Hello all,

I have just brough a seconh hand K750i and i noticed the firmware is old so i want to udate on SEUS II. The phone is unbranded UK (CDA 102338/38 R6A). If i update the firmware can you tell me what will it be updated too as i have seen that there are problems with R1DB001.

Many Thanks

well you can upgrade it to R1CA. that is ok.

Thanks, so are you saying that SUES allows you to select a specific version of firmware ?

Posted by zionist87
I don't think u can choose the firmware version. It's automatic.

ok, so does anyone know what firmware version is currently being flashed. The post for 'K750i firmware overview' states that its R1CA021 for UK phones. Is this still true or will it flash with version R1DB001.

Thanks for the responses so far.

Just try SEUS..that's the only way to know which f/w is offered. But if you're unsure, don't do that. I just killed a mate's K750 via SEUS..So sad..

Mi updated mine to R1bdb001 yesterday , the quality of the sound has gone , it was very nice in the old r1ca*** . i suggest not to do that andtry some other thing other thatn SEUS .

People can you please help me with my k750i CID49 i have a poor sound qulaity due to my upgarde to r1db001 .

Posted by deanh
thanks but i read your response too late and flashed it last night. The process went fine and as you say it is now R1BD.

Maybe the 'K750i firmware overview' post should be updated in light of this.

Can't say i have noticed the audio output being poor but then again i haven't heard what it was like on the previous firmware version.

If the sound is that much better on the previous firmware then i too would be interested in knowing how to restore the audio files back as i have read some posts on this but i'm still a little confused.

how do i know what firmware i have right now in my k750i?

>*<<*<* service info and then software info

Hey Guys, Sorry to say but there is no way U can change the Quality of Sound if UR Phone is CID49. Let's Hope the SE will bring out another Firmware Soon to solve this problem.

Posted by tranced
well, davinci lets you change CID49 to CID36 but im not sure at all. after it is done you can use far manager to change the accoustics settings. but far manager does not support CID49 phones.

Problem? Do u think its a problem? Well i think this is just what SE wanted to do. Downgrade sound of almost all its non-walkman phones as seen previously in K790 and P990. Forget it, SE ain't gonna fix it. Their strategy for poor sound sucks.

I was so happy when i got it updated and then i plugged in my headphones... the w800i ones that i have bought separately from a layman but the sound quality was totally a disappointment and i regret the day i updated it i was wondering if theres some way we can atleast have some plugin flashed in the phone that could upgrade its walkman sounds quality?

plus, what do you all say if i say that SE has done it purposely, so that users must switch to their walkman series...

waiting for your replys...

cheers

I'm not sure about the sound quality but when I upgraded my K750 to R1DB001 the joystick started to not respond, and the camera quality went down hill, It's virtually impossible to take a photo in low light conditions now, all the colours are wrong and there are terrible lines accross the picture.
It got so bad that I stopped using in and am now using my old S700 again.

you sure its the firmware that made your joystick go ga-ga?! my joystick went array just a couple of days ago and its really irritating to the point where you dont know if your applying enuff pressure for it to respond...

just made some dust cleaning.... exercised the stick to move in any direction... and eventually it went back to its normal self.

@rockygali

I don't think it's dust as I keep my phones very clean plus I have tried cleaning it and exercising the joystick.

One minute it's working fine then it will stop responding, if I leave it alone for a while it will start working again or if I restart the phone.

It went like this on an earlier firmware, then when I updated it the problem was resolved. I only kept on updating the firmware to try and resolve some minor bt problems I was having with the phone ie, trying to get it to pair properly with a bluetrek g2 headset.

For me the K750 is an excellent phone however I feel very let down by se with the constant firmware problems.

Lucky for you, you get to upgrade at all. Some days ago, my phone broke down and left me with a BLINKING white blank screen. Since there's no service centre in my area, I brought it to a local repair shop. They installed this Firmware Version:R1N035. I tried updating my FW via SEUS and it told me i have the latest firmware or something like that.

The firmware that was originally installed in my phone was R1CA029 in the first place. I wonder if that's the reason that now, I have a STEADY white blank screen. I also checked my phone using DaVinci and found out it's a CID49.

Now I'm stuck with a firmwareless phone until I find something to fix this prob of mine.

Which ones the latest one; R1DB001 or R1CA021 and whats the difference between the two firmwares?

hgautam; My Mate, My Friend has the Same Problem With His W810i After the Upgrade & That is Walkman Series Phone by the way Which I think Proves UR Theory about SE Strategy Wrong. Moreover WTH makes them do so & that too when K750i is almost at its End-Of-Life Phase.

@nastikrue:

I had the same problem occured same days back but it had got nothing to do with software, its your LCD thats gone bad now so firmware upgradation wouldnt bring the dead back, what you can do is, since you have no service center there ask the local repair center guy to replace its LCD i.e if he has the capabilities of actually doing it as K750i is far more complexed than the other handsets of SE.

Peace up!
