If you're phone was killed while flashing it, then it had a bad flash/EROM chip and it's not DaVincis fault - it's Sony Ericssons fault
By the way, it wasn't YOUR ear I was twisting, it was victorh017 - first people don't read instructions, now they don't even read the posts they reply to either

@CyberVisitor
Well its my 3rd K750 one dead one faulty one fine AT LAST.....
I known you were not twisting my ear originally but after I slated davinci I said do as you will....
It may be so that it was a bad this or other and it is easier to blame SE rather than someone else.....
It is strange however that there seemes to be a mixed opinion of both SE and Davinci here @ Esato....
you seem to defend davinci like your part of the team..... if you are well good, tell the rest that they wont see my cash or my recommendation in a rush....
If your not, well boy, it seems they have a knight in shinning armour...
Have fun and enjoy...
I will :lol

Now the toys are back in the pram - does anyone know why O2 & Voda have delayed R1N. Is R1N pants? Maybe us O2 Branded folks will have to wait for R1P/O/R////

( has every1 transferd files fine after the update? note* the problem is only wen putting files onto the memory stick thru the usb, something is always missing wen i disconnect and its not the usual turn fone off and they return problem. i left the m.s out wen i done the update cud that be it? Hey i had the same problem. Newly uploaded files on my stick would just not appear (typically only first 3 or 8 files of a directory). This happened after i updated to the most recent firmware. Files already on the stick would also disappear. (seems the index on the stick just changed)
I checked my stick with hdtune (hdtune.com) and it gave read-errors.
Finally i worked around it by first uploading all the files to the stick, then closing all windows which had the 'mass media drive' in it. Then proceed with safely removing USB hardware.
I know it sound silly, but it did the trick for me.

I keep insisting with O2 and SE the point exactly....
Wilst a vast majority of O2 customer service/support seems to know nothing about the R1N, SE support insist if you want your O2 branded handset upgraded to R1N you should visit theire service centers and they will look into it for you and see what can be done...
Personally I will wait for these guys to sort it out... I got a mobile that works at least without crashing.....
Apparently the Vodafone and O2 still have to sign in to the upgrade....
I hope they sort it out soon... Im a little pived to be honest....
Posted by RB1080
Haha, I hope they go to O, or Q/R, R1P and the K750i seem to go together too well

The firmware page says that:
- BUG: Java applications can no longer turn on Bluetooth (i.e. the message "Failed to complete this enquiry" appears rather than the question "Allow application to create server bluetooth connection?")
I don't have this problem on my phone
R1N035
prgCXC1250036_EU_3_CL
LCD SW version 0
Camera SW version 4.5
on Orange.
Does anyone else not find this an issue?

Okay.
O2 aren't too happy with
at the moment over K750i firmware. Basically its all down to the BT headsets O2 gave away to new customers when they got their free K750i. Basically, the headset & the phone didn't work as spec; this was down to 's implementation of BT 2.0 on the phone. O2 won't go to R1N035 as it doesn't fix their BT issue (however T1Q055 does - but that's another story.)
Voda are currently happy with their current K750i firmware release.
Posted by jobski
any idea on the w800i firmware release?
Posted by Leviath
@happycheesecake
That is the first time here I heard something that adds to a suspicion that I have regarding the BT operation between the K750i and a pc with a bt 1.1/1.2 dongle...
Wilst the k750i BT 2.0 is backward compatible I am willing to bet the phone freaks out from time to time with "inferior" BT protocols...
This I havent tested yet but I soon will when I get my hands on a BT 2.0 dongle...
About your T1Q055 I bet we will never get anyother f/w revision via SEUS that they dont want to release...
I have contacted SE and O2 extensivle and O2 for the most party seem to be unaware of any other f/w releases by SEUS...
I wish I had never bought my K750i now I should have holded until they stop fitting it out with our freakin money....

Actually its the other way around. The attached device disconnects because the K750i keeps poling for EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)

T is test firmware and R is release firmware. I actually test Bluetooth & WiFi devices for a living so @ work I get to play with all lots of devices. BTW, we've brought some 3,000 K750i's so far, and have about 9,000 on option.

You're not connecting to the right people at O2! I have (@ work) contacts for all major UK networks. I can't hand out phone numbers, sorry.
What BT dongle are you using? We should have examples @ work of every BT device sold in the UK so I could do a BT sys-test between some K750i's and your dongle, if that would help.

@ The Cheesecake
Any idea on release date for R1Q - and any other fixes that will be included.
Called O2 2day who suggested I contact SE about a new FW (R1L+) as they would be most likely to know when it was coming out. Oh how naive.

I am sure the morons that answer the phone on O2 are the wrong people but I am unaware that these companies actually have any right people that common mortals like myself can speak to or even email....
Heck I known If I were one of them (I am at my job) wouldn want to deal with a lot of grief form the people that for better or worst actually pay the wages.... I have the choice and good service with a smile is part of the package.... Nothing like a bit of tongue and cheek...
Well if you wanna try something at your work try this...
Start the Media player on the K750i and have BT enabled on the phone.... (I use the Belkin BT dongle F8T008uk) Now send a file via BT to your K750i wilst playing that song on media player.... It doesnt matter if its the windowns drivers for the dongle or the latest from belkin....
Post the results....
I have tested with several K750i same results all the time...
| Quote: |

I dont agree since in my experience the device or devices remain connected.
And if the K750i like you say keeps polling for EDR than it shouldnt, not when the device(s) are not compatible... And actually the devices should really ignore this polling....
But in reality has I say I have no experince in this...
What the point of being backward compatible when you keep insisting on talking in a incompreensible "tongue"...
on the T and R subject....
Read again...
I bet we will never get anyother f/w revision via SEUS that they dont want to release...
I am happy that you get such a great job satisfaction but none of the 3000 k750i or the other 9000 on option can really cure the annoying list of bugs they contain...
One thing is for sure it doesnt help me... what would is the test I suggested and the results... heck the cure is a f/w that fixes the issues with bt and sw...

