i heard a lot of people complaining about their w910...it shuts down randomly and mp4 video is out of sync (from what i noticed so far at mine - 3 days since i bought it)...installing the latest software doesn't help (it said it was installed - so i reinstalled it - that didn't help either)

my question is: will installing other phone's firmware help? if yes which one?

Hmm well i have two friends with w910's, latest firmware and they have the occasional restarts( not shutdowns)... and the video is occasionally out of sync, so i think it's normal

Well you said you already had the latest firmware, so could you explain "will installing other phone's firmware help?" do you mean installing older firmware?

actually at me they are more like blackouts - screen just turns black (as if i am not using the phone) and it also restarts sometimes

i "fixed" the mp4 problem by converting them into 3gp

and by installing other phone's firmware i meant installing the firmware for other sony ericsson model, other than w910\\w910i... would that work if the phones are very similar?

some models you can use "alternate" firmwares (k800 <-> k810). Not
sure with the w910 though ....
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

videos aren't out of synchronization on W910 in the mp4 format. All u need is to use the correct settings for mp4-encoding and a good software.

I use AnyDVD Converter Professional and my videos are 100% synchorinzed. [addsig]

As glorfingal said phones like k800 and k810 can "share" firmware but that's because they're almost the same phone. I don't think the w910 has a sister phone, unless somebody could correct me
