just upgraded mine to the new firmware and so far no probs
im on uk O2 and just tested the gprs and all was fine
Posted by schmeeve
Okay, "update" drivers installed (had to round up an XP machine, w2k no go), then I run the Update Service and it tells me there's no USB cable attached.
Everytime I start up the phone with 'c' held down, it's a Flash drive for like a second, then goes into regular boot-up mode. (And wants more drivers, which I don't have installed.) Is this expected?
I don't have the PC Suite installed either. Just the Update Drivers. Total nightmare. Any pointers?

I've just updated my Orange UK K750i to R1J002. I can't believe the firmware for an Orange-branded handset is available before others! The process seemed a little tricky at first, but after installing the update service driver, everything went smoothly.
I love the new menu icons - they look so much nicer. I can't believe they've actually changed these in Orange firmware! The speaker is definitely louder, which is great. I hope the inaccurate battery indicator is sorted too. I've found a few other niggles that have been fixed. Once I've had a proper play, I'll be able to find other things. I'm very happy.

@ schmeeve
I'm not positive, but I think you need to install the normal USB cable drivers first as well.

Very nice even a luddite like me managed the upgrade
, that'd after screwing up attempt one by not holding down the c button long enough. Now my most annoying bug has gone, on R1A when entering the media player and clicking all music none of my mp3's that were stored on the card would be found which was a rather major bug. You had to manually add the folder in each and every time you entered the media player.

does it ask for a driver for a flash drive? if so use to driver from the sony website.
Posted by schmeeve
@anay: it did ask for the Flash drive ones, once installed, hasn't asked again.
Do I need the "regular" drivers as well?
Posted by pukarix
there are two sets of drivers now....
1.the normal usb which is about 0.2mb..
2.the new one,(dat we need to press the c button) which is about 0.09 mb...
d problem is i cant install the phone with the 2nd driver...how?i havent install the first driver yet...as some one said previously dat it is not needed...so any pointers?thanks
Posted by wbutt2003
Should i wait for the uk version of the update or go with the se global update service?Plze could anyone give me any tips on what to do and when
Posted by Sebby
I personally would install the normal drivers too. If you're getting an error that the cable was not found, I'd say that's the reason. Close the update service and connect the cable to the computer and see if it asks for drivers, then install them
Posted by Sebby
@ wbutt2003
You can go to the global support site and update from there. That's only where the UK site will point anyway. I've just updated my Orange UK K750i.
Posted by anay
i hadnt installd the normal ones. when ever the found new hard ware box came up i selectd it to install the new drivers from the se site. after that the usb cable not found message never came up, and it updated.
Posted by Sebby
@ anay
Worth a try for them though.
Posted by pukarix
seriously didnt work....installed d normal drivers already...at the screen where 'no usb cable found' usually comes out,it didnt come out...only written applet started...does this mean it is updating?anyone?

Yep. Agree with this and only time will tell if the sporadic disconnects are fixed.
The bad news however is that the Moto HS850 is still about as useful as a chocolate fireguard with the new firmware.

LOL. Operators demanding more for their customers.
Suspect its more likely to be the case that there had been an almightly mess up somewhere with the last firmware - the network operators were probably pushing SE to get it out only to stop the probably high numbers of handsets being returned as faulty, not because they want a better service for their customers - they only do things for themselves and their bottom lines these days.
Whats the betting that if this fixes most of the problems (lock-ups and restarts) then operators like Orange in particular will then start to block the update service like they did with the K700i.
Posted by Sebby
@ SL33PYH34D
Yep, that sounds right about the icons.
I hope Orange don't stop the use of the SEUS. They probably will as most things are too good to be true! That said, the SEUS was pulled apparently due to problems with the K700i, and it is back up and running for Orange handsets now, and has been for a while. So perhaps we won't be so unfortunate.
Anyway, must get some sleep now...

Hi, been following this thread for a bit and having been subjected to a few lock ups and 'memory card cannot be found' errors I eagerly awaited this update.
I'm now a bit non-plused as to how to go about the update. I have installed the USB drivers on the cd (came with the phone) and on the website (i'm assuming I did cause I'm told I can't get any more), i go to the update site but when i get to the 'press c then plug in the cable' part and it just turns the phone on when I plug it in...no updating going on. I hold down c for ages but it still goes through the process of turning the phone on and no updating ... ?

For those with GPRS setting issues: just got SE's K750 Support page and get the settings from there again... Worked for me!

