9. Mess in multimedia still

For me nothing has changed. What is wrong with SE?


No rds or EQ isn't bugs. they are just not featurers in the phone.
Not ceartin that the phone ever will got those featurers.

I have also updated to R1C037 a few minutes ago. Mine is an unbranded black Satio, bought here in Sweden. As already has been stated by others, there were no problems with the update, but oth, no dramatic changes as far as I can find.
Hopefully, this update handles some of the severe bugs rather than adding features that we are missing.

@Keljaden, you can download the FB app, sign it yourself, and not invalidate the warrenty, by not using HelloOX2

Yea I know thanks. Just seems alot of hassle just for one app. Now worries I've been using touch.facebook.com anyways, and set my Satio to upload photos through email to my FB account. Thats all I really need.

Well we all waited excitedly for an update that hasnt done anything
The only noticible changes are that the phone feels a little faster but maybe only as fast as it did the 1st week I had it and the ringtone bug has shortened to only a couple of vibrations before sound kicks in.
Worse for me was that I've had several reboots but never had the phone freeze, well now for the 1st time the phone has frozen whilst writing a text , this has happened twice with new firmware and i have to turn phone off , grrrr.

Updated to R1CA... 109.9MB update size !!
Mine is a Black O2 branded

Issues addressed,
1. general response is comparetively better
2. volume increase/decrease button now works even when phone is locked
3. phone resumes to radio/media player automatically, after a interrupting incoming call ends
4. updated to new version of RoadSync

Things still remain unresolved,
1. no RDS (it was advertised all over) no Equiliser
2. quick media button, like play-now.. even when the phone is locked
3. flash strength not increased
4. no kinetic/flick (like iphone)

Yet to be checked,
1. Battery performance
2. Wireless connectivity (someone reported as disconnecting after update)
3. picture compression
4. key lock/unlock problem yet to check

I feel SE has concentrated more on reolving the "software glitch" to get the phone back to shelves just not to lose the Christmas sale period. I hope SE releases another firmware may be in Jan sometime.

Correcting bugs generally leads to a more stable system, that's what bug fixes are.

Adding new functions, like equalizer or RDS generally may lead to new bugs and stability problems.

Hi guys, as far as this firmware (R1CA037) is concerned, don't expect any major bug fixes/feature additions because a few years back when I was waiting anxiously for P990i's magical firmware that would make the phone do what it was advertised that it would do, I discovered the following. I can't remember if I read it in a cell phone mag or on this or another forum, but what I read was that a major improvement in firmware means the R"1" will become R"2" or R"3" & so on. That means the second digit from the left has to increase. Any changes in the firmware name starting from the third digit from the left and rightward, only denotes minor fixes/ad-ons. So unless you see R2, R3, or R6 as in the P990i's case, don't expect anything that will put a big smile on your face! And now, regarding a question I had posted last month regarding if the Satio U1a was still going to be produced. If anyone has an answer, it would be appreciated. I have still to hear back from SE. Thanks!
