> New firmware for P990i out now!
Bookmark topic
I too have a P990i with CDA 162008/64 R3A01
I would like to upgarde the firmware to R9, but SEUS says I have the latest firmware. What I find to be particularly bad is that the phone is unbranded and unlocked, bought from the UK SonyEricsson store, so I would have expected the new firmware to be available by now. I thought I was buying a 'generic phone', but seemingly not!
Has anyone bought an unbranded phone from the UK SonyEricsson store and managed to update to R9?
SE have a lot to answer for, given that when I bought the phone I was told by SE that firmware updates would be available for the phone on SEUS just as soon as the next level of firmware is released.

How does one revert back to old firmware? Maybe that will help my Myspace issues on the web app.

Is there a limit on te size of memory card one can use with the P990?
I've been using a 4Gb card for about 2 months with no problems at all (other than the usual).
I'm off to Barcelona for 3GSM in Feb - if I don't have R4 by then, I'll definitely be swinging by the SE stand

Hey peeps. It took me about 2 hrs to download the new R9 firmware, nothing wrong with my connection though, I think the server was really slow. But it was worth every single second. The highest startup memory I had was 17.4 mb which is about 2 mb more than the previous firmware. That means the ppl at SE did something wonderful with the phone's memory management, and I noticed the phone's not as RAM hungry anymore especially when you close apps, more memory blocks are reclaimed. I would say the phone's finally a stable piece of engineering. No crashes so far and evidently faster. Never thought they'd ever make it this stable, but then again, I'd have to wait and test it for at least a week, maybe then I'll share a more accurate view of my findings

well there are two ways you can format you memory card, one is to plug your fone into your computer with your memory card in it, then right click on the memory card drive in my computer and click format, or you can do it in file manager directly from your fone>
I tried doing it with file manager directly on the phone but that has not helped stability.
Q: Does formatting the memory stick make the P990 more stable?

Problem alert! PLEASE HELP
i've started updating the firmware: it detected a p990i Generic World 2 phone. prompted me to start and took me 3 hours almost to reach 20%.
Then the unexpected happened,the server was said to have gone off and the phone update stopped. Said firmware update failed.
I tried to open the phone and a flashing light of about .5 seconds goes on and on and on...
i guess the phone's screwed!
tried to update the firmware again, and it goes to a new screen where there's a desktop computer and the update goes to a mobile phone. Reaches 17% and restarts the update.
this goes on and on and on....
any help guys, im really kicking sony's ass for this!
