HelpSony Ericsson’s three top models have just received an update to fix some of the problems and bugs in the firmwares. While I have not noticed many bugs in W960, the K850 and W910 does indeed pack quite a few, especially because they were among the first A200 offerings. I have just updated my K850, and Sony Ericsson has definitely been working on this firmware release, that’s for sure! It’s much faster in general, no more lagging in Media, new effects and much faster working in Media, 3D games in particular run much more smoothly now. The camera has been much improved as well, and same goes for video recordings. Another fine new feature is that you can set the phone to vibrate when using the touch sensitive buttons – this works quite well.
Now for some technical stuff. The K850 firmware is called R1EA031, and is not a major release. The W910 firmware is called R1EA030, and has pretty much the same improvements as with the K850. The W960 firmware CDA is called R6G02, and I have yet to decide whether I’ll update my W960 or not. I am liking it as it is now, so there’ll have to be either new features or improvements for me to update

Krzysiecw,
No, that’s not correct. It’s still located on the CS server / domain.
b0nistio,
Check out esato.com or my-symbian.com – there are ways to change your phone’s CDA, so it can be updated!

Upgraded to new firmware on the w910 bout a week ago n found that my application icons when using shortcuts disappeared, still vibrates when using a certain ps3 theme as standard on fone. Runs smoother n a tad quicker but overall themes r just laggy n the fone memory just cant handle quick users.

I have the W910i. I am really disappointed that the camera can’t zoom. I need a camera which can take good shots of dogs, as i like to take several photos per day of dogs i am working with or training. However, i keep getting “Zoom not possible in this mode”. I tore my hair out for a while until i read that the zoom does’nt work unless you lower the res right down to a very useless 0.3MP resolution. What a MAJOR disappointment. Other than this problem i love the phone. Anyone know if new firmware updates will solve this, or is it a permanent problem with the W910?
Thanks, great site by the way

P.S. i had the K850i but i HATED that phone. The camera quality was superb, but the fact that it often crashed when i was using it (and the shutter often failed to open) meant that i had to downgrade to a lesser resolution of phone, but one which at least worked. Shame i now find i can’t zoom, making it almost as useless as the K850i.

Hi Dogs,
It’s digital zoom, so there’s no need for being able to zoom, as it would just crop your photo to VGA resolution anyway (0.3 MP). The best result you can get, is by doing a full size photo, and then crop it on your phone or in Photoshop.

For now, latest firmware is R1EA037
Is there any issues that a new firmware will be out?
If yes, when?
I heard a rumour about R3 Firmwares on K850i
Does someone know about this?

How can you say that the w960 runs “fine”. I’m throwing myself over this. The phone is slow as shit.
