Nope, My phone was bought unbranded at Dustin in Sweden and I got the infamous operation failed after a month (phone delivered with 029 FW). I flashed using SEUS to 037 but the problem didn't go away, so I got it re flashed by a SE center to 037 (loosing all settings). I upgraded to 031 as soon as it got released on SEUS and started getting the spontaneous reboots (0-2 a day). My Opera mini lost all setting s the other day as well (acted like on the first install).

So it's definitely something seriously wrong with this FW (or a combination of the HW and the FW)

I'm really really disappointed in the quality of this phone.

I updaded to R1EA031 exactly when it appeared, i have an Adriatic unbranded version,
i had no bugs restarts or other problems until now, i just tried to charge my phone and i also got what you people describe as the blue ring of death,
i need an urgent solution as SEUS does not longer cooperates with my phone and i live abroad.
I dont think that Sony Service will help me here, is there another solution despite Da vinci to go through that problem???

Im confused as you say its not a firmware issue?

The vidoes on My K800 and other branded mobile phones play my Mp4s fine. Not one out of sync issue. However the K850i struggles.

It is a firmware problem or the phone cant handle the video with the processor in the phone.

The video plays the videos fine if you rewind the video after a few seconds, however after a min or so its out of sync again.

Before the last firmware, it was always out of sync so we have some improvement.

The K850i is a flagship model and im sorry to say as much as i luv it, I cant rate it to people.

Ive rated the T68i, T610, K700, K750, K800 and K810. When im aksed about the K850, I just say its ok, Nothing new lots of problems.

A Few people at work had the K850i, However only 2 are left. rest have got rid of it, or returned it as being faulty.

The creaking of the phone is shockingly poor, software is poor. With more problems in R1EA031 and I have the constant reboot problems.

In My eyes, SE have lost interest in the phone, cant be bothered in dealing with customer problems as when you email or ring them they just answer you with a blanket update.

I know that the Manufacture isnt going to admit that there is a problem, but R1EA031 is a better firmware than the other, but 6 months down the line the phone is still rebooting (More now than ever) and the basics still dont work.

I have been a loyal lover of K Cyber-shot series. And K850i does NOT let me down at all. NO reboots at all regarding R1EA031 firmware. I use Opera Mini, camera, Gmail, streaming, Media Player, SMS, internet and most of the rest features everyday and I have NOT encountered rebooting at all. I just can't describe why most people experience it.

OMG i never had problems with R1CA029 firmware except for the equalizer bug.
i updated the firmware to R1EA031 and my phone is restarting sometimes with no reason
the sacrifice of better sound and faster menus
i Thought i never going to say this but F/%&/$% Sony Ericsson, so much time to make a new firmware and become with this

my friend HAD a 3 branded 038 (its unlocked now)... should he just flash to 037 with same CDA and then just uppdate to 031 via seus ????

ps... he say 3 have unlock the phone recentley, so it should only be to uppdate to a new firmware to get the CDA right. and then uppdate via seus...or ????

I would leave 38 on, I had 38 and it was just as fast. The only difference is vibra touch and battery life is better. But the idea of my phone getting the blue ring at anytime doesn't sit well with me.

By the way, whoever said that the Opera mini settings were reset and it had to be installed again as if run for the first time, the same happened to me 3 days ago. I didn't know what that was, I thought I accidentally did something.

I just hope SE puts something more stable out soon. If you think about it, this forum is less than 1% of all k850 users world wide. I am sure majority of them have upgraded to 31, and a good portion of them (judging by the ratio in this forum) have had the BROD. Now, the majority of those people I am sure do not use Davinci, KK, or any other 3rd party to reflash, they send/bring it to SE or their carrier. So SE has to be very well aware of this problem and get the point that this is not an isolated incident. Let's see how long it takes them...

I've been submitting some new features of this new unstable firmware, but it seems that they didn't make the front page. Maybe the guy who can edit it is lazy.

Anyway... here's a new one:

You can set Java applications as shortcuts. For example, in the standby screen I can press right to start Opera Mini.

You can also set them to My shortcuts menu.
