Bookmark topic
I noticed today, that my recently purchased (yes, i was stupid) Nokia BH-501 Bluetooth stereo headset doesn't quite work properly with K850i.
1. None of the music functions work (No play/pause, rewind, skip track), but volume. And even that doesn't use SE UI, but Nokias own amplifier.
2. When connecting, it randomly breaks off the connection, or when it has been in use for a while and you turn it off, the headset icon is still displayed on K850i and you have to restart the phone to get rid of it, or if you want any other headset (even a wired one) to work.
3. As mentioned in 2. The EQ freaks out after using BH-501. When using a wired headset after that the sound is horrible, and none of the EQ settings work. Phone boot is required.
4. At the menu where you select your ringtone and if you play the tune in that menu phone tries to connect to Nokia BH-501, and tells that it is connected even though it is not even on. This happens almost on every tune you try to play. Though they play through K850i speaker.
Lot of bugs in that one. So i'd suggest you REALLY don't go for Nokia headset. Hope we'll get the FW updated soon...

Hi I just got a problem with my K850. It's been working perfectly for 2 weeks now but suddenly I can't access games or applications. I just get the message "operation failed".
I also had some problems with the Media Manager, but that was corrected with a reset. The game/application problem however will not fix itself...
From searching I found some others with the same problem
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=157722 and it also seemed to be a common problem on K88 judging from all the topics.
I've tried the master reset 2 times but that doesn't seem to work.
Is there a way to fix it? Do I have to re-flash it?

I'm starting to get really frustrated. I've had this phone for 3 weeks now. The firmware is still shite. Not even an update to sort out the major issues such as the camera being awful. If there isn't a new firmware out soon I'm going back to the K810i.

How long till we can expect a new firmware?
IIRC it took them almost 2months for k800/k750 (not sure anymore).. but then again there werent as many (serieus) bugs as with the k850
?

Another Buy,
I use my k800i ALLOT to listen to music, so you have the option of editing the equalizer on the k850i, but it wont stay customized! i maxed out all the bars, but once you exit media player, and go back in, the preset is back to normal! ANNOYING!!!
I MISS SOO MUCH!! the list only view for text message too!! also cant resize text msg font size.
I MISS THE standby clock!!!
the UI is soooooooooooooooooo slow, lags lags! to load up the artist in media player, music.. just takes forever!!
VIDEO is rubbish, its to pixelly!
SE REALLY need to get a firmware update sorted!! hurry hurry, i think i will send my phone back and see what things are like in the new year with it! because as of right now i dont like it at all, i will stick to my k800i

just a note: maxing out the bars is like turning the volume higher ;/

very true.. but you get more volume if the bars are maxed, but this is not the point, the point is.. it should work!! i have been thinking with all the complaints, the firmware update is going to have to fix the problems!! i loved the k750i and k800i..
holding the handset (k850i) and playing with it again.. it feels like they have been pressured to get something released, but with 1yr or so of being in production, i am shocked they even let it get released in the state it is in. the firmware update has got to fix the problems occurring for everyone..
1. i would beg for the "list" view featuring being missed for text messages! ..
2. and just sort out night vision mode for the camera with flash, defo out of sync.. and once again standby clock!
by the way, for the PAUSE and PLAY button.. it got moved onto a remote, HPM - 90! i want to hear someone try it with the phone before i buy it!

Oh dear.. didn't I ask about writing in 72 point bold type to say I wasn't covering the sensor, and following the manual method perfectly?
I realise now I needed to write in 144 point Arial Bold to get the point over; the flash does not fire - or does but is early.
The sensor is NEVER covered.
Can't people read that the EXIF data says the flash fired, so it adjusts the ISO/exposure settings to match. If you switched the flash off, it would work better (but you'll get a dark or blurred image instead - but at least not pitch black).
And if the sensor WAS being covered, what would you expect it to do anyway? Would you expect it to allow you to take a picture but mess it up? Would you expect it to flash early or not at all?

I previously reported the same problem with shooting in the dark but on further testing with the phone, it turns out that the phone camera seems to be working fine.
I now realise that the problem with dark or pitch black pictures is because of the clear film that comes with the phone. I removed the film and tried out taking more pictures so see what difference it would make. The results of that is that the pictures came out fine with proper flash exposure (to my eyes) and bearing in mind that these pictures were taken in near if not complete darkness!!
In addition and as pointed out by one of the users, they way the phone is being held is quite significant. I've tried to deliberately stick one of my fingers out (about 1cm) over the phone and as expected the pictures turned out to be slighter darker than if you were to hold the phone with no obstructions.
I've attached these pics for your information [Excuse me for the mess in my kitchen, lol]
