Its been about 3 months since I upgraded my K750 to R1CA. After that I have this strange problem of Java applications failing to open up with the error message 'Application Error'. Now I am not able to run most of the applications/games that worked perfectly fine before. Pls dont tell me to update my software unless there is no other option. I dont want to get stuck with a stupid media player bundled with the R1BD.

Solution will be to replace the media player settings file with the older one using FAR. But I have no idea how to go about it.

Keywords: k750 bluetooth problem R1CA021 file transfer service discovery Refresing service list

Hi girls and guys, geeks and gurus!

I am experiencing heavy Bluetooth problems with my k750i running the firmware version R1CA021.

I'd like to use the Bluetooth file transfer to load music from PC into my K750i .

Facts:
--------

- Phone has been flashed to R1CA021 to solve the USB data cable file transfer problems. The wired transfer now works fine.

- Phone has successfully transferred files (MP3, bigger sizes, some megs) to and from some other SE phones over Bluetooth.

- Phone failed to transfer files to and from any Bluetooth-equipped PCs I could put my hands on.

- The two PCs I have tried with use different BT chipsets (broadcom and IVT), both works fine with other phones each other, etc.

- I have an another K750i at hand, with firmware version R1N035, BT works fine, both directions, with PCs.

Detailed problem description:
------------------------------------

- Sometimes I'm able to get to the point of pairing the phone with a BT eqiupped PC, but progressing to Bluetooth service discovery it seems to be getting into an infinite loop. It says "Refresing service list", the fake progress bar is being rotated, but from this point it's unresponsive, whatever time I wait, no real progress from this point on. It's getting unresponsive, stucks in this stage, only reboot (reset) helps.
The other K750i (with the R1N035 fw) works just fine in this here scenario, returns with the service list as it's supposed to do.

Impression, final toughts, opinions:
-------------------------------------------

- In my opinion it must be the firmware 'cause it ain't the hardware

Would it be a HW problem, the file transfer wouldn't work between the (both SE manufactured) phones either. Well, while it works between the phones, but not between this stupid phone and the PCs. I suppose this must be a bug in the R1CA021.
If it is, then quite strange and sad. The sooner fw. version is working, the later isn't ? Did SE ever hear about pre-release SW quality testing? Do they have a checklist? How can they afford to loose functionality which worked once?
Since the didn't do any release for the K750 in the last months, I suppose they won't release any more.
As for my phone, the Sony Ericssony Update Service (SEUS) says, I have the latest (official) firmware. I know it's just the half of the truth, I could start to experiment with R1DB001 or the W800 firmware at Wotan or some other sites to upgrade. Maybe things get even worse going on these side-tracks. I do not trust SE firmware upgrade any more. Official or unofficial.

The sad thing is if it's really the latest intended and published official firmware upgrade for this model (as I see), well, then we will have to learn to live without this feature we've benn promised to have and which we've payed cash for

One way I really like this phone, especially for the good sound quality, and for it's promised feature richness. But it has some week points, too: keyboard and joystick starts becoming hard to use after only (!!) a half year of daily use. I think it's engineered this way to limit the product lifecycle period.
It was no big news for me that the earlier FW versions had bugs, so their releases bleed here and there, from several wounds.
But I find it surprising that functions which once worked start to fail in newer releases. I might be wrong, but I think, their pre-release testing team must be crap.

Questions:
---------------

- Did anybody run into similar problems?
- Did anybody solve this somehow?
- Did anybody try to downgrade in a scenario like this?
- Did anybody try the W800i upgrade, does the W800i's latest firmware behave well generally, and in terms of music playback quality and bluetooth?
- Do you think it is worth to submit this as a bug report? Will they react?
- Do you gurus out there happen have any recommendations, ideas, opinions?

Thanks for reading.
Thanks for any answer, idea or solution.

David, Hungary

Wow, it's been months since I upgraded to K800i. I miss the moments when I had K750i, then updated from R1N035, R1AA008, R1BC,R1CA021..ahh..I miss the MegaBass and the tiny size of the phone and also the bugs experience with this phone in the past..I'm happy with my K800i now..ok, guys, keep on alerted on the firmwares..as I have no more K750i, I can't fully feel all your disappointment with the latest R1DB001. Cheers.
