Funny thing: my elm didn't even have the facebook widget when I bought it, and it still doesn't have it after the update! And it gets even weirder: when I go to the official SE website and navigate to the walkmate info page and select Elm, it says walkmate is not supported by the phone!

Okay... What is going on here now? http://www.sonyericsson.com/c[....]ones/overview/k970?cc=ae&lc=en
Apparently j10i2 elm has been renamed to K970?

Well, I decided to re-install the new firmware using SEUS, rather than using the phone's software update menu, and surprisingly it said there was new software. So I update, and when finished, it seems that it had reverted back to R7BA076. Not only that, because now my calendar and walkmate widgets are completely gone! It doesn't even show the little green triangle above 'Menu' in the home screen anymore. On top of that, all of my games and apps that were stored on the memory card have been erased, and the Grocery List and Checkbook apps have been reverted to the broken ones where it only says "undefined" for everything (I had purchased them earlier from PlayNow, to fix them).

Wait, hang on. I rebooted my Elm, and the calendar and walkmate widgets are back! AND AND AND, they work properly again. So if you updated to using the phone's software update menu and your widgets are broken, reverting to R7BA076 using SEUS is the way to fix the widgets. IF you are prepared to lose all of your downloaded apps and games on the memory card.

@ reeflotz : Oh ok.. I was planning to upgrade to hazel. My question is 'Will firmware updates fix the camera problems?'

@degraaff : Reverting back to the old firmware fixed the widget problems? What about those red blue lines in the camera?

It did fix the widgets yes, but those lines in pictures seemed less significant in the newer firmware, although I'm not sure. There are no official notes to be found about this new firmware...

What do you mean by "phone customization? The firmware version? As I wrote in post #13, I reverted back to the previous firmware, to wait untill they release an update with working widgets.

My current firmware is:
