Hi
Upgraded my O2 mobile no probs a couple of nights ago. But I am also now experiencing the GPRS bugs. And also more annoyingly my SE Akono HBH 660 bluetooth headset disconnects after about 10 seconds into a call. Headset connection was a bit buggy on the old firmware but is awful now. That was my main reason for upgrading the firmware. Does nobody test these things before releasing firmwares.

I too had buggy headset connections on the old firmware. It seemed to improved after upgrading it to R1J002. The connection between the headset and the phone seemed to last longer than before. So far I only experienced the lost connection once, whereby I had to manually connect it.
But thereafter it was OK with no lost connection.
Will report more if there's new findings.

might be worth everyone reporting their build date
where do you find this out, is it anywhere in the service menu? anyway - getting the problem on an unbranded phone with o2
You need to look at the sticker underneath your battery. Tilt the phone and you'll see it in the middle of the sticker but towards the top so you'll need a good light source probably.
For the record, I'm on O2 and have had no problems with my phone since I got it. I'm going to stay away from the latest FW as I'm not convinced it's worth the risk of losing my gprs.
Mine is 05w19.

I emailed SE about a problem with the k750i and the HBH 660 headset. With my old T630, I just used to leave bluetooth on all the time, which meant the HBH 660 headset (which is left in the car) always worked. With the K750, if you move out of range you have to manually remake the bluetooth connection (which is a pain in the arse).
example : T630 in my jeans pocket, HBH-660 in the glove compartment - get out of car, fill up with petrol, go and pay, get back in, can still recieve and make calls on headset
example 2 : K750i in my janes pocket, HBH-660 in the glove compartment - get out of car, fill up with petrol, go and pay, lose bluetooth connection as I move out of range, get back to car, take phone out of pocket, switch off bluetooth, switch bluetooth back on (remakes connection to HBH 660), put phone back in pocket
I emailed SE about this , and they replied telling me the new firmware was coming out soon. I've upgraded it, but it hasn't solved this annoying problem

What is the best course of action with the GPRS issue after updating. Keep the phone and wait for another FW update from SE or demand a new phone from O2 I got mine from a O2 shop so presumably I would have to go back there Only thing with doing that they did say i had 7 days to return the phone for exchange or it would be sent to SE for repair when i got it orriginaly

Hi Colin
I have the HBH-662 with the k750i. and after the upgrade my device is performing 1000 times better.
it has now solved the problem of having the headset not ringing or showing number. And as far to the loosing connection, I have had on the bluetooth all night and it has not lost the connection. but if I try to use another profile that the one assosiated with the headset fx. Sleep then the device may loose the connection. BUT BUT if the phone rings after it lost the connection then it is quick to apply the headset again and the headset rings within a second.
the same happens if I leave the car, the phone looses connection with the headset, and when I return it does not connect automatically (as you described) but as soon as the phone rings (or you make a call) the connection is up and running. But for this to happend, just leave the bluetooth on at all times.
So my conclution is = the device is working now, but the firmware needs to be ajusted a little, so that it shows connection with the device as soon as it is spotted.

I have a 05w19 and I have the GPRS problem too.
To the poster above> If O2 swap the handset (and I'm certain it's a firmware issue not a handset problem - it worked perfectly before the update), what do you do with your current one, so you send it back in advance?
Is there a way to backup your contacts apart from FMA which doesn't work well with the K750i?

Found another bug fix. The R1A firmware was not playing some of the ringtones I'd transferred to the phone from my K700 (like "Baby"). It would play the
default instead. The new firmware has fixed that. The
behavior is much better too; now I can actually use the caller id on my headset...
EDIT: My phone is 5w21, FWIW.

So, does that mean the problem isn't related to a particular batch? Mine is 05w19 and works fine. Or could there be batches within week19? Very strange situation...?!?!
