LOL... that's all you wanted huh...
Anyway yes, video is not possible without an accelerator chip inside the phone. w900 has such a chip and that is why it has better video. Video is too intense for the regular CPU to handle alone.

the mms writing seems to've changed a lot. they have a kind of scroll bar under the message space (above the softkeys) with buttons for adding pics, vids, sounds, camera, record and preview.
and yeh, the clock's cool. lol.

oh, and anyone who updates hoping it'll bring back there delivery report options. it doesn't. (it seems to be unbranding from 3 you lose the option for delivery reports which sucks majorly - unless i'm being silly and there's an obvious solution which noone has mentioned in my trawl of the interMcwebnet?)

yeh looks kinda cool the new mss, seems louder to me but on old firmware i never really noticed the bugs my handset just died im on my 3rd k800 hope this one lasts
Posted by sPank
someone punch me for this question...sorry.
I'm kinda confused about Wotan....is it basically a random company that modifies firmware and releases it at a price? it voids the warranty im guessing...? So in regards to the K800, the Wotan guys have released a new firmware to (possibly) fix all the bugs before SE has???
Posted by Cupidon
What about the sound quality and volume (especially in headset).I really hope they`ve fixed this problem whith the new firmware.

I just upgraded to R1ED001 via WotanServer and my Vodafone branding was removed (As i expected / wanted). What i didnt realise is that the two buttons which have a red and green phone symbol on them were part of the branding and not the default for the phone. Im used to pressing these buttons to make / answer / reject calls and cancel things, but now they perform other functions. Is there any way of making them function as before? I cant see the option in customise shortcuts.
RA.

Spend $15 from www.novamedia.de or go to http://mobile.feisar.com/ and download the plugins.

No. Wotan is a company or service provider just like Total Multi-Server, DaVinci, etc.... They all pay a fee to SE to have access to their servers and software. They are not performing any real modification to the code. If so, I would NEVER consider flashing via one of these services.

Dude,
You really should consider some sort of emotion control therapy. At the end of the day it is only a phone, a phone, a phone, a phone. Not a Swiss Army Knife. For the most part it does all it intends to do pretty well, with a minor hiccup here and there, but you want a miracle phone and as far as I know, SE does not make one.
Posted by darrengf
Well I sort of said that SE would release the firmware today and they have.
R1ED001 MR1 (Master Release 1) was released (06Sep2006).
Now i know that its not on the SE update site. Im sorry to say that im still waiting to hear when they are. I have had no update to this so i don't know my self.
But now the release is offical I can only think it will be a matter of days.
I know that the SE Update service has just updated, so it may be on from tomorrow. But again dont quote me on this one.
Sorry i cant be more help. I wish i could be.

I debranded from 3 to generic, and I get delivery reports as usual. (I would have been raising h-ll otherwise, being dependent on it.)

Also quicker at loading photos and on the task menu under the bookmarks section instead of just havin them listed you go into it and then have to go into a folder called bookmarks and the globe on the browser flashes when loading a page

can someone test if the profile changes when you hook it up to a car bluetooth system with the new firmware?
Posted by mwarner
Updated R1ED001 entry in the first post following software version information and UI changes listed by the users in this thread.
If anyone with this firmware revision could do a Java benchmark I would appreciate it - not that I expect anything as the Java software revision is the same.

It's gone to OA today, so Wotans leak is probably at an operator.

Hmm.. strange. I´ve installed SEUS on my PC and tried to upgrade, but I didnt suceed. "Youe have the latest software installed" .. why?!

LOL. Well the update hasn't been released on SEUS yet, only WotanServer. You gotta pay them to upgrade your phone... an advantage of this is you get F/W updates earlier, or you can modify your phone's F/W to something it wasn't intended for for different languages and such.
Posted by ghostfreak
After upgrading through Wotanserver, the updated firmware now displays 'Print' as an option onscreen (with File Transfer and Phone Mode) when you plug in your USB cable
**EDIT**
When you click on the Print option you are prompted to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable...when you reconnet the cable then it says onscreen 'PictBridge enabled. Select one or several pictures and press Print'. Your computer should also install a 'Digital Still Camera'
This feature rocks!
There's also an egg timer appears when you go through the File Manager tabs...I don't think it was there before.

