I SENT LIS OF ALL BUGS TO SE DEVELOPER CONSIDERING LAST FIRMWARE 1 week ago.

AND ON 9th they relesed new firmware.

ALSO SENT THIS TO SE DEVELOPER



"DEVELOPMENT IDEAS"

THEME`s
In further development of firmware for W800 and K750 will it be possible
to intergrate SonyEricsson_theme version="4.1"
For use of Desktop_style Type: "avenue.swf"?
Please add this support

BLUETOOTH
k700i model had a Browsing over Bluetooth and it was left out on k750
and w800 models probbably due to the SECURITY reasons and I think (most
users agree) that that was unnessesary because it didnt affect much on
"strenght" of BLUETOOTH security. That BT browsing was helpful feature
to use.

WALKMAN MEDIA PLAYER
When movie is played it would be very usefull tu have a GOTO (or seek)
option for longer movies.
Resume feature for movie player would be nice too For music playing the
FF could be faster (have to hold 4 min to FF music set) or even better
to make Fast Forwarding speed increasing when holding button

SMS MESSAGE wRITING
When writing a SMS, when CALL comes in or accidental exit from message
writing menu it would be very helpful if the last entered text could
stay in memory so next time user goes writing SMS the last text he
entered is already written.

These things could make w800 or k750 perfect phone

REPLY:

Please be advised that a new enquiry has been received. An
acknowledgement has already been forwarded to the developer

Thanks Robert for your valuable suggestions, I will try to find the
right channel to direct these bugs and ideas.

Kind regards,

lets hope they listen to your comments.

they've said that they read numerous forums (including esato) to determine which updates they might include in the next firmware. but most of the items the people want aren't even in the lastest FW.

*Patiently Waits For O2 To Approve FirmWare*

To all experiencing errors updating firmware - be persistent! I attempted to update my phone last night and it took maybe 6 attempts before the thing would follow through with an update.

Many times SEUSII would hang or produce an error on 'identifying phone', or after the phone was identified, or when I should release the C button.

Keep taking that battery out, putting it back in, and starting over!


And for those having issues with the phone turning on while holding down the C button…
Ensure you have the USB drivers installed on your PC. I think they're located in the 'drivers' folder in the installation directory of SEUSII, but can also be downloaded separately from the SE website.

I think for real problem cases (when the USB drivers didn't want to install), the best solution was (prior to running SEUSII or DaVinci):

(i) to have the Windows Device Manager open, do the whole, 'remove sim and re-attach battery thing),

(ii) hold down the C button and attach the phone to your computer (keep holding down the C button - so maybe use your left hand ). An unknown device (or K750i with a question mark) should appear in the device list,

(iii) Immediately right click on that icon and go properties. When the icon disappears, you still have the dialogue box open, suitable for manually specifying the location of the USB drivers.


And an additional piece of trivia: After I started my phone on the update process, I suddenly realised - only 42% battery remained! Ahh! But it was too late to unplug the phone.
Would you believe it came out ok - with a cool 0% battery remaining. I wouldn't want to see a repeat of this, as it could properly ruin the phone, but rest safe in the knowledge that at has been done on a low battery level at least once!

Furthermore – I noticed that the phone prompts to add contact birthday information to the calendar as a recurrent event. This hasn’t always been the case has it? I’ve never tried it before now, but did see that Eldar made quite a note about the K800i’s ability to do this…

Rather big post: over and out!

@ manilabynight

The only thing i can think to try is to try the updater again, but when it comes up saying no update available, try clicking "continue anyway". This will attempt to reflash the phone with the current firmware again, my guess is that the updater has updated the part of the firmware with the revision no in it before crashing out, therefore when you try again it thinks you already have the latest f/ware. if you don't get this option then try updating update service to 2.6.3.3. Good Luck..



where do i get version 2.6.3.3 ? Is this version compatible with where I am located in the Philippines?

I tried going back to the site and when I now click on the Philippine site to get a fresh copy of the SEUS updater I get an error on the webpage that the page does not exist!

I'm just getting all the more frustrated by this. My phone was in good condition before I attempted this update and now it simply won't switch on. I hope it's just a battery problem but I just fully charged my battery last night. Too bad I don't have my charger with me now I'm at the office.
