery. the battery meter was grossly out of whack at first, but after running it down to about 10% then recharging it overnight a couple of times, it seems to have recalibrated itself and is pretty accurate now.
i suppose the menu speed is ok, but once you start playing music, then it feels like driving an F1 car through refrigerated molasses! and it doesn't matter whether you use a plug-in or BT headset, the effect is the same. i guess another firmware upgrade or two is needed but this should be addressed immediately by SE.
what's funny is that i experienced the occasional pauses or skips while listening to music for the first time. this happened with both my BT headset and my HPM-70. then last night, i was listeing to music for a few hours using my HPM-70 and i realized that i never heard a single skip. strange, but i'm not complaining... it shouldn't be happening in the first place tho.
one thing i've noticed is that it takes WAY longer to start up Worldmate on this phone as compared to my W880. i have to hit the keys at least twice to light up the screen again before the app gets running. other java apps seem to run ok tho.
i'm still deciding whether i like this phone and the A200 platform in general, or not. having the 4th GSM band, EDGE, HSDPA and a beautiful, large screen is fantastic. but the firmware still seems very unpolished. very pleased with the hardware quality tho. so i shall give SE the benefit of the doubt with possibly 2 or 3 more firmware upgrades to resolve the issues.

Is there someone that can tell me all the new features/changes of this new firmware please?
From:
JP8.2
To:
JP8.2.1
faster
added an "Update Media" menu
"File Manager" renamed in My Files
and then? Is there other changes?
thanks!

R1F has now been released on O2
Posted by superleeds27
Well i must say that browsing the phone when media is playing has massively improved!
Its actually useable, music quality also seems to have improved too.
Lets hope SE build on this firmware
Posted by 0blivion
i noticed the bubbles had gone, however what you should do is open the media centre, and what you will find is that after the lists have loaded then the halo will load then after x amount of seconds the bubbles will come!
Posted by nmpraveen

Hi there. This is my first post so hi!
I have a small problem, well a large one actually.
I updated my phone software yesterday after having the pain in the backside of it rebooting and freezing all of the time, hoping this would at least lessen it happening. The update seemed to go ok, meaning i got the update successful screen. I unplug the phone, remove and re-insert the battery ans switch it on. First of all it turns on, i get the language selection screen and then as i select english, it freezes, shuts down and wont swith on again.
It's still not working now. If i take out and replace the battery, it switches on and shuts straight down. Does anyone have any idea about how i can fix this? I tried ringing Sony Ericsson but no one answered the call.
Thank's for any help you be able to give.
Oh by the way, i am on an o2 contract if that helps.

Try doing the update again - when it says you have the latest firmware, select to install it again anyway.
Worth a try?
Posted by bbbb0reddd
I've already tried that mate. It doesn't give me the opportunity to select the firmware again. Just says "You currently have the latest software" "continue anyway?"
I've tried the continue anyway option but to no avail. Im stuck for ideas now. The o2 people were aboutas useful as a chocolate teapot.
Posted by 0blivion
my w910i did something like this (though worse- w910i equivalent of the BROD) however if it is playing up like it is then there are three things that i can think of. you could see if it is the Sim card that is at error - try a different Sim and see how it goes. otherwise you would need to re flash the whole system. so that would be using a client like davinci team to flash the system, or depart with your phone for about 2 weeks for repair.
if you do chose to flash yourself- which takes like 10 min then it is eliminating the warranty,
good luck.

Odd, my software is the latest version but hsdpa is not visible. Only gsm and 3g.
How can you tell if you are using hsdpa or just 3g?
Posted by bbbb0reddd
@Oblivion
Thanks for the suggestions mate. I just tried a new sim and nothing. I have no idea how to flash a phone, and knowing me, i'd balls it up even more! I'm getting the Mrs to take it to a phone shop tomorrow to see what they have to say.
Hopefully, it'll be sorted soon. Suggestions are still welcome though!
Thanks

R1F is good But...
Battery life sucks!
3 days tops!
Posted by Sony α
I recall the W910i suffering from the same video playback issues as the K850i, has this since been fixed?
By Issue, I mean the video/audio lag...as the W890i suffers from it too...

@Hanzo
You mean that you don’t see the [H] icon in your display?
The answer I got from SE was that there is a signal in the 3G net that triggers the [H] icon and not all operators sends this signal. I saw the [H] when I was in Germany but so far never in Sweden (Telia) I only se the [3G] icon even that I am (to my knowledge) in a HSDPA zone.
Question:
I use firmware R1FA030. On two occasions I have had the message No Network Access (or equivalent) in the display. Other 3G phones with same operator had no problems at the time. I waited for an hour but the only way to get connected again was to reboot the phone. Has anyone else experienced this?

my battery life seems to last for almost 5 days or 1 week if on stand by without any usage.I'm on R1FA
on the no network access bug,i encountered it once.but mine is a bit worse,my phone was on stand by,thn i press it to show up the screen it showed me NO SIM INSERTED although i have the sim inside the 1st place,rebooted the phone and everything is ok now.
Posted by superleeds27
Mine lasted me 3 days, and i had only used the walkamn for around 1 hour.
Charged up 9 hours ago. 90% already..
Hmm
Posted by TJC
Superleeds, I know where your coming from with the battery issues. A few pages back on this forum I talked about massive massive battery drain on R1EA030 (lasting around 3 days tops, losing 10% every 8 hours while on standby), while there are others that said their battery is just fine with the same firmware. After I upgraded to R1EA033 the battery life on my w910i improved dramatically (getting 5 days easy and losing only 5% on standby).
I believe SE will soon release another firmware, maybed called R1FA033 or something similar to adjust the battery life. There seem to be either hardware differences or different ways our w910i reacts to the firmware based on which region your handset belong to.
Best of luck to you Superleeds. Reading the past few pages has been a rollercoaster ride with the reboots, hangs, and other problems. Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences with us less adventurous folks
To: Silver -- Did you upgrade to R1FA030? We got the same CDA number, if you are reading and you upgraded fill me in ! Thanks
