10. And just found in this post by @AntonyScerri, the Camera shutter is muteable on EU_1 firmware only (not EU_3):

Is this definitely corrent? It's just that I've got an Orange-branded UK handset that seems to have EU3 firmware on it (details below) and the camera autofocus and shutter sounds both disappear when mute is enabled.

I had a dream last night that I woke up one morning and checked the SE website to find a firmware update for the k750. At first I was skeptical, but after checking esato I found out that it had fixed every single problem with the previous firmware releases. All the members on esato were celebrating and partying and everybody was updating their firmware......Then I woke up and realised this would never happen in real life.

Why is it so hard for SE to do their job properly and fix the existing problems with the previous firmwares???? I dont understand...

Thanks.

All,

any idea what languages are:

ae/cf/xl
ae/bp/xl

And where do i find E-Plus language package?

Posted by quaeler
i thought they were obeying the iso-3166 country codes for the region languages - but bp and xl aren't in the spec, so either they're not obeying it at all, or bp and xl are internal usage.. ?

Posted by Sebby
I think AE is American English, and BP (should actually be PB) is Portuguese Brazilian. Not sure about XL though.

Posted by andre
AE = American English
BP = Brazilian Portuguese
XL = Latin American Spanish

If anyone has tried RIN005 on SEUS, can you please give us an update and tell us about it?

Posted by wasabi
Hi,

New member here, and I've decided to get a W800.

Been looking at this below from page 1 of this thread. My question is, as a "T-Mobile" W800 doesn't support the SEUS, does it also mean if a W800 bought on Virgin network, who also uses T-Mobile's network can't use the SEUS.

I was thinking of joining Virgin contract because they unlock their phones for free and was hoping that it would mean I can use any firmwares.

Any answers much appreciated as I would like to purchase the phone very soon.

Regards,

Wasabi


"Firmware updates will require the installation of the Sony Ericsson K750/D750/W800 Update Service USB driver before visiting the K750 SEUS. Follow the instructions carefully.

This service currently works for the following phone brands:

Unbranded - Yes
O2 UK - Yes
Orange UK - Yes
Vodafone UK - Yes
T-Mobile UK - No

@wasabi

O2 phones are already unlocked and the O2 network has better coverage.

Posted by munkimatt
right guys, im a touch confused. ive updated my software through every update. im on o2 uk. ive just connected it up now to see if there was a newer version, and the update service said that my operator is not allowing it!!! has O2 stopped us updating our software??

Posted by victorh017
I used the davinci software to flash my phone. Originally it had the chinese T9, english and some other asian languages.
After I used the "america2" flash file I got the spanish (XL) t9/menus as wel as the portuguese, (PB) the chinese for some weird reason wasn't deleted. And I still have the english (AE) menus, but NO the t9 !!! So be careful if you use this service, and also you have to pay 10 euros to use it, if you don't the software will still flash your phone but in the 'finalization' phase when it tries to check your password (given to you by davinci AFTER you pay) if you don't have a valid name/password it will give you an error message on the pc and your cell phone WON'T turn on!!!!!! Beware of this!!!

O2 K750i

Thanks for your advice.

The reason I'm still thinking of Virgin is because http://www.onestophoneshop.co.uk has a virgin deal which is 10month's free rental on anytime200 plus Virgin gives 6month's half price rental (£15 instead of £30) making the total cost for 18months £150 or £8.33/month!

The answer to my question, just found it on another thread http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=100216

"I'm not sure if unlocking will resolve it, but Virgin have now blocked the update service via the SE website. It worked when I got my phone but now it says the provider doesnt allow it."

That solves this issue, however, the deal is extremely good!!! Don't know what to do.

I have tried to read through all 98 pages of this thread without success.
Can someone please explain to this simple soul why it is that I get this "Operator will not allow use of this service" respone when I try to upgrade my firmware? I have a new phone but it has the original firmware version.
I have an unbranded K750i on Vodafone UK. Many thanks.

Posted by alanjrobertson
Hi Bob

Can you check what your CDA number is? (It's in the service menu, towards the bottom of the SW info page). I've just flashed mine to get rid of the Orange branding and it now doesn't work on SEUS despite me using the 'generic UK' CDA - when it was an Orange CDA it worked fine, but it doesn't seem to like the generic one. The list of which CDAs are and aren't accepted by SEUS seems to vary weekly/monthly (as SE can change it as they see fit).

Cheers

Alan

Posted by MnM
Same for me. Unbranded O2 phone about 10 weeks old. Can anyone help or explain? Thanks

Posted by alanjrobertson
@MnM - could you check what your CDA is too? It seems that SEUS might not be accepting the generic (unbranded) UK CDA just now, and only allowing in the branded phones (e.g., Orange, Voda, etc.). Don't know why this would be the case but it seems too coincidental that lots of people with unbranded phone can't access the service.

A.

Posted by dietbrand
I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. But perhaps Se are uploading a new (unbranded) firmware version? The fact that branded phones are still accepted would then be explained by the extra time it takes for branding and testing/approving the branded versions (thus released on a later date).