We already waiting for the new f/w so long....I would like to know whether the new F/W had fixed the listed known bugs? What fixed?
Thanks
Posted by mokkawokka
Question, not a moan...
Being new to Sony Ericsson phones and having not yet had a firmware update for my K800i, I wondered how it is that Wotan Server gets the updated firmware, and releases it before it's available via the SEUS?
Do they have an agreement with SE to be able to do this, so they can cash in on being the only ones with the updates for a few days before it's released to everyone else for free?

Dont know if this is a bug but noticed the screen times out to a blank display a bit quicker than what feels comfortable

Now that I have stopped laughing, I can ask you to please explain: "comfortable".
Posted by drich290195
Ok perfect example browsing wap look away for k minute the standby clock comes on and the only way to get it off is too press a key the joystick does not do it also the alarm screen has changed

Ok. I am trying to understand. When you say, "k" minute, what do you mean? Do you mean, 'a" minute? Second, the screen probably times out like it should as to save battery via power saving mode. You can configure this, but I still do not know what you mean by "comfortable".
Posted by drich290195
Cant be user configured and by saying comfortable i mean it is awkward and why you picking at spelling im only expressing my opinions and findings why pick at it

Wow! Can you elaborate on how the alarm screen is diferent? Thanks. And are you meaning that pressing the joystick from the standby clock no longer wakes the phone? I think I liked this addition over the K750 actually.
Posted by drich290195
Also radio app does not quit like it did before when you remove headset it stays running so when you plug it back in it reactivates

Apologies for a somewhat distant question - is someone from an area in Europe (where the shutter sound is muted in silent mode) able to tell me which region they are in? EU_1 or EU_2?
Thank-you kindly!
I'm about to reflash and change regions, and just want to be sure I'm not putting the default Aus firmware on! Cheers.
Posted by aremaboy
Why doesn't anyone with R1ED001 refer to the bugs listed in the 1st post? Let us know that they are fixed or not. Anyone?

Dude,
If I was picking on you, you would know. I am just trying to understand your problem with your phone. NOthing more. With that. I will not ask you again. Good luck.
Posted by >500
@jasond
im fairly sure you can use both eu1 or eu2.
Why does it matter if its the australian version, would you not rather it be, i know i would coz my mms stuff up because of the china firmware im guessing...
Posted by drich290195
No probs. It goes to standby clock too quickly and it cant be user configured is what i mean
Posted by utsavtalwar
are their any sound improvements really praying for that...
and please post a change log if possible..
just tried updating using ota on my k790i and still "i have the latest software" bullshit..
cheers

where can i download j benchmark with my phone to post results
Posted by mwarner
JBenchmark can be downloaded from:
http://www.jbenchmark.com/download.jsp
The following bugs should be easy to reproduce with the new firmware. If anyone could test these for me and let me know which are fixed and which are still problematic I will update the first post:
---------------
1 - Plugging in headphones whilst watching a movie causes the screen to go into standby mode. Pausing the movie before plugging them in bypasses the problem.
2 - Whilst in the Main Menu, if you select a menu item with the keypad (e.g. 7 for the file manager) and then hit Back to go back to the Main Menu, the selected menu item will be highlighted but the title will be incorrect (it will display the name of the previous menu item selected)
3 - The text searching feature in the File Manager does not work. This menu should really use 1-9 to select a specific menu item rather than doing a rather pointless text search on the 9 menu items.
4 - The total call time in the Service Menu / Service Tests / Total Call Time does not match the time in Settings / Calls / Time & cost / Call timers.
5 - Changing between full-screen and Landscape while watching a paused video resets the timer to 00:00 until the video is unpaused.
6 - The RSS icon always appears after rebooting the phone until the user enters the Messaging / RSS Reader menu.
We will worry about the more complex / intermittant bugs when more people have the new firmware.

Can anyone with the new firmware tell me:-
1) If the green line is gone when recording video?
2) If the volume on the music player is any louder when listening throught the headphones?
Thanks.
Posted by maldus
does the new f/w take care of the switch off problem (where the phone switches off itself and doesnt start till the battery is replaced or power button pressed for 10-15 seconds) ????
Posted by drich290195
Green line gone in video also their is now a slight black border round the view in video record mode bit like wide screen telly but at the sides not that thick though. Sound does not appear to have been altered.

Interesting JBenchmark2 differences between firmware - 1230 up from 1018. Of course, each run is slightly different, but a 21% increase is significant.
Could anyone do JBenchmark 1 and HD runs for me?
