                  If your phone just froze and doesn't react to pressing any buttons, you don't have to remove the battery to restart it. Sony Ericsson P-series phones have a soft-reboot function. Just press and hold the Power button for about 10 seconds and the phone will reboot.

                    Hi
                    What is CDA?

                    Cellular Digital Accessory

                    The Cellular Digital Accessory (CDA) number identifies the software version and customization of a Mobile phone.

                    Customization, among others, relates to operator-customized startup and shutdown videos, user greeting, web browser's home page and preinstalled bookmarks and also language packs that come preinstalled with the phone. CDA version depends on the country of purchase as well as on the network operator.

                    So CDA is the main part thats tells us firmware is new or not

                      Before updating P990, make sure to backup your files to PC/memory card and phonebook contacts stored in phone to SIM cards. Everything stored in the phone memory even phonebook contacts will be gone after updates.

                          Hello INH

                          It is a great phone, but it has a number of problems that Sone Ericsson have indicated they won't solve. I really like the phone, but Sony Ericsson is too tied up to support it.

                          I have owned a number of SE phones and they have done exactly the same thing with every phone - they stop supporting it long before the bugs are sorted out. Also - will it really kill them to release a new feature or two? These phones aren't cheap...

                          There will only be one more release and I am afraid that won't be enough to fix all the issues.

                          I would have upgraded to the P1, but I won't be burnt again.

                                  make sure keylock is not enabled in flip open mode. because it is also possible to lock touchscreen with the keylock slide on the left side of the phone.

                                  if you really need to navigate to control panel, you can use the jog dial (side scroll wheel) of the phone and if you want to select an option, push the jog dial inward.
