Thru SEUS. People use SEUS and try updating their phone. The update service application will tell if there's an available new firmware for the phone.

Just be patient. The W800i firmware is due to be released in the near future. Do you really needs it that badly. My phone is running ok on R1AA008. (Which wasn't the case with R1NA005) I will upgrade when available and see if there are any improvements, but hey ... Chill out!

Yes.  I need it badly, even though it's still uncertain whether the Walkman player hiss noise will be fixed in the upcoming FW.

I finally got my K750i fixed by the SE service center (the one I told you guys about earlier that "died" after a mysterious partial SEUS update). That was the reason why the phone wasn't powering up and not responding to repeated attempts to try to update it. Anyway, it appears the phone's battery ran out during the update which caused the partial update and messed up the firmware - funny but I am 100% sure that the battery was fully charged prior to the update - - which leads to me wondering if the SEUS process takes up a lot of battery power - that's why it used up so much of my battery during the process??? Wierd!
Anyway, phone's back to normal with the updated firmware which the SE service people installed themselves. Too bad though coz I lost a lot of my data (good thing though I did a backup of my contacts a week ago so all I lost was a week of new contacts)!
Whew!!! What an ordeal!
No problems so far and the responsiveness of the phone has improved! |

Is the new firmware out only for the K750 or is it also for the W800? |

Somebody aready mentioned this, but could you update your first post with the fact that games run a LOT faster on the new F/W?

Just updated mine K750i and it went like smooth sailing. It took around one hour in total (i am not using DSL!) which includes the time in which some updates were also installed on my update service programme, by the way i am using the most updated one which is the d verison i guess.
All went without any issue not even any minor. For past 48 hours i was not able to even connect and now its done. SO the lesson is to just relax and it will work fine with the period of time. |

@SE7
the download on SE website is for the D version, but it is an old version upon starting it you were automaticly updated to the latest version 2.6.3.3,
Click on HELP and then About in SEUSII (you will see version number)
No matter which version of the installer you use for SEUS II it will always update you to the newest version before launching main application.

1. No more hissing sound when making call. Good fix
2. Screen has richer colour.
3. No significant increase in sound volume..
4. New firmware detects MXE-60. Flash fires without problem.
5. Joystick more responsive.
It is definitely an improvement from the previous firmware.
Well done... Sony Ericsson

Updated 1 more K750i on another PC without any problem.
For people having problem, try the following:
1. uninstall the PC suite and download latest PC suite and install.
2. download USB driver and install (if PC suite cannot communicate with
phone)
3. connect phone to PC suite an ensure that PC suite can recognize phone
4. download and install latest update service software.
5. following instruction after starting the update service program
6. sometime, there may be contact problem at the USB connector and the
phone input connector. Try re-connecting..
7. Good luck and enjoy the improved firmware.
