hey guys where can i download the latest firmware from..i m from india
and the se updator says tht there are no updates yet
Posted by p!xarus
It is only released for the nordic region yet..
It will be a large firmware update released on December 10th..
Hopefully it will delete more of the k850i's bug list.
I have not noticed any great changes, but the pics does not seem to turn out black any more.

So is there any point to upgrade yet? What number do you now have on your new firmware?
Posted by p!xarus
I now got the FW: R1CA037.
I would not have updated it over-the-air from the phone it self, but if you will have the flash out of sync problem out of the way now, you should think of updating it with SEUS.
Have not got more than 512 mb memory card, so I have not tested if the media player still is slow with 1 GB of music.

Any news of newer firmware for APAC-ANZ either via SEUS or FOTA?
Posted by tgr
Just downloaded 037 Nordic From SEUS.
Several people seems to think that there is a major release on the 10th Dec. However when I display my FW info it says:
R1CA037
071012
Couldn't the last part mean 10thDec in yymmdd format and thus this is all SE is giving us for a while....

They had 1+month to make another firmware

It's has not gone public, only to certain regions.

Ehmm meant to say 071012 is in yyddmm date format, and that 037 is the 10Dec "Major" release...Based on other users feedback on 037, its not exactly a major release...

It would be yymmdd, so 12th of october 2007, they will most likely be working on a new firmware

Had a strange problem with my K850i this morning. Got it out of my pocket and noticed all the keypad lights, camera ring light, camera button light and basically every light/LED on the phone were on but the phone was not responding. I had to remove the battery to get it to work.
Anyone else noticed this? I have an O2 handset with 037 firmware.
Posted by Krubach
Ok. Maybe some info about a possible new firmware.
One of our members (_borg) has bought an MBS-100 speaker system to use with his K850i, but he found out that it is not compatible with the speaker system ATM.
So he went to SE support area and found this:
«If you have purchased a K630i, K850i, V640i, or W910i please update your firmware in the next release in January 2008 for optimal performance.»
So maybe the 10th December new firmware is in fact due only in January 2008...
You can see _borg's original post here:

I only have to say that this major update should be available at the moment that SE is selling Bluetooth accessories like the MBS-100 and when SE says that the K850 has stereo Bluetooth™ A2DP
Also the K800/K810 are compatible with the MBS-100 and the K850 don't
For God's sake

So is there any problem to use HBH-DS980 with K850i?
Posted by Pakzal
It works pretty 'ok' with my HBH-DS970. Sometimes the controls and the tiny display don't work properly, but it doesn't stop the music from getting through
I'm not sure if there are big differences between the two... but it should work I guess.
If not, I'm pretty sure it will be fixed after the firmware update.

I use it all the time. No problem here
And btw. R1CA037 got released on SEUS today
Just updated it and it works great 
Posted by Dovern
still no update for APAC version...
Posted by kihoskh
hello people
new to this forum..got my k850i few days back..
R1CA029
prg12004400_GENERIC_SO
Customization
1204-0634 R3A
1200-5441 R1CA029
S-ASIA-LEVAN
now the stuff i wanted to tell..
when i got the phone, i am pretty sure the customization codes were different..but i never had any of the probs that all the rest have been havin, mainly..
1. Camera does not produce dark pics, occasionally the background is darker, but i am guessing thats expected..the subject is well lit up, and the flash obviously does not have the power to reach all the way to the back, mainly in open spaces..am i correct?
2. Media player is ok ok..cud be a tad faster, but it wil do..i have a 2 gig Sandisk Micro, almost full. But the entire UI does slow down a bit with media player in background..
3. I havent figured the bitrate thingy though..the videos are slightly stucky, so the audio goes out of sync..wil be very grateful to anyone who can guide me to the correct formats and software.
4. No OPERATION FAILED on anything till now, other than when trying to dl something thru net. Thats really irritating..The thing is that after I did a master reset to try n fix OPERATION FAILED, the customization codes changed..how is that possible?? The problem still persists though..
And lastly, some people seem to hav probs with BT speakers/handsfrees etc..but my jabra 8010 seems to work more than perfect with the 850..

Hi guys,
Just updated my phone with ver 037 (ANZ), i'm from Malaysia.
Just to add to this thread:
1. The camera takes time to focus and charge the flash, therefore if a quick button press is used, the flash will discharge after the shutter clicks. Try pressing the button slower or use the on screen camera icon to take the photo automatically.
2. Battery meter/icon i find is inaccurate, the Phone Status (volume key pressed in standby mode) gives accurate reading. Also, unlike my previous K610i, the icon does not go to orange then red, just green to red direct.
3. No phone hanging/freeze so far... just irritating msg like "Application uses too much memory" when loading in built games!
4. "Missing" standby mode clock, where is it SE people?!
Posted by mariozlp
I've updated my phone yesterday via seus (greece) and i think 037 is a bit faster in media section and i can put a 5mp photo as background (029 couldn't). My only dark picture were with 029 at start about 3 times and then everything fine. I haven't try the camera yet.
Posted by svarog84
Hi,
Can someone help me. It looks like that only me can't update, i tried several times today but still not success. I get message that software cannot be updated, not that i already have the latest software. On my unit i have flash bug and that is really annoying. For example, when i am shooting a same picture in the dark, once is good, really bright and second time it's black! Help please, i had many SE phones ()t630, k750, k800) and i know how to update software but this time i simply can't
Thanks

Today it happened - my K850 refuses to open teh programs folder or the games folder. All i get is an operation failed message.
I have tried a master reset, and an upgrade to 037 via SEUS, but it doesn't help. Is there any way to fix this or do I have to return the phone?

if you have warrranty or "care plan" return it .... other wise the fix is a full
flash, either SE service center of davinci etc.

Probably! I never really had the flash sync issue unless my fingers were kinda covering the flash.

037 is a maintainance update, the major one will come soon. Not sure if it's the 10th or in January though.
Posted by Bryan84
I just upgraded mine to APAC-ANZ - R1CA037 too.
The Media indeed is better in response. But still when I leave the music running and try to SMS, it's lagged. Nothing compared to K800 previously still.
The camera flash does sync well for my case.

4 days to go.......
I hope SE fix all the problems on new firmware...
Posted by Dovern
Just updated mine (APAX-ANZ), so far didnt notice any major different... but searching phonebook still very slow.
Posted by br@dley
Anyone else had this problem....?
When using Bestpic, besides the occasional lock up/reboot, sometimes all 9 photos are the same. That sort of defeats the purpose of using it...
Oh, and another one:) If I have a number of photos in the Camera Album folder and I mark them all and go to move them, they all move but one always fails (possibly the one I last viewed?). If I try again for that one file it moves ok. Bit odd.
Wonder how long it will take 3 to get their act together once the new firmware is out...

Why isn't the first message in this string updated so that it shows the 037 as widely available. I think virtually everyone has access now.
I also think that there will be no Dec 10 update. It just seems so surprising that one update will be one week & then another the very next.
No real changes that I can see in my phone. I just hope that the 8gb card that's on its way functions okay & isn't too slow. The media section is painful. Flipping through #'s instead of albums or artists is plain pathetic.

Hmmm... ok... so it seems the SEUS software doesn't even get to communicate with the server. Do you have any firewall running? Maybe it's blocking SEUS software...

It is turned off, i have even tried with antivirus turned off. I have xp service pack 2. The camera bug is really annoying, every second picture is darkened!
