@maruf06, assuming your internet connection is stable, delete everything in C:\\Program Files\\Sony Ericsson\\Update Service\\db\\13740270\\blob_fs and run SEUS again. It may be a good idea to temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus programs too, just in case 
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 |

If you know anyone that has updated, you can copy the contents of that folder from their PC to yours, or use their PC to do the update.
It's hard to tell, normally uninstall, delete all registry entries and the related files under Documents and Settings and reinstall should work. The size of the folder is 79.3 MB, check that too.

I also do confirm the bug with big text files cannot be launched, and close the text (or notebook) application.
It seems also that if you have several (or at least more than 1) application opened, at the moment you tried to open a long text file, p990 closes down those other application in order to get memory out of it. I really do not know why, but p990 should be able to open them and deal with them.
I have compare it with p910 (my old and loyal telecom warrior), and it opened text files bigger than 400 Kb (which this size my p990 does not like, and refuses to open).
Anyway, please SE-guys (if some of them read this lines) please do not play around with the .mmp, parameter lists (or whatever you call them), and fix them so we finally can use this simple application.
I know Symbian will be bought by Microsoft, and probably the Symbian (at least for SE) life will be over in a time soon (maybe not), but at least do try fix this (does not matter if you do not give any other new feature), and make p990 the promise it was.

Good observation there, perhaps you wanna post this in the R6 bugs thread as well, make it easier for SE people to spot it  |

To say it is a bug is absolutely wrong. At this moment I am listening some music, checking emails, contact app is open, advanced call manager in the background, and reading 1.4mb (very long text file-actually a book) in word to go. I couldnt do that in my P910. One of the advantages of P990 is IMO ability to handle large text documents. |

.Hey how were you able to open 1.4 mb file in word to go?
Was it a file you wrote or something what you installed in the phone? I'm quite surprised. |

Its a book I created in ms word on my PC andthen instaled on P990 (274 pages). In any case word to go is able to open 1-1.5 mb files. |

I have now had some time to use R6. Put simply, its worse than R5. Overall, I have less user satisfaction.
I had forgotten about the phone re-start issues and how bad it was. Its almost like there MUST be new f/w left to come and  just wants to remind us how bad the phone was!! I have to say, I was dang happy with R5 and only upgraded to see if some of the small tweaks possibly waiting as nuggets in R6. Im terribly diappointed.
Its like giving with one hand and taking away with the other. The plus of the louder alarm and debatably improved auto-focus do not outweigh by any means the resarting I am now experiencing again (welcome back R3) and the low memory because the leak is now worse (can we say R3 again).
If anyone ever thinks of a way of reverting to former f/w, please do share.

Totally agree.
R6 didn't actually introduce any major thing to us but more problems.
and...the nasty bug is back again...the phone appears to be on, and in reality, the phone application is not working and the phone itself is actually off...I missed an important call today from one of my teammates in my work due to this f**kin bug that makes the phone fail even to work as a NORMAL DAMN CELL PHONE.
What the hell is SE thinking?? and stopping support and f/w upgrades is another thing that makes me want to stop using SE products completely in favor to Nokia, after I've been loyal to Ericsson/SE for 5 damn years.
Am beginning to hate this phone already...

.Well, my phone on r5 was not able to open a file 274k, written in word. Although, was able to open other file about 900k. It's a mistery how it works. I have no problems with docstogo. |

If it is still stuck, you have no choice. Cancel the update (remove the phone) and start from the beginning. You will not have to download the fw again and the program should start updating the phone right away.
