Hi there,
Now been at the ‘Updating Software’ showing 100% on the computer icon part of the screen for 2 hours is this normal?
How long has the update taken with others?
If this goes on all night do I just disconnect the phone from the computer in the morning?
Many thanks, Tim.

Mine was about 20-30 minutes long. And it was very strange because when it reached 50% it said the update was finished. A SEUS bug for sure because my p990 is working better than ever  |

Connected my phone via the USB as usual and cliked the backup icon.
But after the phones has restarted it says that "the phone is not answering anymore" Backup failed!

Doing the update now.
The new firmware downloaded very fast here, in under 30 seconds.
Currently at 19% updating, if my PC crashes now I'll kill someone :0 |

Hi there,
Well it seems to have worked I disconnected the P990i after 2 hours and the updated firmware is there.
Just restored my backup and reinstalled some games and Swiss Manager all seems to be working fine.
Can only assume XP caused the program 'not to respond' after the update was completed.
Again many thanks everyone.

The lag between the image and sound while recording videos seems to have been fixed as well. The recording was done on a 4 GB original Sony MS. |

Yeah, I've been having the same problem, the m-Router turns pink and the "phone not found" message appears briefly, after which m-Router connects again. I'm assuming it had something to do with the previous phone fw as after update I restored without that problem. Just try a couple of times and turn-off/turn on the P990. That was my solution. I was eventually able to make a backup.
P990i: A mistake, a curse and a disgrace  So I lowered my expectations and settled for a P1i. I couldn't keep my expectations so low for a long time so now I have an HTC Touch HD |

Disconnect phone, turn off, wait a few seconds, turn on the phone. Backup should work. It is a good idea to install the PCSuite version on SE web site, the old one has a lot of problems. Also get the latest version of m-Router from the web (mRouter3Installer_v31042.exe) and install over the one that comes with the PCSuite.
Good luck.

Ok here are my first impressions after spending 15 minutes with the new firmware:
- The phone seems much faster and more responsive, and switching between programs goes much better and faster; nice improvement!
- The bug with the absence of option to delete messages if you open the messaging app in closed mode and then opens the phone, still exists.
- The Videoplayer is _much_ faster and more responsive, opening a 200mb video file takes less than a second, and jumping across the time in the file seems to work flawlessly.
- Opera works much better, and especially with WLAN it flies!
- Multitasking actually works!
Just my two cents, but one thing I recommend: FLASH IT!!!

i wonder what this means for the pc suite:
from intuwave website:
Intuwave Limited (in administration)
Graham Bushby and Geoff Carton Kelly were appointed as joint administrators over the company on 13th of November 2006, to manage its business and assets.
The joint administrators act solely as agents to the company without personal liability. |

Hi guys,
I've just started to upgrade the firmware. Everything seems ok for now. The new firmware's name is Generic World 1.
I just want a faster phone. I hope to get it soon |

i confirm video improvements: 200mb file now starts instantaniously, and better - you now can advance in the time line without any lag! that was the remaining problem i had with videos (converted with m3) Now the p990 is really an outstanding video player |
