I swapped out the w960i battery for the p1i battery to overcome the squeak and for the extra juice.
I asked in another thread about if A P1 battery would fit. Still not got time to buy one though due to other commitments but will be buying one next payday.
BST-40's are £29.99 from the
Eshop or nearly £50 if I go to the high street and buy one

If not .gif, does it support any other animated format? What about the animated walkman themes? (i dont hav any in my phone but read here tht u ppl have anim themes)...being a K750 user for abt 3 yrs now, not havin an animated standby kinda pisses me off...
Also I miss the translucent standby notes of the k750...any post-it-notes apps tht allow transparent/trnslucent backgrounds?
Posted by Rookwise
No. The only animation is via the screensaver.
If you go to the main menu/tools.control pannel/device/standby application
You can change the Walkman to Business or even turn the Walkman off.
Set it to Business and you will get the Today screen. This shows your calender, email, messages, tasks etc and you also still have the Walkman application on the screen as well.

The p1i battery is slightly more powerful, i would say on average an extra 2-3 hours of energy. As far as it fitting it will but rather snuggly, for me it works, and its worth it.

Help...I cant seem to use animated wallpapers on my 960i and none of the installed themes are animated either...doesnt the 960 support animated standby? lf it does then how do i enable it? Or do i need a FW upgrade?
No, I don't think it supports .gif images as wallapper.
No it doesn't support animated GIF, and if you choose one as a wallpaper, only the first frame will be displayed as still picture
I tried several types of gif but no success, even I tried animated SVG files and same thing happened

I've had a BST-40 in my W960i since the late Jan.
I removed the foam pad from the cover and stuck it on the old battery.
The BST40 fits in well if you remove the pad.
No gaps on the cover, cant tell from the outside its different.
A little bit harder to remove the cover.
I get just under a week of battery life; GSM only, a few calls a day (10-15min), 20ish txt,

hey guys, after using the w960i for a few months, i conclude the battery life isnt the best, i have the brightness set to 100%, and 3G is turned off, and i never really use the walkman or wifi or bluettoth, i basically just use it for texting and calls, and it doesnt last that long, i basically charged it overnight to 100%, and a day and a half later, tis already @ 75%. i am wondering if the p1i batttery would fit snugly and have no dramas in wokring with the operation of the 960i, is this possible?
Posted by Vexii
Why do you bought your W960i then? Only for sms and calling? Then it's a very expensive choice. Battery life for me is one day (using gprs, sms, wifi, calling a lot etc.) P1i battery can do it. it will be tight but you can use P1i battery in your W960i.

I'm in exactly the same position. I've had a k850i, an iPhone and a w960i in the past year, and I ONLY use SMS and calling. I have never even tried the camera on this phone. The only reason I get these phones, and I'm quite sure that others will be in the same position, is that I'm on a business package, and get a free phone upgrade to a top model every 4 months. But then again, I do spend upwards of £200 a month on calls and SMS.

Hi to all!

Congrats on the purchase. Look after the phone and you will enjoy it for a long time.
If you havent done so already. I would suggest you purchase some protection for you phone. www.PDair.com do some high quality leather cases for the
960. Have bought a few from there and they are extremely well made.
Or there's always the plastic or silicone type cases but make sure you use a screen protector with them as well

i see theres 2 language pack
* W960i Language Files CXC162146 R6F41
* W960i Language Files CXC162146 R6G04
but both doesnt include tradition chinese...
Posted by Rookwise
Those are the only language packs available atm. Might be worth emailing sony ericsson about it.

Posted by Rookwise
I'm not sure if Davinci might have firmware with the language pack you need. Might be worth having a look and reflash your phone with it.
Me present off peterkay (I did pay £20 for it
) came today. Put my W960 on it and sound good

I would need some help, the thing is, my w960 seems to loose connection to the gsm/3g once a day and to fix this after it happens is to restart it. It's very annoying because i miss alot of calls and sms.
Is anyone else having this problem?
I'm using the latest firmware.
Please some help!
Posted by Rookwise
Whats your network ?
My girlfriends on Vodafone and her 3g/GPRS signal keeps going and the phone has to restarted to get it back but she can still make standard calls fine.
Mine works fine with my O2 Uk sim in but when my girlfriend put her sim card into mine she had the same problem as before.
Posted by Ravager
well i'm in sweden so "Telia" but this isn't just the "data" connection it's calls and sms too! The thing is, if no one else have this problem then it's probably a technical fault but i tought it would be wise to check here before sending it away.
Posted by IRFCA_WDG-3A
Did a brief search...but where cn I get a list of changes incorporated into the various versions of W960 firmware? My current version is R9K009 I belive. Will a fw upgrade help me get rid of the white balance prob?(my pics are too yellowish and greenish, the blue component is laclking)
Also, do I need to backup everythg? What abt installed apps?

