I observed that after i updated my K700 to R2L, some bugs have been fixed. However here are my reports
1. I can no longer play my Tennis
2. Pictures took so long to load and in the middle of the files phone hangs
3. Battery problem still the same
- - Normally I charge my phone for about 2 hours and it lasted 24 hours average SMS, Bluetooth, Calls, Games
- - I charged my phone from 12 midnight until 8 am in the morning an it lasted for almost 36 hours!!!!! I have my phone for a month already.

My Tennis game also no longer works. And it can't be deleted either. Annoying. Also, I found another bug:
When taking pictures, you can select different frames, like baby, angel etc. I noticed some new ones, like camo. When I chose that, my screen went haywire. Nothing but a colorblur!!! This COULD have been a funny gesture from SE's side, given that the name IS camo, but when you actually take a picture with this frame, the picture is normal when it's "developed", ie there is NO fram at all.
In the beginning, I found the battery to last a bit longer, but now it's back to good ol' 24 hours again...
Yeah, I'm talking about R2L, in case you were wondering...

R2L seemed to fix most of the bugs in my phone, except for the bluetooth connection sometimes being lost.
As for the battery life, it is now excellent and lasts for at least 36 hours without a charge, and that is with about 2 Hours talktime a day.

i got no problems with my R2L001 firmware... but i didn't update it..
Posted by k4m!k4ze
@gregg - U didnt update it ??
R2L is the latest firmware apart from R2AA which was removed due to bugs. How can you update your R2L firmware ?
Posted by marlonski
Pretty much the same as crazyxboxman except I lost 3 animations.

@kllr_dude: I think he meant he didn't update it himself, i.e. he got the phone with R2L already on it.
Posted by vineet_d
Kllr I have upgraded to R2AA and my batt life has been improved a lot and no other bugs
Posted by k4m!k4ze
@vineet - i read in another thread that r2aa had some bugs and was removed from the online update service.
Posted by vineet_d
yes it has got some bugs, but for me its working fine.
Posted by ggreggy
yeah i got my phone with the R2L FW on it already...
is that the latest?
i haven't noticed any bugs with my phone.. except when i used BT, it froze once and had to remove the battery to get it operational again.. but that was it...
gotta mention, the battery life sucks on this phone!!

Or maybe what he 'really' meant back there is the stock - R2A... firmware?
Posted by k4m!k4ze
I have R2L firmware and the battery life is only a little bit improved than the R2A.
Never experienced any of the hangups you guys have but i did experience random shutting down and starting up of the phone when typing an sms.
As long as i dont play games and send only a few sms, the battery lasts at least 30 hours for me.(i think the manual mentioned 300 hours ! ) .
Damn ! you play games and the phone just sucks up battery like a camel drinking water.
Some of you guys mighta heard - Nokia's BLD-3 battery can be used in a k700. It has a higher mAH rating.

Have you checked the com-ports in Phone Monitor. If you havenīt activated the right ports this problem can appear. At least it solved my problem which was same as yours.

I got my K700i beggining of the week and have had zero problems on
this R2L firmware. played with phone a heck of a lot which usually
had me wasting my t68i and t610 battery in 15 hours. Lasted well over 24 hours. I am over the moon with this phone. But please help. I want Mini golf from SE website but if i find one i can download it says it's incompatible with my phone. HELP. ASAP. Please!!!!
Posted by k4m!k4ze
Minigolf is for T610 aint it ? Try t610wap.com for games. It has K700 compatible ones too and besides - YOUR POSTING IN THE WRONG THREAD FOR GAMES !!
Posted by Siosal
I know i am posting on the wrong thread for that. If you noticed i initially commented on the firmware and battery life. I thought i would ask while i was here and i thank you for your swift reply.
No need to shout though.

Cool down man !
Posted by Siosal
Thanks for understanding. Very lonely out here in sa.
Everyone thinks nokia is still king of phones.
They are crazy.
I still got a lot to learn though.
Thanks for the help Dude!

Ok, if anybody's interested or can offer an opinion here are my observations. Got phone monday. Wore the battery down late tuesday night. Charged and carried on using from 21:00. It's now thursday 14:00 and i have 3/4 full battery after phoning, using camera, downloading and using the phone light in a blackout for the worst part of 10 minutes. I'm impressed. But i have noticed that i recorded a video clip (my cat about 30 sec) and the phone suddenly went blank(white screen) for about 7 seconds. After that it was fine. Didn't need a reboot, just carried on. Any comments?
Posted by k4m!k4ze
@siosal - Which firmware do you have ? If you have R2A then this occurs, upgrade to R2L.
Posted by Siosal
As stated on above post i am on R2L firmware. This problem has occured twice. Will see if it happens again. At least the whole thing doesn't crash like on nokia or even my old T68i.
Posted by k4m!k4ze
Well all firmwares have their bugs even R2L. I experienced the same problems you had but it was when i was browsing and a few times when sms'ing.
Posted by Siosal
Oh dear. Thats not cool. I'll let you know if it happens to me. So far it's only with the camera. Keep messing around with the phone when i don't have anything to do. Draining my battery unneccessarily. I saw a post on another thread saying a future firmware should make the camera button the speakerphone pick up button on an incoming call. I think thats a good idea.
With your problems... did they happen while you were typing your sms or after you finished. It only happened to me when i pressed stop on recording.
Posted by k4m!k4ze
it happened when i was typing the sms. During browsing it happened when i clicked on a link.
It occurs very rarely so i guess i can live with it
Posted by asteri
Guys. I read your posts about the battery and I got very confused not knowing if I should upgrade or not. First, how can I check on which firmware my phone is working now. And second, its true I have battery problems. I use the phone a lot, 2 hours talking per day, SMS, MMS and 2 hours radio listening. I have to recharge the battery daily. I play no games. Otherwise, I dont experience any problems with the phone, as it is.
If I do upgrade should it have an effect on other functions of the phone, its settings etc?
Should I do it or it will create more problems than it will solve?
Posted by Siosal
On the joystick and press right on the joystick, *, left, left, *,left,*. That brings up a menu with all your software info. I would'nt be so worried wether the firmware is going to make your phone worse. It only fix's bug's, not add's new ones. It's worthwhile if you ask me. The problems we are talking about are anomolies. Glitches in the matrix if you will. You have these thing's happen no matter what brand of phone you use.
Hope this helps.
Posted by k4m!k4ze
yeah siosal's right. Like say your phone has some bugs. A f/w upgrade will probably fix 76-85 % of the bugs. All s/w have bugs, so you cant expect the perfect f/w (maybe in the future ?).

Really? Now, did someone try this already? I mean charging, usage and other 'phone-ly' duties...
I don't want my SE phone being obliterated by a Nokia product!
Posted by asteri
kllr_dude and siosal, thanks men!
And Siosal, I cant make this with the joystick. When I go left the phone opens the radio shortcut. I do something wrong and I dont know what.
Posted by Siosal
@asteri
Read the personal message i sent you. Hope it helps.

I have the R2L001 firmware on my phone, upgraded from R2AA. I don't have any problems, i can play tetris and my screen doesn't go haywire at all. If i use the phone for calls only the battery lasts for about 2 days, if i use mp3, radio and camera alot it only lasts for about 20 hours or so.
Posted by scorpio79
Would somebody enlighten me about how to upgrade to R2L001 from R2AA. Isn't it a "degrading" operation instead.
