R2E also still has the one second delay when answering.

In R2E the appointments are no longer marked as bold dates in the month calender. So now you can no longer see on which days you need to do things. Now you have to go to the week view to see your appointments.

In R2L the feature has reappeared! Thanks god!

Bluetooth still shuts down in R2E (at least on my phone).

But MP3 and Video playback is better than with R2A.

Backlight still fades after 40 secs!

guys, can I suggest that we keep this thread for the summary and benchmark etc but keep firmware version specific comments for the firmware specific threads otherwise its all out of place and harder for people to find stuff

thanks!

Hi mwarner,

Perhaps I could add some notes for the R2J041 upgrade I've made it Hong Kong.

R2J041
- Snooze is now available on Recurrent alarms
- At least 10% improvement in battery life (over and above R2E?)
- Time of the last call now displayed in the missed calls list
- The fonts of Operator logo, the command keys such as "Calls", "More" are a bit larger and the font of Date & time has been Slightly reduced.
- Faster to load the JAVA games than before.


Answer to your question 1 :
"I notice on my R2A phone that when I answer a call it takes a few seconds before the person at the other end can hear me. Is this a fault with all R2A phones? Has it been fixed, and if so in what firmware?"
---> Yes, its fixed in R2J041.

Bugs
- There is still a chance to find that Mr. X's telephone number displayed under Mr. Y's name when I browse the phone book.

Hi,
I'm new to this site but could you tell me how to see which software i have on my phone k700i.

Have the camera probs been corrected with the new R2L upgrade. My cam is good in day time but at night there are dots appearing on the pic even with good light.

Hi,

There was another bug in R2A... entering names and numbers in phonebook :
After entering a few names and numbers, the numbers would be deleted for the first names you have entered. There was no pattern or way to repeat it. Sometime it would happen after 2 new names and sometime after 10. I tried 2 different versions of O2 branded ones and 2 unbranded that I got in Croatia. In R2L it doen't happen any more...

Bugs in R2L

1. Phone seems to freeze ocasionally when sending MMS and than restarts itself.
2. Also ocasionally while K700 and HBH600 are connected seems like connection freezes. The phone is still in Handsfree profile, Bluetooth is shown as paired, but you can not answer or do anything the call with HBH600. Restart...
3. Also K700 and HBH600... If you walk away from K700 with HBH600 for like 100 meters (K700 and HBH600 are connected), K700 will just kill connection and also Bluetooth off (immediately).

Anyone else noticed these bugs?

Take care

Velimir

@vamsi6: Welcome to Esato!

You get to the service menu by pressing >* are joystick direction left and right respectively.

From there you will most certainly be able to find your way around... .

Good luck! Enjoy!
