Just updated to R1CA021 on O2-UK.
Feels like the menus are not as slick as the R1BC002 f/w.
However, that might just be my phone.
Hard to tell with camera yet but Video quality seems good.

IMHO this R1CA021 is just a fake firmware with changed only version of camera. All other changes are inspired by ourselves! Nothing changed! I propose to you leave only one line in description of this f/w - camera version.

Yups... the quality camera is clearer but the video recording descended maybe the bitrate low, but..
i m not see quality in audio video (mp4 etc.video music) is low, b'coz when we encode we do it setting audio/video bitrate (maybe)

Just updated my K750
This firmware powered the K750, now navigation it's very fast and better. Really like this R1CA021.
The video resolution is poor but nothing new to this model i think
My K750 now has TURBO

You need to select high res video from the video menu.
Posted by Ninja Dom
We need to clear up the video quality.
Some people are saying there is a new HIGH QUALITY VIDEO option.
Is this true, if so then what does it do??

Open the lens cover, select video mode, then select shoot mode - I now have either "for picture messaging" or "high quality video" - didn't have this be4.

Just checked this on my R1BC. It is already there. I think this has always been an option on the K750 since the beginning.

I tend to agree to a certain extent. Obviously it is not a 'Fake' firmware, as it has been released through SEUS. However, I have just updated my firmware and took some photos before and after (obviosuly of identical subjects). I could not perceive a difference between them.
As the camera version has been updated, there are obviously some differences (e.g. bug fixes to stop crashes during zooming - I don't know whether this has been fixed, I am just giving an example of what could have been fixed). However, for the normal user I see no perceptible differences between the two latest firmware versions.

Saying fake i mean legal but beauty treating f/w for demonstrating illusion of support the bestselling model. We inspire to ourselves that a lot of changes are available with new f/w.

Just updated a phone here at work to R1CA and did a photo side by side comparison with my own phone which has R1BC.
Onscreen the whitebalance was way different between the two but once transfered to the PC, well, see for yourself.

Does this firmware read m4a tags?

Tried to update the fw for my w800i (currently BC0002) and it seemed to have done something (the whole update procedure went through and it took about 5-8 minutes) but the firmware is still the same.
Mine is unbranded and the update is done through SEUS.
Anybody's w800i has been updated?
Posted by dangerpaki
What about the USB transfer rate. i am just uploading mp3 with one but latest firmware. but the speed is far from usb2. this is really slow.
so is there any increase in usb transfer rate. i really hope so. becasue theoretically 480 mbits for usb2 means 60MB/Second transferrate. probably i aint even getting near 1 MB/sec

I have problem while i wanted to update. I have the latest version of macromedia flash player installed it is 8,0,24,0. But my Update service says it's incompatible, can anyone check this?
Posted by dietbrand
You have to uninstall flash player (uninstall util on macromedia site, use search edit here's the uninstaller: http://fpdownload.macromedia.[....]nt/uninstall_flash_player.exe) en then reinstall.
Anyone noticed that in the service test menu in the new firmware, when u do the led/ illumination test the red led on top (in IR window) doesn't blink anymore?
Edit: strange, it suddenly started working.

Hesky, I have tried un installing and installing loads of times. I've even emailed SE and got no response. I'm trying to get this problem fixed as i want to update to the lastest version to get rid of the camera lag (its annoying)
Is there anywhere on the net where i can find the nearest SE Shop ??

I just updated my K750i to R1CA021 CHINA_CL of APAC_1 version. Here what I observed so far:
1. The disappearing highlight image bug in all themes embedded with animated highlight image such as those of original K750i: Eternal, Wave, Tiles and Beam, is finally 90 % fixed. When you set K750i default Eternal theme for example, you WON'T see any disappearing highlight image anymore (but, the image won't animate-it only becomes still image-until you scroll here and there to Calls or Settings menu. The highlight image will show its genuine animation, which means moving image, as you are in the Calls or Settings....try it and you will understand what I mean. After leaving Calls or Settings menus, the animated highlight image in the theme just behaves normal in all part of the phones, except under Applications folder. It's still stuck as non-animated highlight image, which really should have been animated images). Although it is not 'major' improvement for most people, for me, as a theme lover, this R1CA021 is a great work. The previous R1AA008 and R1BC001 firmwares DID have this annoying minor bug. It's fixed now, and it's enough...at least I won't see any disappering highlight image as I scroll my joystick.
2. The speed among menus is smoother (or is it only psychologically affected?)
3. The video quality is just the same as before...who said it is now worse? (or Am I wrong?)
4. No "SIM locks" as our fellows from Russia had warned us before. Everything is OK....All shows 5 open padlocks...
Mostly, all remains the same as before...but, I'm sure there are a lot of improvements (or bugs) which we haven't discovered so far. Let's update then..it's worth-updating.
Cheers.

