etaab, yeah I didn't think it was likely just mentioned it incase.

I feel for ya, and your R1N probs. I'd be equally pissed, allthough the cable probs would have had me returning the phone to have R1L put back. Basically in my view if the camera doesn't work and/or the usb cable doesn't work, that's not performing as advertised. I'd make them replace the handset until I get one that works.

Hopefully SE will get onto this R1N stuff-up soon. They've already pulled R1N from SEUS, then put it back with nothing fixed. Hopefully they'll do better next time.

I'm keen to get R1N for the bluetooth ask once permissions, but I've been holding off after seeing the probs that eventuated with R1N.

I too have had problems, but they seem a little different. I have a sandisk 1g card that works in the phone but when I try to use a card reader(since I hate the USB connection with the phone that constantly drops, or takes five tries to connect) it freezes my computer. I cannot even get to a point where I could see what data is on the card. Dispite this I am still able to listen to MP3 files in the phone. Does anyone know what the deal is?

Using the 512Mb Sandisk card that came with my phone and the USB cable, running on a XP2500+, Nforce2 Ultra-400, newest chipset drivers and SP1, using standard drag & drop transfer and Disk2Phone I was unable to make more than 6 songs end up on the phone from ~460Mb of material that was supposed to be transferred. The transfer took 25 minutes with D2P and it confirmed it as done, I used the safe removal and removed the cable, only to find that 420Mb was still free on the card. It seems like it managed to transfer the first 6-something songs in the transfer list. No warnings occured in the system logbook. I did notice that D2P seemed to start from 50% on the songs that it couldn't transfer, shortly after finishing the last song.

Update: Tried transferring another 6 songs to the phone, Only 1 actually made it to the phone, however 5 other songs now appeared, all of them transferred at a previous time, when 6 songs showed up. This problem is really interesting, the songs actually being present on the phone, just not showing up, appearing when a new batch is sent.

Edit: Been transferring batches of 6 songs for a while now, using safe removal between the batches and checking in the walkman player if they showed up, it seems like they all manage to make it on to the phone.

Edit2: It seems as if songs starting with the number 09 gets their tags corrupted, in two separate albums/batches the songs numbered 09 refuses to show the tag in the playlist.

Edit3: Tried transferring two batches of 7 songs, one failed (4 making it to the phone), second one worked.

Edit4: Batches of 6, drag and drop, safe removal between the batches, 100% success rate. More than 6 and it becomes random (as far as I can see, haven't performed enough testing yet, will continue tomorrow) which songs, and how many that actually end up on the card.

Edit5: The errors only seem to occur due to a too large number of files, the amount of data doesn't seem to be involved, I transferred batches from around 20 mb up to batches of 70-80 mb.

interesting test results there OliT.

This is definately an incarnation of the R1N usb transfer bug.

@drj, your problem sounds like a corrupt memory card (reformat it using the phone and retest). However the fact your usb cable connection crashes may also indicate you have the R1N bug as well. I'd format the card then retest the cable connection - it may be okay if the problem is just with the card.

Definitely format that card or try another one before writing off the phone.

Hi,
I'm having, I think, a similar problem with my new w800i - when I try to copy music using disc2phone or drag/drop it seems to have worked but, when I look on the phone only some, if any of the files have actually made it. I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this part before though - sometimes when I go to copy more tracks, not only do they behave in the same manner, but any tracks that have been copied successfully previously can vanish, completely at random.
I'm very confused. Whats the best move to make - and if it is to reformat/reset, exactly how do I do that? Oh, and having tried putting tracks directly onto memory card though integral laptop card reader, it seems to copy fine but when I turn the phone on none of the tracks are there - album folders might be, but they've got nothing in them. I've tried to update the firmware, but it failed twice and now as soon as I start trying to use seus, it tells me 'there is currently no service for devices belonging to your operator.' Please, somebody, help!!

Hi,

exactly the same problems here.. - USB transfer worked fine on previous F/W now it's a real pain. Seems a lot slower even just for a few files too. Tried it on about 5 different PC's - has same problem on all of them.

In comparison I can transfer 130MB of MP3's from a USB sitck in 30 seconds or so but trying to to transfer them to my K750i starts ok but quickly shows over 60 minutes in the Windows copy dialog....

Am really annoyed with this. - am on 02 Uk so waited for ages for this new firmware as it is....

Can anyone tell me how I go about downgrading the f/w??

Cheers,
Bennyboo

This bug is really a pain in the ass!!!! Many of my photos stored in the MS were corrupted, im afraid of losing everthing!!!

I have no doubt this is an f/w related problem... everybody, including me, get this annoying malfunction after upgrading to r1n035... i simply cant accept the fact of losing my files when already stored or even when transfering via usb cable!

Damn SE's slacker programmers

I have a k750i converted to w800's w/ r1n035 and I'm really considering get back to K750's R1L002 f/w

:marvel2k5 - how do you go about downgrading to R1L002 f/w? Can it be done with just seus tools?

cheers,

I had the problem with transfering music to W800 after upgrading firmware, MP3s disappeared, slow transfer. Tried different computers and different Duo cards, still transfer failed and slowed down in windows and with Disc2phone. Today I shut down the phone, removed the battery, replaced battery, restarted and have so far transfered 3 albums with Disc2phone with no problem whatsoever. Is this a fix or am I a lucky son of a b*t*h?