I am having the same problem. No matter how hard i tried to find a way to fix it just keeps hapening. I even tried a different SIM card. It happened less often but still it happened. It's very frustrating since it shows that it has full network and signal but in fact you don't get any calls or sms neither you can do. On;y way to fix it is to restart the phone. I am having too the latest firmware and keep in mind that this BUG exists from the p990 saga. I dn't thing they have tried to fix it since it happens on few phones and network use and conditions play a big role.
Something else to note to you is that on my primary network (and thus sim) it hanged about once a day and some times even every 5 minutes!!! No programs running other than contacts, messaging and the walkman application. I even selected ONLY GSM network but stil it crashed.
On the second sim (Which is brand new and it's 32KB in size) it happened much less often but still it happened every 1-2 days. From the search i have done i wasn't able to figure out if it's a software or hardware bug. I have this phone about three months. I'm totaly sick of the number of cold rests i had to do to this phone. I'm totaly dissatisfied of this phone. My previous phone was a K750 , i had it for 3 years, i had no problems with it, i could even have it open for a month with no crashes i was totaly satisfied with it.
Tommorow i am going to sell my W960 and switch back to K750 untill i find another smartphone to replace the W960 , probably a Windows Mobile PDA...
Posted by Ravager
thx for that answer thou i wonder why it started to happen now, i've had the phone for like 3 months.
Well Well the phone havn't really impressed me much in any way so maybe it was the wrong chocie but I can't buy a Nokia
and the K850 didn't impress me either. 
Posted by plAythiNG
i just love how the fone is very clear for the ear speaker, and the ringing speaker is incredibly loud, well done. i had the w910i b4 w960i, and i was not impressed at all, but 960i, has done it for me, even though it has all hte nice features, we alll know ,after a week of mucking around, we never use them nemore, like seirously, who uses wifi on ur fone, wen u have a laptop / pc. theo nly other function i use is the sound recorder, so i know wat sum songs are , if i do not know wat it is called.

Bump...requesting for a log of changes in f/w versions of the 960...any ideas?
Posted by Nipsen
Yes. Pick up the phone and give the SE support people an earful. Then write more mail to support, and get answers similar to - "have you inserted the battery properly?", to all questions, including the ones about problems with the UI. The repeat the questions, and get blown off for pestering support with an already answered question - "check to see if the battery was inserted properly".
And then write your own (partial) changelog at the wiki.

I've just upgraded the firmware of my HK version 960i and the main thing I notice are camera improvements. First, it takes pictures in half the time. Second, there's a square viewfinder in the center that turns green when focused.
Another thing I noticed is there's a slight change with the 3 square symbols that appear when you input text. Instead of displaying a chinese character, it now says "en" for english.
There's also a snowboarding game called SSX by EA sports. It's a cool game that looks and plays a lot like Tony Hawk Pro Skater on a gameboy advance. The controls are a little quirky without a d-pad though.
So far, that's all I can see.

Hello there!
this is my first time to post here, and I can say that I'm a very proud owner of the W960i unit, =)
Just want to ask what's the firmware (latest?) you have installed on your phone. I think the firmware on my phone is a bit old (CXC 162037 R9J005). Any improvements and what are the changes that were made?
thanks! =)

Well, in that case, I my f/w is pretty much at par with what you suggest - i do get the square in the viewfinder and the SSX game....but not too sure about the photos....the quality is very nice & sharp but the colors are very unbalanced - specially the blue component is very dull and I have to manually edit ALL my pics in the PC afterwards...
Posted by lorsban
Yeah, the camera's just ok for taking family photos and stuff like that. For anything else, you're better off with a regular camera.

Probably the easiest way to do it is to go to Walkman > Auto Playlists > Latest Additions. So once it gets added it should be near the top of that list. Just remove it from the walkman then. The only problem is it will keep being added every time you update the walkman.

In the walkman player you select More/Settings/Preferences and under Files you can filter what kind of audio files you want the Walkman player to play. I.e. files < 1Mb or of low quality are not listed as music in the player.
