It's not that I loose sleep. It just goes to show that SE is not really interested in us customers once we paid for our phone. We paid and SE has their money, it is a really pity and has cost them a lot of users already as can be seen on this forum too.
Bugs do not get fixed, new features what could be easily incorporated are not because they want us to buy a new phone every 6 months. The next time I have 200-300 pounds for a new phone, it wont be SE anymore. I'm tired of the non-service and lack of upgrades.
The only way to get new features is by crossflashing and modding, which is not needed when owning a phone from some other phone makers who release not only bug fixes but new features for phone already sold.

I'm sure, that nobody could not sleep because of missing smile shutter:) But it's your phone and hammer and of course, c905 is better 
For me, smile shutter would be a problem...when you meet your sad friend, you have no chance to use it. And if you have a lot of sad people in family...horror:)
Ok, just kidding, but a really don't see any advantage in smile shutter
Hahaha...that smile shutter isn't that as fool as you think, same with face detection function, it can take a picture then without smile in screen or we can adjust it to manual shutter then.
Heh...must upgrade C702 firmware someday and add smile shutter as a good addition. I don't think to change my C702 to C510 due its lack GPS, although it win smile shutter. And when i change to C510 i can't take a picture on heavy rain again. |

Well, I think, new c702 next to my old k750 looks like a bit less "substantial". Anyway..even other Nokia, Samsung...etc. have some problems... I'm quite satisfied with my c702. No restart, no freezing...maybe loosing menu, when try FOTA, but I don't do it...so, I can't see any problems at me. Which bugs do you mean?
@code28h4p
Sure, I was just joking. Anyway, I prefer classic autofocus mode...but I can use face detection. Which advantage has smile detection next to face detection? (I haven't study this...thought it the same, but smile det. takes snap, when "object is smiling")
EDIT: Well, it's about beeing lucky. I saw many problems with new models. I saw discussion about c510 and it looked much worse, than c702 in this aspect. And when I saw, c510 doesn't look like much better in photographing, so I'm not sad, I chose c702

Well let's not get off topic and flaming ourselves off, okay mates? I suggest one of us try the read3150 to extract the MAIN of R3EA037. Would love to do it myself but haven't really been in touch with a computer lately. |

Lol who is flaming? Me? Just ranting here. I want all functions to work on my phone which in my case seems too much to ask as my phone is saving a lot of garbage into my jpg's instead of the right exif fields (I'm getting closer). And the firmware thing with SE always ticks me off but I still come back don't I ?
Ontopic, if you tell me how to extract the MAIN + FS from my phone (in a format that can be used with a2flasher if at all possible) I will gladly do it.

gtr83> IMO read3150 not serving to extract firmware from phone. Rather than that it extracts files from flash files .mbn and .fbn, tried that once and performed this way. Maybe you can get these files out of SEUS cache ?

There is some stuff in \Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\...\blob_fs
I'm sure it is the 037 firmware, when I reflash my phone and say "flash it anyways" it doesn't download anything, it starts flashing right away.
There are over 300 tiny little files and 2 bigger ones, those must be MAIN + FS.
They're 18MB and 30MB, a2extractor doesn't like any of them, saying bad file. They must be packed or encrypted or something. If anyone knows more let me know!

No problem
I been reading some thread about the files in blob_fs, it seems they're encrypted and nobody has managed to decrypt/use them in other software. Or they don't share it.
If anyone knows a different way to get the MAIN + FS let me know.
