Hi guys,
My K750i runs on R1L002 (updated through SEUS) but does not have the "My friends"-feature in Messaging. Instead, I have the "Call voicemail"-feature.
Software log shows that I have "Generic trade Netherlands"-CDA (CDA is 102338/48).
What do I have to do to get the "My friends"-feature?
Do I have to change my CDA in a generic one (for instance 102337/9, which is Generic EU1)?
Do all generic EU's have the "My friends"-feature?
I appreciate all of your help.

Well, at work I have been setting up a number of K750i's - one thousand in total... And some have the older firmware R1A044 rather than R1L002. So that gave me a chance to check out the video / photo issue.
To cut a long story short the newer firmware R1L002 compresses the photo's / video's more than R1A044. For example, a photo taken with A was 540k, whilst the same photo with L was 440k. A 30 second video was 15% larger in size on A than a video on L.
I have a direct link to a UK SE rep and will be ringing her on Monday about this issue (especially as all the phones should have the same firmware!)

@Str8,
I've got two K750i's here @ home, with CDA 102338/16 (O2 branded) and 102337/101 (AP unbranded). Both have My Friends. So yes, I guess you need to change your CDA with something like DeVinci...

I have a new Sony k750i and I am on O2 UK. My firmware is R1J002.
I can read and have searched the forms but I am still stuck.
I have downloaded the usb driver update and now when I go through the seus i check all the boxes and then i go next and then the screen changes and nothing happens.
Any help that requires me to install 3rd party software is not an option.
Thanks for the help.

No Firewall or popup-killer installed?
Posted by grim75
no firewall installed and i have looked at the pop up killer and it is off too. i have also trusted the site and allowed it.
Posted by mattjones22
grim75, are you using Internet Explorer or another browser such as Firefox?
Posted by O2 K750i
Use the latest Java software - should sort out your problems.
Posted by b3rx
Java Applet also takes time to load. and making the SEUS to work with Firefox has some problems. better use IE for this.

Hi,
My K750i is version R1L002.
I always set the "Joystick-right"-shortcut pointing at the calendar.
But every now and again it disappears and i have to point it at the calendar again. Have any of you experienced this? It didn't seem to happen before I upgraded...

I have the same issue. Since update I loose my shortcut when i turn off my phone
Posted by etaab
Its a bug in all firmware versions.
I fixed it by assigning the shortcuts as normal, turn the phone off, turn it back on, assign them again, and repeat about 5 times.
After about 5 times the phone eventually remembers the shortcuts, and the bug fixes itself. Mine is fine now, and so is many other people's K750is.
Posted by healer77
Hehe. Nice! It seems to work...
Thanks!

Does anyone know if it is true that the latest firmware places an "MP3" folder in the file manager under sounds?
I heard it came in with R1J but I have R1L and it is not there!

mr_wizard, yes there is a Mp3 folder in file Manager.
I have a quick question, when you activate the camera by sliding open the lens cover, how many LED's flash around the shutter release button, is there 2 or just 1?
My K750i seems to have only 1 LED which flashes to the left side of the shutter release button...
Posted by Aldrew
@doohan Yeah I only have one LED on the left side as well. I'm on R1L. Don't see it as a concern though. even if there should be 2. I actualy don't see the piont in it flashing really.

I'm having exactly the same problem as grim75, anyone have any ideas?
Posted by arnoldc
Re: right shortcut. Simply use Settings to set it and you don't have to set it again, even if you power off the phone.

Yeah, not really a concern, just wanted to make sure in case it was faulty... only had the phone for 5days.

Also @ mr_wizard & doohan, as far as I know (and what worked for me) you need to format your memory card (from the phone) for the mp3 folder to show up in any firmware after R1A.

Didnt you read the previous posts ? the phone resets the shortcuts if you power off the phone the first few times !
Does nobody think before they post anymore !?

Well, i tried that and it never worked for me when i first got my K750i.
Also, AFAIK, the MP3 folder appears when you update to R1J, but is removed again in R1L according to some people on Esato. Im sticking with R1J for now.

