I`ve just updated my phone via SEUS.I am not happy at all with the new firmware.The over all volume of the mp3 player is lower and the is no diference between the Bass and Mega Bass preset.So how can I go back to my previous firmware. |

Cingular users sure get hosed with their carrier-branded firmware (v. R4EA031):

- Removed option to change startup screen image

- Diminished earpiece volume 
Damned glad I bought my W810 unbranded  I will have to do do with all future mobile phone purchases, it seems. (Until I start my own European-style GSM carrier, anyway!)

I haven't seen much change but yes I do realize that there is hardly a difference between Bass and MegaBass.
One change I saw too was when you send codes to your provider and you get a message back...it no longer scrolls up and down the message is in it's own window.

I have upgraded to R4DB005 and I just noticed something annoying (well for me)
With R4CK003 the profiles were different because you were able to switch or edit them, and I remember that when I connected the handsfree to the phone it changed from "normal" to "handsfree" with icon change and separate settings.
But now it just enables the handsfree icon and it continues in the "normal" one and if I change a setting like muting or something it just changes in normal; because if i want a different one I have to select it manually

nabu28:
I've got the same problems too with last firmware.
BUT - i never got it with MP3,
when i've started to use AAC(m4a) from iTunes 7.0 they appeared -- i'm encoding to 128 Stereo VBR.
382Mhz:
Master reset and card formatting didn't helped.
The BUG IS:
when playing song - at some time silence appears but playback goes on.
Switch to next track make walkman jump to next and next.
If to press Stop and then Play -- Walkman says -- "Cannot play file" (my SE interface language is russian, but the meaning is the same).
Reboot phone - playback works .... for 20-30 mins and then again. 
I'm now testing NERO AAC encoder and CD-DA extractor (which has codecs from Coding Technologies, which developed aacPlus)

I've made tests whole day and find out next:
tracks encoded to AAC by iTunes 7.0 makes Walkman to loose its mind and stop working correctly.
The bugs appears after 10-25 min of playback.
AAC tracks encoded via Nero Digital Encoder and Coding Technologies codecs (ones with Easy CD-DA Extractor) played for hours without any problem.
If someone could do the same test to be sure, it'll be great.
p.s. Hope it helps to someone. |

@ kenjibatusai
I've had nothing but R4BD005 and don't not have the problem you described. I have two wired headsets (HPM-70, HPM-82) and two  ones (Jabra JX10, SP500). All activate the "Handsfree" profile when connected, and revert to the prior profile when disconnected.
Check the Accessories list in the Handsfree profile on your phone. One of the entries should be "Portable h-free," which refers to the  wired headsets.

Here's a bug that I find with R4DB005 (UK Orange branded),
- don't think I've read about it elsewhere (so is it just me ?):
Playing an .M4A music file, if I pause the music then re-start it, sometimes the stereo image seems to go off to one side. It keeps playing, just sounds really weird. Pausing it again sometimes fixes it.
Anyone else get this ?
- Steve

Upgraded to R4EA031 yesterday. Battery cover was stuck, so couldn't take out the sim before update  Went ahead, upgraded without any faults. Post update, haven't really noticed any flaws from previous version R4CK003. Still haven't really found bout the longer batt life. High volumes in the Walkman r still sufficiently high to make me listen at 'bout 50% volume for majority songs. Will try out the AAC incompatibility thingy. Walkman is not skipping any songs, till now (3-4 hrs' use). SO far, So good 
Oh, n yes, had prob with auto-switching from normal to handsfree on plugging HPM 70 as mentioned by kenjibatusai on 2006-10-13, restarted the phone once, n voila! it wass back to as it should be )
