It was at 100% before I started the upgrade. If I plug it in to the mains to charge now nothing happens. There is no display - zippo!

@ DJKarlos2006
Looks like you killed ur phone by unplugging it while u were updating, You will need to take it to an SE service center and get it flashed there, or you can try using Davinci as i belive u can restore dead phones using that (Read first post for links etc), SEUSII can not help you with dead phones.

I had the chance to test two w800s, one with R1AA008 and one with R1L002. I used the same memory card and the same mp3 songs in testing. The R1AA008 phone had the terrible hissing sound, the R1L002 – nothing! It is no noticeable noise when using the headphones that comes with w800 (same headphone used for testing on both phones). It is, however, some constant low background noise when the WALKMAN is turned on, using other headphones (Creative) on R1L002. Doesn’t really matter for me, I’m very satisfied with the w800 in-ear-phones.
I, off course, own the terrible R1AA008 phone. How do I downgrade? Will a SE service center downgrade? Can I use http://www.davinciteam.com ?

you could try upgrading to R1BC. My R1BC doesn't hiss.

@yngvewb:
Yes, you can downgrade using Davinci Team service.
Hissing noise is a well knowm problem with the w800i present in all firmwares after R1L002. You must choose between no hissing noise and missing the improvements of later firmwares (ie increased volume & improvements in photo and video quality)

As I said in my original post the SEUS had gone back to the main menu so it looked like it had failed way before I unplugged it.
I was trying to find a SE Service Centre. There were no details on the SE contacts page. WHere can I find the nearest SE centre?

Confirmed O2 have released R1BC for K750

Just upgraded my R1L002 to R1B002... I must say I freaked out first because the SEUS abrouptly ended, I wasn't looking, and it went back to the main screen, saying "Start", "Exit"... to update. I let the phone there for 5 minutes aprox., exited SEUS...
It took some second to start the phone cause the firmware I suppose was installing. It booted and the info was that it updated OK! So, it's working pretty good right now.
The hiss sound isn't very loud, the mega bass feature is usable at all now, the speaker and earphone is louder, the contrast is greatly improved, pictures are taken as the shutter sound, menus are faster... and, much appreciated, the Bluetooth permissions are OK! Max_Wedge... It's working for me, I can send files and delete them without prompting in the phone... it's great.

One thing I noticed with the new firmware is that everything has speeded up. The menus are smoother now. However there is one minor bug I noticed and that is when I am transferring multiple photos via Bluetooth from my phone to my pc.
Normally I would go and use MARK to select multiple photos in my phone and then select SEND to my Bluetooth device and the phone would normally send the photos I selected one by one to my computer.
Now, even after I have selected multiple photos and send them via bluetooth - I noticed that the last photo I selected is sent only. The progress bar on the phone would say sending photos but only one photo is sent!
In order for me to send multiple photos, I have to manually send them one a time via bluetooth. When I use infrared, there is nothing wrong and I ma able to send all the photos. It is only in bluetooth mode that it would do this. Bummer since I prefer to use bluetooth over IR and cable.

You could go and browse directly the memory card from your PC and drag&drop them to wherever you want...

Recently I upgade my firmware to R1BC002...
The update was success, but two days later, when I reject phone call (push busy button)...my K750i' battery drained and the phone is hot (not warm!!)...
I putt off the battery, go to the AC to make it cold, put on again then charge the battery...The phone ring again...I reject again and my K750i start to warm again...
I turn off the phone and go home....at home I charge again...but the phone didn't startup...only show red led in infra red..
Now my phone is in SE Service center
Anyone...have you rejected the call? is it ok? is the battery drained?
If you want to try this, I am not responsible if your battery is damage...
sorry for my bad english...
Posted by rockygali
mines got R1BC too.. ive ocassionally rejecting calls because the timing aint that gud.. im on a meeting... it happened last week... tho i didnt experience that dilemma... too strange if you ask me. were you running bluetooth or any other applications within the phone while rejecting that call?
Posted by cubeur
Hi,
I have install the R1BC002 on my W800i and for the moment everything seems to be ok... but....
Sometime, my phone is in the "economic state" screen without light, just the clock and suddenly a little sound very loud is play... "dong..." like a SMS coming, but nothing else.. no SMS , no call, nothing.. except this sound..
in one afternoon i heard it 3 times.... ???
bluetooth is off
sound is on
so ?? does some have already have this problem ??
thanks

Posted by darrengf
Orange K750i, still dont have the update.
Posted by jack77777
yes i 2 have noticed shorter battery life, just updated my k750i to rb1002 or sumat like dat anyhow, also the hissing when playing music i hav always had in r1035 but i can only hear it when i put my w800i headphones/hpm70 stereo handsfree then turn the volume off , it never bothers me cos even if i put music up to one volume bar it gets rid of hissing.
also the camera is the same speed and everything , the video is worse it is square and not as good as in r1035.
speaker volume has not changed one lil bit im dissapointed i should hav stayed with r1035 mush better.

