Hello.
I recently installed a 4 MB software update through the 'Update software' service in my phone.
I`m facing some major issues with it:
1) The reception has become really bad now! Earlier i never experienced call drops but now they are so frequent.
2) The flash remains on even if u switch it off in the still picture mode.
This means when u click a pic, till the time the autofocus is running the flash will remain on.
It is very uncomfortable as everybody around u comes to know that u are taking a pic. Very embarrasing if u want to click secretly.
3) 'Flash Auto' has also become unresponsive. In the same lit room in 1 direction the flash would auto on, in another it wont.
4) The loudspeaker cracks at max volume. This wasnt the case earlier.
The sony ericsson website says sony phones cannot be downgraded. Is it true?
Can i never get my original software again?
Help!

Now i`m trying to Update the phone software through the Update Service (35 MB) downloaded from the SE website.
To my surprise the Service showed that a software update is available.
And more surprisingly, the new software is 105 MB compared to the 4 MB one which i downloaded through the phone!
Any opinions on this?

Now i have installed the 105 MB update via Update Service. The differences in this n the 4 MB updated firmware:
1) This time the complete phone was formatted and all data in the phone mem was lost.
The previous time (during updation through phone over WiFi ( or FOTA) ) the phone wasn't formatted. All the data was intact.
2) Last time there was an additional sub-menu added in Menu > Media > Music > Resume > Options > More from the same.
It's missing now.
But, the loudspeaker problem has been resolved (no increase in the volume added though).
Cant say about the reception so soon.
But my major grouse still remains!
The flash being on even when turned off in the settings.

what is your new firmware? take a look at the thread i started:

i find it weird that your software update was only 4mb, anyway it wasn't a full update, I always use seus when updating the software, I have never used the update software in the phone. |

FOTA updates are much smaller because they only contain and install the things that are different from the old firmware, rather the entire OS memory block.

so if I updated through FOTA will the software version change or will it be like a patch or something? Which one is much more advisable?
