Sonyericsson Questions and Updates Thread

Ok to make it easier lets have one thread on this from now on.

Ok first off, How do you fix bugs on your Sony Ericsson?

Easy way:

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/phones/topic/updateserviceapplication?cc=gb&lc=en

How to use


Double-click on the Update Service icon on the desktop.
When Update Service is launched, the application accesses the Internet to download content that is needed to be able to run the service. This may take several minutes, depending on the Internet connection speed. Choose your preferred language and follow the instructions that appear.

For P900/P910.

If the PC Suite is installed, follow these instructions:
Double-click on Phone Connection Link in the system tray. Un-tick the USB port.
Notes

Install Adobe® Flash Player using Internet Explorer™.
The software updates for the phones are 10-65 MB depending on model, and are downloaded when you run the application.


Follow the instructions and update your phone, most if not all new Sonyericsson's are supported.

If you have a W960i/P990i/P1i or any sonyericsson symbian phone this process requires you to back up first as it will wipe the phone clean

Sometimes you may have the latest software but still have issues, this is because your network or operator has customised the phone with special software.
90% of the time this "special" software causes more issues and makes the phone run slower.

To remove this you need to "De-brand" your phone, this is fairly simple but varies between nokias. Im putting together a guide for this for Symbian UIQ (W960i/P1i) and then later A100/A200 phones. (K800i, K850i etc)

Please use this thread to ask questions on problems/issues with Sonyericsson phones

To obtain software information type >*<<*<* into the handset to bring up the service menu. If you include your firmware version in the post we can help you more effectively. (It should look something like R9J005 or RC10038)

Winner - btw, the w960i kicks the sh*t out of the iPhone. It's cheaper and better. Only downside is that I feel a traitor for abandoning my venerable p910i
 
Re: Sony Ericsson updates and questions thread

I've got XS++ on the pc now. Is there somewhere (or someone) I ca get the correct files to flash/de-brand my K850?

Re: Sony Ericsson updates and questions thread

I've managed to update my k850 (De-Brand) via Davinci. £7.84 well spent.

Zero really.

You get track ID (like built in shazam) and obviously better up to date firmware.
Oh and bestpic, but im not sure what that does.

Hi Guys my girlfriends got a W810i and the software of the phone seems to mess up. It seems to get confused with some of the text messages (i.e last nights messages coming through again from a different sender) Anyway I thought I'd update the firmware to see if that helps. Before I do this I want to back up all the settings, contacts and sms saved on the phone so i can restore them later. Is this possible and if so what software do i need to back up the phone.

Yes, you might lose the texts.

if you are really that worried, theres a "backup" to memory card option in the contacts sub menu.
(for contacts only)
 
Thought I would use this thread...

when trying to update a K850i, I turn phone off... hold down C and plug in the USB. Phone comes on and goes into data transfer mode... however my problem lies in that the software doesn't do anything? I can be sat there holding down C for 10 mins as instructed and it just does nothing.

Tom?