I know, I know... wishfull thinking... perhaps

Posted by alanjrobertson
Ooh that'd be nice (doubt it, but no harm dreaming!)


Posted by Bob4454
My CDA says:
CDA 102338/38 R6A
cxc 125953 R1A044
EUROPE_2
any good?

Posted by alanjrobertson
Yep, that's the same CDA as I'm using - it's the generic one for the UK (ie for unbranded phones). For some reason it seems that SEUS currently isn't working with this, only with branded ones (I like dietbrand's idea that it's due to a new firmware version being imminent but sadly that's probably not the case and I don't know what the real reason is).

Is anyone with an unbranded UK phone able to use SEUS currently?

Alan

Posted by MnM
Sorry for the delay been out to the pub. But yes my CDA and cxc nos exactly the same - whatever they mean.

After the GPRS problems with R1J on O2 - I am very cautious of any upgrade. R1L may have bugs but don't all rush out on the 1st day...

[ This Message was edited by: O2 K750i on 2005-08-14 20:51 ]

Posted by alanjrobertson
I agree - will definitely hold back on any new firmware (when and if it arrives) for a few days at least. Of course that's assuming SEUS starts working again with generic handsets - otherwise I'll need to use DaVinci again, in which case it'll depend on whether it's worth the money or not (i.e. depends on how major any changes are).

Posted by etaab
Improvement in menu speed, stability and the reinstatement of the video capture quality would be worth it.

Posted by max_wedge
bob that message means the phones is probably branded (does it have vodafone live button? if so it is branded).

Not all branded phones are locked to the operator (one good thing about vodafone). I get that same error when attempting to update my voda live K700, but my Optus branded k750 can update no worries.

Vodafone HATE letting you update your phone - with the K700 it is only possible to update at the service centre (with a special vodafone firmware) not on SEUS. I suspect K750 the same.

However this issue of firmware update is separate to the issue of branding - branding is in the customisation file that SEUS doesn't touch. However, voda have an agreement with SE to not allow voda firmware handsets to be updated online - atleast true up to the K700....

Posted by alanjrobertson
@max_wedge - doesn't that CDA that Bob provided (CDA 102338/38 R6A) implay that it's not branded? Certainly whenever it's been mentioned earlier in this thread or the 'K750i debranding possible' one it's always corresponded to a phone being unbranded.

Thanks for that info - i've updated the first post accordingly.

Posted by max_wedge
alanjrobertson, my bad...missed that.

No idea then why he get's that message. But that's not surpising, I'm still not up to speed on the ins and outs of flashing and branding.



Posted by alanjrobertson
@mwarner - on the front page it says that unbranded phone work on SEUS - is that definitely the case? It seems that certainly recently it hasn't been happening.

When I do a firmware update, do I need to take my memory stick card out or I can leave it there?

You can leave it in.

Posted by CoolMeEddy
Awesome, just bought my K750, and I'm freaking shocked, this little baby is 10000000 times better then K700 I had before.

Posted by CoolMeEddy
One more thing, do all the firmware updates really make the phone better then it was before? I did un upgrade on my K750 from R1J002 to the latest one and can't really see any differences, or maybe I'm just not smart enough to see them

After the upgrade I had to hold the boot button really long, I got even scared for a second there, thought some thing went wrong lol.

Thanks in advance

Posted by numb
Not allways.
The only changes between R1J and the present R1L were some GPRS issues for certain networks, nothing else.
If you were not on these networks you will se no differences.



Posted by darky
where the hell is our new firmware

Posted by max_wedge
@numb, there were more changes than just gprs. I can confirm that the audio output is greater in R1L compared to R1J. There are other things I noticed -

1. Updated software from R1J002 to R1L002.
2. mediaplayer louder and clearer than R1J
3. Task button now clears screensaver
4. I had a problem on the previous software with contacts synchronising - it would only work from phone to pc, not the other way. This is now fixed (I tried a master reset before updating, but that didn't help, so decided to go the full hog and update).
5. Menu smoother
6. Saving photo to memory stick is heaps quicker
7. The auto focus beep is a lot quieter
8. And the phone seems more stable than it was under R1J

The video player quality loss from R1A to R1J has not been restored in R1L (we all kow that, damn!)

@CoolMeEddy, when I updated, the memory stick was in the phone (SE didn't say anything about removing it). After the update the memory stick was unable to be read by the phone (although the mass storage driver in windows could read it fine) and had to be formatted before it could be used again by the phone. So maybe just save any stuff on there, just in case.

txh for the added information

Posted by adrianoliv
i have upgraded my k750i to w800i today and the phone is running very well, the speed has improved comparing to R1J002, the media player is very fine but camera has the same 4.4 software that is a downgrade comparing to 3.8 from R1A044 .In conclusion i wish never have been done any upgrade at this phone. R1J044 is the best firmware so far for k750 adi-ROMANIA

Posted by nacho
Any word on the quality issues with the pictures and video? Seems like SE has layed the k750 on the shelfs, no new firmware for a long time now? It doesn't take months to increase some quality settings, it takes seconds...
