My friends K750i has cracked-setool f/w in it. SEUS always says 'no update available. You have the latest firmware installed' and there's only one option to go back to start.
But, with 'intact' SE firmware, it says 'update your phone now' along with customisation file to match your phone. If you want to re-update the phone, like my old K750, it says 'update isn't needed. You have the latest f/w. Continue anyway?'
This 'continue anyway' option is available for genuine SE.. |

Just follow SEUS instructions carefully, step by step. There are a lot of threads discussing it here. Please, google a little..good luck. |

New bug in R1CB001
It is to do with daylight savings in Perth, Western Australia. It won't affect many people I'm sure.
WA just recently passed a law to implement daylight savings in WA.
If I goto time settings and select daylight savings it changes my current time to the correct time (an hour ahead).
BUT, at an unknown period of time later it will revert back to standard time.
I know its not my provider sending me time updates as I have disabled this to troubleshoot the problem. Plus when it has offered time updates, it offerrs the correct time.
I realise if I change the time manually it will probably stay that way...
Someone in WA might be able to confirm this? |

Haven't been on Esato for a while. I'm astounded to see that the firmware revision for an unbranded K800i is still R1CB001. Thank goodness for Wotan and other groups like that. Why on earth would SE be withholding the latest firmware to that group of users? You would normally expect the unbranded handset to get the upgrade first.

Hi,
I've had my K800i replaced, the previous one refused to start up and had a distinct smell of burning in the battery compartment (!).
I've a couple of quick questions with the new one, hope someone can help.
- How do I reassign the 'world' key (the small one just between the 'back' button and the left select button), I recall on my old phone I stopped it launching the browser, but can't find out how I did it. It's not an option in the 'shortcuts' menu any longer that I can see.
- When I connect my phone to my PC, I get the 'File' and 'PC Connection' icons to select from but I also get something about printing. I don't remember this before??

The key calls the page specified as start page in your web browser. You can either assign another page from the bookmarks menu, or go options/communication/internet/internet profiles/, select your profile and Menu/advanced/change start page

That is a new feature that was introduced in one of the newest firmware versions. Your new phone probably has a newer firmware version than your old one had. The option is for printouts directly from the phone to a printer that supports this feature (PictBridge) |

I've found that in a german site:
R1EG001 changelog for k800i:
* Storage of photos takes place faster
* New: Installationswizard for Internet settings
* Internet key starts adjusted homepage
* Phone Book ADDRESS of profiles (PBAP) v1.0 implemented
* performance improves
* caller identification bug fixed
I can't verify that, because I have R1ED001...
I've also read that the newest version is R1EL002.. no changelog for that..
