New Firmware (R2CA024) Released

A new firmware for vivaz has been released. This update includes a noticeable performance improvement,updated Google maps, you-tube application and neoreader application.The radio also now supports RDS. I also felt the touch response has been improved a bit.

Still there is no kinetic scrolling and automatic photo flash. Hope they include this in the next update

To Update the phone you require to download the phone update software from HERE.

  9. MM#3 can be bypassed by switching to "flight mode" and back to "normal".

    BUT this is a hell from SE.

    how can I downgrade my phone pls?

  13. Hi,

    the update R2EA023 is available for Germany now. I really hope the "sim not allowed mm#3" error is fixed now. The update was easy to handle... I didn't have to install software again.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Updated yesterday to R2EA023 (Germany)

    Error not fixed, resived today.

    try the "When requied" setting now. Wish me luck :)

    ReplyDelete
  15. yes, you are right... I've still got the problem. Did you install the full Firmware?
    I guess it won't help. So I have to send my vivaz to the repair shop. I don't want... but I have to...

  16. hab vergessen zu fragen: Hast du auch EPlus?

    ReplyDelete
  17. I had my Vivaz pro the first day active, where the error appeared like 5 times..

    After the work i patched the new firmware (20/08/10).. Like in my previous post (3.09; 3:25)

    Since i tried the "when requied" setting, the error doesnt shown up again.. I think this can fix it.

    Also i saw that the icon at the left side on top changed. There is no "E" anymore (wich means EDGE i guess..)
    And the only icon is now the antenna (like this ¥)
    ________

    Also Leute, so wies aussieht is der Fehler weg wenn ihr bei Paketdaten auf "bei bedarf" einstellt. Seitdem is das E oben weg und nurnoch das antennen symbol, und der fehler kam soweit auch nemmer.
    Da ich das handy erst 4 tage hab kann ich ziemlich sicher sagen das es davon weggeht weil vorher über den tag mind. 1x kam.. am ersten sogar 5 mal..
    Hoffe des kann weiterhelfen. Viel glück Leute :)

    Tested with:
    Sony Ericsson U8i (Vivaz pro) & BASE DE

  18. The error occurs again but just with my EPlus/Base Sim. I've tried a D1 Sim for 5 days the error didn't occur. It's so strange... As I see it isn't a Hardware bug.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Well, my Base Card didn't shown the error again.

    Like i said befor, i had my phone 2~3 days, the error was shown like 6~7 times.

    After i changed the setting to "when requied" the error doesnt appear anymore..

    Well, for me i guess i fixed it.. since i have like almost 6 days now without an error.

    An other friend of mine has the u8i in white, also base.. but nothing happend. She never had this problem.

    ReplyDelete
  20. well, the thing is: I can't change the settings of Paketdata. There is only one Paketdata connection and this is the EPlus Standard. Could you tell me, where exactly I've to change the settings? Connection manager --> ??

    ReplyDelete
  21. Sorry, I've just found the settings... I hope this fixes the problem.

    For people who have a problem with this message being on their phone.
    I found a solution!!!!!!

    Here are the steps I used on my Samsung A707:

    1. type in *#0523#
    2. Press # 3 times to get to the main menu
    3. Press 8 (phone control)
    4. Press 3 (NAS control)
    5. Press 3 again (UIM class)
    6. It should turn out that the setting for the UIM class should be GSM.

    If it was GSM to start with follow these steps:

    1. from the main menu check the sim info.
    2. the card capability and the EF category should be USIM.
    3. If it is not mess around with it.

    I do not remember how i changed this, but i no this is wat it should be.



    If this doesn't work I don't know what will.
    This is how I fixed mine.

  34. Is there a difference between this U5i firmware and a U5 model?

    My phone reads U5 and the firmware is dated back on 20-08-2010 but when I run the phone upgrade it reports I have the latest firmware.

    Could it be that the latest is that far old or does Sony/Ericsson stopped improving the U5 but only the U5i?

  39. hi
    i m using vivaz u5i but its touch system gone mad.
    wt can i do with this please help..
    plz reply at khalidkhan.khan6@gmail.com

  40. @khalid and anyone else with a defective touch screen.

    First try cleaning the touch screen - dirt and moisture can cause it to go mental. If it is still defective you can buy a new touch screen for not much money on eBay. Vivaz disassembly guide for fitting it is here:

  42. Got my secondhand Vivaz and loving it!

    "SIM not allowed MM # 3" vivaz -- Resolved
    I used "when required" packet data fix as said here then reset network connections by going offline and then online by switch to flight mode and back to my active profile.

    @AnonymousMay 22, 2012 3:25 PM
    That is so true. I just bought a cheap screen protector, and after a while it got moist on a section and the touch screen thought it was pressed there.
    I'm ok again without the screen protector, gotta find a better one.