yes, your phone is still branded to Orange. so it will upgrade accordly to orange's updates.. but as far as i can see..orange hasn't approved the latest version yet (for w800i users). feel free to try updating, but i don't think u will get the newest firmware at the moment though.
Posted by Tervel
could we get some more input on this shorter battery life claim I've seen lately (on this page)? Are there more people that have the latest firmware and are noticing a decrease in battery life??????
Posted by biasiman
I tried to upgrade but seus say that i have t latest version but i have r1n0035!! how can it be t last? Is orange still distributing this old one or seus is getting crazy? Is tehre any way to understand if my mobile is actually branded orange through imei code?
thanks Corrado
Posted by aremaboy
I have updated my K750i for 7 times-updating and reupdating for the sake of 'understanding' how the system works- by using SEUS..it's unbranded..never encountered problems. R1BC002 is the best so far..maybe the final F/W before the successors K790/K800 are released. Despite minor bugs many Esato forummers posted here,this F/W absolutely pleases most people..

My w800 still keeps crashing out saying the update failed. I have real problems with the phone justs switching to camera mode at random without the lens cover even being open. The phone is so flaky at the moment that I guess I will have to take it in to my nearest Carphone warehouse. Unless anyone here can offer a DIY solution that is...

@jack77777
"if u have r1035 firmware dont upgrade yet wait another month till new one comes out, r1b002 is not as good as it sounds"
I have to say that I strongly disagree with what you say. R1N035 was one of the buggiest firmwares, wheras R1BC002 is one of the best.
In my opinion the best firmwares have been R1A044 (the first, but it was great as long as you didn't experience the standby crashes that some phones were prone to), R1L002 (very good apart from having lower quality video) and R1BC002 (probably the best so far).
If anyone is considering upgrading their firmware I would suggest they look at the first post and judge for themselves whether a updating to a new firmware is worthwhile.

Can I ask a silly question? I am about to update my k750i to latest firmware but I wanted to know - will my local language I have now in my phone remain there after the update, or the new software will offer only languages it has?
Posted by O2 K750i
@mwarner
I'm with you - BT seems better in R1BC - overall much better though my phone recently said insert sim after undocking. Looks like this and joystick are getting tired.
Posted by Elizabeth
umm... is it very bad if I try to launch the update program and it shows "The service is unavailable, try later"?

hey guys i have a problem...
i dowloaded update service and tried to update to R1BC002 (i was formerly running R1A008)... however the update didn't complete and it displayed "error reading script" (im not sure bout the exact words but it was something about scripts)... and so i unplugged and checked my phone if i ruined it... to my surprise when i checked the software it now displays R1BC002 and i also noticed the KB to MB memory display change... so i thought that the update procedeed after all... but just to make sure, i ran update service again hoping that it will say "you have the current software, no new update available or whatever".... however it still procedeed and asked me to update... so i procedeed... however towards the end it said "failed to update unplug cable and restart again"... i repeated this about 3 times and got the same result.... im just wonderring what i did wrong... if my phone displays R1BC002 (and everything works fine btw) shouldn't the update service just tell me i have the latest software?!? i hope someone can enlighten me about this.... also im just wondering about the software details...
my phone displays
R1BC002
prgCXC125952_EU_1_CL
R1BC002
Customization
CDA102338/37 R6A
cxc125953 R1AA008
EMEA_6
im bothered by the customization... why does it say R1AA008? shouldn't it be already changed to R1BC002? or is this becuase my update didn't proceed into completion? if so, any fixes? i think SEUS is down right now as it constantly says "The service is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later" ... im sory if i have so many questions... im just making sure that i didn't ruin my phone! i hope you guys can help me out! thanks!

@ angelpie
make a backup copy of ur phone(preferebly with MyPhoneExplorer),
do a master reset(a hard master reset,i.e.:"Reset All")
update again with SEUS
it defienitly works.
Good Luck
Posted by angelpie
happy thanks for the reply...
so THERE IS something wrong with my phone? but how come i can use it normally and seem to have gained the 'updates' of the latest software? in anyway i'll try what you said and hope for the best!
EDIT: SEUS is still down... it still gives me the unavailable at the moment thingy... what could be the problem with SEUS?...

with the previous version SEUS i was getting the message, latest software already installed. I click continued but still r1a software.
So i have downloaded the newest SEUS version and when i have to connect the phone to the computer and hold c it doesnt go to the next step.
Instead my computer picks it up as a new device( same thing that happens when you plug in a usb device for first time)
Why is this happening, anyone help me? Please???
Thanks

Why does the update service keep saying this??
Is there a way around this??

@Elizabeth

Yes, SEUS detects the language settings and updates your phone to the latest firmware available for that language and for the phones customization (i.e. phone prodiver)
> umm... is it very bad if I try to launch the update program
> and it shows "The service is unavailable, try later"?
No, just try again later.

Don't worry too much about this. I still have R1N035 customisation on my phone. However, as was stated previously, if you are prepared to do a master reset then you should get the 'correct' customisation ... not that it really matters.
