Upgraded mine and STILL getting the resetting clock/calendar thing back to year 2000. Anyone else getting this or is it just mine. It's like several times a day sometimes which means all the sms get re-ordered, calendar doesn't alarm etc.
Very annoying. |

A question or two or four regarding this thread and its occupants.
After reading this thread from start to finish I have developed a few questions:
1. Do some of the users here (they happen to be the same ones over and over) do anything other than look for errors, bugs, flaws, et al... with their phones during their waking hours?
2. Do these same people live simply to find these bugs, flaws, errors, etc.....
3. What satisfaction is derived from this?
4. Do you (the bug hunters) push the phones until they ultimately find something to report?
My reasons are that it seems the same people are the same ones finding bugs and posting them. These posts are generally grouped around a timeframe that would indicate that they spend quite a bit of time looking for bugs and very little else.
Not a flame, but questions to those whom they apply.

You obviously don't know what I'm saying. Wotan has the option to clear the phone's service menu call timer as well, so it starts at 00:00:00 and I verified this before posting.
I am not an idiot who goes posting until I am absolutely positive that it is an issue. I advise you to think before you speak, to avoid misleading others here.
Edit: The behaviour is the same as in previous firmwares, as in the timer in the menu is faster than in the settings.

Any way people.
Here is the latest Service Adiv for Sony Ericsson
Affected Products
K800/K610/V630/K790/K618
Information
A new and improved software is about to be released on EMMA III.
The new release contains two parts, the pre-configuration and the actual update. The pre-configuration prevents the majority of the “can’t power on” problem and the actual update contain other improvements described in the improvements section below.
If you have a phone that doesn’t contain this pre-configuration Emma III will force you to download it before you can continue with the actual update. If the pre-configuration already is loaded in to the phone, either from factory or by EMMA III, you will not be prompted for this again
Due to some technical constraints Update Service and Update Service Pro don't support the pre-configuration part. Hence the actual update will be loaded without the above pre-configuration. The phone will then have the new and improved software but “can’t power on” problems might in some rare occasions still occur.
Released services
From start only Software Update Content Refresh will be released
Work is on-going with Update Service, Update Service Pro, Software update and Customise. They will be released as soon as the work is finalised.
Instructions
Log on to EMMA III as usual and connect the phone using SEPI-A1 or a USB Cable.
If the phone doesn’t contain the pre-configuration EMMA III will display a message saying:
Connect the phone again at the same time as you’re pressing “2” and “5”. The loading of the pre-configuration is finalised when EMMA III displays the message:
The Above is for the EROM
*** Note the EROM is that part of the phone that starts and stops the phone, This is the Same as a BIOS in a PC ***
**
The phone is now ready updated software with R1ED001 or later, following the normal update process.
Major Improvements in R1ED001
Phone automatically answers with PHF. Corrected
Major improvements that will reduce the can’t power on problem
The phone will now attempt to send messages without authenticating to the server, if no outgoing username/password has been specified.
**
If i get any more i will let you know,

Thanks.
I was just curious because I see the very same people posting about bugs with their phones. It is as though they do nothing but look for bugs rather than simply using the device for it intended purpose.
Your posts are also a blessing and a curse. Those of us that can look at your recent post objectively and see it for what it is will go, "oh, cool. Great news". However, the accursed part comes in when some will see this and then start the: "Why isn't it posted yet. SE is screwing us, or when will the perfect phone ever be invented?" You have definitely poured gasoline on the fire with this one.

Thanks, it means SE won't update my K800i via 'old' SEUS..There will be SEEUS (Sony Ericsson EROM Upgrade Service) before updating with SEUS. Hm, that's why R1ED001 isn't out for SEUS. Good news..lol. |

@sapporobaby
I dont mind helping any one out. Knowledge is power and power is knowledge. (Well something is power) Also Knowledge is dangerous i know that so i share it wisely 
I would rather share my knowledge. Ok sometimes people do say this and that. But i would rather place my knowledge on here to hopefully stop them doing this.
@aremaboy
You are more than welcome. May be people on here will now not keep asking whe the SEUS will work
*** Please no post saying Why doesnt SE tell us this or remove it from the Update ***
SE are working on a fix and trying to resolve the issue fast.
In the mean time, SE Service centers will resolve and update the phone for you. ** For those who dont havnt SE update service centers or cant get to one. Some Countries have a free post returns to the service center and they will do the update for free.
Bear with SE or use wotan Server. it will cost 7 Euros. It isnt ideal but its the only one you have at the moment.
I know its not what every one wants to here.
Another thing to say. Wotan Server will allow you to update the EROM for Free. However you still have to have a credit ava for you to do this.
The Credit isnt removed so i suppose while your there, you might as wel and upgrade the phone too.
I have dont both of my K800is now and a few others.
Any more new i will let you all know.
Im shortly on my hols (Tuesday night for 2 weeks)(I need a Break) So I will not be able to help on answer any quetions. However I know that there are all good people on here and will look after every one.

EMMA III Is what Sony Ericsson Service Centers use to update the phones. No only Service Centers Engineers and Sony have access to this website.
As said in the previous thread, No release date regarding the SEUS. All I can say is the SE are working on a update, But dont expect it too soon.

Quick question for you. My EROM is older but I flashed my phone to R1ED001, (EROM = R3A011), the phone is fine. Works like it should. Is there a bother to upgrade the EROM in terms of performance or should I not "fix" it if it ain't broken?
Cheers and enjoy the Hols.

N82(YES), iPhone 3G, Shure es530, Nikon D300, more stuff. No more SE stuff, why am I still here? |

But its gonna be released on SEUS, so you don't need to send in it to Service Center...
You are saying its not gonna be anytime soon, and I think you have pretty good knowlege about SE,so maybe the fastet and best way is to send in the phone to SE... |
