Updated the first post to note the 'hissing bug'.
> SE have removed R1AA008 due to some issues/problems
> with the firmware
Interesting. I don't suppose anyone has tried a SEUS II update this morning and got R1N rather than R1AA as they expected (taking note of the first post's CDA -> Expected Firmware table)?

I'm surprised how few people there are who makes noice about the new bug in R1AA008...
There's an irritating hissing sound in the ear speaker when talking on the phone. When the volume is turned up (real loud) you can't hear it, but when turning the volume down (half and less) the hissing starts. The lower the volume is set, the more hissing there is. Sometimes there's a ticking sound and sometimes the other persons voice is cut off and you can't hear what he/she is saying.
This bug is almost the same as with T610 a couple of years ago...
I know R1AA008 fixed some bugs, but the introduction of the hissing bug is terrible since talking on the phone is the main feature and (probably for most people) the main reason for buying a phone.

I totally agree with you cyervisitor!

I spent some time trying to understand what this hissing is about. It's actually not hissing, but it seems that ear speaker is turning off when no sound at the other end. When one starts to speak, ear speaker turns on and you hear kind a hissing in the begining. If one speaks loudly and without pauses, then it's no problem, because earspeaker is on continuosly. When talking to somebody ask one to whisper and then you will see that either you hear nothing or at best hissing with cut offs.
I believe it's a bug with new FW. If this is true, i would say it's worst bug this phone had ever!

maybe its not worst, but it is annoying as hell. its so annoying and breaking up other's party voice, so you cant have normal conversation anymore! damnit. f**k. and no way to downgrade without paying. sh*t.
temporary solution: it does not appear if you are using headset. at least seemed so.

Updated my 02 UK Branded K750i to R1AA008.
So far I am very pleased with the latest firmware.
Faster navigation, hour glass whilst zooming etc, increased speaker volume.
My K750i is 'not' suffering from any hissing sound on low or high volumes.

Can you actually update to the new F/W on Orange UK?
I ran the update and i'm still on R1N035.
Any help would be good.

I referred to my K750i w/ R1A044.
Even when i didn't lock the keypad, music button can not be activated unless i insert the handsfree.
I don't know about how W800 handle the button.

the music button only works with handsfree connected on the k750, on the w800 it works without handsfree too.
damn annoying and stupid in my oppinion! :angry:

I updated yesterday and had a couple of conversations yesterday and I never experienced this "hissing" issue some people are reporting.
The only trouble I have had with it, is that it sometimes freezes when changing theme.
Also I dont see the point of the hour glass in zooming from x0 to x1.25 and not inbetween the other zooming factors. Odd me thinks.

Hissing is there only when the volume is 3 bar or below.......but no such hissing when using handsfree........anyway I am not talking on the phone with 3 volume bar or below cos its volume is way too low anyway ! So this doesn't bother me !
