Thanks, how do I do that?
The phone is completely unresponsive. The Vodafone start screen comes up and then the phone just freezes there.
Tried taking out the battery and sim card but nothing works!
Damn FW update!!!! |

Simply go into this folder:
C:\\Program Files\\Sony Ericsson\\Update Service\\db
and delete all its contents.
Then start the update service again... and follow the instructions. |

Guys why is that you have those problems with your phone? Mine got faster is response,no problem with calling and wifi.What i only noticed is the UI is more faster than before. |

How do you all who say 'its faster now' measure this? With a timer? I cannot see or feel that this is any faster or slower then before! I did not use a timer yet 
As for the rest, nothing changed so far. Must have been a very minor update as I predicted.

The phone feels "faster" because people wish it is faster and that strongly influences their perception. Furthermore, the phone is substantially cleaned up after any fresh reflash so it's indeed somewhat speedier, but that does not depend on the firmware itself. Assessing any true speed change requires statistical measurements using a timer, not just subjective feelings.

Not true, I am a heavy P990 user & I can feel any slight changes.

May be yes, but you would feel the same slight change after doing a reflash with the old firmware as well.

Regarding restores of old backups, from trial & error since the previous firmware upgrade, I've found that the best option for me is to do partial restores - contacts, calendar & settings only & one at a time. This does not work for all backups. I've deleted all backups except the ones which do not result in a unstable device, and I have no reboots, problems with wifi, etc doing partial restores of 'stable backups'.

I am so fed up with these FW updates.
Why on Earth is SE not able to deliver a FW so I will never ever have to update the phone again?
Not publishing a change log is a strategy.
Because if they do it, they will let us know what are the real issues with the phone.And that will give us a better view of how deep the problems are.And they do not want that, do they? |

while I agree about the changelog and that SE should at least let us know anything that impacts the UI/performance/features etc, tell me any phone company, or indeed software company, that does not provide updates to their products after they hit the shelves.
Indeed these days its not just software either, many hardware manufacturers provide firmware updates.
Its the nature of most businesses to get products out quickly and deal with the issues later, though perhaps in the case of the P990 and its delays, that isn't quite so true
