I've got k700 in October and imediately after some bugs changed firmware from R2A041 to R2Y005. Now all is working good, bat. life is better at least 40%.
Now it appears small problem, when is video on, or fhoto or in camera mode, screen becomes (little) dim after 15 sec. (like first step power saving dim in menu after 15 sec). But when is some gif animation on, it stays bright all time).
Anybody noticed same problem, or have explanation? Thanks. |

The light dims so the screen consumes less battery. I hate it for one.
This could be solved by adding another two options in the display > light: Always on - Dim, and Automatic - Dim.

k-700 R2Y005 Firmware
Tried everything - always light on, automatic... Video dims after 15 secs. It must be software bug because gif image always stays bright on screen - no dim.
Oh, and another bug: When keysound on, during typing, occasionally, ther's heard cracklin' sound from speakerphone (In Service Centre they told me its normal for most SE phones (!) - like: "membrana gets sometimes impuls from chip" (!!) - I think its bugy software again).

Hi all, I purchased recently a K700i which is Orange' branded here in Switzerland, and I was wondering if it's possible to update it, given I heard rumors that it could not be possible.
HELP, battery is bad, and I hate these Orange' settings.
How can I get rid of these? |

Welcome... You can try to use official SE update service from K700i support page which will update your software to latest version. Not sure it will work because of some problems. If you want to debrand your phone from Orange stuff you will need to ask official SE service center, but probably they won't do it. Then you have to use unofficial solution for which you need T28 service cable, online logger and some credits. Please search this forum for more info on this or PM me and I can try to help. HTH, Vee

I now have the R2L installed. Apart from the observations written in the OP I salso found that:
- selection bar (indicating which option in a menu you are about to choose) is now much bigger, too big in fact, ugly,
- there's a shortcut to "Sony Fun" where the shortcut to WAP used to be (upper left), just like with the z500. I can live with that but in a lot ofother menus (pictures, sounds, themes) there's also one or two shortcuts sending you online to SE or Sony Fun. What sh*t is that! And you can't get rid of them.
If it weren't for the bold dates in the calendar and the still improved battery life...
Shame! Shame! If we want menus that drive us online even by error we'll buy a branded SE.

Found my first bug in R2AA003. While talking to someone, the phone just restarted itself without any reason (just talking, not using any other aplication or speaker). Anyone notice the same problem with this software ???
Alcatel One Touch Easy -> Alcatel One Touch View -> Nokia 6110 -> Nokia 7110 -> Nokia 8210 -> Sony Ericsson T68i -> Sony Ericsson p800 (still having it) -> Sony Ericsson T610 -> Sony Ericsson K700i -> Sony Ericsson S700i -> Sony Ericsson ?????? |

Hi. Just found a really obscure bug in R2L. Would appreciate any comments in case it's me. I have Line 1 and Line 2 enabled on the Orange UK network. When using the normal profile, I change to Line 2. I then select any other profile which is set to use Line 1. The phone changes profile and selects Line 1. When I change back to the Normal profile, the phone selects Line 2 (as this was selected previoulsy), but then diverts all Line 2 calls to the last number they were diverted to. If no number is available it diverts calls to voicemail. I then have to switch off the divert manually! Same thing happens if I have a profile set to use Line 2. When selecting that profile all Line 2 calls get diverted. I have tried changing the Divert Calls setting within each profile, but it always says Divert On, even if the network states that it is deactivated. Very weird and annoying. |

Another bug(?) - withheld/private number calls that are answered/received are not included in the answered calls list. I am quite puzzled as to why this is when missed calls with withheld numbers are included in the missed calls list... |
