Do you mean it uses a standard HTTP connection for the actual firmware download or just to browse the site pages and download the PC client ?
One question... did you plugged the power supplier into syncstation during update or not ? I'm asking it because if you switch P900 off and it's powered it soon turns itself on (it's not working, symply shows the charge status, but anyway it's on). I have tried both ways... with and without power supplier with the same results  |

few questions and observations..
i know the SE engineers read this forum so... first off congratulations on excellent device. my totally blown away with my p900.
on the update. (anyone know answers ?)
- why the direct net connect ? why can't one download a flash file to load ?
- does the java application speak http and can it be directed through an active http proxy (i.e. is the data http rather than direct 'socket' connection ?
- given the excellent SE-mac support. will this upgrade service be available to non PC users ?
- if the upgrade service fails. any way to do a reconnect without downloading the 11mb installer ?
- bluetooth ?

A possible reason why people are having problems - text taken from the "overview" section:
Assumption: You have a fully charged battery, the PC Suite installed and at least a 0.5 Mbps Internet connection.
Are you people on dial up by any chance? :-/

There is a recovery mode listed as an option. The installer is a one time install only.. I have a link to directly download that installer.. As a matter of fact I had the installer as early as the 11-07-03... I believe the flash site was up back then for a second, but the only thing that was available was that installer... I got the link from somewhere on this board or another back then.. So that's no big deal.. I suppose online install actually is a sure way to monitor the phone while its updating.. The cda text file is accessible through the ROM of the phone.. As of now the only way to manage your way into it is with the proper hardware/software... The auto-updater manages to monitor your cda revision during the install process from the server side... That is the case why some have not been able to upgrade their phones nor pull the old switcharoo after the phone has initially checked the cda revision.. Moreover, leaving any upgrade tool as an offline option is a sure way to allow their programs to be compromised by hackers..As far as non-PC device I don't see where you're going with that..

I had the "timeout" problem while updating. Over and over again it just showed "timeout".
Now I have reset it completely (with a backup before of course!) and now it worked at the first attempt!
Go into the control panel and reset your phone and I am sure the update will work for you other guys having the timeout problem!

Had the same problem with XP SP1 and Internet Explorer. I DL'ed Opera w/Java, and that solved the problem, the update worked right away using Opera.
It seems like it's a problem with Explorer..

I did it
I think it's just a network problem with SonyEricsson... probably their bandwidth is overloaded.
Tonight I tried again without changing anything and I was able to update my P900 at the first attempt. No more "Waiting..." messages. |

thanks for the details.
nc said >>- given the excellent SE-mac support. will this upgrade service be available to non PC users ?
bigfret replied >>.As far as non-PC device I don't see where you're going with that..
the sony-ericsson phones have been very impressive in the compatibility and usability with apple's macosx address book, bluetooth and iSync.
it was disappointing to see one needed to revert down to a pc to get the update working.
especially when the while thing seems to be java based !

HELP 
After upgrading to version CDA162003/2 R2C01 my P900 GPRS is not working any more
I can connect to the service and send packets... but I don't receive anything !!! I have two mobile operators with two SIMs and both have the same problem ! Using my old Nokia7650 everything works fine so it's a problem of my SonyEricsson
Before upgrading it worked fine with GPRS !!!
Does anyone else have problems with GPRS ? |

@Neil
- Its funny that you said "downgraded" to PC. Macs Vs Pc - neverending fued.. Love Macs for my graphics programming and love PC for its sheer global compatibility with software/devices. I don't think that site is finished yet.. They sill have more to develop and frankly this was their first official crack at it...
@......
No GPRS problems.. Did you do a system restore? For your GPRS issues what are the eror msgs? I don't believe the firmware upgrade would "ruin" your GPRS.. If you did restore there is a possibility that your backup was corrupted.. Do a system reset and enter them manually..

I did a master reset and configured everything manually. Same results. There are no erros... the device detects a GPRS capable network and when i have to retrieve an E-Mail, an MMS or browse the Net it starts the correct connection... but after that I can only see that it sends data but receives nothing ! In my GPRS log I have several Kbytes sent and 0 Kbytes received |

I got my fone 3 weeks ago. yesterday i tried the update service, the returned result after i preformed an automated update was that my handset software was current and no update was needed. Below are the details.
Phone: cxc162022 r3b004
BT: cxc12529 r5d
Org: cxc162021 r1c01
cda: cda162004/3 r2b01
Due to the different software types listed on this forum the software must be network specific?
