Speaking of which, i don't think the light sensor works very well!
On my k850 it worked a charm. In dark rooms the screen wouldn't be so bright or if you put your finger over the sensor the screen would go darker.
But on my C905 the screen never seems to change brightness no matter what room you're in, daylight or night time?

ive seen this happen once on a k810 which was wierd..it seemed to have had a bottle neck effect (soo much happening at once at the end it just couldnt squeeze all of it out at once)with it and the k810 couldnt hack it or something..everything went all laggy and crash+restarted.

i hope the branded c905s arent all like the above
bold; it sounds like they run like the w910/k850 - a little laggy..^thats what it sounds like..
hmm concerns..
next best thing would be to flash the c905 to customized firmwares

For me it doesn't seem to work at all!
Just did a quick test (holding the phone under a lamp, then covering the sensor with my finger) and nothing seemed to happen. Perhaps the programmers thought it was a video call camera too

The screen froze for about 5 seconds, then went black for about 15 seconds and went back to the wallpaper like nothing had happened lol

Didn't think it worked at first, but yes it does. Cover the sensor with your finger, wait a second and watch how the screen gradually goes darker! Easy to see when in an unlit room with the phone directed towards the stong light from a window.

It does as well! I guess i must have been used to the K850 making it really obvious, it looked like it was just dimming because you hadn't touched any keys for a while. Thanks!

Playing around with my gf's brand new c905 since yesterday:D
It's a pity that it doesn't have a video camera; not that I'd use it but it's a £360 phone. I'm buying the phone on a contract on Wednesday probably, can't wait!
I've got a couple of questions:
Yesterday I flashed the phone with the customized western eu firmware. So far so good, no problems at all (and believe me, I was torturing it the whole day). I was wondering, what exactly is the customized firmware? What's the difference from a plain generic? Just for the record, the phone was on orange uk and the firmware sucked so badly and was so laggy. Huge difference noticeable right away.
Also, what's the little black whole near the ear speaker? it's right where my k800's video call camera is, but there's no cam.
Lastly, I hate the Orange logo on the phone, under the screen. I was wondering if it was just stuck over the normal cybershot logo, because it seems like it to me.
It does have a video mode. When you'r in camera mode press the hardware button nexto the shutter button. It toggles beween still a video.
As for the firmware, I presume you used DaVinci to flash. Davinci calls generic firmware "Customized". Don't know why...it's confusing to begin with...but the Davinci customized is the SE generic.

Hi All,
Which is the best web browser to use with the 905? The default Sony one seems to display mini HTML pages or something.

Yes, if you rebrand to a customised firmware you will lose all the orange branding and programmes and icons etc. It will have the original SE themes. And you'll have to reload the organge settings...but you can do that from the SE website and get automatic settings sent to you as messages.
But you're phone should run much fast and smoother without all the extra orange stuff.
If you don't like the customised/generic firmware you could always use Davinci again to reload the orange firmware.
