I've been able to change alarm volume by playing back the alarm tone and raising the volume there.

You phone is BRODed
Means it has the Blue Ring Of Death, a mix between hardware and software failure.
Try to reflash it using SEUS (sony ericsson update software) and keep us informed.
If this doesn't work, prepare your credit card and go to davinci team to have it reflashed.

Something I really miss in SE firmwares is better customization of profiles. I.e. different ring tones/sms tones or vibrate settings depending on profile.
Also, why is it impossible to set a contact-specific sms-tone just like the ring tone?
Does anyone know if any custom firmwares include these or SE have any plans on this?
you can set different messages tone for each contact and also set different Alarm volume on new A200 phones like C702 or C902. theres a new option for that..

hey everyone.. i need your help. ive had the K850i for about 5 months now.. i love the phone.. but my keypad is starting to come off.. i want to change to a different phone.. .is it worth it to switch to a nokia N82? does anyone know how the picture quality on the N82 compares with the K850i please help
If you are happy with your K850 just change the housing, you dont have to buy another phone just because the keypad is "starting to come off"

jigonx > I think the poster wanted to have the same custom ring tone for each user to also sound off when a message arrives. I recall this option being available on my Motorola E1000. That and the Moto calculator are perhaps the Only redeeming qualities of Moto phones (the calculator uses the joystick for + - x / I find that Much more efficient and hope that SE would one day start using this).

Just download the Sony Ericsson Update Service program from their site, install it and follow the instructions it provides. You might have your phone back alive in less than an hour.
If this fails, you can use one of the paid services such as KulanKendi or DaVinci. Otherwise, you will have to send your phone to an SE service to have it fixed (for free if it's still under warranty).

Increasing or decreasing the volume during Alarm tone selection doesn't affect the alarm volume when the alarm actually rings. It still starts at the lowest volume and gradually increases.
May be u'd been able to change it but i've never experienced it.

Hi guys, i have a little problem =/. I recently bought my k850i and i must say i do like the phone, but i can't seem to be able to update it to the latest firmware. I don't have a lot of experience with flashing/updating cell phones, so i am really confused. My current firmware is R1EA037, and when i start SEUS and try to update my phone, it goes "your mobile phone is up to date". Any ideas? =/
Posted by fbloise
I have the same version. that means the very latest one is not available yet in your location (as well as mine- caribbean btw)
Posted by Spirital
Well according to this - http://www.topsony.com/forum/local_links.php?catid=2423 , it is available to me (ADRIATIC) but i still can't update -.-

Ok i have figured out that my phone doesnt seem to reboot whathappens is that when the phone is used to write a message or im on the wap internet the phone screen goes blank and then if i leave the phone for 30seconds it comes back once i press a button the message or wap screen is still there normally if its restarted you loose the message.
Whats going on, does this 4 times a day roughly.

Probably it's because the BROD is rarely happening.

@ Huggons
I spoke to 3 UK last week, and they told me that they "had no idea when they would be revising their firmware to the new R1FA035, if at all". Which was helpful.
This may be a stupid, noobish question, but when you udate/flash through SEUS, do you need to take your simcard out to prevent losing contact data etc.? Sorry if that's a dumb query!

It will be safer to take out your sim card before flashing.

I extensively used my k850 on holiday.
Listened to music everyday, sent texts everyday, and made ~500 pictures.
It worked just fine, crashed once on me..but overall i was pleased with it:)
Posted by cgmiki
Same here. Very extensive usage during July, and it works perfectly.
Since December.

does anyone find accessing your inbox, if you have lots of sms, and you have it catergorised as contacts, so that in each contact folder you have sms from that one person, really slow? when you try access your sms??

on the contrary, i find my k850 very stable and fast on the latest FW (also with what ur saying)
Posted by br@dley
With latest 36 firmware, when I check for new email it makes the new email sound but then the No Messages text is displayed. Odd.
Otherwise, pretty happy with the new firmware. No reboots yet, though I haven' t been taking as many photos of late. Phone still slow when multi-tasking (music and anything else) but I don't think firmware will ever fix that!
Posted by Dart5
Before loading R1FA035 I had re-boots once in a blue moon. With it I get them daily, or like just now, checked my phone and it had turned itself off. Any else have similar trouble?
Posted by catalinux
My phone behaves normal since the update to R1FA (almost two months ago). Now, it's quite hard to define "normal" when we talk about the K850i, that's a very sensitive subject. In my case it means one (or less) freeze/reboot per week, 4 days or more of battery life and decent pictures when it comes to capture the moment. By the way, with R1FA I never had a dark picture while using the flash, nor a flash burned one and I am close to my 1200th picture with the phone.

SUES is still showing my phone in Grey and says "update not available' Come on S.E my phone is dead and i need to reflash.

i've updated my phone with all firmware releases and have had no problems,maybe its your luck if you get a decent k850 in the 1st place.

Guys, I currently have W910 but I'm extremaly disappointed by it's speed. I'm thinking about switching to k850. Is it faster? From extensive tests I've performed I can tell that K750 is sometimes 10x faster in Java applications than w910. How is k850?
Also I would appreciate if you did a little flash speed test. Just download this file
http://www.wrzuta.pl/other/file/xmLriQEbE0/speedtest.swf
and set it as your wallpaper. Please post your results here.
Mine are:
without music playing: ~13 fps
with music playing: ~8 fps
Just did the speedtest on a K850i (green with latest FW) and got ~20 fps without music and with music ~13.
I find the K850i on the latest firmware very stable and fast. You also could go for the C902, I tried both phones out and find the C902 a little bit faster, but the pictures aren't any better (K850i has better flash).
My operator gave me the choice and I sticked with my K850 because of the stability of the latest firmware and the design. So yes I think you should take the K850.
I've got 22fps, 14fps without music on R1FA035.
And my phone tooks 15 seconds to boot-up. In previous firmware (R1EA037) it tooks 25 seconds. And R1EA037 with music playing makes OperaMini walk like a turtle. Everyday always had a restart, underexposure flash pic...
The problem is gone in R1FA035, I don't notice a slowdown when using OperaMini. Flash pic is brighter. I'm quite happy now.
