Just got my w910i today, It's completely unlocked and debranded and according to the service menu it's running R1CA029 firmware. That's not the latest firmware is it?
I tried to update via SEUS this afternoon and it says it's got the latest firmware already.
Any advice on how I can get the latest update on there?

Finally got R1EA033..
No real differences found..few ones noticed..
-Cam driver is better..video recording isn't wavey now when taken fast..
-Globe appears in internet java apps now..
-No reboots at all in this one btw..actually i experienced them very rarely in all previous firmwares also..i donno how ppl experience it so much..but this one hasn't really rebooted..tried pushing it by playin music, using net, typin texts all at once..
Wat other changes you guys noticed?
Btw..cell seems to respond bit faster while playin music as compared to previous firmwares..but yet it's not satisfactory..should really have worked freely despite of playin music.. |

After reading this thread I'm now unsure whether I should buy this phone. I currently have a W800 (had it for 18 months and a bit) and I've just started to get problems with it such as unresponsive joystick and charging (actually its stopped charging now, I have 1% battery left!). So I've decided to get a replacement.
Now since I'm so used to having a reliable phone, I want to ask if getting a W910 is a good idea. My other option is a W890, is that a better choice?
Also, if I buy from O2, what kind of branding will I have? My W800 with Vodafone has absolutely no branding on it and I kind of like it that way.

this f**king phone.
turned it off to put it on charge last night....
and now its bricked its self. it won't plug in to charge( there is no responce ) and then whenthe usb cable goes anywhere near it the left soft key glows red.
so i cant use the update service and so i assume that i can't use the likes davinci team to pull the phone out of it.
(r1da038 t-mobile uk)
edit: forgot to say that i haven't updated or even tried since it came back from repair last. so there is no reason there for it to die.

Place a call with SE. And tell them that you have gathered 200 people who have had enough of problems with their W910i's. Tell them unless they are willing to rectify the problems, "we" are going to bring lawsuit to their front door. |

Just got back from t-mobile store and when i said that my erricson was dead they instantly asked me if it was a k850. I said no and that i was a w910i to which they replied "ohh, the next best thing"... how much confidence does that give you.
however she did say that they would probably just end up giving me a brand new handset which i not gonna complain about as there is a long cosmetic scratch down the screen of the phone 
But still, i had two weeks of flawless working and then it dies, lush phone when it works, but god it doesn't half go wrong.
Anyone else bricked for no apparent reason?

That's good of them giving you a new phone. But they really need to sort out the issues that currently is there. |

Well..all guys have been talking about the "lot of" problems you ppl have been facing with w910i..
I'm using this phone since 3 months..had very very rare reboot problems earlier and slow media player problem..also few small issues..
But with the version R1EA030 all my problems were gone..only the rare reboot remained..
But with R1EA033, even the reboot problem has gone..i tried pushing the phone to all possible limits of multitasking..still no reboot..
So basically, according to me i've got very stable and good phone..
I just want to know wat exactly are the problems you guys face..coz it's strange i dont face any and i use the same phone..
I use unbranded w910i.. |

Here is the low down on my phone. ( or what was - got 16 days till i find out if i get a replacement or repair)
-Build date: 7w43
-Firmware: r1da038 t-mob uk ( they have yet to update to e)
-Memory card : 8gb
-Music total :was 1600 down to 900 at 96kpbs acc+
-Pictures : 1300 ( had 4 files per set of album art though)
-Cam album : 832
-Total crash count since 16dec :76 times 13 self recover the rest needed battery taken out
-Repair count : 4 times. 3 for restarts and 1 for total death (hence it's now gone). Twice this month
-Mega base distorts always when less then two dots below full vol.
-Average battery life (heavy user Walkman on most of the day): 2.5 days. Bearable
- Awful java speeds with low frame rates.
-Back light occasionally stays on indefinitely.
-When ever anything is plugged into the fast port, the keys flash until the Walkman player is activated. Can occasional cause crash.
-Album art is saved in the pictures folder on the file manager. highly irritating.
-"This application uses to much memory"... Fair enough where there are 4-5 applications running, but not after you just turn on and try to go into the main menu!!- Has generated restarts 3 times.
I really can't think of much more, and yes this is all on r1da038.
Feel free to add to this if you want,

Since I got my phone I have had 3 reboots. That is it. There has been no other issues with mine. I don't know why. |
