sad to say, i only discover this website after i've done update..
Posted by dodgymanc
Hey guys.
Bought my K750i a few days ago, and it crashes! The updates don't seem to be downloading either - hate to repeat what already has gone on but it's really not working. Here's what I've done so far:
Downloaded USB Update Driver from SE website (in My Documents), uninstalled PC Suite, SE Drivers and disable firewall. Followed the instructions, but my PC (Win XP Home) doesn't recognise the 'New Hardware' (The USB connection is working fine normally)
So I go into the Device Manager screen and maximise the Universal Serial Bus Controllers drop down menu, and right click on the port my K750i is plugged into, and tried to update the driver that way. It said it had been successful so I try the actual update. After completing everything on the checklist screen (including re-installing PC Suite) the next screen is blank, and nothing happens...
Help! The crashing is doin my head in! I'd have thought since it's a new phone, it would come with the latest software!?!

Hi Ya - make sure you have Java Virtual machine installed or some sort of java as this is what happenned to me...
Hope this is the problem...
Posted by victorh017
Yeap, that's what it is.
If you don't have JAVA installed, you just get that blank screen and nothing happens. The website should give you a warning or something instead of just going blank letting you think: where did I f**k up??
But it's not your fault. Just install JAVA, (it's free) and then you'll be fine.

As this appears to be a common problem, I have included a link to Sun's J2RE in the first post.
Posted by max_wedge
I seem to remember the sues client install having the option to install J2RE ticked by default....
Posted by dodgymanc
Thanks for the Java tip - i've installed it and the update program ran. However i have now got to the bit where i power off the phone, hold 'c' etc etc...and the update software just seems to hang. I disconnected my phone and everything seems to be working fine, but I'm getting frustrated now! Might try and risk turning off the firewall before the update.
I'm thinking about using DaVinci now...

Where's this new firmware release I've been reading about on here??...
Thought it was too good to be true!!!

Hi, i just want to know if someone has problems with W800 fw R1K?? Is there any possiblitie it will be add to this thread???
Posted by CyberVisitor
All these "Where's this new firmware release" posts in this thread are pointless, don't you get that? R1L002 works fine and a new firmware will be released when it's released - not earlier, not later! There's nothing with R1L002 to panic about... and all those of you who scream for a new firmware will be dissapointed anyway, because you always expect a "revolution" but get some minor bug fixes!
Please stop posting pointless messages like "I want a new firmware, bla bla bla" in this great thread!

Hi CyberVisitor,
In reply to your post, I just thought I would inject a light hearted comment about a new firmware release that I and many, many other people, who are more than dissatisfied with the current firmware, have been both eagerly and patiently waiting for.
My apologies if my post offended you or annoyed you to such an extent that you felt the need to post a comment of your own.
If you read some of my previous posts, you will see exactly what I think about how badly Sony Ericcson have handled this whole issue and whilst you may be content with the present firmware, a hell of a lot of us aren't and it is a big deal to us. I enjoy reading and posting on this forum, but I think it's pretty poor if someone is not able to air their opinions or thoughts openly, without someone else seeing a post as trivial, (even though it may well be to them) and passing a derogatory comment of even less value or interest to those reading this thread.

I am having problems with R1L002 on W800i (i'm guessing we're just using this thread for the firmware on the W800i?).
Its T-mobile branded (EU_2, i think), and every time I make a phone call, the phone says "invalid sim" and then restarts itself.
It does this task on its own sometimes too.
There is a also a problem with editing contacts phone numbers from sms messages (the 'detail' method).
So, i'm looking forward to the new firmware.

Just a short note to the person having problems updating the k750i at the part where you have to press "c", I too had this problem and how i overcame it was by downloading the Update USB drivers off the site and saving and extracting them to the Sony Ericsson folder, and to make sure, also copy it to the Update folder part of the Sony Ericsson folder too as i am not sure which way i made mine work. Hope this helps.. i might just have been lucky though, after getting frustrated over searching sites and contacting sony.
Posted by dodgymanc
Thanks to everyone who's offered help...I phoned up the SE helpline today and they have no idea why I have the problem. But I remembered about something when I first got the phone. I had major issues charging it initially, then I thought about taking out the memory card that came bundled with the phone....and it charged up!
So i've took the memory card out of my phone (remember - it hasn't been updated) and no crashes yet. So has anyone else had problems with memory cards?

when is the next firmware out?

