I dont know whether this is related to the latest firmware or not, but since i temporarily changed sim cards today (for a reason i wont mention), and then put my regular sim back in, whenever i try to charge my phone im told it has an
alien battery.
Not a problem, just bizarre since ive been using the same battery since i got the phone - the battery that came supplied with it.
have you tried the basics? or have you tried everything?
like master reset? or turn the phone off then remove battery and place it back.
network selection turned automatic? or manual?
automatic i think so

my W800i has a different menu, the first three icons from the top are t-music, t-zone, and entertainment.
should upgrading to the new firmware correct this to play now, internet, and entertainment?
just asking
thanks

no it will not, to get rid of the t-mobile branding you will have to de-brand with davinchi

i think the issue of "why fixing it if it works" is really not an issue.
i mean we love technology and the benefits that comes along with it.. its not actually fixing things... its improving or developing it that we love the most.
thats what tech is all about.. making life easy. so we whos in the know-how with regards to these upgrading stuff like to be updated all the time. thats all i wanted to point out.. its not fixing things.. its getting along with technology, since the fon is equipped with such things. why not use it.. but wots lacking here is the continuous support coming from the manufacturer... continuous meaning after firmware release they hafta take note of the point from where they left off. that they have to notice theres something else to upgrade...
well infairness with SE, i guess theyve really working hard about this.. its just that... customer support lacks. in some ways.. they hafta let their consumers know wots cooking behind the kitchen.. thats all.
I respect that point of view, and even follow it myself most of the time. However the issue with R1AA is really a show killer if you like to transfer files effortlessly between phone and computer. I hardly feel, for my own pattern of use, that better sound is worth upgrading to if I can no longer rely on hassle free file transfers. So until there is some resolution to this issue, I won't be updating from my current VERY stable and virtually bug free R1L. (on which I enjoy effortless and reliable file transfers). I see no reason to sacrifice the stability of my handset, which is ultimately more important to me than the enhancements offered in R1AA. My phone is a tool as much as it is a toy. I have other phones that I can play with, such as my K700 (which I want to convert to full infrared, including infrared led for night photography
)
However, when the file transfer issue is fixed, I will certainly enjoy the better sound, better video quality, faster menu, faster zoom and rotations, longer lasting battery, ask once bluetooth permissions, and numerous other enhancements that come with R1N/R1AA and later.

@ CrazyBus - Im sorry to laugh at your misfortune, but it is rather ironic how when your update fails, SE use such a negative background image in the update software, the lightning strike.
It couldnt have been more ironic if they'd used a picture of a tombstone, or skull & crossbones.
@ rockygali - i dont think its anything to do with the sim cards, its the same with the sim ive always used in the phone. Anyway, im currently charging my phone right now, with it switched off and it just says charging as normal, it doesnt say anything about alien battery.
Its not worrying me, i just think SE might have screwed up their battery recognition in the current R1AA firmware release. The phone still works fine, just rather amusing to find that my phone no longer trusts the battery.

Very interesting choice of backdrop, to be sure

Nokia 6233 looks good - should be OK by May when my 1 year contract is up.
NE1 with Xperience of Nokia - is the software better or worse than SE?
To be frank the K750 software sucks - yes it is getting better but R1AA is what I expected back in May.
One of my employees who worked at Sendo summed it up - any manufacturer who provides a software upgrade via a web-site knows that they expect to upgrade the software regularly.
