At SE they are not just playing around all day, actually they are pushing new FW's all the time. I heard of R2AA001, which in turn means that they have looped the alphabet, and are on double letters (like Excel) |

hi, i've a simlockfree k700i.
how i read in the phone's manual something about a option called "MyFriends" i can't find it any where.
And i'm shure it's missing.
Will i get the option "MyFriends" when i update to the most recent Firmware? Cause i realy like to use this feature to keep in touch with my msn contacts.
Thanks |

have you tried looking for "my friends" under Messaging ? You should be able to find it there, If not then I suggest taking it to an  service center.
 forever Read the FAQ before u post a new topic.. 8810->6150->3310->t68i->t610->t630->k700i  |

Thanks for that - i'll add them. Mind you, i'm not sure what "Line 1/2 indicator in top line of display" means! Any clarification would be great!
@MaDnEzZ
The preview has been there since R1A ... or at least it is on my R1A phone. Perhaps it has changed slightly?

I'm 110% positive there is no 'MyFriends' in any menu on my phone, nor in the main menu. nor under the option messaging.

hi guys. i was informed by a SE service center in the philippines that a "new/updated" R2L has been released. they were able to download this updated R2L from sony ericsson just 2 days ago. i don't know what they meant by "updated" or how they were able to distinguish this from the old R2L. any of you guys heard about this updated R2L? |

hi. i am jst wandernig WHEN VODAFONE will allow users to update their firmware on te sony erricson site. currently , they not, (V ANNOYINGG) but i have a feeling they will. could anyone tell me when vodafone will allow firmware update access on the net? and also, will this updating service work with unlocked phones?
please someone tell me! i need to know, because if it works, i can buy that dss sync desk stand to connect the phone up.
i had it with the bugs of the phone. p**ses me off. i cant update it, and get rid of vodafone altogether in the voda shop because they found out i unlocked it (i told them accidently, they would know n e way, right???) and it would cost 40 pounds anyway cos i havent got warrenty.
tell me please! thank you
yours truly.....

just a few things i noticed about r2l besides the ones already mentioned:
-gif/animated images are sync to a slower fps, rather than speeding up the animations previously
-main menu icon switch animations are faster and smoother, last time used to be able to see pixelated images when the icon is enlarged
-mark several included in messages function
-image browsing is faster if there's no image which resolution is set to be bigger than the phone, or no extended image picture
-setup wizard has tips on the back and cancel key
-in standby mode if u have missed call it will show the missed call icon together with the time when u press volume key

A question about contacts.
If there is only one phone number for a contact, is it possible to change it to mobile instead of home? I didn't find this... FW version R2L. |

I have had a K700i with orange UK for a couple of weeks now. It's running firmware R2C001. Is this currently the newest version available with orange? If not is it worth upgrading to a newer version what would be the benefits? |
