heh heh got it at last, took ages to get to scotland, nice to see seemingly better reception now as at home i only ever got 2 bars with corresponding worse battery performance, jumped by 2 bars so we'll see eh?
camera does seem very slightly slower to start but other performance more than makes up for it:)
lots of talk in this thread about various numbers in the firmwares, does anyone fancy putting all this info into a list with explanations for each variation? surely se must have such a list?;)
its been interesting watching the fw spread about the globe tho, hope everyones got it now

hi everyone,
I went to SEUS several times today and it said my phone is up to date.
I went there now, and it downloaded the f/w.
Problem is, when it finishes downloading and asks me to unplug the phone, shut it down, then plug it pressing the "c" key on the phone, it remains that way.
It seems as if it doesn't detect that I've reconnected the phone...
Is there any solution for that?
edit: nevermind, i had to uninstall the driver and reinstall it. my k750 is updating as we speak
Thanks.
mailman

I have encountered a problem with new firmware R1N035.
when transfering files from other phone to mine it dont let me get the files, but from mine to other phone works perfect
i checked all security options of the blueetooth and it seems to be a problem.
Anybody have this problem too?

Yup.. slight delay.. it kinda shows a very dark crimson screen before the camera comes on. But no major issue on that.
Posted by mrbinks76
Some users have posted that previously there were issues on charging the phone using the USB cable. Instead of charging, it would seem to drain the battery faster. Some users did report that charging did occur but very slowly but only if the battery level was lower than 80% or something like that.
On R1L, I also had issues with USB charging.
Now with R1N035 installed, here are my findings:
Battery was at initally at 69%. Left it charging. Didn't keep track of how long (probably 1/2 hour later) when I checked again, battery level did hit 90% but a while later dropped to 86%.
So, I think the new firmware does address, in part, some of the issues of USB cable not charging the phone properly.
However, it seems like a full charge is not obtained but it does charge quicker.
Anyone else can confirm/correct this?

It's strange, when i tried to update mine before the R1N was available for me, SE told me that i have the latest FW but asked me if i wanna go ahead and flash again my phone with the same FW or not.

Hi Guys,
This whole turning the phone off then holding 'c' on the phone then connecting the USB again..what is supposed to happen? The first time I did this my PC found a USB Flash Drive, however it couldnt find the proper drivers to install it, I have gotten the drivers both off the CD and the SE website. Are the drivers elsewhere?
I can also confirm that the CDA is the problem in the update part as mine is 102338/55 R9A and it still detects R1L as being the latest.
Any help regarding the USB problem is appreciated...
Posted by adrianoliv
go to CONTROL PANEL-SYSTEM-HARDWARE-DEVICE MANAGER-USB CONTROLLERS and with your phone plugged in uninstall k750 usb driver, then you select update driver where you see a yellow circle and choose to select yourself the path , and select k750 usb update driver from se from the place you extract it

I am about to try this again one more time b4 work this morning....
I have asked repeateteadly to see some photo of a K750i bearing this elusive update but it would seems no one has the will to shows this...
Untill I see this I wont believe for a second there is a R1N anything out on SEUS UK for all O2 handsets...
Someone is smoking some serious stuff around here and is not sharing it either...
@GeKoX
I get that message too of would I like to update with same firmware?
I tried that with my First K750i that was returned on tuesday and the update was for R1L002 not R1N035 or whatever it apparently is supposed to be.
Do you experience bugs like the one I reported??
[ This Message was edited by: Leviath on 2005-09-15 08:09 ]
Posted by Leviath
I dont believe this R1N035 is out yet at least for myself and a few others...
I just tried now and got the usual already up to date nonsense would I still like to flash it anyway because of the pleasure of flashing for the sake of flashing message...
I give up.... for a while... In 9 days if a new firmware is not relesed I will return the phone has it displays serious bugs with R1L002
Posted by Lucas
Any release notes on R1N035?
Posted by mrwoll
Am thinking of debranding my O2 K750i with DaVinci but what would i flash to eu 2 or eu 3? Has anyone been able to update to the new firmware on eu 3?
(Would want eu 3 as it has the dutch language)

Well, you wanted (fuzzy) pictures...

