Has anyone with the generic firmware in the UK noticed that there is no symbol for HSDPA coverage?? When on the Voda firmware I had a 3G symbol and a 3g+ symbol when I was in HSDPA areas and in Menu->Settings->Connectivity->Mobile networks->GSM/3G networks it had an option for GSM, 3G and HSDPA, but now only has GSM and 3G. Does the generic firmware disable the HSDPA or has it bundled it together under the general umbrella of 3G??

I was on voda, and debranded to the UK customised FW - now i get an 'H' symbol for HSDPA or 3G when in 3G areas. Are you sure you're just not getting the coverage?

Sorry if this has been covered, But I can't make sense of all these codes.
I bought an unlocked k850i from PhoneSource USA.
I am still on the ...29 firmware. When I try to update it says no update. Are others having the same result? Should I be getting an update?
Thanks in advance.

@Ricky D
Since on the new firmware, I've only seen "H" once. I didn't see it all that often on 029, but more than with 037!
Posted by Terminatorak
I had an O2 branded K850i and never saw the 'H' or '3G+' on 029 or 037.
Also, my K850i started restarting alot after I updated.

Orange uk would show 3g but never H. debranded mine and updated to 037
but still getting the restarts, though very few compared to the original
orange 029 firmware.

Hey! I got it from BelCompany too.
Just like you, I don't have the problems everybody else seems to be having. The only thing that bothers me, is that the media center is incredibly slow (all the time). Just like the phone is when you start listening to some music, it becomes allmost impossible to write a sms or search for a contact.
Yeah, it's true. While listen music, everything goes very slow. First I use 2GB MicroSD, it was endurable but after I upgrade 8GB MicroSDHC, it becomes like 8bit computer like 20 years old.
And there is still some problems such as;
- Volume control sometimes disapper. Turn phone off and on again, it solves.
- WMV file playing fail very very sometimes, also turn off and on again, it solves.
- Playing MP4 movie file, voice and screen sync is not matched very seriously, it depens how big MP4 file is.
- Dust inside of Lens cover... it is really annoying...
- Of course it's like fingerprint collection tape from police lab.
But no other problems like contact's birthday can't connect with calendar nor flash does not sync when it works at pitch black environment... etc.
I think BelCompany's 029 firmware is much fixed and better than others. Holla!
The update is available, mine is updating now.

@Pakzal,
Please let me know about 037 upgrade, is it via SEUS or FOTA?
Is there any remarkable improvements?
Something like speed up...??
Posted by vishaldh
my vodafone branded one doesnt find any updates through SEUS yet and there is no option within the phone for remote update :S
i wonder if we'll get the 037 firmware or go straight to the new one when its out.
Posted by timboob
Updated my Orange 029 to 037 via SEUS. WOW what a complete let down. I had and still have the 'Operation Failed' problems I was having before. And still having the media browser speed problems, also had a couple of restarts now, didn't have them before!
I know the 037 was for mostly camera specific problems, but come on, they could have done more.
For everyone fussing over the 037 update, I'd be waiting much, much more to the 'proper' update around the 10 Dec, hoping that is worth the wait!!!
Posted by Ickle
updated mine but still got the 'operation failed' in games and application >_<
anyone know how to fix this problem?
Posted by aremaboy
Updating the firmware via SEUS cannot fix Operation Failed bug at all. The only way is reflashing the phone firmware via SE Service Centre or www.davinciteam.com .

Um I've an Orange K850i on version 29 and I can't upgrade mine over air or via SEUS. Have I missed a trick to getting it done? Is there a particular version of SEUS needed? Mine updated itself to 2.7.11.7.

Used my computer to update it, so SEUS.
The mediaplayer is a tad faster, but it's still slow.
I don't notice any other improvements.

Updated to 037 via SEUS on comp (orange uk). Flash still doesn't sync 100% of the time. Anyone else found this? Dunno if I should get a replacement or hold out till new update.

Does anybody update S-E-EUROPE to 037 ? Thanks .

I have just updated my K850i through SEUS. Before update I was with unbranded generic firmware Adriatic but after update I have a Orange branded firmware. This service-SEUS is not work correctly. Be carefull when You use it.

