EH HELLO senninha? u CANT compare the W880 and W910. they both have different firmwares! and mine is quite good already among those W910 in the first batch (no hardware problems watsoever) or even major software problems that many ppl had to go to SE for. and i really get pissed off when i see some rich idiotic bastards change their phones just because it lags and they are idiotic enough and dont know whats SEUS...

well we cant blame them.its still SE's fault,they should have tested the new fw b4 releasing it into the market.if im in the same situation as them,i would be piss off too,given the hefty price tag (whn 1st launched) and its status as a high end walkman phone.

i have a problem free W910i too,haven't had any random restarts since i bought it 6 months ago,except during multitasking and it lags the phone heavily.rly pity those who had problems wif the phone,and kudos to SE for releasing a phone without heavy testing.its quite a waste imo,dis could have been a rly good phone without those lag and hangs.

precisely. W880 runs on the A100 platform and W910 runs on the A200 platform, the first example of which was the K850. and because launching a new platform is a pretty major thing, i decided to wait it out on the sidelines a bit to avoid a lot of the initial teething problems. that really goes for any new product, not just phones. (not to mention that waiting a few months also brings the price down quite a bit )

i'm pretty happy with my W910 now and the only real problem i have with it is the lag when playing music. but given some more time, i trust that SE will sort it out. and i'm pretty confident that this is a phone i will keep for quite a while!

My W910i constantly restarts around 10-15 times a day !! It happens some times while using the walkman player, or in texts, or in games and i dont multi-task i only use one aplication at a time, i only use my phone for 20 mins max a day, i tried clearing up my phone memory but that helped for a week max. Got latest firmware and that is what started of all the problems !!! Before the update 2-3 restarts a week, now this!! I updated it with the same firmware again using sony update service but no help !! Also on my last firmware update it caused a problem with the walkman player, there is now a 3second delay when clicking on a song to play , unfortunatley this is my second one !!! BUT, my second one was reconditoned (tight carphone warehouse) so maybe that was the problem !!! Any one got any ideas???

the 3-second delay is normal for the new firmware, but the restarts... i dont have that much lol. maybe you just got a bad set, which cant be helped.

guys, i hope this was answered already or something, but someone please help?

my friend paid 900usd for this phone. i could have fainted when i heard that! and the phone is giving a lot of problems.

It crashes a couple times i think but, the strange stuff that happens are:

1) Walkman player button and menu icon no longer opens walkman. Walkman feature isnt even opened! He said this happened when they placed another 2gb m2 in the phone

2) Media is the only way to access the items now. But when i placed an 8gb m2 in it, it loaded all the songs,etc in media and played movies, but now when we replace the original m2 that came with the phone, it does load any songs or anything from the original m2. If i re-insert my 8gb, it take forever to load the media and then crashes!

3) When you try to open games/applications, it says operation failed.

Guys you think i should try and update with SEUS? is this advised? i am afraid because although i updated phones via seus, i dont want to destroy his phone.

BTW his F/W is R1CA029_China

Please help me?

Wow, 900 usd! that's insane.
Also most of what you mention there is the characteristics of the first firmware of the phone- which made many people fall out with the handset.
i doubt that SEUS will destroy his phone IMO it'd doing that for him. SEUS will not void any warranty and will not change any files. so i would HIGHLY recommend/insist that an update is the best thing to do.

I had the exact same issues with my phone. Upgrading the phone with SEUS didn't fix them. I had to go to a SE Service Centre and have them reflash the phone. Now it works perfectly!

0blivion, thanks soo much for the reply bro. i know it wouldnt kill it, i jus wasnt sure about these db3150 phones . i will insist that when they come by my home next time to update it!

and yes, they paid 900usd! for the same package you would have paid for the 2gb package for 400usd. They knew nothing about phone prices. They could have bought two w910's!

Zito, Damn, here in trinidad we dont even have a SE service center. And well db3150 flashing isnt free yet! so they might have to wait. Im glad your phone works now. Because if i had a phone from SE that did all of that and i had to pay to fix it, i would surely switch to nokia. of course thats not the case, i dont own a db3150 phone... yet... maybe soon

Thanks soooo much guys for the reply! When next they visit i will update it with seus and see how that goes. I will let you all know.
