Did they say those fixes were coming?
If they were careless enough to release the FW with those flaws in the 1st place, who knows what you/we wont be able to do next time we update. Be careful what you wish for. Hehe
The way some sound on here, its as if N.A.S.A were releasing the FW - LOL!!!

True,
though, knowing SE from my previous phones and because we've been waiting for weeks now i assume they've fixed all the problems. I mean, there's no reason for them to take so long if they werent fixing/optimizing this phone.
Surely they understand that they'll lose users when they wont release a proper firmware soon.
;P
goodnight

Well, whatever.
If they don't release the update, their problem. My trust for SE will go down the tubes. And consequently, I won't be buying their phones in the future.

Dear Holdit, you are a complete moron. The reason people are getting worked up is because the phone does NOT WORK the way it is supposed to. We aren’t waiting for new features, we are waiting for fixes to the crippling bugs. We are waiting for the phone to function the way it should have from day one..

Me the moron? haha! I bet you cant sleep at night because of this FW -
Stop making out the phones current FW is crippling. It aint that bad...If it was, SE would have done a recall or you would have sold/returned your phone.
No ones saying new FW's aint welcome, but people like you are obsessed and should just chill and let the FW turn up when its ready.
Lets us all pray the FW comes ASAP just for you, as your phone does NOT WORK - Lol!!!!!

Youre right. Yes you are a moron and no I cant sleep at night. But I had trouble sleeping even before this phone. I hope your car’s breaks fail on the highway and Sony Ericsson makes you wait 4 months for a new firmware

I agree. The current firmware isn't as bad as people are making it out to be. I use the camera and media player heavily, and some accessories such as the HBH-DS980 and HGE-100 and there really aren't any major bugs (flash works fine for me, I haven't had any problems with the volume control). Nothing like when the K800 was new and there were bugs where it would reboot etc. My only major complaint is with the sluggishness of the media player (I have an 8 GB MicroSD full of music), which is why I'm keeping my eye out for an update.

At first please notice that the newest f/w with nubmer 038/039 is only available for branded phones ... Generic customers of SE have got only 037 ... But in 037 there are some major bugs ... Esspecialy equalizer bug withc makes me nervous to set up manual seeteing every time i want to listening music and that makes me angry so please don`t tell me that there is no needed new f/w ... i forgot abut bugs in connection with hbh-ds980 and volume control ... I want to decrease and increase volume without reboot my k850 ... and thats the reason why i`m waiting for new firmware so don`t say that the lates one i ok ... because for me the latest one is 037 ...
Posted by Kennif
Just tried seus and still no update for my 038 o2 k850i. Is it being rolled out slowly? Is this 039 firmware a hoax? Why I'm I so Obsessed with this? ...............
Posted by fullforce
Well well well! I just got off the phone with a now FORMER SE service centre and they told me that in Sweden there are as from december last year no service centres exept one(and that repair shop is horriffic by the way) So some of the phones will in our case be repaired abroad and the rest by the only SE repair shop. Thas's gooood customers care indeed!This is now under somekind of negotiation because of protests from the retailers. So there is hope.

Its a good thing SE dont make my car then isn't it ! Oh and its getting serviced this friday. They even come and pick it up so I should be ok on all roads and highways
Look what a FW update has done to you. Your wishing all sorts of badluck on people. Your crazy - Lets hope nothing happens to you.
Anyway, I'm done talking to desperate people like you crying about your phone on the internet.
Take care young jedi. May the force be with you. LOL!

in the media player

ok I found it, not very easy to find though is it, doesn't even mention it in the instruction manual, does this mean you have to set the equalizer for each individual track?
Back on topic.... I want new firmware.

No not for eah individual track..it works like every other equalizer (on an amp, wmp, itunes, winamp etc.)
Even k750 had an equalizer.

Guys... I managed to get the 'H' icon on the phone... which then promptly crashed... does this mean that there could be an issue with the software handling the switch from 3G to 3.5G?
BTW, for my 2p worth... What I want in the new firmware:
- faster operation;
- stable OS;
- no lag in Media Centre transitions
- PROPER MP4/3GP video support
- MegaBass fix;
- SenseMe for music files not ripped from CD's
- Camera driver improvement
- Do SOMETHING about HSDPA!
Posted by turboy
SenseMe?

Yes, and in the K750 and K800 it was easy to find!! I've got an iPod since then though so this is only a secondary mp3 player, and that is a really stupid place to put the eq settings anyway!

I don't think much people here cares about what SE is testing out for the future but what matters is releasing something to fix the current bugs and boost the phone first.

Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd post an update about my removed Camera lens cover )The glass one on the K850i).
Its now been over a month, and the camera has been fine - no issues with anything, no breakages, nothing - so yes - removing the glass cover has NO negative impact on the K850i.
On the other hand, I have decided to sell my K850i - as the camera just isnt up to scratch - the poor sensor makes for soft pictures, lacking detail and poor colour representation (It repaints anything red in a photo PINK) - plus the Media Manager is not fast enough - I am a Sony Ericsson user through and through - but Ill stick by my T650i until I see some serious improvements from the K Series Flagship - although admittedly, I have had some good experiences with the K850i (Good Video recording etc).
Im really pryaing to God that Sony Ericsson fix the K850i, and soon - or indeed release a K810i style update, and fast (Please keep the great keys, I love the Sony Ericsson Keypads)!

Yes... The W910i and K850i share a software platform, so the firmware releases will be worked on at the same time, with emphasis on camera functions for the K850 and Walkman functions for the W910i

Are you stupid or what? Bugs get discovered by testing the firmware. Even if they only fix the old bugs it should be tested because fixing bugs can create new bugs. And good testing takes months.

My SEUS (the app not the firmware) is updating now. By my recolection that means they're ready for new firmware (confirmation??). We'll see in a few minutes...
Edit: Looks like the update was to add the W890 and Z555 into the phones list. No firmware. Maybe tomorrow..

I think APP update is to add new phones/changes to the program..
For firmware they'd just need to update their servers..i dont see why the programs would need an update

I'm disappointed at the level of professionalism here. Stating a time to deliver something then not doing it without an apology or correction is not good handling of business. If they didn't say January I don't think that many people would be incredibly unhappy, the current firmwares out are ok. They're almost stable (which is the best that you're going to get with some manufacturer's), they could just do with a few tweaks. I for one, believe the new firmwares are worth the wait, but telling us they'll be here and not sticking to it is bad form.

1 thing tho,
It's only thursday 12AM in the USA, maybe their firmware guys are in the USA =/
Posted by p!xarus
No I don't think so..
I have talked to the SE Support here in Norway, they told me that they have deleted the 038 FW from the "over air update" and that a new update was ready in week 6.
Posted by tonchy
I am starting to think that this FW update is nothing but the propagation of the 039 to all networks and unbranded phones, otherwise why would they release the 039 FW for "3" a few days before a major FW release? i don't understand.
Can someone from "3" network comment on how buggy or unbuggy 039 FW is?
