My friend has just got a K700i on voda and he hasnt been able to do anything with it at all. The phone seems to freeze after approx 10 seconds and he has to remove the battery to restart it.
He is able to navigate the menu and use the phone normally for about 10 seconds before the phone completely locks up.
Has anyone else experienced this or has he got a unique phone on his hands.
Any suggestions welcomed.

I have had the same problem. My K700 freezes after 10 seconds. But that is with a new SIM-card (from Telia) that I got. I use my old and a new, wanted to have two numbers. But the new card dont work at all in my K700. I can move around i menus for about 10 sec, then in totally freeze.
My old SIM- from 1997 works like a rock!

I discovered today one empty contact. I will check to see if i have more contacts missing. My bluetooth freezes sometimes and i am not sure if my bluetooth headset's damage has something to do with the phone. I have the motorola 810 and suddenly lost connection and can't be paired again by any other phone i tried. |

Hi
Mine does the same with regards to losing the clock in standby!
No fix found for that yet :S
Cheers

wow.. i haven't posted in awhile.. seems a lot of people have been having problems. i just read through this whole thread and here are some of my comments...
as far as battery life, i'm very happy with it. i listened to the radio on a 4hr train ride the entire time and it only used the first 2 slivers of the battery. also had 2 phonecalls during that trip as well. with normal use i get about 2-3 days and I use it for radio, mp3, video playback, camera, bluetooth and lots of phone calls  (gotta make the women feel like they're wanted u know  )
phone book problems .. i had none .
bluetooth restarting.. hasn't happened to me. my phone hasnt restarted at all .. i had the freezing problem before and i posted a solution to that.
it seems to me most of the people having problems in this thread are not really researching the problems before they report them.. or they're assuming it s a problem when it actually isn't and its just the way the phone was made in which case if you don't like it, they don't buy it. also, i noticed many of you got branded phones so that may be a cause for some of your problems as well. mine is an HK import, unbranded, unlocked and i use it exclusively and have had no really bothersome or troubling problems whatsoever.
I do have a question to see if anyone else has experiened this.. im not sure if its the way SE intended it or not .. anyways i have set my phone light to automatic so that the clock screen saver comes up after a short period of timeor when the keylock is turned on. I notice that sometimes the screensaver will just go away and it will return to the standby screen and stay there with the backlight turned off. I know my other SE phones would always stay in the clock screensaver until I pressed something so i noticed this. it's not a real huge issue .. comments are welcome

Hi guys (and Girls if any),
I got the K700i on Voda in the UK for 5days now. Here's my findings:
Battery seems ok-ish I get 2-3days worth if I dont use it excessively.
MP3 sounds that I got with the phone can NOT be used as ring-tones - is this normal, do you have the same problem? Neither can I use any MP3's that I load myself, except listen to them which is ok for a mp3 player I suppose.
I have the same problem as some other members with the clock dissappearing when in standby and the phone just giving a blank screen.
Holding in the back button does not lock the keypad.
I cannot disable the bloody internet button - this sucks...
Bluetooth sometimes locks and I cannot switch it off - thus far I find it integrates rather well with FMA (Floats Media Agent) allthough I still would like a software app that links directly to my calender as I hate outlook.
No sticky #2 key (yet).
Apparently the cover at the bottom can be removed if you open-up the phone - not there yet, still trying to keep all the seals in-tact incase I need to have it replaced.
Vodafone software absolutely sucks, cannot edit or delete loads of stuff and some vodafone menu's refer to the K700 as a T610!!!
Thats it thus far - let me know if you know about new firmware and where to get it asap in the UK!
Cheers

fyford, pretty much everything you've listed is down to Voda Live customisations. they've completely castrated the handset 
your best course of action would be to take it back and move to O2 or Orange, where you'll get a fully featured handset... this advice goes out to everyone who was unfortunate enough to buy their phone on Vodafone...
my Orange handset has everything it should, bar the option to customise the shortcuts (doubt they intentionally left this out though...) |

There is a separate thread describing the MP3 problem on VF phones. As the guy above said, buy an unbranded K700. Once the operators start messing with the FW everything seem to become fu*cked up.

As long the problems arenīt hardware and there are firmware updates no problem
First firmware versions are always crap - T610 was horrible in R1A and only R1L (the second firmware version in Portugal) was steady. But the "real" good firmware was R3C (and then R4B tuned a little more). The second firmware (should be out within a month or two) should eliminate most the problems.
@friends-with-K700-from-VF:
My T610 was from VF and I promised myself that I would NEVER buy another terminal from VF until they stop F*cking mobiles!!! I bought a Terminator and flashed my T610 with original software => MILES AWAY BETTER... trust me... MILES, AND MILES, AND MILES, AND MILES!!! I can assure you that your mobile is, at least, 15-25% blocked (let me guess... horrible menus, functions missing, functions limited, less memory, lots of stuff that canīt be deleted...)

problem number 489: when you scroll down to the bottom of a text the reply key turns into "call" and scrolling up doesn't get rid of it.
490: you can't post a note from the right soft key menu. and when you do eventually post one you then have to press more and show in desktop or whatever.

I'm sorry to say I too am getting disappearing phone numbers!
I have a theory but haven't tested it yet. I think it may be when I create a new number for a contact and then lookup the number from an existing contact. This is done to bring all the numbers for one person into one contact. When the original contact is deleted (the one which I copied the number from) the number then disappears from the new contact. Like I say this is still a theory and I haven't had a chance to test it but it makes sense.
Any thoughts on my theory? |