Posted by rambalu80
@ Celeron655
I think everyone with EUROPE_3 have the same problem. Hopefully the update will be out soon!
Posted by Celeron655
i hope so
Posted by ahjiu

Posted by riffola

I'm in the US and bought the phone from my regular guy at eBay.
I'm about halfway through the update (no error messages so far and I'm posting this from a different computer in case you were wondering) but unfortunately I'll get the same damn firmware languages I orginally have (English and simplified Chinese). I would love to be able to have EU1 for the French and the Portuguese, as I text frequently in those languages and would like to have had the T9.

Just updated mine from SE-India without any errors.

Lads, anyone managed to update with customization CUROPE_3 yet?
Let us know when you will succeed!
Posted by darrengf
I read on hear the Orange Stopped the k700i updates. Well my phone still updates as well as all my other friends. Orange were the only uk mboile company that worked. They ionly stopped it for a couple of weeks when SE had problems.
Voda and T-Mobile on the K700i doesnt work, 02 branded now do but only to R2AN.
I hvae spoke to the Tech guys at Orange and they are aware of the SEUS service and they also aprove of it. So let hops the management see fit to leave it.

Just a simple question...I really dont care about camerasound, speakersound etc. what really matters is if the "Standby Crash Bug" is gone...
Is it!?

We don't know just yet... takes a few days before we know for sure...
Had to hold "C" during entire update too... When it reached 60% it jumped emediately to 100% and said Update Complete... Weird but phone works and update was successful...
Posted by jedi-knight83
question....
so how do we now know where there is ANOTHER update? the first page on the SE update site doesnt show a list of firmware and when it was updated???
Posted by masseur
we only ever know that for any models when someone spots an upcoming firmware on the EMMA servers or actually tries an online update and finds a new version on their phone
occassionally, as with this update, se support mention to a customer/esato member that a new firmware is becoming available soon and that member posts here but there is no real formal way of telling end users that a new firmware is available
Posted by darky
hi all I'm a newbie here just a quickie about me,
I'm an old sony ericsson user had 630 - k700 -k750
but I've been a regular at esato for over a year (or two
) just been too lazy to register, so I already know about a lot of you guys and I love the place
ok not to drift too offtopic, if you keep pressing c and nothing happens close the window and disconnect the usb cable REMOVE YOUR MEMORY STICK after turning the phone off and do the update again,
I tried doing the update more then 7 times and it kept freezing at press c and insert usb cable I almost pulled my hair out as my phone froze 10 times a day and I had to remove my battery (this is when I have my 1 gb sony msd in) it's a k750c (I had a different firmware then you guys r1c004) it's unbranded btw.
after I removed the memory stick it worked right away hope it works for those having problems too just make sure you install the usb SERVICE UPDATE drivers as well they were mentioned earlier here, if you missed them here is a direct link:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/d[....]_Update_Service_USB_driver.zip
you install these when it asks you before the press c thing just unzip them and locate the folder.
hope this firmware fixes the freezes if it doesn't there will be hell to pay >.< I didn't pay 600+$ for a phone and memory stick to have to remove the battery 10 times a day
Posted by Mr Miyagi
ok now that the new update service is available, for those who have updated, can you confirm the freezing problem has been fixed as well as the phone restarting on its own problem, has that also been fixed? sorry if this has been asked before.
thanks

Belgian and Dutch users: the update is availablen I've just updated!
Posted by kallegod
Update succesfull. Version Europe_4. The calendar has now month names in the right language. Swedish, finnish etc.
Posted by masseur
thanks turt, same for EUROPE_3
Posted by tamir
sorry this may sound a little bit dum
but do i have to install the old usb driver then the update one or it is enough to install the update only because you know the old one holds 260KB sized files while the update is only 8.9KB ???????????
your reply will be enormously appreciated:)
Posted by jedi-knight83
Hmmmmm
my O2-UK phone that i updated last night just lost its shortcut settings....

what you need to do is restart your computer in safe mode and do a system restore to a time before you tried the update as it will not ask you for the drivers again, preferablly a day before, now when you update it will ask you for the drivers like last time.
As for the memory card for me the only way I got the update to work was to remove it but some people were able to do it with the memory card in (from what I've read).

Yes it is!
Updated my phone too, my phone crashed about every hour, so I'll let you know if the standby bug is fixed.
BTW.
The phone feels MUCH faster imho.
JBenchmark 1: 3956 (3933)
JBenchmark 2: 348 (338)
JBenchmark 3D High: 114 (92!)
JBenchmark 3D Low: 205 (137!)
( ) = old score

Browsing through and reading SMS is alot faster. With the old firmware there was lagging all over the place when reading and writing sms's... theyre gone now...
I also noted that videoplayback is a tad smoother.
I'll be taking alot of pictures today trying to figure out whats behind the 3.8 - 4.4 camera updates. I'll post back.
