My phone type is Sony Ericsson Z530i.

With a lot of functionality like this, I supposed it will be very useful for me. But lately, I think it has some defect, maybe it’s because of the software. The defect goes like this, sometimes it can’t open a text message (sms), it’s said that “opening message failed” and I can’t read the new message at all, and I don’t know who’s the sender, what is the message, etc. It’s kind of annoying if the message is an important one. So, I’ve decided to upgrade the software version of this phone, maybe it will solve the problem, or not haha… at least I try it anyway. Let me tell you the updating process and result in the next post.
