hi boykups. i went to a SE service center in Manila (Smartnet) to have my K700i upgraded to R2AA (my current version is R2L) but they told me that R2AA has been pulled out of their system due to some problems. apparently they upgraded somebody else's phone to R2AA the day before i went there and encountered the same problem like yours (cannot receive SMS but when transferring your SIM to another phone you can now receive SMS). anyway the service center told me that they would be calling me as soon as they get a "working" R2AA version. actually i'm just going to wait for a major version to come out (maybe R3...). R2L works fine for me as of the moment.

Well, i uploaded r2aa yesterday in a Service Center, and i receive smsīs normally...just made the test in this instant...
Posted by funkee_phantom
Have to agree with release R2AA im on R2AA R29 and sometime if you are using the phone and you get an sms the phone freezes
get a white background with an envelope and an an arrow, whats that all about.
have to fiddle with the keys and then the phone will soft reset and go back to normal.
guess the first R2AA version on multiserver is a tad "buggy"
Posted by vee
R2AA has been taken down from EMMAII according to my local Service Center for unknown reason...

In the service center where i went, they had all the versions: r2a, r2e, r2l and r2aa...strangely, or not, they told me SEīs tellīs them r2l is the latest...but i insisted in putting r2aa because of what i read here
Well, i donīt regret it so far because i have no noticiable bug. Things i noticed:
Phonebook search with more than one letter;
Improved battery usage
Lcd ligh turns off in standby quicker than before (to save battery)
Operator name fonts changed
New animation when conecting to the net (some balls spining around an earth globe)
New design in the sms writing window
Faster menus (much less freezing than in r2a)
Photos displayed in fullscreen in presentations
Faster opening of images
Bluetooth works ok now

Most of the new things belong to the R2L update. Only the search function in the phonebook and the quicker menu'es belong to the new R2AA update.

I am still using R2L and I think I'll wate some newer reversion of firmware...

Gone were the days of the t68i wc use to provide a new fw every month.

I bought Vodafone k700i (contract was cheap); as if anyone would buy a vodafone mobile for its Live Software built in! Was going to send it back after hearing of Vodafone bespoke rubbish that stops functionality of phone (mp3 ringtones, mp3 alarm tone) besides the Vodafone Live shortcuts all over the phone software.
Used Total server 1.30 and T28 cable from http://www.faceoffmobiles.com and debranded phone with no trouble. The R2AA003 seems fine to me. Address book search same as Nokia I had in that you press numbered key to jump contact in list beginning with corresponding letter.

Stick with r2l. The r2a firmware have an huge bug. I flashed my k700i to r2a and had then problems with my dss-25 and FMA(float mobile). The phone can't connect to any programs. After downgrading to r2l it works all again. The r2a firmware is removed from the Emma II server due its communication bug. They release in week 43 another firmware.
Posted by iyiinsan
The online upgrade service is down... I get "Update Service is out of order due to technical problems." error...
Posted by vee
yes it is down for more than 24 hours... P900 update is working... so... we can just guess and hope for the best... maybe they aree implementing features that will try to screw unofficial solutions... just a guess.

I dont like this R2AA firmware its slower than the R2A firmware esp in gallery. Furthermore...after it has been upgraded. For some reason when i went into text and tried to access the phonebook the contacts had dissappeared! Had to delete the phonebook and restore from sim card! Can't turn off the shutter sound except by ringing someone (Which i found random!) The lights dim quicker like the other firmware which is annoying. However the keypad lights fading looks cool and phonebook search function much more user friendly. I wouldn upgrade to this version if you already got R2L its not worth the hassle. Testing the battery life. At the moment lasted two days same as the previous firmware..but then again i been playing with it
Posted by govigov
@bohr, how did you degrade?
Posted by ekkie
I have the R2AA revision on my k700i and have noticed that I am unable to add or delete items from the preferred networks screen.
I'm not sure if this is a problem with my phone or just with the new firmware because I never tested this before the firmware update.
Can someone with R2AA check?
Posted by scorpio79
Ok.. I have read all the posts in this thread and others related to R2AA.
I had flashed my phone today to R2AA from R2L today morning and it did not take me long to realise that R2AA has some bugs which could be more serious than the previous firmware releases.
1. some mp3 ringtones become protected (corrupted) and cannot be deleted. In addition, the file size becomes 0 kb. 2 of my ringtones were affected like this.
2. In the "More" link where there is an option for turning infrared on for 10 minutes, infrared is on for unlimited duration. Mine went on for more than 30 minutes till i switched IR off.
3. File Manager in Sony Ericsson PC suite is not compatible with Release R2AA. it just refuses to detect the phone. I had to rely on free file managers like fma.
4. the message tone keeps beeping at times (intervals of 6 hours) without any reason.
5. the call response is >1 second irrespective of presence of picture or not.
SO stick on to R2L.
ok.. i am back from the se service centre and they flashed my k700 back to R2L.
i still cannot delete the corrupted ringtones (says that it is protected or pre-defined) after switching over to R2L. However, the rest of the problems have vanished.