Can't update my firmware on an Unbranded K750i (the black one) I have Vodafone SE as Operator.
This is the error I get on SE update. (In swedish sorry!)
"Din enhet får inte använda den här tjänsten
Din operatör medger inte att du använder tjänsten för denna enhet.
Vi ser fram emot att få hjälpa dig snart igen.
Tack för att du använde Sony Ericssons uppdateringstjänst! "
Roughly it says that my operator doesnt not allow me to use the SE update service.

The problem when buying a black, unlocked K750i with original SE firmware from Vodafone stores is that even though the phone appears to be just as you bought it across the street it isn't. The phone has some items locked (like GPRS settings) and the CDA is blocked at SEUS.
Please confirm what I write by doing a test. Open the service menu (press joystick once to the right, press *, press joystick twice to the left, press *, press joystick once to the left, press *). Now, select "Serviceinfo", then select "Programinfo", scroll to the bottom of the window and check what CDA number you have (the numbers that comes after CDA). Please post the result here. If your phone is allowed to be used at SEUS, then the CDA should say CDA102337/12 (since you're from Sweden running Europe_4 firmware).
Please post the result. If the numbers are correct, then there is some temporary problem at SEUS. If the numbers differ, then the phone is blocked by Vodafone even though it's bought totaly unlocked/unbranded.

SEUS is currently down for K750i
Posted by happycheesecake
@Leviath
Okay, will test a few K750i's against various Belkin BT adaptors tonight, when I get to work.
The reason why I've got test firmware to play with is because we brought matching HBH-662 BT headsets to go with each K750i ordered. And they don't work correctly with the K750i. So as I test BT devices,
Sweden supplied us with test firmware that could go to release firmware later on.
HBH-662 is a BT 1.2 device. Strangely enough the HBH-608 headsets we were sent to test were also BT 1.2, yet they seem to work fine.
Leviath, I can tell you're upset by the whole issue and I'm well p*ssed off myself by having to recall thousands of BT headsets to replace them with others. I'm trying to help - honest - but my way with words isn't always the best way of putting things across!

I just connected my k750i via USB after upgrading and now it is reconized as a W800 and I needed to download the W800 USB-drivers in order to access the memorystick?! Anyone else have this problem?
And now if I try to update again I get a message saying that my operator dosn't support my phone - It is unbranded and I have updated several times before!

service is not available for any k750i's at all....
As to your w800i I suggest you get in contact with SE, it seems they buggered up YET again...

Ok, so no k750i's can upgrade. That's a bit of a relief... at least it is not my phone. I just don't get it? How come that exactly MY phone and no others get recognized as a w800? I know - nobody can answer that *sigh* I am just getting... well... impatient with SE.

You're not the only one. I have the same problem. Press the volume button, does it still say K750? If you do a master reset, your phone will now read W800.

@jriff
Not quite true my friend.....
Quite a few K750i users that upgraded mentioned this "unusual" and free upgrade I wonder to the W800i like Darkchild....
Look at this Topic

Hi,
Sorry if this has been already answered.
I am on the first firmware, is it a good idea to upgrade my k750 to the new release?
Are there any bugs in the new firmware (i have read one in the first post of this thread)
THanks in advance.
Posted by Leviath
@mvinodkuumarr
I would wait until SEUS is back up again and they ironed out the updating bugs via theire web service...
As for your other question, well it seems there are a quite a few bugs still out there even with the latest R1N...
Posted by mr_wizard
Your best bet is to read through some of the latter pages of this thread. Some ppl report no problems or very few, while others are having bigger issues. One thing I would say, if your happy with your phone and there are no issues, then stick with the firmware you have!

Is the bluetooth-apps problem the only confirmed bug with K750's R1N035? How about those file-disappearing problem other people here reported?

No...
There are few more bugs reported... read the topics...

@Leviath
Ok. Tried sending a file via BT to three different K750i's, one R1N, one R1L, one T1Q. Used four different Belkin BT USB adaptors - PN's F8T008uk, F8T009uk, F8T001_v2, F8T003_v2. Phones were playing a 4 minute MP3 track; the file sent was just under 1Mb in size. Played music thru speaker, SE supplied headphones and also HPM-70 handsfree.
Used a Windows XP SP2 PC with Belkin's BT driver.
Music stuttered a bit a bit with R1L, but thats it. None of the phones reset. No disconnection issues.
I'll try again tonight, just in case.
Posted by pcghost
I need help.
I face:
Your device is not permitted to use this service
Your operator does not approve the use of this service with this device.
We look forward to assisting you again soon.
Thank you for using the Sony Ericsson Update Service!
The latest firmware version is R1N035 for the k750i and R1L002 for the w800i. (as of 13 Sept '05)
but mine is R1L002. (Singapore)

Posted by Dextermike
I think it really depends. I'm fine with R1N; but it's not W800... I wish they would add the option were you can choose to turn on either the phone or the music player on K750...
Posted by numb
why ?
I think its a really silly feature
The main purpose of a cell phone is to be able to make and receive calls anywhere, this you can still do while listening to music for hours in normal mode.
By turning on only the musicmode, just to get a few more hours playing time, you are degrading a great multimedia phone into being nothing but a simple yet expensive flash mp3 player.
If a simple flash mp3 player was what you wanted, then why buy a phone ?
Posted by Dextermike
well i live in canada, and sometimes when I go to the country for a day, there is no reception, so the battery just gets empty faster searching all day long for signal. It's also useful when you fly...
