yesterday i got myself a w810i
but i have some troubles http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=121062
now i was testing the camera; but when i use both macromode and flashlight it doesn't seem to work as it's supposed to do.
the light keeps flashing (looks like the sos-function)
is this normal? |

due the incompatability of windows 64bit with sonyericsson software i can't update the software; ... besides can it be fixed with software update? |

1stly what's your firmware???
if you have an active gprs connection then try the update service feature in the w810i. |

i contacted SE about this; and explain the situation.
she told me i can send the phone to a repair center for a sw-update, on the otherhand that's not possible cause there is no newer sw :?

the latest unbranded firmware to my knowledge is R4CE012, see if you can get it on your phone. |

I think this has been covered somewhere else but i can't seem to find the answer so i will ask myself. When i use the light function on my W810i it flashes slowly. It is NOT in sos mode it is in the 'ON' mode. Any ideas??? Apart from that i think it's a great handset. Shame it isn't available in white as i have 1 of each of the SE range and love the W800i and W900i. Oh well, black it is (just like all the rest of the handsets)... |

it is when i both use macro and the light to take pictures.
when both options are enabled the light starts to flash, bright,low,bright etc. very very annoying cause it takes 5 attempts to make the picture i like.
i searched the board but can't find a solution |

I rarely use my camera but the macro function is switched off. This flashing happens when i select the light in the on position then after a few seconds it starts to flash Intermittently. Annoying as i use the light function at work. I have a sim free handset and the software is the latest version too. |