As far as I know the best for you to do if your going to debrand and flash your phone I suppose you can ask the people that are doing the job for you what the best option is...
As far as I know there are no further updates for the K750i from f/w rev R1L002 and until I see proof I wont believe it there is any firmware update other than the R1L002...
No offense meant to anyone that claims otherwise...
I just Saw those Picture on the K750I bearing the R1N035 f/w revision update (thank you for posting them happycheesecake) but it is a CHINA locale and not Europe...
Worth a try in the chinese website if using babelfish webpage translator.... mmmmmm I wonder...

I saw the PICS happycheesecake thanks for posting but China is not Europe...
I presume the claim is that it was a SEUS available update for Europe locale for the R1N not any other locale...
It reads

@Leviath
CDA102338/16 is the O2 UK branded firmware. R1N for this CDA has not yet been approved by O2 to release on SEUS.
CDA102338/38 is an unbraded UK firmware, and if your phone has this CDA then you will be able to update via SEUS.
I expect there is a delay between the release of generic firmwares and operator specific firmwares because a) they have to customise the firmware with their own graphics and b) they have to thoroughly test the firmware with their own network - look what happened with R1J on the O2 network! Hopefully their experience with this firmware will not cause much delay / put them off completely from allowing an upgrade to R1N.
You seem to be going ballistic about the lack of R1N for your branded O2 phone. Sure, it's an improvement but it's not the end of the world to have to wait a few days for it. If you are really that desperate to get an update then why not use a service like DaVinci to unbrand your firmware and change the CDA to a generic model. Personally, though, I would just wait a few days and see what happens. I'm sure Esato will let you know when an O2 R1N firmware is available!

Hello,
Does anyone know what the cda & cxc number stand for?
I'm on CDA 102338/48 R9A and CXC 125953 Europe_3 and still not able to update ...
Cheers,
Dan.

My CDA102338/77 is the branded/locked to O2.
I apologize if I seem to be going ballistic but I assure all I am not...
I wont be using a service from Davinci or other since I have no desire of spending that extra cash after buying two mobiles I am a little over budget.... Other bills to pay....
I am however experiencing many bugs on all the K750i I have and had... 1 mine one my wifes and one already returned... I have 9 more days and then O2 will have them both back anyway if they dont work as they should...
Thanks for your input mwarner. Always appreciated...

Yeah I debranded and changed my CDA to CDA102338/38 last night and it flashed right to R1N without a hitch. Suits me because I've been meaning to debrand for a while plus I had £7 spare in my Paypal
Posted by n3x
I have EU_2 in the UK and i updated to R1N035 last night!
Maybe ya'll could learn a lesson from this and not buy branded phones? o2 arnt the worst mind as they dont sim lock their phones but i'll never get branded again. If you dont like the idea of re flashing your phone do yourselves a favour... get ur cheap contract branded phone sell it on ebay and buy a nice shiny clean untampered with phone like i did
R1N seems nice enough, not found any probs yet

I am in no way implying that any of the users able to update are liars...
The fact remains that for many of the users on a branded/locked to UK O2 Europe_2 are unable to update...
It seems however many users have diferent locales like China and yourself a Swedish never branded that are able to....
Which with all respect brings me back to what I really mean/meant...
For Users Like Myself there are no updates available, and only like Mwarner said it depends on your region/phone...
Again I would like to stress that any of my view are not meant as an insult to any...
If you feel otherwise I apologise...

I have managed to get the update on the UK site. I had to debrand using Davinci first though to a different CDA. But as soon as I had done that it allowed me to update on SEUS.
Video Quality does seem slightly improved.

Firstly let me say "Hello" to everyone on the forums.
I've been reading most of the posts on these forums, but have never seen a need to reply.
Well now, I hope my reply is useful.
I updated this morning from R1J002 to
R1N035
prgCXC 125952_EU_1_CL
R1N035
LCD SW versions
Main display
Current: 0
Camera SW versions
Camera
Current: 4.5
ITP SW version
CXC 125 932 R1B
Customization (just noticed that's american spelling...)
CDA102338/38 R6A
cxc125953 R1N035
EUROPE_2
Content version
PA19
This was done using SEUS on the UK website, following instructions to the letter.
I have an Unbranded phone, bought in May (the first one bought from the shop on the release date!) with Voda SIM.
Thus far, I haven't noticed any differences at all, except this;
This movie was taken about 5 minutes ago, after the update:
File size 599KB
Length: 00.28
Size: 176*144
Now compared to one taken with my old firmware (R1J002)
File size: 289KB
Length: 00.29
Size 176*144
Looks like they've improved substantially.
Piccies?
The close-ups of the laptop were taken using the Macro feature. All pictures were taken using Auto White Balance
Before pics:
http://img.photobucket.com/al[....]n_iv/Phone%20Pics/a6ed7025.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/al[....]n_iv/Phone%20Pics/04a72dc1.jpg
After pics:
http://img.photobucket.com/al[....]n_iv/Phone%20Pics/74259f2f.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/al[....]n_iv/Phone%20Pics/171eb331.jpg
(Couldn't use Esato one for some reason, sorry.)
I think the quality of the picture taken using Macro is better, but i'm not sure if that's anything to do with the way I took the picture, or the fact that pictures generally differ slightly, even when you try and take them exactly the same.
Hope this is useful.

