P900 Firmware Upgrade Here!!!

[jettie1767]

The update finally worked for me when I used Netscape 7.1. I tried IE and an older version of Netscape to no avail even with an updated Java JRE.

But, I'm just curious....why do we all have different fw versions after the update? If the version numbers change after the update, does that mean that I have the most current fw?

man my laptop crashes everytime i get to the updating part. i think its my hardware. so i just installed all teh stuff on my roomies comp and now its taking forever to just search for the se updater. i wonder if it is because my internet is a lil slow or is it because se is packed with hofo members tryign to do the same thing. booo

Finally worked! It feels a bit faster, and one major difference is the audio/video sync IS MUCH MUCH better. The audio actually matches the video, I don't know about everyone else but I had audio/video problems on the two P900's I have used, the audio was about a split second faster than the video and it was noticeable. Anyone else notice improved speed/audio+video sync?

hey, i hate to ask and ruin all the fun:

is there a p800 equivalent user installable update? or are we stuck sending em off for updates?

Same here had to install Netscape 7.1 before I could get the Update to run.

No go with IE6

althought it says that my firmware is up to date, I still went and updated my firmware.. now it says:

CDA: CDA162004/14 R2B01

I'm trying to flash the new firmware to my phone (p900) using the SE site and I get this message "there is currently no services for the devices belonging to your operator.
Also. I get this message too
"Your operator does not approve the usage of this service for this device.

We look forward to assist you again soon.

Thank you for using Sony Ericsson Update Service! "

note; I have tried this with the AT&T sim card out and with it in. I get the same results.

how do you guys uninstall the "Demo" application after the firmware upgrade??

Great, I thought I'd save a few bucks and get the Orange P900 from a buddy in the UK. Now it looks like I won't be able to do and firmware upgrades at all here in the states. I would say "forget it" and just get one from Expansys, but my P900 is on a plane over the Atlantic as I type....

I upgraded successfully and captured shots of the process as well. As soon as I can get a host, I'll toss up the pics.

Thank god from Broadband!

For those who are having java problems, Im going to try downloading the software on my un-javaed rig @ work. I expect a manual download & install of the Sun J2E runtime would fix the problems or Sun Java for web

Il know later on

The Site worked great for me! Took about 20 minutes for the update to complete. My phone is unlocked and i had no error or problems!

[nateblonde]

Well for those of you having the same problem as me.
I dont think it has anything to do with having an orange phone or not.
My phone is unlocked and was purchased from sony.
I tried chaging the sim card from ATT to Cingular, still nothing.
I think it might have to do with SBC my dsl provider. I have emailed SE support and maybe they will have answer.

To all you other guys who have done the firmware without any problems and have not help us poor suffering P900 users.
I hope you only get Cancer.
