Hmm...how often do FW upgrades come out, anyway?
No problems with R4A so far? |

sometimes very often... sometimes not so often  first came R4A007, then just about one week later R4A008 was released... so sometimes it can be a short time between the releases.... |

I also got R3B006 on my phone.
After i upgraded i have severe problems at some sites when GPRS is activated. This is a problem that is hushed about both by Ericsson and my Mobile Phone Service Provider (Comviq/Tele2) The software revision is not compatible with Tele2:s ALCATEL equipement.
Occationally the phone goes dead and is impossible to turn of etc. I also have problems to get the GPRS symbol to be "black" stating full functionality. If this happens, the phone cant receive any calls either.
On the other hand, if i turn GPRS off in the meny, the phone works like a dream..... |

I got a T-39MC and sw R3B006! IT was imported from Hong Kong, have no t9 input, txt isnt 2 bad. Canada has 1900mhz bandwidth not a band-which refers 2 tdma/cdma phones when travelling 2&from US & Canada. A piconet is 8 devices incl. master. 1900mhz is clearer than Europe, but shorter range. Ericsson Canada told me that i cant flash my phone, is this true?

no, it is not true... ofcourse you can flash it.... it's just a question of finding a  servicepoint.... what I have read here on Esato it doesn't seems as there are many servicepoint in Canada/US... so you might have to send it to another country.

Have just flashed an T39m from R3B to R4A, and when the upgrade was finished, the phone started to show No Net, and search net
Anybodt have a solution to this "No net" problem. The T39 has been on service 6 times, and we have got a new phone 2 times

re: calls during GPRS connections.
you can set it to automatic, but depending on whether you're just surfing the net or downloading files, then you may or may not be able to get calls, and your callers would get busy signals instead. |

Check the sonyericsson.com for the address of the nearest local service point in your area.
Or check from your dealer. |

@Prom,
I had the same problem here in the Philippines. Bought a T39mc in hong kong, P 8,500 pesos only! Only to realize that I had no T9. Luckily I was able to switch with my mom's T39m (she doesn't use T9). I tried everything I could here in the Phil to get them to flash it with T9 firmware but Smartnet and Ericsson said it couldnt be done.
@Gowin, is this similar to your problem where the service point hardware can't recognize the phone. That's how the people in smartnet explained it to me. |
