hey turbo,

I'm receiving my k700i tomorrow (monday) by post (bought it via ebay) and like to update the f/w before I start adding all my contacts etc.
Can you tell me where in Melbourne I can go to get the update? Can I come and see you? Is there a SE service-point in MEL at all?

thanks for your threads. really helpful!

Kai

@All

I just got back from my SE Service Center, as well as my friend who happens to be the manager there and he said to run, do not walk away from this R2E011 update. It is more a problem than a fix. He stated that SE has told them not to update anymore and that the fix to the battery and BT is on the way very soon. Within 6 to 7 days. The next update will fix all the bugs(hopefully) that are found in the previous updates.

By the way, has anyone noticed that the BT does not release the headset, but continues to keep the communication between the BT headset and the phone locked together? This kills my battery. I am only getting a bit over half a day if I use my HBH-65. Does anyone else know this problem are willing to address it to SE?

Cheers,

Don

@sapporobaby:

I have the same locked-to-eachother and battery-life experience as you have, using the HBH-60 headset.

I have reported this to SE support, but I get the impression that the communication between support and development at SE is a one-way street. Three days after people reported the R2E-release for K700 here on Esato, the support department at SE strongly denied that there was a new release coming, "because we have not heard that R&D are planning it"...

@ProficienT

Dude, R2E011 has problems. Have you not read the posts concerning this? Are you willing to take the chance to break more you fix? While I can understand wanting to get the most from your phone but I am not willing to have to go back to have it upgraded once again. With this being said, if you do have yours upgraded to R2E011 and you have problems, 1. Told you so. 2. Told you so again. 3. To avoid points 1 and 2 it would be best to keep your misfortunes secret. Good luck.

It looks like SE has really made abit of a cock up with the K700, it released it with many bugs, then it releases a new firmware which cases even more problems. The K700 is a fantasic phone, such a shame that it has so many bugs!
