under about phone, my phone has

build number: r1fa014

I updated from R1FA014 to R1FA016 in April but by using the PC Companion or Update Service software. Have you tried all three ways of updating ? (PC Companion, Update Service software, and the Update Software option in your phone?)

Here are a few thoughts:

1. Maybe in firmware version R1FA014 the option for "Update Software" is either not there, or it's in a difference place. Look around everywhere in your settings.

2. Maybe you can try to uninstall and re-install the PC Companion and Sony Update Service software on your PC? Even or me, For some reason, this software was just saying "you have to latest software".

Mine does too. I think, for the UK at least, you need to root the phone to get it

. I'm still not sure what the benefits of rooting it are lol. And I dont make a lot of calls so, higher call volume doesn't really matter that much to me.

I have same setting as previous poster R1FA014. I'm on branded 3 phone in ireland and it says i'm running latest version when updating from phone. From PC Companion it says "your phone is up to date"

Hope this doesn't mean we'll be last for 2.x in Q3/4 :mad:

The big difference I have noticed between the firmware is the in-call volume on 023 is far superior, that's why I decided to root to get the update.

it is encouraging to hear that your in-call volume on 023 is far superior. Can anyone else on confirm that their in-call volume is better as well? (not doubting you, but would feel more encouraged if a few people say the same).

Cheers

For me the reason to root was to get the 023 update but it also has the benefit of getting rid of unwanted apps that are uninstallable otherwise such as Moxier, PlayNow, Track ID and the original launcher (now replaced with ADW).

No offence taken mate, I personally found the in-call volume on 020 update very muffled so after updating to 023 I find it a lot better. It's still not what you should expecting from a device designed to make phone calls but it's best for me so far.

My phone kept all my apps after I updated to R2BA023.

FitzysX10 · Jul 10, 2010

No offence here either but I bouhht as a business phone, upgrade
from my iPhone which still serves as my music thing on the car or the pc.

Moxior keeps me connected to my work email if I am out of the office so I find it quite usefull.

Cheers.

Fuuuuu...........k

:mad:

Ah well gave me an excuse to get rid of all the not so good games and apps!!

Can i upgrade to R2BA023 now?

powerkiter · Jul 10, 2010

023 is not available over here yet so you have to root your phone to get it, I rooted due to being on 3 for 4 years and know they are crap at updates.

No worries mate. As I said a friend sent it to me. I think he got it from the Whirlpool forum so your post was doin the rounds.

I don't know how to remove, but your post links to the updated info. So thanks for that.

Cheers.

I was thinking of doing that to see if it works... Im on o2 uk, Who still havent released the update.

Did you loose all your information on your phone. Eg: Apps, Messages etc??

Thanks in advance

sleepless · Jul 11, 2010

Thanks dunphero, that worked great. Had to go through repair for it to update, am on Tmobile UK too.

To Stuu, everything is wiped clean but I downloaded astro to backup my apps and then reinstall. I also use sms backup for my text to reinstall.

Well having been feeling mighty peeved that I couldn't get the update OTA or on PC companion I have just had another read through this thread. Gave the Sony Ericsson Update Service a go and it said there was an upgrade available. Gave me a choice of leaving settings or doing a Factory Reset. Decided on leave settings option but don't know whether this was the right choice/what difference it makes other than having to reinstall some stuff?

Just run it and the phone is booting itself back up as I type.

I have R2BA023!!! Hurrah. Initial thought... swipe unlock was fast and zoomed down to 'Settings' in the app drawer.

I'll carry on playing and see how it goes.

i have just done that but still on R2BA020 - also on t mobile but unbranded??

rosered · Jul 13, 2010

How does that work then?!?!?! I am still 'branded' tho so may be thats it?

I had initially read about doing the repair thing but thought I'd give the update service one last go.

Model X10i
Firmware Version 1.6
My baseband version is 1.1.27
Kernel version 2.6.29-rel semc-android@SEMC #2
Build number R2BA023

Sony being its 'quirky' best maybe? Whats different on your phone?

only difference is my baseband is 1.1.25 and the build number being 020

rosered · Jul 13, 2010

Perhaps the 023 version is for phones with a branded carrier then as I know Vodafone have just released 023 too??

Maybe someone with a bit more techy knowledge than me could enlighten us!?
