Dear All,
Gday. Thought i would share some info with you guys on the
firmware update. I spoke to a technician at SE service centre.
They have told me to hold before i upgrade to R9, there would be a new
stabilized version out by end of this month (End Jan 07). I hope
the new version will bring some light to the unresolved issues.

i donīt doubt you, but you only mentioned a few...about the speed of the menus, just compare critical aspects has opening contacts with what was before...i have 400 contacts, they now open on 3 secs, they took an eternity before
My problems with RA14 Organizer Firmware are this ones, and very few are really bugs:
lack of bookmarks button on opera
lack of option to switch off transitions (although sometimes they are off, even withou video running on backgrouns - weird)
memory management should be more improved, although now i have NO reboots at all and few kernel errors (1 since tuesday)
lack of information on standby screen like M600
canīt change menu icons like on M600
rss reader should support images
image thumbnails and applicacion icons are low res or suffer from compression, just like contacts images

lol thanks for outlining what i wanted to know.... i was thinking of keeping my p990i till the firmware came out to see if it would make is more m600i like... shame the the m600i seems be more logical and intelligent then the flagship

This is what I have suspected. I had a feling that something new was going to come out real soon. And this time I think that some new things will be added, and not just bug realated (Hoping)

Hi all,
* when I use the security code for phone lock, sometimes USB icon appear without connecting USB cable and dont removed untill restart the phone.
* in the Music when click update some hidden files appear.
* if anyone contacting SonyEricsson about the problems tell them also to put a password on the fileManager in the phone to prevent others from seeing hidden files. |

My R9 update:
1.) As mentioned by several others, numbers would show for a split second when entering PIN numbers before turning into asterisks (*).
2.) On the today screen, flip closed, recent missed calls do not get logged.
3.) The USB icon appears and stays displayed even though the phone is not connected to my computer.
4.) The boot up is still slow as the previous fw.
I will add on to this list as I find more bugs.

@michi123:
Max characters at 153 is due to large font as the default. This adds extra hidden control characters to the SMS. Try changing to medium font size. (This is not Zoom but instead the "Aa" icon under the text window.)

To makbil: the sound volume won't stay at any other level then 50%. Even if you change that in the service menu. The 'adjusting' only is to see/hear the changes while in the menu!

While doing the test I do hear sound from the front speaker, more like beeping sound. At 100% the front speaker volume level is very satisfactory unlike in conversation where it's too low. But you are right, the test default is 50% and it always starts at that value.

I do not consider this a bug, in fact it is a feature I like, it verifies that I have typed in the correct digits. It's not like you are typing on a big screen open to public view.

I do agree, especially now that my touchscreen has become a bit flaky after the firmware update. The feedback allows me to see that I got the right digits when in flipless mode.

Well, one should know after a while ones own PIN and not need this crappy delay before the asterix comes up! If it would be like a few now state, that its not public and nothing to worry, why not have it stay in numbers anyways? Its not public and after your input you press enter anyways.
Its just not right to have it delayed that long now. And since it wasn't that long before R9, this is a bad thing in R9!