@alex21008
Writing that you need a new firmware due to problems is one thing, writing pointless messages like "Where's the new firmware", "When is the new firmware due" is, well, pointless
When there's a new firmware, you sure will be able to read about it here... so until then...
Posted by masseur
@cybervisitor, agreed. that was pretty much why I closed this thread
lets just wait. it WILL be posted here when its available and until then there is no point to continually ask when it will be available
also just remember that sometimes a new firmware can introduce new problems so unless you have a problem known to be fixed in a new firmware then its best to wait to hear reports from other members
mind you, having said that, I'm as impatient as the next guy and usually update as soon as the new firmware becomes available!
Posted by max_wedge
new firmware is seen as a panacea, however I have found with all mobile brands from time to time the firmware gets corrupted, for no obvious reason, and just reflashing to the current firmware, even if you already have it, can fix the problem. Sometimes even master resting is enough. My K700 developed a bit of a wobbly once, I master reset it, and everything returned to normal.
I suspect many phones crashing etc on R1L002 are infact not faulty firmware VERSIONS as such, but just corrupted firmware. I find it hard to believe that one guys K750 R1L will run perfect, but another guys will crash all the time, and that the firmware version is at fault in one but not the other? If they have different operator branding that may be the cause, in which case the phone needs debranding. However many unbranded R1L handsets have been reported on this forum as crashing all the time, and I sometimes wonder is it really the Firmware VERSION as such that is at fault? I mean, my K750 simply never crashes.
Regarding memory cards, there have been several posts around esato by dudes having problems with crashing that went away when they replaced or formatted their memory cards. So I expect memory cards may be one of the factors in supposed R1L crashing also.
I know when I upgraded my K750 to R1L, the memory card was in the bay, and it was corrupted (unreadable by the phone) after the upgrade. I had to format the card in windows, then it was fine. The phone itself was okay after the upgrade.
So maybe format the card in windows, and see if that helps the situation re charging.... also maybe reflash without the memory card installed.

(Joke)
Posted by gareb
Still on the R1J-version and cant use SEUS but it dont bother me much 'cause sooner or later I'm takin' this beuaty to the local
and let them update it when the new one's out.
Posted by Carlsb3rg
I've got the answer for the availibity of the next firmware.
According to my sources, the firmware release is imminent.
Posted by Phantasm4489
SE told me that months ago
Posted by max_wedge
The new firmware will be released the day everyone has R1L (or is happy sitting on R1A).
Then the new firmware will screw every phone that downloads it on the first three days, before SE realise they have to bring out another firmware to fix it
Posted by darky
The new firmware IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!

I'm asking when new firmware will be released and will it able to fix video quality but I get this type of reply.
Thank you for supporting Sony Ericsson product.
With regard to your enquiry, we would like to inform that the new phone software will enhance the phone operating system, there is not any negative feedback on this R1L002 software.
However, we would like to suggest you kindly bring the phone along the warranty card to our service center should the phone fail to operate under normal use.
Please contact Sony Ericsson Call Center again if we can assist you further.
Best regards,
Desmond Tew

Gah! There's plenty they could fix with R1L.

#raymondevil
As usual a completely useless and stupid answer from the callcenters of SE
Just like the useless and stupid answers you usually get from most callcenters of any company around the world.

I just have one question: when the new fw will be relased? (just kidding)
Well, i have to say that this new fw is tooo much expected and is taking a long time, but i don't think the new fw will fix many problems, if it coul fix the video issues qill be a total hit and i hope so 
Btw, has anyone have a low loudspeaker volume in calls with R1K FW?? (the W800 one
)
Posted by vegetaleb
Man Se team is finishing their summer vacations in tahiti
so now that we are in september they HAVE TO WORK ,hehehe
anyway the only annoying thing I found is that volume in games and music is lowering itself everytime I quit the media player
Posted by Bob4454
Can I ask if anyone has been able to upgrade an unbranded K750i? I have an unbranded phone. My operator is Vodafone.I have tried to upgrade but it wont let me.
My CDA says:
CDA 102338/38 R6A
cxc 125953 R1A044
EUROPE_2
Posted by adrianoliv
you are crazy IF you have R1A044 dont upgrade it
Posted by quaeler
i've stayed with R1A intently - the only problem an upgrade fixes for me is fixing shuffle on the media player, where as i get crappier video apparently if i upgrade to J or L.
i'll take lame shuffling over worse video - crazy or not.
Posted by Lucas
I dont know if this has been asked since it will take me 43 days to look through the entire thread. Will an upgrade delete my Java games?
/Luc
Posted by Krubach
@Lucas
It depends on how the upgrade will be done. But in most cases, YES. You'll lose everything.
Posted by etaab
Every firmware update ive ever done hasnt deleted a thing from my phone(s).
So its not always a YES, but a maybe.
Posted by Phantasm4489
SEUS update keeps everything intact. Other upgrades (eg. Davinci flasher) will completely reformat everything.