SEUS doens't mess up phones like that.
I suppose your phone was already flashed with the Adriatic Filesystem but whoever did it, didn't change de customization version.
So when SEUS went to update it, it looked at the customization version and updated the phone accordingly.

Hello,
New poster on the forumn but have been a regular reader since purchasing a K750i, thought it was about time I joined, so here's my first post.
Have just recieved my K850i, general pleased with it except the bugs other users are reporting.
One thing I find annoying is the fact that all pictures and video's appear in the media browser, I used to hide all the mucky video clips and pictures that are blue toothed at tea breaks at work in a folder buried deep within another folder on my K800 and these pics/vids didn't appear in the K800's version of Media browser. Does anyone know a way around this.
It would have been much better to only use nominated folders for media to appear in the media browser, it's also annoying as the media browser shows all the ring tones, sound clips and recordings, all I want it to show is my MP3 music collection. Do you think sony will correct this is the future, or am I gonna have to risk getting caught !! )
Thanks Guys
Marcus

Getting really quite fed-up with the 029 f/w now. First phone started crashing (& rebooting itself) whenever I tried to do a send/receive (no improvement after deleting and re-adding account), now it's doing the same thing at times randomly when browsing the web but now also consistently when trying to download the updated Gmail version - have tried deleting the existing Gmail app and clearing the webbrowser cache first but no improvement.
Not sure 037 will fix this but hopefully a proper bugfix will be out soon. In the meantime I'll probably try a master reset (once I've copied off all my favourites, etc.).
Cheers

Some friends of mine told me to use R1CA029 gr/blue adriatic but then when they tried to update with seus, the strange thing is that seus updated their phones with a 037 fw branded by orange.....So that's strange....
I found instead this other version CUSTOMIZED GREECE/ GREEN ADRIATIC K850i R1CA037 wich isn't branded and supposedly has italian in it.....
Am I doing the right thing updating with this version?
This version seems to be for the green trimmed phone...and mine is blue...Am I going to have problems with it?...
Please if someone could help...

Actually it does. I had the same problem as zabaro. I just upgraded my non branded adriatic 029 firmware via SEUS, and my phone become a 037 Orange adriatic firmware.
I guess i would have to use davinci to get a my non branded firmware back.

Hi,
Last night my phone said that it had found an update, and it downloaded it OK over the air, and then it started doing the update and everything seemed to go fine, but then it restarted and now all it does is lights up its keyboard and buzzes the vibrating alert for a tiny second.
Just like Terminatorak's phone did.... Does anyone know if I can fix this? Or do I have to start with SEUS and take it from there..?
Thanks!

alanjrobertson - Tell me about it! I have a t-mobile branded K850i and really am bored of waiting for the new firmware. Do you think we'll have to wait until the 10th Dec? I called t-mobile and they don't seem to know what I am talking about with regard to the firmware and flash; they keep on saying that it's the way I hold the camera!

what means the cellphone with a x on it ?(it's a symbol right next to the level signal)
Posted by Terminatorak
I've never had an 'x', but i've had different letters to the top right of my signal on my K850i. I have definately had an 'e' and a 'g'...Does anyone know what these mean?
[ This Message was edited by: Terminatorak on 2007-12-02 14:40 ]

'E' - Edge
'G' - GPRS
There are to do with data transfer rates... Edge being the faster one... IT tells you what you have available in the area your in...
Cheers
ENJOY
Posted by Terminatorak
Oh thanks for that. But I also have 3G isn't that faster that both of them?
Posted by SE-Naz
it is.... if no 3G signal then edge would be the next best thing

GPRS has always been faster than EDGE for me though.

Not there,in the right part of the level signal(like new message icon),it's a phone with a "x" on top.
Posted by killsta
On Orange UK I can never get the internet to work when on Edge, just doesn't connect.
3G and GPRS works fine tho...
Posted by bavlondon2
Anyone know when there will be a firmware to improve pic quality?
Posted by Terminatorak
OK cheers SE-Naz. I've heard that a new firmware will be released around 10th Dec. Its supposed to be a major update so it should fix loads of problems. When I download MP4 videos the sound is always out of sync, I hope that will be fixed in the update...

For me with generic firmware on Vodafone, I seem to get the 'H' icon when in a 3G are and the '3G' icon when in a HSDPA area. Seems strange
