O2 UK users still awaiting latest X10 update

While the firmware update which improves the battery life among other things has been released to most markets now, X10 users in the UK who have an O2 branded handset are still awaiting the update. The firmware is available in several variants through out the world, starting from R2BA020 going up to R2BA024. The last digit is dependent on region and carrier. In the UK generic handsets have R2BA020 as does the T-Mobile update, while Vodafone branded handsets are given R2BA024. In India users are being updated to R2BA023. At least two networks are still awaiting the update, Three UK and O2 UK. One member of the Android Forums went as far as emailing Sony Ericsson, to ask where the update was for O2 X10 users. In the response, the Sony Ericsson rep suggested other ways to improve the battery life but, spoke specifically of the situation with O2. At the moment, Sony Ericsson are still waiting for O2 to approve the firmware version for release through the Sony Ericsson Update Service. Unfortunately no time scale is known but, the rep went on to say, as soon as the approval has been received from O2, they will release the update.
Have you updated your firmware yet, or are you still waiting for your carrier to approve the update? Let us know in the comments.

did the upgrade and now my phone is playing up,not charging properly,and when i hook it up to the pc it sometimes will not give me the mount option.
Hi I’m with 02 on a branded X10i and still on the R1FAB016 update service says no updates available and phone is 100% up to date, no suprises there.
When I had my Nokia 95 02 were consistantly behind with firmware releases and when I phoned customer services half of them had no idea what it was and those that did couldn’t give me any idea of when it might be released let alone a definaitive date, I ended up debranding then upgrading with generic releases.
With the X10 I am reluctant to debrand as tied into a longer contract so if anything goes wrong in the first year 02 will void the warranty if I debrand so might just have to wait till it’s out of warranty and debrand then, Just wish 02 were more on the case with updates it’s one of very few things that let them down compared to other providers, God only knows how far behind they will be when Android 2.1/2 arrives! might see it by the time the phone is obsolete!
i too am an 02 customer this firmware update is really needed i have an 02 branded x10 and wish they would hurry up the battery l;ife went from good to bad so quickly now they are lagging behind this update needs to be soon
I’m also still waiting for the O2 update for the X10. I emailed O2 customer services and they said they can’t comment on when the update might be released before suggesting I contact SE instead. It’s a complete joke!
this seems to be a continuing issue with 02 and updates im ringing customer services tomorrow and asking whats going on. this needs to be resolved
good news according to 02s twitter page after i messaged them they said the update will be available with seus very soon so keep on checking the update software on your pc that you link with ur pc and phone as it might be on soon
@sjcrows any chance you can copy the twitter message so we can see it? I just don’t trust O2 to say anything to get people off their backs about it
Thanks Mark
