No new features sorry. They have just speeded up the menu's. I was using R2A*** before the upgrade. So it's a great improvement

Could you confirm that R7A005 is available on the EMMA II server?

Regards,

Roger



as virtualdynamix have written.... R7A is available as testversion for one EU version and one US version. It's only available for T68i, not for MMS upgraded T68m phones.

Have compared R6A with R7A in a network simulator, and it seems as R7A has some improvements on reception.

the address is http://emma.extranet.sonyericsson.com
but you have really no use for it... to access the firmware and the flash program you need special flashing equipment...

Thanks for the update. Currently I'm using R6A012. So I wait for the final R7XXX release. It's a good thing that R7XXX (maybe) has some improvements on reception. Why does SE release a test-version when R6A012 is quite reliable? Normally I should expect a reason...or is it usual that they release test-versions?

Regards,

Roger

they release test versions, but normally these are only available at for internal testing and at the advanced repair center... but for some reason they have released it to other servicepoints as well...

Is there any chance that they would loose these little small graficalplates with info and start showing it in the display instead?
That would really speed things up.

R7A is a bit more stable... but a new firmware is not the whole solution... the hardware part of the problem is the shieldingcan (metal plate between the curcuit board and the back cover)...

read in the following threads about the versions after yours... R7A is now removed from the firmware server... this might mean it will be available as offical release soon.

R5D007
R5C001
R5A020
R6A012 / R6A012 II
