Just received my "3" UK K800i back from Sony repair center and they have loaded the new "3" firmware version R1EJ001.
Looks like the first page of the thread needs updating.

This has been mentioned before, but SEUS is not offering this update yet, so the first page is correct.
I will check my wife's K800 on 3-UK later to see if this update is available yet, it has been for the K610 on 3-UK for a long, long time now. |

My silver K800 came with the R1J, but I wanted to get rid of the James Bond content and reflashed via davinciteam. The latest that they have is R1E so I settled with that. I'm only interested in the camera improvements, so if it's not broken, don't fix it.

damn you and your updates. I'm still on the original firmware. 3 Australia isn't allowing updates of their phone's yet. Their official response to me was 'We aren't allowed to release any information on this topic'.
So feel lucky that you were able to update the firmware on your phone...
|

Then you should really consider using Wotan or DaVinci to update your phone to an unbranded firmware and CDA. I myself hate branding.
|
|
Please note: If you remove 3's branding some services will not work as you will no longer have their certificates in the phone. I believe the free MSN messenger client on 3-UK for example will not run on an unbranded phone. |

Aha, I see now. R1EJ, R1EG, R1GB...For K800i, SE releases so many variations. We won't never know which firmware will be finally out on SEUS server. Seeing the improvements, it's likely that R1GB001 is the one. But Wotan doesn't have it yet..or it does now? It means, it's another long wait then..usually SEUS update comes months after Wotan release. Hm, I don't know their thought pattern anyway... |

Latest finding on R1ED001:
Very occassional---I have a mixed-up language. Sometimes on the menu title I have Filipino instead of Bhs. Indonesia along with strange code initiated with R26: 3564 or R20:6854 or the like. Yet, as I navigate back, this weirdness is gone. I don't know how to reproduce it intentionally. Mine is APAC.

yeah i've encountered that aswell.... just pops up...
|

I encountered the same problem, i'm currently using R1ED001. My friend's phone is using R1EJ001, problem is not yet fixed.

Hey Aremaboy. I can understand your annoyance but the fact is, the k800i in phone years is a bit old. SE is probably, and rightfully so, concerned not with an old phone but with the new models and the with the competition. With the coming release of the Apple iPhone (name not official yet), SE will have a real competitor on its hand. We may see one more F/W release for the k800i but I would not bet on it. This is standard fair. 3 or 4 F/W releases and then move on. Sorry my friend but the k800i is old news. I am unloading mine as soon as the iPhone comes out.
*edited on a Mac of course. Mac: There is no substitute*
N82(YES), iPhone 3G, Shure es530, Nikon D300, more stuff. No more SE stuff, why am I still here? |

I don't mind no more firmware as long as it is 99.99% bugfree. There are still some issues with R1ED so I hope SEUS will not stop there! |
