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 
So are you saing that it is not major release ? Will be something else ?

I think there’s an APAC firmware as well, so should apply to yours. You can download the Sony Ericsson Update Service application at SE’s website.

woo hoo! i’ve been waiting for some sort of firmware update for the k850 to fix the issues i’ve heard of from reviews. now i can finally upgrade from my good old w810!
does this update fix the slow acclerometer response or is that coming up in the next “major” update?

There is no slow accelerometer response. Sony Ericsson has developed it so that it checks every second, and if there are any changes, it switches mode.

oh ok i just remembered watching a video of someone demo’ing the k850’s accelerometer on the picture viewer and he always had to tap on the handset just to make it respond.
it might just be me but i’d feel awkward having to tap my phone everytime i wanted to show my pics off. =D

I have a W910i on Vodafone and this afternoon there was no update. I’m not sure what region mine is but I live in New Zealand (South Pacific or Asia Pacific maybe?). Is there any chance you know when Vodafone updates will be available?
I’m not too worried as I don’t have many problems, just 3D games run terribly slow! Also, the media player could be faster. So I want an update but it’s not urgent lol.
Cheers.

Krzysiecw,
Unfortunately I cannot do that, as SEUS locked my K850 when trying to force a second update, as it had flashed it from NORDIC to ADRIATIC the first time. Am quite pissed about that really, never thought that would be possible.
cliosguy,
Cool stuff with the YouTube player! Careful with your data usage, though
The avatars are chosen based on your posts, name and email address. There’s no way to choose one yourself, as it’s completely automated (plus, I think it’s funnier this way – not knowing what you’ll get when posting for the first time, I mean).
Dan Spark,
No, that’s not possible.
