Bookmark topic
I've had a W800 4 months now, since day 1 it's had problems with MP3s. Disc 2 phone says the transfer's completed but nothing has been uploaded to the phone. Orange have been denying all responsibility, and had several excuses. Mostly they say it's down to SE to sort out. The latest software I can get from SE is R1NA005, but according to my network it should be 008 and this version "rectifies the problem". In any case, as I'm on a contract and they supplied the phone FOC it's the network's responsibility in UK law (defective goods supplied as part of a service regulations).
Has anyone else been able to download R1nA008? Has this corrected the problem? I've got 8000+ MP3's on my PC, all of which play fine on my Creative MP3 player & Mrs's iPod. It's taken me 4 very frustrating months to get 100 of them that will play on my phone. GRRRR! I've had a T28, T68i, T610, K700 and now this W800. Don't think I'll be getting another SE phone after this. The best phone for features they ever made, but the most flawed too.

This might be a bit late in the day and I actually bought my phone after the last post, but I had the same problem of lost files during transfer and transferred files playing different music then they are supposed to. Luckily I didn't have any problems with my memory card. Since then I successfully upgraded my phone to the new firmware and haven't had any problems so if you guys are still having problems with file transfer etc, upgrade your firmware by hook or by crook ASAP!!

I have had my W800i simcard unlucked by a store but now I cannot update the software.
Anyone have experience how to work-around this problem?

What exactly is not working correctly when you try to update?
We need details.

ok then...
When I try to update the phone via the internet, I am being told that there is no new software available. I do however know that the current software is old and that a new version is available.
I also had a service store to upgrade it. They tried but failed in doing so. They told me that it was because the simcard lock had been open by someone other by my mobile company. The upgrade program registers that the software on the phone has been altered and will not accept the upgrade.
I believe this is what I can tell with my knowledge... otherwise just ask

That sounds correct, since your firmware has been "altered" so to speak.
Looks like you will probably need to upgrade your firmware with DaVinci. I don't know that much about it, so just do a search for "DaVinci" on this forum and there should be several posts on how it works and how it's done.
Hopefully someone with some knowledge on using it will jump in here to give you some advise. But it should be able to be upgraded in this manner.
