btw...experiencing some problem with the phone which is kinda annoyin...

1- the walkman kinda laggy sumtime...there's a very brief silence at times...not always....but it annoys me when it happens so many times...=.=...izzit bcos im using a very high quality mp3 files?most of mine would b at 320kbps variable bitrate...

2- typing msg kinda laggy also...at times,i pressed the key lyke twice oredi baru the letter comes out....izzit normal with other SE phone?

3- reboot....reboot....reboot...=.=...most of the time when i'm using the fm transmitter....

4- the ear speaker u use when u receive call, the sound produced by it ade pecah2 skit....dunno how to xplain dis...=.=

5- a minor bug...doesnt bother me much tho...the phone will auto unlock even tho the slider still in its lock position when i close the phone without ending a call....

6- vibrate kinda soft....hahahaha....does anyone knoe how can i increase it??lalalalala~~

anyone experiencing all this??
the 1st,2nd n 3rd annoys me the most....the others...i still can live with it...

izzit bcos mine is ap set or everyone is experiencin the same prob?

For those who fail to update their firmwares thru SEUS, its most likely u have a invalid CDA number (usually happens to AP sets)...u can correct it by changing it with a software called A2 CDA file generator which is 100% free, and there is a thorough guide to do it!

To check ur CDA code, go to the service menu by pressing >*<<*<*, den go to service info>software info...scroll down and find CUSTIMIZATION, there u will see the codes. Mine is 12345678-1234(which is wrong) before this, now its corrected to 1201-0176

Using SEUS to update is more secure and u can get latest firmwares, which is quite impossible to find them elsewhere.

i've tried it and it works perfectly, and i think the risk involved is minimum...

here's the guide and download page:
