Well, tonight my wife was driving so I can monitor the k800 signal. My conclusion is that it will choose 3g (ahead of 2g) if 3g signal strength is 3 bars or more.
If however, you are already browsing the wap/net/video-call using 3g, the phone will try to keep 3g as long as it can (1-2 bars still OK) and only switch to 2g when the signal is completely lost.
Well it is not as bad as I first think, and indeed navigation seems a tad faster in R1GB! Cheers!

Other finding on R1GB001:
Very very occassionaly the phone is unable to display the 'green balls of volume' when you press the volume key on the right side of the phone. When you are playing music via Media Player or File Manager, then trying to turn up or down the volume, the phone works normal as intended, BUT very very occassionally fails to display the volume status. It has happened twice on my phone. The only solution to get it back is by restarting the phone. I still don't know how to reproduce this malfunction intentionally, as it is highly intermittent. For most days, this never happens at all.
And about the 'R26:5432' bug or the like seems gone already. It's been 5 days and I didn't encounter it even once.
EDIT: I was wrong. The Rxx:xxxx bug is NOT gone. I just encountered it just now...
Next finding:
The phone has a bug in relation to theme. The phone is now unable to display color correctly, especially in Pop Up image. If you make a theme, and you DON'T insert any image to Pop Up element--it means that you just use the color Theme Creator offers--you will not get the color you want. The color displayed on your phone IS ALWAYS the same as the color on Background part of the Theme Creator. If say, e.g, you put green as Background, then on Pop Up you put yellow, then it's OK on the preview of Theme Creator. BUT, on your phone, you will have green pop up color instead of yellow. This bug doesn't occur if you INSERT an image in it. Believe me, it's NOT the bug of the latest Theme Creator 3.06. My old themes suffering from this bug were even created months ago by using older version of Theme Creator, and they DID display normally on previous firmware. I'll learn this more and post the sample theme later as I'm on Opera Mini now. I invite expert theme makers to prove this. And, correct me if I'm wrong.

Same as Bob,
It seems this is the latest firmware for O2.
Have you found any issues?
An issue I have is I cant send multiple texts on the O2 3G Pay & Go service. You can on contract but not on Pay & Go when using the network setting "3G & GSM" in networks under connectivity.
I think this is more of an O2 3G Pay & Go system issue though rather than a firmware issue.
A complete headache. |

Well, I am beginning to think that this may be a combination of R3A011 EROM and firmware rather than just a firmware error. When I am on R3A016 I haven't encounter it after few days usage. Well I only on R1GB for 2 days so let's see what happen.
On my wife Z610 R1ED and R3A016 I encounter it once in three months. Seems that R3A011 is more prone to this error than R3A016. Well, that is just my thinking anyway. Problem with this error is it will be difficult to prove it to SE as this error happen once in a while.  But many ppl report this error already so we may write email to SE support. |

Haven't enmcountered this error since I got on R1GB001 last January 3, 2007. Also, my battery life seemed to improve. I used to charge every 2 1/2 days and it has been 4 1/2 days since my last charge but I am still at 43%. Hooray!  |

How many people will have their k800i's longer than 3 to 6 months?
*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? |

Hi all, I just want to ask whether 3gp high quality qualify as high quality mpeg4 that can introduce delay in R1GB? I put few hundred MBs of highq quality 3gp and my phone crawl as soon as I enter the folder. It took 10 mins before my phone can recover and back at standby! I am force to format the M2 card at this moment! |

What seems quite comic to me is the fact that I have k800i T-Mobile branded, bought in Czech rep. It has R1CB001 (with that lovely radio whistling), and now, 8.1.2007, SEUS says its most recent version of FW. It seems that only way to go for me is Wotan, but i dont want to lose warranty... is there any way to get branded FW back to the phone later?

I bet SE will 'dismiss' the preview thumbnail feature in the (maybe) upcoming firmware update. It takes too much RAM, (what's the term? The internal memory system) just to preview the megabytes of video. Hm, why didn't they check this before? So, let's not put megabytes video. Just put short video clips under megabytes maybe.. |

I still got 61MB free phone memory and each video is just around 40MB. I did put around 8-9 of those videos in one folder. Wow, R1GB just huff and puff trying to do video preview or whatever it tries to do. The clock in my phone stop for 4 min. I am tempted to took the batt out but I am afraid of WSOD (even though I got R3A016). In the end I just let the phone do whatever it want to do while pressing 'previous' button several time. 10 mins after that my phone back to standby mode! Scarry!
Do you think if I put each video in its own folder can prevent this from happen? |
