You can't seriously believe what you just said can you? it's OK to release a flagship devcie with loads of faults and expect your users to pay a premium price and then wait 4 months odd while you get round to fixing it after there complaints tell you what needs fixing. Has the the concept of Beta Testing prior to release suddenly no longer become necessary? SE should hide in shame and embarrassment at how they realeased this devcie and treated there users for the last 4 months and even still now. If this is how they continue to release devcies and then treat their users they really are going down fast and hard.

Probably due to the music you listen too 
eg. Kanya West distorts badly for me using Megabass. I now use the Bass setting.
On my K750i Megabass worked well even for really heavy bass music.
Nope i don't think so. i listen to brand new disco songs with lots of loudness and bass and have no problem. Maybe you thought i only listened to recording from the late 40:s with Frank Sinatra?  |

I know that you already have R1DA038 on your K850i. Please tell me about the battery. The firmware update did affect the standby time or not? My K850i with R1CA037 lasts 2 days when I am on the 3G+ network and in this 2 days I used it for 3 hours and 30 minutes surfing on wap and playing with it. It is very good for my standards. It is better than my K800i. Do you think the firmware update has affect the energy cobsumtion on your handset?
Thank you! |

@vbayma. Something i found.
Generaly though all SE firmwares take aprrox 4 weeks from start to finish to be placed onto the SEUS server. However some times they can take longer.
@negrescumari
I have noticed about a 2-3 hour drop probally in usage. I dont get a 3g network where i live so i have to make do with Edge or GPRS, However i leave 3g network function on if so to find it if im out and about.
However I do on average send 50-100 sms aday, a couple of mms, about 1 hour of wap and game usage, 1-2 emails and Web feeds about 4 times aday.
My phone was charged to 100% last night and my current battery usage after today is 68% which i did make a 15 min call as well as the other stuff above this morning.
Oh and i have took 2 pics with flash and a 20 second video too.
Yesterday before i charged the phone, I had sent 162 sms, but no phone calls or emails. did use wap for about a hour and played crazy golf for 20 mins. Used web feeds again 4 times during the day. Phone was at 44% and when i went to charge it it was at 14%.
Hope the above helps

@Dogmann ... I'm not sure I'd say it's OK to do it or not, but I think that's what they've done - I think it was the same when I got my w800i
The process is probably quicker than beta testing - and yeah, I'd still pay a premium for it to get it sooner, knowing it has software probs that can be fixed - If it had hardware probs (which some people have had) then that's wrong... and yeah they should have been a bit more transparent and told people that the software might not be top notch yet and let people decide - but then microsoft et al don't! |

i guys i have bought my k850i last sunday. and i have a question regarding the contact. i have set my contact to sort using "last name" so If i have a contact name "John Doe" and "John Mark Doe" it would display in the contacts as follows:
Doe, John
Doe, John Mark
my problem is when i try to call "Doe, John Mark". It will show that i am trying to call "Mark Doe, John"
my phone fw is R1CA037 unbranded.

Guys, from what you are saying, seems that they have overclocked a bit or left more processes in the ram. That could explain faster draining of the batt?
@darrengf, have you tried to benchmark it with the new fw? |

Maybe they overclocked some processes....But i suspect that this is a mistake...The same had appeared in some firmware versions of other models:e.g. K700i and they correct it.
Guys,i have a question:how can they make faster the phone?Do they write the statements in the code of its operating system a bit different so they can be executed more efficiently?Or do they overclock the processor?And if they overclock the processor how can the phone consumes less power?(not exactly this phone,but in general-as we saw the battery life of K700,K750 and K800 has increased with the software updates whereas the phones performed a lot faster)