Also I have and unbranded K750 with R1L and still have the mp3 folder.
Posted by ffdiablos
Please tell me how to update the firmware!
Posted by O2 K750i
@ffdiablos
If youve got R1A then dont.
Posted by ffdiablos
I have but it keeps freezing on standby and is totally unreliable because of it.

All
help - R1L
I have found that when I access my phone or stick memory via USB or IrDA and if the folder has say 20 files then I cant see the files. I move a few files out the folder (maybe about 10 files by using phone to move them) then I can see the contents of the folder. Wierd - happens for Sounds and Pictures. Anyone else seen this???
Also called SE today (UK) - she said this must be my PC?? Reload the software on the PC and try again. She refused to accept loss of picture and video quality between R1A and R1L. Must be my handset. Duh.

I've done a Master Reset and formatted the Memory Stick. Problem is still there - when the phone has more than a few files in a folder you cannot see them via the USB/IrDA.
I'll call SE and hope to speak to someone less dippy.
BTW - SE call logging on UK website doesnt let you report faults - overloaded?
Posted by etaab
I certainly dont have that bug.
Posted by neox
i am not having that problem either... Are you using the File Manager software that came with the phone? or are you using Explorer to tap into the Memory stick???

Hey etaab, do you think I will post something that I know will not work?
I've powered off my phone more than 10 times and the setting is still there. I'm on R1L
geez...
I hope you read again and what I'm telling people is that the assignment of the shortcut should be done with "Settings" menu and NOT via the right joystick.

@etaab @arnoldc
I am using the SE software V1.6.9 (work) and 1.7.7 (home) both PCs do this. It only seems to happen with the Phone Memory.
Can someone try storing maybe 20 to 30 files in a folder on the phone memory (not memory stick) then try to access it via USB.
Are the files on the phone memory still visible via USB when the folder contains many files??? My Memory Stick seems to be OK with this - I can see 30+ files
I'm using R1L.
Cheers

hi O2,
I created a folder called Test on the phone memory, used File Manager (1.6.9) and dumped 50 pictures into the folder (took a while!) and they're accessible and visible from File Manager via the USB cable.
Cheers!
Posted by O2 K750i
@arnoldc
Many Thanks
Looks like my phone is bust then...I'll call O2 since the phone is inside the replacement warranty period.
Another replacement.
Tried with my spare Windows disk (clean install) same problem.

I connected my phone and took a look at my memory stick and noticed their was an MP3 folder. It does not appear in the phone though and placing MP3's into it makes them appear in the phone in the root of the Sounds folder.
Is this correct?
Posted by arnoldc
Yes. If you use the phone's File Manager, it is. But the physical root of the MP3 folder is the memory stick, which is "mounted" in the Sounds folder.
Posted by etaab
@ mr_wizard - that is correct.

But that is exactly my point. There is a bug in all firmware versions that resets the shortcuts to default everytime the phone is turned off and on again when you assign shortcuts through the settings menu. I presume you are unaware of this bug, and are one of the lucky few who got a handset which did not have this bug, and that is why you claim to know the answer.
The real answer is, is that usually after a few attempts the phone eventually remembers the shortcuts. With mine, it took about 5 times to enter the shortcuts for the phone to remember them.
@ O2 K750i - i copied 32 pictures id taken with the phone last night onto my computer using the USB, and all were visible. I do not have that problem.
Maybe you should try a master reset and/or a memory stick format and/or reinstalling the SE pc software before claiming the phone is faulty.

@etaab, i have R1L002. i made the assignment just once. never have to assign it again, turn off the phone, assign it again, repeat 5x, to have the phone remember it.

I posted the message below on se-se.com a week or so ago, and someone replied saying it worked for him as well:
"I've had this problem with all three firmwares to date on my O2 branded K750i, but managed to work around it. Firstly, clear the shortcut assignments (go to Settings > Shortcuts, and go through each one, pressing the C key so the shortcut says "

Exactly as my R1L phone, and R1J come to think of it so it's not can't be a universal problem with that firmware release. I only changed from L to J because my phone was more trouble on L than on A!, god knows why that would be though.
Posted by O2 K750i
Phone has locked up twice again today with R1L.
O2 grudgingly are replacing handset again.
Anyone else got crashes with R1L???
