Hi,

Do you know what else has been updated/fixed. Is the GPS working better? Mine seems to hang after a while when using it.

Anyone knows when a new firmware will be released at SEUS for the rest of Europe?

Kind Regards
Johan

If you are able to pay some euros to TotalGSM you should be able to get the firmware before it is out on SEUS... Contact totalgsm for more info though.

Hi guys.

Let me just say, i am very disappointed in this phone. The last 2 phones i had were the K750i and K800i and I must say this is not a vast improvement on them at all.

Firstly, the LED camera flash produces poor pics at night with all shots coming out in a yellow (outdoors and indoors). i have checked all the settings and no luck whatsoever.
Secondly, due to my provider being O2 in the UK, the GPS and Google Maps functionality does not work at all - I have never got a hold on any satellites in GPS or AGPS mode.Aprt from that i cannot complain however it isnt one step up from K800i (which actually took far better photos.

My question therefore is: do i need to install the new driver R3CA037 - will this rectify the above problems? My software version is currently R3BA035. if so, how do i get it?
Secondly, will the firmware automatically flash the phone so that it is de-branded?

Your advice would be much appreciated in this time of frustration as when i saw the spec it was everything I wanted and still would be if these 2 functions worked propoerly!!

I had exactly the same issues as yourself after buying the handset on O2 pay as you go in the UK. All you need to do to get full functionality is to debrand it using one of the services on the web. It cost me about 8 quid to get it debranded to a generic firmware and now all the functions such as tracker, Google Maps etc work fine with the GPS unit.

Hope this helps

With R3DA029 I can only see one difference, I have CPW Navigator instead of Wayfinder in the Location Services menu (Wayfinder is still in Applications).
