we only ever know that for any models when someone spots an upcoming firmware on the EMMA servers or actually tries an online update and finds a new version on their phone
occassionally, as with this update, se support mention to a customer/esato member that a new firmware is becoming available soon and that member posts here but there is no real formal way of telling end users that a new firmware is available

hi all I'm a newbie here just a quickie about me,
I'm an old sony ericsson user had 630 - k700 -k750
but I've been a regular at esato for over a year (or two  ) just been too lazy to register, so I already know about a lot of you guys and I love the place 
ok not to drift too offtopic, if you keep pressing c and nothing happens close the window and disconnect the usb cable REMOVE YOUR MEMORY STICK after turning the phone off and do the update again,
I tried doing the update more then 7 times and it kept freezing at press c and insert usb cable I almost pulled my hair out as my phone froze 10 times a day and I had to remove my battery (this is when I have my 1 gb sony msd in) it's a k750c (I had a different firmware then you guys r1c004) it's unbranded btw.
after I removed the memory stick it worked right away hope it works for those having problems too just make sure you install the usb SERVICE UPDATE drivers as well they were mentioned earlier here, if you missed them here is a direct link:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/d[....]_Update_Service_USB_driver.zip
you install these when it asks you before the press c thing just unzip them and locate the folder.
hope this firmware fixes the freezes if it doesn't there will be hell to pay >.< I didn't pay 600+$ for a phone and memory stick to have to remove the battery 10 times a day |

ok now that the new update service is available, for those who have updated, can you confirm the freezing problem has been fixed as well as the phone restarting on its own problem, has that also been fixed? sorry if this has been asked before.
thanks

sorry this may sound a little bit dum
but do i have to install the old usb driver then the update one or it is enough to install the update only because you know the old one holds 260KB sized files while the update is only 8.9KB ???????????
your reply will be enormously appreciated:) |

Now is the swedish version of the Sony Ericsson Update Service for the SE K750i available!
For further information, take a look at Välkommen till Sony Ericssons uppdateringstjänst.
Enjoy!

what you need to do is restart your computer in safe mode and do a system restore to a time before you tried the update as it will not ask you for the drivers again, preferablly a day before, now when you update it will ask you for the drivers like last time.
As for the memory card for me the only way I got the update to work was to remove it but some people were able to do it with the memory card in (from what I've read). |

Yes it is!
Updated my phone too, my phone crashed about every hour, so I'll let you know if the standby bug is fixed.
BTW.
The phone feels MUCH faster imho.
JBenchmark 1: 3956 (3933)
JBenchmark 2: 348 (338)
JBenchmark 3D High: 114 (92!)
JBenchmark 3D Low: 205 (137!)
( ) = old score

Browsing through and reading SMS is alot faster. With the old firmware there was lagging all over the place when reading and writing sms's... theyre gone now...
I also noted that videoplayback is a tad smoother.
I'll be taking alot of pictures today trying to figure out whats behind the 3.8 - 4.4 camera updates. I'll post back.
