That is the first time here I heard something that adds to a suspicion that I have regarding the BT operation between the K750i and a pc with a bt 1.1/1.2 dongle...
Wilst the k750i BT 2.0 is backward compatible I am willing to bet the phone freaks out from time to time with "inferior" BT protocols...
This I havent tested yet but I soon will when I get my hands on a BT 2.0 dongle...
About your T1Q055 I bet we will never get anyother f/w revision via SEUS that they dont want to release...
I have contacted SE and O2 extensivle and O2 for the most party seem to be unaware of any other f/w releases by SEUS...
I wish I had never bought my K750i now I should have holded until they stop fitting it out with our freakin money....

Actually its the other way around. The attached device disconnects because the K750i keeps poling for EDR (Enhanced Data Rate)

T is test firmware and R is release firmware. I actually test Bluetooth & WiFi devices for a living so @ work I get to play with all lots of devices. BTW, we've brought some 3,000 K750i's so far, and have about 9,000 on option.

You're not connecting to the right people at O2! I have (@ work) contacts for all major UK networks. I can't hand out phone numbers, sorry.
What BT dongle are you using? We should have examples @ work of every BT device sold in the UK so I could do a BT sys-test between some K750i's and your dongle, if that would help.

@ The Cheesecake
Any idea on release date for R1Q - and any other fixes that will be included.
Called O2 2day who suggested I contact SE about a new FW (R1L+) as they would be most likely to know when it was coming out. Oh how naive.

I am sure the morons that answer the phone on O2 are the wrong people but I am unaware that these companies actually have any right people that common mortals like myself can speak to or even email....
Heck I known If I were one of them (I am at my job) wouldn want to deal with a lot of grief form the people that for better or worst actually pay the wages.... I have the choice and good service with a smile is part of the package.... Nothing like a bit of tongue and cheek...
Well if you wanna try something at your work try this...
Start the Media player on the K750i and have BT enabled on the phone.... (I use the Belkin BT dongle F8T008uk) Now send a file via BT to your K750i wilst playing that song on media player.... It doesnt matter if its the windowns drivers for the dongle or the latest from belkin....
Post the results....
I have tested with several K750i same results all the time...

I dont agree since in my experience the device or devices remain connected.
And if the K750i like you say keeps polling for EDR than it shouldnt, not when the device(s) are not compatible... And actually the devices should really ignore this polling....
But in reality has I say I have no experince in this...
What the point of being backward compatible when you keep insisting on talking in a incompreensible "tongue"...
on the T and R subject....
Read again...
I bet we will never get anyother f/w revision via SEUS that they dont want to release...
I am happy that you get such a great job satisfaction but none of the 3000 k750i or the other 9000 on option can really cure the annoying list of bugs they contain...
One thing is for sure it doesnt help me... what would is the test I suggested and the results... heck the cure is a f/w that fixes the issues with bt and sw...

Can't update my firmware on an Unbranded K750i (the black one) I have Vodafone SE as Operator.
This is the error I get on SE update. (In swedish sorry!)
"Din enhet får inte använda den här tjänsten
Din operatör medger inte att du använder tjänsten för denna enhet.
Vi ser fram emot att få hjälpa dig snart igen.
Tack för att du använde Sony Ericssons uppdateringstjänst! "
Roughly it says that my operator doesnt not allow me to use the SE update service.

The problem when buying a black, unlocked K750i with original SE firmware from Vodafone stores is that even though the phone appears to be just as you bought it across the street it isn't. The phone has some items locked (like GPRS settings) and the CDA is blocked at SEUS.
Please confirm what I write by doing a test. Open the service menu (press joystick once to the right, press *, press joystick twice to the left, press *, press joystick once to the left, press *). Now, select "Serviceinfo", then select "Programinfo", scroll to the bottom of the window and check what CDA number you have (the numbers that comes after CDA). Please post the result here. If your phone is allowed to be used at SEUS, then the CDA should say CDA102337/12 (since you're from Sweden running Europe_4 firmware).
Please post the result. If the numbers are correct, then there is some temporary problem at SEUS. If the numbers differ, then the phone is blocked by Vodafone even though it's bought totaly unlocked/unbranded. |

Okay, will test a few K750i's against various Belkin BT adaptors tonight, when I get to work.
The reason why I've got test firmware to play with is because we brought matching HBH-662 BT headsets to go with each K750i ordered. And they don't work correctly with the K750i. So as I test BT devices,  Sweden supplied us with test firmware that could go to release firmware later on.
HBH-662 is a BT 1.2 device. Strangely enough the HBH-608 headsets we were sent to test were also BT 1.2, yet they seem to work fine.
Leviath, I can tell you're upset by the whole issue and I'm well p*ssed off myself by having to recall thousands of BT headsets to replace them with others. I'm trying to help - honest - but my way with words isn't always the best way of putting things across!

Then it's just a temporary problem with SEUS and not a problem with your phone  |

I just connected my k750i via USB after upgrading and now it is reconized as a W800 and I needed to download the W800 USB-drivers in order to access the memorystick?! Anyone else have this problem?
And now if I try to update again I get a message saying that my operator dosn't support my phone - It is unbranded and I have updated several times before!
