hmm, I turned it off every night, but I didn´t take out the battery. I´ll try that. thanks!

All those rebooting and BROD issues make me think about what I will do if my k850 will brick for the third time. I live in Germany, and here I can get my money back (by law) and choose another phone if that happens. If I take a k850 again, will that still have those issues or did they figure it out with the newly produced phones (lets assume I would get one fresh out of the factory )? I know, BROD started with the 031 firmware, but I am still hoping this might be a hardware-software-combination-problem.

Well, best thing will be to hope for a new firmware or some miracle to prevent me from a third BROD.

Best (and possibly ONLY) thing to do to avoid BROD - stay away from 031 and R1EA037. Otherwise, if you've had one BROD with either of these two firmwares, chances are you'll get more. I had two BRODs - one after upgrading to 031 via SEUS at which point my phone had never been touched by a 3rd party utility, and one after I fixed the 1st BROD using DaVinci to put 031 back on the phone. After that I used DaVinci to put R1CA037 back on my phone and haven't had but 3 reboots in 3 months.

The K850 has an ARM11 running at 220 MHz, same is the K810.

I turn my phone off every night and take the battery out regularly but it hasnt reduced my reboots or crashes, it has to be the 2 most recent firmwares and it appears too general to find any specific cause.

I went for K850i Red CID52 1202-5694 R1EA037 K850 1201-9794 CUSTOMIZED UK/ BLUE

No noticeable issues yet. Runs a lot quicker though.

Do I Upgade?

I recently had my o2 branded K850i replaced by o2 for faulty touch keys - also that handset crashed alot, was slow, and the camera always over-exposed rendering it useless.

Now my replacement is perfect. camera works, it's only crashed once but not BSOD. its on R1EA031. do i upgrade or do i leave it? will the upgrade bring any benefits or is it a worthless risk to take?
