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?
if I was you id leave it as it is
Can you tell me why you advice that? Since I've seen a lot of posts that advice having the latest firmware for this phone?
theres an old saying "if it aint broke ,dont try to fix it " unfortunately for me I did try to fix it and lost the big clock and got the crackly mega bass,its up to you but if I could turn back time I would have left it as it was
any of you guys with the latest FW -did it fix the big clock and mega bass? |

Do you connect the phone when the phone is off first? But hold C when it asks you to hold C and let go when it asks you to let go? |

@diabu:
You should exit your Sony Ericsson Pc Suite, because that puts your phone into mass storage. At least that was the culprit in my case.
As for the latest firmware, I cannot find R1EA033 on SEUS but I successfully updated to R1EA030. The improvements are pretty much the same as for everyone else, only I noticed a few issues which could also very well be related to my unit, I don't know, nobody else reported them.
First, the little G and E letters are not alway present above the network bars. They sometimes appear after using Internet but are soon gone again. EDIT: I forgot to mention that the volume bars and track notifications also sometimes disappear and a restart is needed to bring them back. However, they're pretty soon gone again. This is really frustrating, the phone seems to have a mind of its own.
There are also no background issues while using the media player in landscape mode on my unit, but the activity menu button sometimes stops working. A restart clears this issue.
Also there have been no restarts for me, and I specifically stressed the phone running 4 java apps and media player. It was slower but no crash.
Anyways, I just wish SE would speed up the phone a little bit in future firmware version. Just my two cents...

yes the phone is turned off - battery is full charged - disconect and reinsert battery then pressing c b4 plugging the usb conn to my phone - but now SE is not telling me to release the C key instead the phone goes to MASS STORAGE mode..
actually i have been updating my phone on the previous FW's and there were no problems, its only now that i I CAN'T UPDATE to the latest R1EA033
anyways i'll also try to exit PC SUITE first b4 ill run SEUS .. but i'll have to wait for my battery to get drained and fully charge it b4 i'll do that 
THANKS THANKS |

@f.b;
Ha yeah i forgot to add the volume controls stop working and it is stuck at the same volume. But its getting less than when i first had it. ( ether that or its restating to much for it to happen)
@ diabu;
What OS are you using? Try reinstalling everything. That tends to work for me occasional, Otherwise i have to pull out the cable when to phone buzzes to go into mass storage and try again. It often takes over 70 attempts to get it to work that way. However if i go over a mates house it always connects first time.
So its not a problem with your phone its with your PC and the drivers etc. Also Vista can be a bit of a pain if your using that, but it does work |

All of u lot have R1EA...
this is my software:
(well this is what is says there)
R1EC001, i guess thats the latest version is it good or bad or what?
Apparently i havent been getting any problems, maybe a couple of times it freezes and some slow-downs, which is a minor thing, not much big things happened on the phones, so is this ok?
EDIT: Meant to write R1EC001 not R1EE001, sorry bout tht.

R1EE001 are you sure?? AE033 was only a week or so ago, then there was EC01, and now your reporting EE :S What network are you on?
Could you take a picture or the service menu, just to prove that this is possible. Not calling you a lier, it's just that it's really hard to believe. |

I don' think Trigz is misreading his firmware. I saw a webpage similar to this one ( http://www.my-se.pl/topics164/1182.htm ) the other day, and it listed many latest "branded firmwares" from different mobile service provider companies that look similar to what Trigz has posted. However, there is a lack of information regarding those firmwares.
I am currently on the R1EA030 firmware, however, to my surprise there are very little response to the massive battery drain with this new firmware on web forums. I was on R1CA029 for about 3 months before i updated, and I could use the phone up to 4 to 5 days on a single charge. After updating to R1EA030 firmware, the battery will only last for 1 to 2 days.
Even though, I am please with the speed boost in R1EA033 but the battery drain is too much of a pay off... I know I can't be the only one experiencing this issue, anyone else agree on this battery heartache?

@ GameKing ;
If you could be bothered to read this thread or even the first post it would tell you the answer to that.
R1DA038 is not the latest for the phones, its been available since December 26th. The latest that i am fully aware of is R1EA033, with unconfirmed versions eg R1EC001 etc
However it all depends on; your network? and, where you are? |

Well then welcome the "let's kill t-mobile for keeping us on R1DA038" club.
In that case your stuck on DA for a bit as t-mobile has yet to update. I Don't know what its happening ATM as my w910i bricked its self, but given that a mate on vodafone has updated to R1EA then it shouldn't be long before T-mobile do to. |
