Hey, I got lazy and stopped reading the comments so if this has already been answered sorry. I just hope the kinks have been worked out of the black and pink one! I have just contacted orange as I have the wi pink, which keeps freezing and switching itself off.
Turns itself off, goes straight to answerphone, terrible browsing, battery runs out super fast when 3g and using internet. Infact the latest one they sent me is even worse!

I can upload the address book details onto my MAC address book but it wont go the other way! Log in to Reply bethh says:. October 18, am. Log in to Reply Emily says:. October 22, pm. This is seriously a very lousy update program. All drivers are installed and everything is in place. So I wait. Nothing happens. The flash page shows a cyclic progress bar. I wait for a few minutes and then go out. Then I turn it off.
Anybody out there who can help??!! Fahad, I would advise you to try being a little more polite online. If you are both wrong and impolite, you are seen as an idiot. Of course my PC was compatible.
I did manage to upgrade the phone eventually. Perhaps my problem was using a modern operating system Windows XP? The post refers to the old software because the post is from March , which you would have spotted if you took a closer look at the article or the trail of comments following it. Still, even though the article is very old, it is apparent that people still have the same problems I had — see Kartiks comment from December 2nd above.
The phone was originally on a Vodafone contract but was professionally unlocked after the end of the contract. SEUS software worked fine for me, no probs at all. Removing the battery resets it. Just bought a P1i. I tried anything I could think of different software versions, reinstalling, rebooting PC, with and without the phone connected initially, different USB plug, restarting the phone….
Nothing happened. I tried it a few dozen of times while changing various aspects of the setup, but to no avail. Of course there is no information about how long you are expected to hold the button pressed, but I gave it two or three minutes which becomes frustrating when you have tried it about 20 times in different configurations.
In the future, I hope S-E will focus more on usability and reliability, instead of bling-bling. Just imagine if all the resources spent on cute Flash animations had been used for quality assurance instead.
I have to say I am pretty stunned that Sony Ericsson are still relying on this crap software after two years have passed. I have a P1i and now regret buying the phone. I had used a k earlier and had liked the phone, but this phone is utter crap. As a business user, this phone is just a waste of time. SE has spent money only on flashy graphics. On Macromedia version problem, download flash using IE instead of Firefox. I guess IE installs some type of ActiveX controls. I was about to update the firmware on my k Thank god i stumbled across these posts.
On another computer without FireFox installed it works fine. I had wi and wi and succesfully updated firmware several times. The app is indeed lousy how much I hate flash… but all in all updating firmware is really cool. Though they should have written somewhere in a more visible place that holding C button makes phone hardware switch into a different mode designed for flashing and thus since it behaves like a completely different device to Windows requires a separate driver install.
Not a problem for me, minor inconvenience at most, but could be surprising for some. I heard that in case of other brands that is not necessarily the case, leaving users helpless and requiring visit to a service point.
I have a dutch Ki for over half a year now. After a while I started noticing that pictures and music were getting corrupted, so I bought a Memory Stick and store my files there now, and it seems to have eliminated that problem for time being.
I also read somewere that upgrading your phone will sometimes cause it loose its ability to function in languages other than English, anyone experience with that? It might — but it is hard to say.
Have you tried reinstalling the SE software on the computer you are using? I would try that first. But remember to stick very closely with the guidelines on the SE support site, whatever you do. Hi thanks for the suggestion. I tried uninstalling it several times unsuccesfully, and after restarting my computer for the xx time, it uninstalled itself without me asking for it looked creepy, since by screen went black, and only the uninstal window was present but finally it was uninstalled.
Well, that is a great feature. I bought my Wi just recently and it has the latest firmware. Has anyone ever updated a phone through the integrated Update Service? Tried to install and update my Ki with Update Service 2. Held the C-button in and connected the phone to the USB cable as instructed. The computer froze totally. Had to pull the plug. I am stunned. Never again will I buy a Sony Ericsson. Worthless piece of crap. I think your pc crashed when Windows detected the phone.
So that is probably not the fault of SEUS. Once you got the drivers installed, disconnect the usb cable restart the SEUS things all over again. I recently updated the firmware and much to my chagrine, found it slower. I can live with that. No help. So essentially the firmware has rendered my phone useless.