thanks for your comments.. one question, can my W800i update thru SESU to R1CA021?
Posted by aremaboy
I think W800 users should wait for the release of RCA021, just like the previous one...a week after K750i Firmware release.

Hvent notice changes actually... even the cam version launches up to 5.3, i still get blurry pix. well not that blurry... but its not that sharp. tho i can get sharp pix by really getting my heads dead steady. its just that.. i want the cam to compensate my quick little shakes. but anyway.. its all good!

At first, flashing failed several times (at about 95%). When I tried to start the phone, it had the new FW version, old camera version 4.5 (!) and only english menues (I am swedish). I did a master reset, and then flashing succeeded, but still only english menues.
Any ideas?
Posted by admad
I like the new 15 fps video recording
This made my mind, that k800 will have upgraded video recording.
Posted by aremaboy
I think the improvements in R1CA021 might be too 'technical' to understand by laymen like me..who knows the Java system improves greatly inside..
Anyway is it normal for a phone offering frequent new f/w during its life cycle? Does other brand do the same? Sometimes it's so tiring to update and re-update on and on..
Posted by Brankar
Athos:
Are u using SEUS or else?
Posted by rockygali
and then again it all depends to the user... if hes satisfied in a firmware... whats the use of updating...
this only means that SE really gives it customers the exetnded options... thats why i luv SE... actually thats the exciting part.. youll never know wots instore even after months of purchasing their units.
Posted by athos
Brankar> Yes, I am using SEUS II (the standalone flashbased app), latest version since it updates itself. I tried reinstalling it.

I upgraded my K750i from R1J to R1BC and found that the video playback quality in fullscreen mode has gone down. Anyone facing the same prob?
Posted by rockygali
hey guys! have any of you noticed the "REMOTE SCREEN" option while viewing images using the current firmware R1CA021?
is this new? or just call dumb! please???
Posted by Vipera ammodytes
@rocygali it's a old feature:-)
Posted by girish_uce
R1BC has the remote screen option. Dunno about the prev versions. But couldn't figure out its use. The bluetooth application on my desktop said a remote system connected to the imaging service. But it ended there. No further screens or any prompts.

you have two ways now. first - delete DB folder in Program files/Sony Ericsson/Update and re-update again. Swedish will appear, if no - then master reset. Luck!
second - service center. Choose.

I'm not able to decide whether to upgrade my K750i from R1BC002 to R1CA021 . Except for the deteoration in video playback quality, I don't have much complaints from my current version. I don't see any remarkable improvements in camera quality in R1CA021 from the pics rockygali posted. SOmeone pls help me decide.
Posted by mb-new
remote screen is to show pictures on external TV using bluetooth device like mmv-100 or mmv-200
if you connect remote screen on your PC, than a pciture just is being transfered to Bluetooth exchange folder
Posted by girish_uce
Thanks for the clarification
Posted by athos
Vicser> Tried to remove db folder and reflash. No change. Tried to flash with SIM in (if, for some reason it reads country settings from it), no change. I think I got the choice of firmware version once before, but there was only choice. This choise was EUROPE_4 or EURO_4 or something similar which seemed right.
Posted by girish_uce
Looking at the pics and reviews, I don't think I'm too keen to upgrade to R1CA021. Thanks to rockygali for the post detailing out the pic and quality in the K750 pics and videos thread.
If anyone begs to differ from my viewpoint, you are most welcome. I'm too eager to get a reason to upgrade

well.. i'd updated my firmware this morning, and guess what... just my point of view, overall is ok, Menu scrolling is smoother (enter and exit) ..the big dissapointment was.. i found that the camera has a lot of noise compare to the R1BC... probably the light condition.. i guess.. just see this ..
The Red part in the Original thing doesn't look like this.. its red and shiny(since its made of plastick) .. what's your opinion guys?
