Has anyone tried the new R2AA003 firmware released on Total Server yet?
http://www.totalserver.net/
I would be interested to know whether it has a quick search facility in the phone book, as was added to the pre-release R2Y formware.
Additionally, does anyone know if this is available on EMMA yet?

Hi Mike,
I took my phone today to official service center in Croatia (and the only one) asking to debrand my unbranded-bought-phone (I bought it unbranded at their place, not locked to any network, but couldn't use Online software update, because it said Your operator does not allow...)... So I asked them to clean boot, EPROM, etc. and give me what I bought initially. I also asked about R2AA and they had no idea about it, but said they'll check it out if it is on EMMA and update my phone... So I'll let you know more tomorrow...
Take care

what phone are we taking about?? the k700?? is it R2AA or is it a mistake..did the go for that after they ran out of alphabets????
Posted by anlog
Yes, R2AA003 is officially released for the K700. It is not a typo, and yes, they ran out of alphabet letters so now they go to AA, AB, AC, AD, etc.

Is this revision available on the online update service?
Does this contain the phone book search seen in R2Y?
Posted by j4sp33d
what are the new/added features in R2AA? what are the bug fixes? i hope R2AA allows us to view movie clips in full screen just like when viewing pics in R2L version.
Posted by kenski
Is it true? If it is then we should be getting r2aawhen we upgrade online!
I'll tryto update mine later. 
If anyone has done it using online update, dont forget to post so everyone would know.
Posted by anlog
R2AA003 is not available from the SE online update (yet). Give it a day or two...
The only changes in this firmware are a (supposedly) faster main menu, and the ability to autosave a contact when using your SIM as the main phonebook.
Not really worth the upgrade if you have to use a credit. If it's free, then fine...
Posted by kenski
What kind of an upgrade is that?(if it's true reg the changes) I've been waiting for the phonebook search option to be incorporated by se coz my old t68i has it why not a newer more advanced phone?
Posted by mwarner
R2AA SHOULD have the phonebook search feature ... although, as I haven't got it, I can't say for sure
Posted by kenski
@mwarner, i do hope your right otherwise it would be useless to upgrade the fone..does se actually announce if a new fw is available? ..tnx:-D
Posted by Sir-SonyEricsson-man
I talked to SE call senter right now.. and YES ITS CONFIRMED and he sayd its out ON the ONLINE UPDATE SERVICE..
I'm trying to update know
Posted by masseur
I just tried and it still says my R2L is the latest, unfortunately
Posted by Sir-SonyEricsson-man
maybee it comes out later today..
I still cant update via my jobb place.. so i have to do it tonight at home
BUT its also the newest firmware for K500i. K500i and K700i has the same firmware on the phones
Posted by masseur
yeah I'll give it a go tonight unless someone else tries first
I'm only interested in the full phonebook lookup functionality, everything else is working great!
Posted by Sir-SonyEricsson-man
same her. I want that search function which someone talked about
Posted by madsb
I just tried to update via the K700 online update service - still got R2L...
Posted by vee
so my branded-unbranded k700i came back from authorized SE service center with R2L... they couldn't get R2AA and finally I can do the online update, but still get R2L...
...
a bit off topic but I have to say it... I had problems with my K700 being unbranded but belonging to operator in Croatia so I couldn't use Online update. I bought my phone at official SE store in Zagreb so I was really pissed... I asked service cnter to unbrand my supposed to be my branded phone... so they did it but in a way that now when I do a master reset I have by default new data accounts that belong to OSKAR (it is Checz or Slovakia or Poland network isn't it?)... but I must not complain as I can use online update now, right?
and it is funny how total call time in service menu is back to 00:00:00... if only I could understan all of this... oh yeah and I got My friends icon... yeah...
Take care

@SIR-Sony, too bad those call center guys are just misinformed or just plain stupid.. I'll try again tonight if it installs the latest fw it would be my 4th time to do the online update even though I already got r2l after the 1st try..
BTW, is there an article/news link you can point me to bout the release of raa fw? TIA

This is a statement of fact, or a feature you would like added in the next rev?
Posted by kenski
I think its just a statement..But there's no harm in that, hopefully they will implement it. Anybody have r2aa yet using online service?
Posted by anlog
Tested the online update this afternoon. Still R2L...
Posted by kenski
Is it really officially released? Or just trying to get us too excited. I really hope it has the phonebook search functionality in it..

Yes thats right. But there is disabled some functions like bluetooth, since the K500i don't have it.
@masseur i think it will be here next week. the software was released yesterday here in norway, so it may take a few days before its transeffered to the online update. But on the other side, My man inside SE told that its connected to EMMA II so it should be there. But if its not up on EMMA II than it will not be on the online service eather..
Posted by kenski
@sir-sony, Well at least its getting there! Just have to wait a bit.
How bout improvements any hint?
Posted by chinhui
I really wish to have the search feature. It's really inconvenient without it. Any difference in the photo quality? Is the 1 second delay when receiving call resolved?
Posted by j4sp33d
hi. what are the "small goodies" in the new firmware R2AA? any major changes like full screen view of video clips? i thought R2AA was a developer's release and not intended for regular users like us? i even read a R2Y version and R3A (correct me if i'm wrong). can you try out your phone with R2AA a little more and post any changes you might find from the previous firmware R2L? thanks.

Ok guys i talked to some poeple inside again at SE and at my local service point.
The new Software R2AA003 will not be available for a long time. Because this software is meant for all K700i produced from Week 40 (that was last week) and this phones has not hit the marked yet. It is under testing for the excisting K700i and will be available. But since the main ting with this update is to give the new Batteries, witch comes with the phones produced from week 40, better standby time.
Off course there is also the the bluetooth update and the search function.
Everyone who need the update right know has to visit his/her local service point
Posted by kenski
@sir-sony, thats bad news
since local servicepoints here in my country could not upgrade my phone so I totally rely on the online update. Oh well, guess i'll be stuck w/ r2l for a while
Posted by vineet_d
What are these new battery
Posted by Sir-SonyEricsson-man
the will hold better on the power. Thats the info from my service point
Posted by kenski
Hmm interesting! @sir-sony, so its possible it wont be the bst-30 this tym?
Posted by Sir-SonyEricsson-man
It will have the same name. but a newer version of production date
Posted by Rewind
Just flashed with R2AA003.1. Photos added to contacts appear without delay.2. There is no delay when you press answer button.3. Faster picture browsing in folders.4. :-( U still can't mute camera sound.5. Video plays much better.That's all I have noticed after 10 min of using after flashing.
Posted by kenski
no search phonebook function?
Just a thought, if se is gonna release a new bst-30 for the k700i why dont they just recall the existing battery of current k700i users and replace them with the new and improved one? Since its not our fault their batteries for the k700i suck literally!