Anyone experience anything similar after updating?

Thanks for the reply rambalu80!
I guess I have an 'unbranded' 750?
I just wait untill the update gets available.
One little question.
I noticed that when I take a picture, the pic actually stored has quite a bit delay on the pic seen on the view-finder ... On few occasions I thought I had captured 'just the right moment' but when actually viewed the pic, I saw I just missed it .. has this been improved with the new f/w?
Cheers,
Dan.

i have a weird proplem i did every thing and when i run the sonyericsson update service and get to install it seems to get stuck nothing happens from there onward ??????!!!!
i don't know what to do ??
Posted by n3x
Its known the digital cameras have a slight delay anyways compared to film cameras. It also depends how light/dark it is. If ur takin a pic in low light the camera needs to have a longer exposure to get any light in the photo (thus the need for a tripod on cameras to stop camera shake in low light/long exposures).
As far as i can tell the new firmware is the same in that respect... i dont expect it to get any better!
Posted by doone128
Mine has been updated to R1N035. Have noticed a couple of things.
1. Although the video quality seems better, it doesn't appear to record over 10 fps.
2. Shortcuts don't disappear after updating.(at last!)
3. My phone has hung and rebooted twice on new firmware! This has happened after viewing 3gp videos. Has anybody else experienced this?
Anybody else managed to get a video file over 10fps?
It really annoys me because my mates Nokia does 15fps, and the quality is loads better. =(

The phone shows full signal cover but in reality in my home, MY PHONE EXPLORER MONITOR indicates 50-60% signal cover
I was thinking that is a strange thing full signal cover all the time but in reality...
Posted by happycheesecake
My O2 phone (CDA102338/16) gets stuck at "initialising device" during the SEUS update.
Tried three different PCs. Different USB ports. Different cables. Different K750i's.
Rebooted PCs. Restarted K750i's. Removed batteries in K750i's.
Reading the above posts suggests SEUS is a bit knackered.
(edit) - Its working again. But its still stating that my O2 is up to date with R1L002...

Me thinks you might be right. My HK K750i, already at R1N035 suggests that the signal is always at full strength. My other K750i, an O2 @ R1L002 shows the signal going down and up.
I think the R1N035 firmware is suggesting the signal is stronger than it really is.

SEUS seems to be working again, still no update for me yet tho...(UK Voda branded)

SE have corrected the problem. i've just updated my f/w to R1N035.
Posted by mrwoll
Really am starting to think it was more hassle than it was worth. Think my R1L002 O2 Uk branded firmware was better. Everything worked fine. Can you flash to previous firmware versions? Anyone know if its even possible to get hold of o2 branded firmware again?
Posted by spanner
mr woll...what was more hassle than it was worth? did u you flash your fone to unbranded? and then update to R1N? why did u regret doin so?
Posted by mrwoll
Yeh I used DaVinci to unbrand my O2 phone then was able to update to R1N.
Well firstly I didnt really backup too well so I lost somethings, thats my fault but luckily I had transferred quite alot of my files previously and alot was stored on my mem card.
To be honest I dont see any increased speed in the menus, the video is slightly better, the RF just stays constant on 5 bars (I reckon it fluctuating actually gave a better representation of its state), I cant get Gmail to work. Bluetooth seems the same apart from the cursor is jerky when using Remote HID.
On my branded R1L I didnt have PlayNow (which seems pointless) I had an o2 shortcut to wap so I could include that in the shortcuts, whereas now I cant because I have to go into internet services to actually get on (and the shortcut menu wont allow me to go that far)
I dont know if anyone else has similar little annoyances about it?

Hi, happycheesecake
did you say that you have the HONG KONG K750i with R1N035. is it out already? I tried to upgrade mine from R1J but I ended up having R1L instead of R1N. I did that 3 days ago!!
Mine is
