Sony Ericsson W810
Dropped Calls
I dont know how many people have experienced problems with dropped calls, but I have had a lot of problems with this on my w810i. I absolutley love this phone but the number of dropped calls got really anoying. I read up on this in some other forums and it seems to be a common event and it is due to a software defect in handing off the call from one tower to another. You can be sitting still and still be passed from tower to tower and this drops calls. I swithced my settings from Automatic Network Selection to Manual and that seemed to make the dropped calls go away. There is also mention of flashing the phone but that comes with risks. Here is a link that discusses this issue. http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topi c=121147 hop...

I haven't experienced even one dropped call. I am using Cingular and live in a major metropolitan area (Houston,Tx).
...
I think that this problem exists with some but not all the w810i phones that have been released. Is your phone set to manual network selection? I dont get dropped calls if i set it like this.
...
I have not experienced any drop calls as well. Phone works spectacularly on Cingular wireless in Los Angeles. I love this phone.

If your getting dropped calls you need to update your firmware to the latest, which at the moment is R4CK003. Go to www.sonyericsson.com for more details.

My phone says it has the R4CE012 version on it. When i run the Auto Update service, it says that this is the most current version. Is it? How did you get that other version?? The website doesnt mention anything about which version is the latest but has a update program utility you can download to your computer... whats the point of that if you can do it from this phone?? What version do the rest of you have on your phones???
...
I have the sam problem. My version is R4CE012 and when I tried to update the firmaware withe the utility, it says no update available. Can anyone help the firmware version.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have no problems with mine in Baltimore, MD. Have any of you tried calling Sony Ericsson? They may be able to send the update straight to your phone. Sorry I can't help more!
...
Mine has R4CK003 and I haven't had one drop yet, so it seems to be working well.

+1 for Houston. No dropped calls on Cingular and I did the OTA update as soon as I received it a week ago. Updated to version R4DB005 and I haven't looked back since. I did notice that the label on the box had EN, FR on it so I assume that it was going England and France since it supports English, French and two Arabic languages. I've read on other sites that the China firmware (if you have it) could be the problem since updates are apparently different for the various regions of the world (??). Maybe the OP should check out the Davinci update??

I am looking for a warranty to purchase
for the 810i. I hope to purchase it on E-bay
from Wireless_experts. Does any one know how to buy that either from them or other way?
Does anyone experience dropped calls on Cingular with the 810i in Minneapolis Metro?

I experienced dropped calls with T-mobile in LA. Sony has a patch. I applied it and no more dropped calls. Please check my message under Dropped Calls.
...
Mine have the R4CK003 software version and so far did not have any drop calls yet. I go around LA, Orange County and all over Southern California using T-Mobile. 🙂

Sony has solution for it. Download the utility from SOny Ericsson's website. If you had the utility before, uninstall it first then install it again. Then upgrade the phone software. I did that and there are no more dropped calls.
