What I know PS is Packet Service, meaning GPRS, which charges you for each kilobyte you use, while CS is Circuit Switched, meaning it charges for how long you use internet. PS is using IP address while CS dial up number. PS is faster than CS and in some cases is cheaper. Correct me if I'm wrong.

If you have activated 3g for your sim card, always use 2g and 3g. If not choose 2g so the phone will not try to find 3g signal and waste batt power. When available, 3g is faster than plain gprs. Check the 3g icon next to signal strength icon. If it is there then you get 3g signal. |

Hi, I tried to upgrade my EROM via Wotanserver just now. The credits left are still 10, and Wotan detected my phone CID 51 just fine...it said that my EROM is way too old...I followed the instruction, pressing 2 and 5 together...and it started to update mine. Yet, it said that EROM: Upgrade header failed or something. It showed FAILED. Have tried 10 times with the same result. Can anyone help? I did so because my mate offered me his Wotan Credits...what's wrong? Is it because of CID 51 EROM?
Anyway, my phone's EROM is still R3A011...

Just updated via SEUS and have the same problem with the backlight not coming back on when pressing keys.
In addition to this, when viewing photos, the 3mp symbol and zoom level icon are floating in the middle of the picture
Generic orange firmware, the one with G in it
EDIT: the led/illumination test doesn't work. When you switch the phone on it works, but when the light switches off, it doesn't come back on again. flash works though
EDIT2: When it fades out, it switches off. Leave it for a bit and it comes back on, but not at full intensity, shows the screensaver then switches off again. This is straaaange

OK, I finally cancel updating my EROM via a mate's Wotan account. I don't want to ruin my phone. The only reason why I tried it was just he had many credits left--and he said it was free just to update EROM, but NOT to flash. I ran SEUS again just now to check whether my K800i was still recognised by SEUS after my failed attempt. Alhamdulillah, all is just fine. I didn't click Continue Anyway option..what's for?
To others with 67% update status, then it went back to START, I'm afraid to say that SEUS only updated yours partially. The failure of keypad light shows that some f/w files are just missing. Try to fix it in SE Service Centre. Good luck. |

looks like it could be a problem with the orange firmware itself (67% failure, light problem, on orange too) i.e. someone hasnt put it on SEUS properly |

For all those who question WOTAN SERVER....or....SEUS
Had an unfortunate experience with FW R1ED001 where it locks you out of GAMES/APPLICATIONS folder saying "OPERATION FAILED". Tried updating via SEUS but besides updating FW to R1GB001 SEUS also changed my phone to CID51 from CID49 without any warning of that change, before starting upgrade.
And of course, SEUS didn't resolve "OPERATION FAILED" message with that update. Contacting directly SE technical department didnot help either since they had no knowledge of such an issue so:
1.NO they don't spend time reading these forums
2.they are full of sh** saying that they don't know of common bugs in FW
3.Use SEUS update service only IF you really have to(there won't ever be a major UPGRADE of FW that will make huge difference in phone performance)
4.Don't bother sending phone for repair Unless it's free of ALL charges (shipping and labour)
Solution:
1.Purchase wotanserver credit (it will cost you less than shipping phone to SE service center and down time while your phone is being fixed)
2.Download LATEST client from them BEFORE you start anything
3.Remove SIM and MEMORY STICK + CHARGE THAT BATTERY!
4.DON'T use your computer for anything else while you're flashing the phone (flashing takes no longer than 10minutes!!)
5.Change Language pack as you want but leave other settings at DEFAULT in wotan client program(example:Do you really need that 0min call timer?)
6.Observe messages displayed in wotan client for any errors
7.DON'T TOUCH anything untill it says ==FINISHED OK==
In my case it was first time I used their service today, and everything went smooth.
1.Updated phone with LATEST FW R1GB001
2.Changed language pack
3.Fixed "OPERATION FAILED" message
4.Flashing took 6min and 11 seconds
5.WAP and MMS settings were dowloaded as soon as I powered phone up
P.S. DONT UPGRADE EROM ON YOUR OWN UNLESS YOU TALKED TO SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT THAT STUFF. BE SMART,NOT A FOOL!
