I think my phone has lots of bugs on it.
Is this a really old version?
Also when i try the update service it says there is no update available!
Mine is a 'sim free' version by the way.
@jazzyc, The version you have on the phone is the one with lots of issues. However at present there is no way of updating the software to R1CA037, You will just have to be patient at the moment, sorry.
Im of to speak to a service center tomorrow, so will try to find out something and let you all know |

You are a star !!
I am on the point tomorrow of taking my 2nd one back to try and order a 3rd... contact syncing is useless on this one and I cannot enter any appointments into my calendar.
1st one was fine in this respect. |

No as I don't want to loose all the apps, themes and sounds etc that came pre-installed. Only some can be copied as most are protected.
Running a Mac so SESU won't help me out.
Unless there is another way  |

Besides fixing the file structure and the flash problem, the other problems (of which there are many) are all still present on the revised firmware.
I expect this is why the revision is so minor. I am looking forward to a proper update, like R2A or something!

I agree. R1CA037 sounds like an insignificant update. There are several major software issues that need resolving.

You can check it via your phone update service option at Settings, it's named Software version. |

The Reason why you currently cant update is due to the fact the there isnt any firmwares on the SE website, So when you connected you phone does beleive that you already have the latest firmware. Sorry |

Now I have just found out a little more info regarding the K850i firmware.
There was supposed to be a firmware release today 9.11.07 on the SEUS at 9.00am, however that seems to have now been delayed, currenlty not sure why and when i spoke to the service center, they were also unsure why but was told that it hasnt now been put on there.
The firmware release i was told wasnt a major release, just a release to resolve several issues for the time being.
Now when i get more info or can find more out i will let you know. The info is patchy at the moment so its not easy to find out.
** However it might be worth a try to see if the SEUS has a new version on there ** You never know !!

I'm not quite sure what difference this makes, but now when I go to update service, instead of getting the usual 'you have the latest firmware' message, I'm getting a new one, 'unable to download update'.
Edit: OK nevermind, it's gone back to saying I have the latest version now. I've had the phone for a few weeks and thought it was great but the bugs are really starting to shine through now:
Resetting itself randomly quite a lot.
Displaying an 'operation failed' message when trying to access messages (only solved by a master reset).
Nothing that's preventing me using the phone, but it is a real pain.
