Updated P1i Firmware from 162024/87(Singapore Latin)/R9H004/R6E30
to 162022/1(World Generic 1)/R9J005/R6F41, using XS++ then SE Updated Service.
However, Chinese fonts could not be used after that. I have tried to find whether someone posted solution somewhere but could not find any. So, I restored back Singapore version again using XS++ then SE Updated Service. (restoring by XS++ only did not restore 162024/87, showed both of two versions.)
Let's wait for updating for 162024/87 or WG1 with other fonts availability.

Hi all,
Shame the camera still has the green tint, I wonder why Sony hasn't fixed this problem :S . Personally I think the camera is a software issue as the hardware is built to exceed the standard in cmos sensor making.
What makes people assume SE is aware of the green tint problem?
And what makes people assume it is software related?
Whatever way, the camera is just about useless unless fixed (which I doubt will ever happen).

Good grief, thats a bit strong isn't it? Useless? I have managed to take lots of good pictures with my P1, which to my untrained eye, look utterly fine - I used my p1 to take pictures on a recent family holiday, which I then printed out our favorites and was pleasantly surprised with the results. I have only seen a green tint when i took test shots of a blank white wall. Something that i'm not going to do in normal use.
I am no expert at digital pictures, I don't even own a proper digital camera, but I *honestly* fail to see what is so bad about the camera on the P1 .

If you're after the phone for it's camera, sell your p1i get a k850, heck even a battery hungry n95 would be better for you!!!
Even a better idea, get a digital camera.
Camera phones will suffer from quality. The green tint is a fault agreed, but my word.. it's not useless..

Its quite simple mate, just follow these steps:
>dwnload XS++ 2.2
>tick smartphone connect and press connect, then do the usual to connect your fone (remove batt, sim, mem card, reinsert battery, hold 'C' and connect)
>once connected go to the GDFS menu on the bottom, and press backup GDFS, once completed dissconnect, remove and reinsert battery, and restart XS++
>connect again and once connected it should show a drop down menu with CDA versions, select P1 WG-1 and press run script, the process should only take a couple of mintues
>lastly, connect into SEUS, it should say that you have a new update available for your fone, start the update, once finished unplug fone and enjoy!
Hey so I followed these instructions. I backed up the gdfs, then closed xs++, reopened it and selected wg1. However, it says gdfs scrip error, couldnt open outputfile, then it says smartphone udpdated and that the gdfs operation was a success. Is this error serious?

Oh and I just reconnected to XS++ and it says i am still with the same cda (87 not wg 1). Should i just try to run the script again?
Nevermind, i was just being an idiot. I got it to work...thanks for the instructions!!!

..Because someone asked (after, well, tearing themselves away from complaining out loud to noone in particular on esato..)? *cough*
And what makes people assume it is software related?
Something is done in the post- processing that clearly isn't hardware- related. So the assumption was that part of, or most of, the problem was software. And possibly that it also had something to do with faulty hardware, or that a fault with the hardware made the software problem worse.
Anyway. I'm not sure, but on my phone now, the tint is basically gone. What I have instead, I think, is more noise in the darker bits of the picture, compared to the lighter parts, at least when there's not much light. So it's not awesome, but it's pretty good now, imo. The smudge on the colours and zoom- points turning up all over seems much better as well..
But.. has anyone seen something like this before? Noise- particles (green) suddenly turning up in parts of the picture on a camera? Seems strange. Random noise, I've seen that, but..

I'm guessing that would be hot pixels. They may show up when you push that sensor (dark environments).
Btw, I highly doubt the green tint is a software problem. Just doesn't make any sense.

Mm. So maybe the post- processing (that's been turned off a bit in the last firmware) just smears the green pixels around, and we get the green tint?
