Posted by beeb
whats going on???:-[
I have just had an email back from SE as I emailed them earlier this week asking about new firmware and they sent me this:

I thought it was confirmed for week 24?
Posted by masseur
I received an email yesterday from the same place, i.e. the sony ericsson call centre, from a John Davies confirming there was an update available and thats why I called HAYS as mentioned in my post here yesterday who also confirmed it
lets please not fill this thread with "when is it coming", "why isn't it here" etc etc because posts like that serve no purpose except to dilute the thread
we know its coming soon to SEUS so lets just have some patience or send your phone to HAYS (or wherever) if you can't wait

I have had various (most) SE phones since they launched .... i have NEVER received a direct/straight answer from the SE Support team...they always say that its not confirmed or they don't have plans
They sometimes don't even know details that have already been made public and are on their website...they seem to be kept in the dark frequently or have little access to the developers

A teaser...

Found another bug. Apart from my phone freezing up once, my SHORTCUTS keep changing back to DEFAULT... this has happend 4 times when I change profiles.
Change profile, then right move the joystick, define a shortcut, then change profile, then go back, then right click again and you'll see that whaever you defined is gone and the 'CREATE NEW SHORTCUT' button shows up again!!!!
Can someone confirm this bug please?
thanks
Posted by kaizerp900
Mine doesn't appear to have that bug.

hey guys how many sms txt's can you store on a K750i?
Posted by eolivas
A correction to my last post, this occurs when the phone locks up (seems to be when the keylock is on) and I pull the battery out then power cycle. When it comes back, the shortcuts are all defaulted.

Good to hear there is a firmware update on its way. I feel really lucky to have a pratically problem-free one. I hope the update wont change that :S
Posted by iom_dave
Jut spoke to SonyEricsson UK - firmware update in the very near future - should be next week
I gave them a ring to find out if i should return my phone to phones4u or wait - he recommended waiting.
Spoke to phones4u - the 14 days return policy is 30 days for a phone with a fault - since i ordered the phone sunday gives SE enough time for a new firmware so i think i may hang on rather than risk the royal mail or phone with other faults.
Posted by Firefreak
Guess I'm just bored here at work.
If you change the id of the update service url from the k700 id to the k750 id it goes as far as letting you tick all the checkboxes for the required steps.
I have a pentium 133, my unit is fully charged etc...
Clicking "next" though results in a 404 error...
/updateservice/nocache/10242/stepCheck.jsp was not found on this server.

damn thats good, i still cant make my mind up between the z800i or the k750i, i no the z800i stores 75 txt i think, but i like the fact that you can recored a video clip while the flip is closed kind of a top secret operation
and thats its got 2 light than one.at the end of the day might go for the z800i coz of the 3g. t-mobile uk says there 3g is working but its not avialable in london and that the signal is very weak i guess its on trial still for the little towns to use it.
Posted by mckvakk
Z800i can store 200 sms
Posted by jedi-knight83
so where has this firmware release got to??
Posted by Sebby
It's supposed to be available in week 24 (this week?) IIRC.
Posted by flanonthenet
The link to the Update Service has now appeared on the Support page for the K750i. It's not working just yet though... Can't be long now....
Posted by danweb
Mine intermittently locks up after being in standby. O2 have said they're going to swap it for me when the new batch come in. Sound likely ?
Posted by flanonthenet
I think I was misunderstood on another thread...
The SEUS link has now been added to the K750i support page. This was not previously the case, where people had linked to it by substituting the K750i's ID number in the url. It's now publicly there.
I'm just letting people know it's imminent.
Posted by flanonthenet
Oddly, only the English K750i support page has added the Update Service link so far. Hope I haven't jumped the gun by saying it's imminent. Maybe they're just adding the link for now.
Oh well, I'm sure somebody will be quick enough to point out when it is operative.
Posted by masseur
earlier in this thread its been commented as week 24 which, I believe, is next week
Posted by Klorin
@masseur

Strange, there's nothing at at the swedish site... I'm on EU4, so I wonder if I should go for that (UK?) URL...
Posted by Partybuster
I'm getting that same error message. I'm on EU_1.
I guess they are working on it.
Posted by Deano1889
Im getting the same problem as you masseur.
Can't see why because i've done everything by the book.
Posted by masseur
perhaps the link is there but they haven't made all varients available yet?
I assume what you were downloading then was the latest version of the application that performs the update
Posted by Klorin
Now they have a link up on the Norwegian pages too. Guess they are working on local updates now.
Posted by eolivas
HOUSTON, WE HAVE LIFT-OFF!! K750 UPDATE AVAILABLE NOW!!
Welcome to Sony Ericsson Update Service
This service will keep your device updated with the very latest software. When an improved software version for your product is introduced, you can download it whenever you want to. You will be guided smoothly through the update process.
To perform an update you will have to complete two phases:
1. Prepare
Some preparations need to be done for your device and on your PC.
2. Update
Simply download the latest phone software version and update your device!
Posted by Deano1889
Agree with you on that one, think we'll have to wait untill SE sort out the update at there side. At lease we have some movement from them at long last! I just hope that the update will resolve all the issues.
Does anyone know if it will remove my crappy Orange icons? They really are doing my nut in!
Regards
Deano
Posted by masseur
@eolivas, yeah, thats what we are talking about in the last page or two but so far none of us has been successful