No more Sony Ericsson device for me. After reading this post, I found help in this other post:. The problem of the update service is two things. The device USB drivers for the phones are installed when you install Sony update service software.
Flash meaning to flash or re-flash a microchips memory, not flash player like Macromedia Adobe. Hope this helps some, and maybe even Sony to improve there software. For me, I needed to update the flash player using Internet Explorer, not Firefox. Hope this helps. Thanks for the info and the detailed response, it gave me a good laugh but at the same time an uneasy feeling as I got some errors on my phone at random when booting up.
I have the p1i and decided today is the day that I need to sort out the errors as it gave me kern-exec errors at start up and then the phone just reboots the whole time. The only way to sort it out would be to take out the battery and then wait like 10 minutes and if you are lucky the phone will start up without any errors. I think what caused the errors was when I did a backup the cable came out by mistake while the backup was in progress so when I started up the phone I got the errors at random.
I downloaded the SEUS from the Sony Ericsson website, installed, selected my language and phone and proceeded to do the upgrade. I pressed the c button, it installed the drivers needed and downloaded the files needed for the upgrade. It took about 10 minutes for it to download while I was just hoping the while time my connection would not die.
After the download it took about 5 minutes for it to update the phone software. I removed the phone and started it up. It all worked fine without any problems, all I needed to do was install my apps again, most of them was on the memory card and just prompted me on the phone start up to install them.
One or two apps I had to uninstall and reinstall but they worked fine after the install. All in all I think they did improve the update service of the phone and it all worked fine for me. After an hour unpluged it. Nothing had changed. Everything ok now. Thank you so much for the info, I am delighted.
I can confirm that the sucky process has improved little. You still get no notification to remove the SIM, the odd driver install thing stil happens unflagged and you still have to restart the app unflagged to make it work. Cheers for the review on how to update my phone. Your explanantions were far better than the Sony instructions.
SONY please employ this man as your Comms are crap and obviously Sony have no one employed for their operational comms. Good article!!! I am having with my phone wi right now. Yesterday i tried updating it through the SE Update Service, I followed all steps but I forgot the most important one.
It was going to start the update process when the program asked me to charge my phone. I disconnected the phone from the computer and I connected it to the power outlet. The phone was still off, no sign of anything, so i tried turnin it back on, then the phone didnt do anyhting,, the phone didnt want to turn on, i still left it chargin the whole night just in case. The next morning I repeated the process of SE Update Service and it told m e that i needed to charge my phone.
Obviously the phone didnt charge, and i think it is because the phone is not on. I called SE support and they couldnt help me. My hope is to charge my phone externally with the help of another alike phone or something like that.
Unfortunately I dont know anyone with this same phone. I updated the firmware on my w after having made a backup. All data on phone and card disappeared and the phone does not work with PC suite. Is it not time they got their acty together! As soon as I remove the mobile, the PC Comes back.. After doing this… the phone never came up again!! Its completely dead.
Still when I connect the phone with USB cable to a computer, the compu will halt. I have tried this with three different PCs. Really strange behavior. Well their update service certainly still is lousy! I need help. While trying to update my SE Pi, after he installation i got the error message that the battery was not fully charged and the update was unsuccessful.
Since then the phone is dead. On trying to update it again, i am getting the message that the software is current and no update is required. This is strange, now i am without a cell, literally.
Can anyone guide me as to what i need to do. If the firmware update fails part way through, retry the SEUS. If the update consistently fails you will need to perform a Master Reset on your phone. It is likely that you will be required to perform a Reset All - a settings reset is unlikely to do the job.
It is recommended to use a tool such as MyPhoneExplorer to create a backup of the data on your phone before performing a Master Reset. Note that you will still lose any games, themes or ringtones present in your phone's memory. The use of third party solutions will theoretically void your warranty although in practice the phone vendor is unlikely to notice so should only be used in preference to SEUS for debranding purposes or updating a problematic phone locked out of SEUS by the service provider.
Posted: Hey guys, I have started a firmware overview for the Wi, as a lot of people seem to be having issues with the phone. Please let me know of any bugs or issues that you encounter with the phone. Also, if anyone can let me know the CDA of branded phones Posted: Games and applications, when says Operation Failed Phone restart bug This is my 3rd Wi
