New firmware for Elm (J10i)

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 13:04:45 GMT

Yesterday i noticed that the new firmware (R7CA061) available to download through the FOTA. Want to ask when i can update my phone through SEUS? Where i can get information about differences between firmwares?

Thank you!

In this thread: http://talk.sonyericsson.com/message/1452#1452 It's said that they can't give information about changes in new firmware, for some reason...

"FYI: We are unable to provide information about changes in the latest software updates of a phone, nor do we know when/if an update for a certain device will be released."

I've never seen a changelog for SE's firmwares... It's kind of silly, all other companies list the changes in their firmwares publicly, but not SE? We update our phones not knowing at all what to expect. The only real change I noticed after I updated my Elm with R7CA061, is that the widgets in the home screen don't work properly anymore!

Agree with your comments, especially the one concerning widgets. That is why i am asking when i can download full sized firmware through SEUS.. Hope it will be soon and changes will be visible..

I prefer not to use SEUS though, because it wipes away my apps that I bought from PlayNow...

Apparently they do publish change logs for new firmwares, but only for the more popular, expensive, smarter phones such as xperia and vivaz...

I wonder why...

They recently started to concentrate their attention on expensive segment, it is true ..

Our Greenhearts deserve extra attention.

I just updated my phone through SEUS and got the r7ca061. At first I was pissed off, but when I checked it out, the widgets were working properly and still are. This is the second time I updated my phone through SEUS. If you updated your phone through SEUS and got the r7ba076, I think, you have to update your phone phone through SEUS again to get the r7ca061. At least that's how I did it.

Peace Out!

i think that they are cheat on us. They only change the name of the firmware and there is nothing new in new firmwares. So they provide no information about their updates because there is no real updates .:smileylaugh::smileylaugh:.

I will never update my firmware.

Hi Jangal,

I will never update my firmware.

So do I. I won't change anything in the future as long as my phone will work properly.
