hi, i've just had a serious issue arise with my k800i...
My phone ran out of battery last night, and when i got home i tried to charge it, but instead of bringing up the charge icon, it turned itself on and started to load. Then, it brings up the 'desktop' background, but doesn't go through password or ask if i want flight mode or not. Then it brings up the 'select' and 'info' options but they are at the top of the screen and not by the buttons by the stick... If i press anything the background image becomes broken up and doesn't allow you to do anything!!!
Any advice would be much appreciated

hmm. another problem caused by a drained battery. sounds like your firmware is corrupted? try reflashing it and see what happens.
now i'm so afraid of this happening, i would never let my k800i go to 5-10% charge, and i'll never ever take out the simcard and battery (unless i sell the phone off!)

Thanks for the advice, but 1 small thing, how would i go about updating the firmware? it doesn't show any screen that i can actually use... I've tried hooking it up to my pc, but it says that the "network cable is disconnected"
Thanks for your advice

I don't think updating your firmware will help because your phone cant turn on at all.
You need a reflash of the firmware.
Do you still have warranty for your K800i? If yes, try to get it done at the service centre. It should be free though as your K800i is pretty much a deadbolt now.

Just a quick query - I have a K800i which has a slight charging fault, which means it won't charge via the charger or recognise it's been plugged in. This is due to some corrosion from moisture on the connector. However, it does charge via the USB lead, though if you move/knock the phone about too much it sometimes disconnects.
My query is that when charging via the USB cable my battery will only get as far as about 90% - even when left to charge overnight! is this the maximum charge that the USB cable can give the phone, or can I charge the battery fully?

it is normal to reach around 90% via USB charge. this is known as trickle charging.

I had a feeling that would be the case, might try go get hold of a new charger port and change it at some stage in the future!

I have a problem with my K800i, just this morning i typed a message then hit "continue" to send the message. All of a sudden the screen turns white then the phone restart then go back to the standby screen.
I upgraded my firmware thru SEUS. Tried to take out the mem card, battery and sim card but the problem still arise.

Anyone encountered this kind of bug? Any solution to this problem. I badly need an answer, pls help...
