Hi everyone im a newbie here,
have just got my Sony ericsson xperia mini pro, there is much I like about the phone but I do have some issues, first one is the Phone is from Virgin Mobile and the firmware is a good way behind the latest Sony Ericsson which says I should have firmware ending in .42 and mine is only .335 even virgin mobile say it should be .338 ? but when I do an update it tells me the phone is up to date ?
the more important problem is that while mobile internet works fine I can't use any Wifi connection, sometimes it says connected to my netgear router and shows the wifi symbol, my router accepts it as "Unknown" connected with the same i.p address, but it won't connect to the net ? iv'e torn my hair out with this problem but can't use wifi period and iv'e run out of ideas ? if anyone knows an easy walk through to connecting to wifi then please show me, even Virgin can't suss it ?
thanks
 
Try this to update the firmware.

Take out your sim card and start you phone.
Connect it to the Pc companion software and try to update the firmware that way, it should update the phone to the very latest firmware available.

As for your wifi problem very strange, have you tried deleted your wifi setting off your phone and connecting to it again?

If all else fails connect your phone to pc with sim card in and start the SE companion software and there is a section on the programs under firmware to repair your phone, it reinstalled the firmware so your phone starts from fresh.
