      Hello!
      To all whose songs get deleted when they transfer them to the phone via USB conection and restart the phone, use this tip:
      When you connect the phone via USB to the PC, make a new folder in the main directory (not in the 'audio' folder). Name it 'MP3' or anything else. Paste all your songs here. Safely remove your phone. Switch it on. Now go to 'File Manager >> Sounds >> More >> Mark >> Mark All >> More >> Manage Files >> Move' and paste it in the 'Sounds' folder again.
      Done! :)

              For the new firmware, I didn't face any "missing" or "deleted" item by the phone when restart.

              Because this phone is using its own internal memory space to store both system and user (that we uploaded ourselves) files, therefore, I would suggest if upload files, use the "Phone Mode" rather than connect the phone as a usb storage device, which after you finish transfering the file, you won't need to restart the phone.

              If you do connect the phone as usb storage device, please please, remember to "safely remove the usb storage device" first from your pc, only then disconnect your phone from the usb cable, or else you might end up causing files "deleted" from your phone.

              One thing, I notice still in the new firmware is that the shortcut assignment. Even I have assigned "Settings" to the left key and "Wallpaper" to the right key. But if I restart my phone, the shortcut key will reset back to its original shortcut assignment, which is "Write New" to the left key and nothing being assigned to the right key. Anyone else is facing this??

                      @Faisal Soomro

                      Inside the w550i box, you will find only 1 (ONE) headset unit, with 3 (THREE) rubber earpieces in 3 different diametres, that is, small, medium and large.

                      By the way, why did you mention that you're using Nokia 6630? Is there any relationship between the Sony Ericsson w550i headset and the Nokia 6630? :p

                            Just got my latest firmware from the SE Service Center. It is now:

                            R4BA041

                            So far has solved all my minor bugs and seem like working fine now. Is anyone else having this version and increase the original performance compare with the older firware?

                            For anyone would like to convert mpeg or wmv or avi file to mp4 video, you can try mpegable X4 Live from http://www.mpegable.com/. Quite easy to use and you are able to find its crack from the net too.

                            ;)

                                      the explanation is pretty simple. the connector also serves as a mic and thereby you can use the headphones to answer calls too. if there was a standard jack on phone instead then where ll you have the mic. :)

                                        hmmm...don't worry!this is how you can view your video on full screen mode!

                                        you MUST use Walkman function to view fullscreen video......

                                        i teach you.....

                                        open menu-->highlight WALKMAN-->highlight VIDEO-->press open-->choose your video-->click play-->click more-->select FULLSCREEN

                                        and.....MAGIC!

                                        have fun!

                                        note:but!this function only works on the selected video,for the next video,it will be view in normal screen!
