Quite some time ago, I mentioned that my Sony Ericsson hand phone kept displaying error messages (47, and etc??? that I could not rememebered) and sometimes it would just hang. I even had to force it to shut down and restart to make it work! It was very troublesome.
Furthermore, when I tried to recharge it, it did not even responded. Using google as my search engine, I tried to find out what those strange cryptic error messages meant and see if the problem can be resolved. But there was not much information regarding those error messages. I also thought that the handphone was dead. I even posted that my hand phone was dead!
For some time, I chose to ignore it. Some days ago, I took out the handphone and I tried to find out if those annoying problems persist. I charged the handphone to at least 80% full before doing anything.
I wondered if applying updates would resolved the issues that I had earlier. If that failed to work, then I would have to physically open and examine the internals. Anyway, it would be interesting to see such an embedded device and the related components.
I performed a backup of whatever stuff I had in my handphone and I went to update it. The software then updated to version 2.10.4.22 from version 2.9.
After upgrading to the latest version, I decided to test the phone. Immediately after upgrading the phone, I played the phone and see if any error messages appeared. Next, I took some pictures of the surroundings (some books, buildings, sky) and see any error messages appear. None. That was good!
For the next 2 - 3 days. I decided to bring the phone with me to see if the issues resurfaced. Seemed that those bugs were gone.
I will do further testing to see if any of those annoying and cryptic error messages appear.

SINGAPORE : The Circle Line's 11 new MRT stations opened on
Saturday to much fanfare.
As at 8pm Saturday, SMRT had a ridership of some 220,000.
SMRT said with the new stations, travel time can be reduced by over half an hour on certain routes, and commuters can save up to 41 per cent in adult fares.
The long wait is over for self-professed train enthusiast Ong You Yuan when the train rolled in at Paya Lebar Station.
"I waited five to six years, and finally it opened, so I want to catch the first train in the morning," said the 18-year-old Ong.
Over at the Stadium Station, Taiwanese pop band SHE got in on the act.
They were there for a meet-and-greet session with some 900 fans before performing later in the evening.
SMRT prepared for this surge in traffic.
"In Stadium (Station) itself, we are expecting a large crowd for the SHE event. We are putting in some 20-plus additional station personnel there to help out in the station management, passenger flows and the crowd control (issues)," said Chia Chun Wah, deputy director of Station Operations, SMRT Trains.
Previously, concert-goers had to go to the Kallang MRT Station, transfer to a bus or walk to reach the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Now, they can take the Circle Line service and alight at the Stadium Station, which is just a stone's throw away from one of the country's most popular concert venues.
And this is making some concert-goers, very happy.
"(With the) Circle Line, I can travel to Bishan (and) use the Circle (Line route) to travel here. It's faster and easier," said one member of the public.
"It used to take about one-plus hour, now only 16 minutes," said another.
SMRT expects daily ridership of about 200,000 with the 16 Circle Line stations now open.

SINGAPORE : Eleven new stations of the Circle Line, stretching from Dhoby Ghaut to Bartley, will begin operations on April 17.
It promises faster and cheaper travel - with fare savings of up to 41 per cent for commuters.
Transport Minister Raymond Lim officiated the opening ceremony at Bras Basah Station on Friday.
The Bras Basah Station is described as an "architectural marvel". It is said to be the deepest underground MRT station ever built in Singapore.
It boasts of a 41-metre escalator - the longest in any MRT station - and a unique reflecting pool on the roof.
Commuters will save time, and money.
For example, the journey to Paya Lebar from Bartley takes about 38 minutes and costs about $1.61.
But with the opening of the stretch of new Circle Line stations, it will take just 6 minutes and will save commuters 66 cents of fares - which is over 40 per cent cheaper than the previous fare.
Culture buffs will also be pleased with the stops.
"The stretch of the Circle Line also connects us to the doorstep of major culture destinations, such as our museums, as well as recreational and sporting venues like Fort Canning Park and the stadium, and for those headed to destinations around Suntec and the Esplanade. Whether for work or for leisure, the Circle Line provides an additional and convenient transport option, including those who currently drive," said the Transport Minister.
The 11 new stations, along with five others that are already operating, are expected to bring ridership to about 200,000 a day.
