Hey guys.
Bought my K750i a few days ago, and it crashes! The updates don't seem to be downloading either - hate to repeat what already has gone on but it's really not working. Here's what I've done so far:
Downloaded USB Update Driver from SE website (in My Documents), uninstalled PC Suite, SE Drivers and disable firewall. Followed the instructions, but my PC (Win XP Home) doesn't recognise the 'New Hardware' (The USB connection is working fine normally)
So I go into the Device Manager screen and maximise the Universal Serial Bus Controllers drop down menu, and right click on the port my K750i is plugged into, and tried to update the driver that way. It said it had been successful so I try the actual update. After completing everything on the checklist screen (including re-installing PC Suite) the next screen is blank, and nothing happens...
Help! The crashing is doin my head in! I'd have thought since it's a new phone, it would come with the latest software!?!

Yeap, that's what it is.
If you don't have JAVA installed, you just get that blank screen and nothing happens. The website should give you a warning or something instead of just going blank letting you think: where did I f**k up??
But it's not your fault. Just install JAVA, (it's free) and then you'll be fine.

As this appears to be a common problem, I have included a link to Sun's J2RE in the first post. |

I seem to remember the sues client install having the option to install J2RE ticked by default.... |

Thanks for the Java tip - i've installed it and the update program ran. However i have now got to the bit where i power off the phone, hold 'c' etc etc...and the update software just seems to hang. I disconnected my phone and everything seems to be working fine, but I'm getting frustrated now! Might try and risk turning off the firewall before the update.
I'm thinking about using DaVinci now...

All these "Where's this new firmware release" posts in this thread are pointless, don't you get that? R1L002 works fine and a new firmware will be released when it's released - not earlier, not later! There's nothing with R1L002 to panic about... and all those of you who scream for a new firmware will be dissapointed anyway, because you always expect a "revolution" but get some minor bug fixes!
Please stop posting pointless messages like "I want a new firmware, bla bla bla" in this great thread! |

Hi CyberVisitor,
In reply to your post, I just thought I would inject a light hearted comment about a new firmware release that I and many, many other people, who are more than dissatisfied with the current firmware, have been both eagerly and patiently waiting for.
My apologies if my post offended you or annoyed you to such an extent that you felt the need to post a comment of your own.
If you read some of my previous posts, you will see exactly what I think about how badly Sony Ericcson have handled this whole issue and whilst you may be content with the present firmware, a hell of a lot of us aren't and it is a big deal to us. I enjoy reading and posting on this forum, but I think it's pretty poor if someone is not able to air their opinions or thoughts openly, without someone else seeing a post as trivial, (even though it may well be to them) and passing a derogatory comment of even less value or interest to those reading this thread. |

I am having problems with R1L002 on W800i (i'm guessing we're just using this thread for the firmware on the W800i?).
Its T-mobile branded (EU_2, i think), and every time I make a phone call, the phone says "invalid sim" and then restarts itself.
It does this task on its own sometimes too.
There is a also a problem with editing contacts phone numbers from sms messages (the 'detail' method).
So, i'm looking forward to the new firmware.

Just a short note to the person having problems updating the k750i at the part where you have to press "c", I too had this problem and how i overcame it was by downloading the Update USB drivers off the site and saving and extracting them to the Sony Ericsson folder, and to make sure, also copy it to the Update folder part of the Sony Ericsson folder too as i am not sure which way i made mine work. Hope this helps.. i might just have been lucky though, after getting frustrated over searching sites and contacting sony. |

Thanks to everyone who's offered help...I phoned up the SE helpline today and they have no idea why I have the problem. But I remembered about something when I first got the phone. I had major issues charging it initially, then I thought about taking out the memory card that came bundled with the phone....and it charged up!
So i've took the memory card out of my phone (remember - it hasn't been updated) and no crashes yet. So has anyone else had problems with memory cards? |