@ scorpio79
I guess they are the reasons SE removed R2AA. Should just wait for the next update which was pencilled for this week apparently!
=====I HATE THE K700i BROWSER! I need to use google on the move but can't because of that damn browser! Maybe SE will pay for WebViewer for me?=====

I have had a nightmare with my O2 Branded (will never do again) phone.. i tried to get the R2A001 updated at an SE centre (Brighton, UK) and that failed - flashing white screen on start up. then sent it away to O2 for two weeks - would have been beter just chucking it in a drawer or something
as it came back as useles as before. SE online upgrade won't touch it - so went for Multiserver (tx to the posts) - Perfect...perfect..their new 1.30 downloads and installs everything - takes quite a while as all I have is a serial T28 link but so what!! - the phone is now 100% brilliant! - all for Ģ8!! lets see how long the battery lasts!
Posted by englishmanabroad
Not sure about "quick search" but i have seen numerous posts regarding large phone book entries and navigation. I can confirm that the latest firmware from Multiserver now gives you the ability to search by first, second and third letter in phone book - pretty clever as it does not mess with previous search patterns - well happy here

I've r2a041 and there are 100+ bugs.
restarting sometime
not playing mp3
dissapearing two items in the main many somtimes
second line work bad (the other party not hearing me)
seeing not real numbers in some contacts
dissapearing numbers from contacts
deleting one number causes sometime deleting other one too
and too much more.... I'm so tired of this...
I really like to upgrade my phone, but how can I register to total multiserver and do that. Please forget my local service center. Today after I call there they asked me, what is firmware? After switching telephone line to other one, he explained me, that my problems are not usual for my phone, but they will make upgrade for me for 20EUR, but not telling me what kind(version) of firmware.
And I was disapointed. So please help me.

I have to disagree with you on some of these points
1) Ive put lots of mp3's onto my phone and never had this problem
2) Mine turned off after 10 Minutes...
3) Not tried the SE connectoivity suite... I preffer FMA and had no problems
4)Never had this happen before 0.o.... Strange
5) Not really took any notice
Very strange...

hey guys i have the R2L firmware and so far i've experienced one bug -
the phone randomly starts up when i'm typing a text message. I dont know when or why but it happens.
Same goes when i'm trying to enter into my rediffmail account via WAP.
my id is arun__2001 and i've stored this in 'my words'. After i type arun_ , the various words in t9 appears and when i select my id from the list and press ANY key, it restarts !

R2AA003 has a shortcut for changing the "Subject" of MMS messages. After you have chosen the person to send the MMS to, you simply hit the "More" button and the "Subject" option now is included directly in that pop up menu. With earlier versions you had to chose "Advanced" from that menu and go even deeper down the menus...
Since the text is copied from the content of the MMS to the subject automatically (that's not very smart) you often want to manually edit the subject your self. Now they made that easier.

hi guys...i have k700 and a r2l001 firm.
1.i've noticed a new bug that's very annoying
the camera video mode(preview and recording) is very slow(choppy)!
but you can fix that if you turn the night mode on and off again!!
2.main menu scrolling is also choppy
but still r2l001 is the best out now
Posted by colmacg01
I see that the TOTAL MultiServer team have put the R2L001 firmware files back in their download area.
It is interesting to note that the old K700_Decustomize_Firmware.K7S has not been made available though.
I wonder whether or not people who use the old files and v1.32 to debrand will be able to use the official
update site?
Cheers,
Col.
Posted by funkee_phantom
yeah i noticed that too, tried to downgrade firmware on my phone but it all went tits up!
had to use the repair option and flash back R2A!
back to square 1

Sorry to hear that funkee, hope you get sumfin sorted out.
Cheers,

after reading all replies in this post, I am more CONFUSED than ever hehehe...
I still have R2A but don't know which version to upgrade to now? R2L or R2AA?
only hoping that SE will come out with a new fw that everyone here agree it's working well
Posted by 2samek
If you really have to upgrade, then I suggest you upgrade to R2L. If you can wait, wait for newer version (R3x I guess)...
Posted by onekilo

U need a T28 Unlocking Serial cable or FTDI USB cable for Total-Server or a DSS-20/25 for SE Update Service.

Posted by jasmouseuk
is it worth me upgrading as i have r2l, and i am trying to be able to mute the shutter sound on the camera.
plus how can i find my local service centre?
thanks
Posted by vee
danieliew,
in the end they have removed it from R2AA as people had problems with it and accidentally deleting contacts... now it is back in R2AE and works great
