Updated my phone today and the only problem I've found is that the themes don't display properly. Anyone else had this happen? The bars across the top and bottom of the standby screen display the picture from the background behind the menu, rather than displaying the top and bottom bars of the standby screen background. This is quite irritating as it means all my themes look ridiculous. Anybody have an idea about how to fix this? |

I just do not understand why my K700i on Orange will not update. It makes absolutely no sense. I am currently running R2AC and have been trying to update almost every day for the past 2 weeks, but it still says my device is not permitted to use the service!
I have tried everything. I even just tried a master reset of the phone, but nothing works! It's really annoying me now. |

Sebb, it must be to do with us both running R2AC. MAybe Orange implemented something in this version to stop us updating? |

If you have the correct cable try updating your firmware with Setool, its free afterall (previous customers).
Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES

@ richardadc
Yep, I agree. Well I would have yesterday, except I now know of a couple of Orange users who were running R2AC and have now updated successfully using the SEUS.
@ gbrooks3
As you know, I've ordered a T28 service cable, so I'm going to clear all customisation (with your help  ) and hopefully then I can use the service! |

Grrrr.
I've just updated my friend's K700i on Orange using the SEUS successfully to R2AE. It was running R2L. However, mine, which is currently running R2AC, will still not update!
I have contacted SE, and I think they may have finally listened to me. I told them that I know for a fact that it's a problem with any K700i that has R2AC. Today, they asked for my software details so they can look into it. Fingers crossed! |

What is the web address for this SEUS, I don't know how to get there, now my friend has a P910, I can borrow his DSS-25, I am also looking for one in the market.
So the address?
I still have the bloody R2C001
and camera 3.9.
I got my K700i in August last year, so I still have the ancient one!

Go to sonyericsson.com, click the "support" tab, choose your country, type in K700i in the "product name" box, select the phone the under "matching products" list, then amongst all the links, you should see one for "Sony Ericsson Update Service".

Further to my post the other day, Sony Ericsson asked for my software details to investigate the problem that I had informed them about, regarding Orange-branded K700i handsets with R2AC not updating.
Today, I received a reply saying that they have verified that the SEUS is working correctly. I have just sent back a strong email basically spelling it out that I know for a fact that it isn't, and providing some evidence.
This is getting ridiculous! The T28 service cable that I ordered should be arriving soon. Unbranding is looking more and more desirable!

Okay, another update.
After telling Sony Ericsson that there is definitely a problem with Orange-branded K700i handsets that have R2AC, they have asked for my SEUS log file. It's looking a bit more hopeful. In a couple of days, the SEUS may be working for us poor Orange users... |
