I was going to go to a professional service, I don't wanna try this at home and screw up my phone...
So updating the firmware and unlocking the phone are 2 different things?Darn it will cost me a fortune  )
Thx.

They put a protection plastic wascher under the joystic and this to avoid any particles to enter there and damage it .. its something new which Service Points do now days ..

@k790fan - doesnt need to cost much SEUS is free and Davinci is about £5 for a credit to unlock from Orange. If worried about screw-ups then just unlock - dont bother with R1CA though I have flashed my K750, K700 and K500 countless times without errors.
@night_66 - thx, am thinking of sending my K750 for repair under warranty when the K800 arrives.

Hi all
was at one of Sony Ericsson´s Service Points in Southern Sweden, they fixed my W800i Joystik and its working great.. they updated to latest firmware which is the same in SEUS right now !! No new Update avaible since many months !!
I guess they will NOT release any new Firmware for W800i unless its needed if they discover many bugs ..

what did they do with your joystick?
and which firmware is on your phone right now? |

@ g-roxx0304
I had some problem with my joystick and the standby time ..
I went to the Service Point in Southern Sweden called CR Service in Åkarp .. they changed the Joystick and put a plastic or rubber washer around the joysic to avoid any dirts coming inside and effect the functionality of it (This is what the service guy told me ) .. besides they changed the battery .. and the speaker box too !!
The Firmware is the latest which is in SEUS and even at service point, its this one : R1BC002 ... So still no new F/W availble since 3 months ..

check if it has free phone memory first. atleast 1mb should be enough for safety.
i remember that when i updated my cousin's k750, the camera still had its old version. so i tried to free up some memory from the phone. the drawback was to master reset the phone. erasing all personal data.
enjoy updating

Vibrating is more a hardware problem than software. You'd better see a technician. If it works under Service Menu, no problem then.. |
