hi there, i too have these problems and im on the old 35 firmware.
I also need to update...but when using SEUS... and i do what it says when plugging in my phone... i always get the SEMCBOOT driver install..and it always fails.
I use Vista 64. can anyone help me please?
Also another problem i have is that when in calls, sometimes the ear speaker seems to cut off....so that i cant hear the person on other end...then suddenly it comes back on. Anyone else have this problem ?
Thanks |

Yes, those drivers are problematic. You have to manually install the drivers.
Unpack "USBFlashDriver.zip" to somewhere you can find them. The file is located in: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Sony Ericsson\\Update Service\\setup\\drivers". Assuming you have the software installed at that location.
The next time you plug in your phone to flash, select the folder you unpacked that stuff in. Make sure you mark 'include subfolders' as well. |

Hi everyone,
I've had this phone for a week, I think it's ace, not had the problems people have been talking about, except that very occasionally mp3 playback pauses for half a second (I counted this twice in one hour, didn't bother me really).
Thought I would upgrade the firmware anyway as SEUS said there was a newer version available (I'm on O2 / Genie in the UK) and before I spent ages putting all my settings on there. The update software is a bit lame not supporting Vista 64, as BloodAngel also found above, so had to use an old laptop with WinXP 32bit.
Phone manufacture date: w24 2008
I think old firmware was R3??035 (can't remember the ?? value, yeah I really should have written all the versions down...) now the firmware reports R3CA033, I was expecting 038?! Surely I haven't managed to downgrade my phone, I noticed my Java version is now later (8.3.0 -> 8.3.1) so guess I am ok... can anyone in the UK on O2 confirm that R3CA033 is the latest FW revision for us?
Since this firmware upgrade I did have my first crash & reboot, I didn't have any before the upgrade. I was playing mp3 audio, running the GPS and fiddling around in service mode at the time...
On a slightly different subject has anyone got the USB internet via computer LAN working? The phone registers a USB ethernet emulation network, and I enable internet connection sharing (ICS) on my LAN connection, but when trying to connect to the internet on the phone it seems to try get data from the USB connection but ends in a communication error. I've tried Vista 64 and Windows XP 32 with all firewalls etc disabled. Looking at the network status window there does seem to be a few packets being exchanged.
Thanks  |

Hi,
I too have had the random reboot issues which seems to usually occur when I try to send an SMS...and the phone displays a message saying "Inactive SIM"....vibrates for a second, the reboots.
But I also get the 5 seconds of silence during voice calls occasionally..!
I have tried the Sony Update service and it always tells me that no update is available.
I bought my phone via an on-line store and it is an 08W24 manufactured in Malaysia.
Current software is R3BA035...
Please Help...someone...? |

R3BA is the first firmware it comes with the phone, right now there latest is R3DA032
try flash it from third part http://davinciteam.eu or http://www.wotanserver.com but it's not free.. cost you around 10euro.. but I think it's worth a try if you can't update via SEUS
goodluck

I lolled. Check the edited part in the right hand corner next time. I had this and it sucked for me. It rebooted to many times the 5 second thing happened for every call and it was very glitchy, |

I got today a w760. I was wondering if it is possible to use internal gps without having to use internet connection for showing the position in a map.
If you use Wayfinder, it will instantly connect and download maps. I dont want to use Google maps either.
Thanks. |

May I ask what phone you are using and if it is indeed the 760 how the hell did you find it too good? That was the lowest sound in an SE I ever heard and I hope they never do something as idiotic as it again. |
