Found a strange matterafter updating: When transfering a file to the phone using Bluetooth, the phone used to beep once while recieving the file... now it beeps twice! Once when alerting you to accept the file, and once when alerting you the file is recieved... this is sad! That beep sound ain't fun listening to! |

hi
I have just updated my phone no problems, does anyone have a comprehensive list showing the improvements that the new fw has made? My phone hasn't frozen or shut itself down so far and I updated this morning so fingers crossed!! I wonder what the difference between version 3.8 and 4.4 on the camera is??
cheers

@beeb, this was posted earlier though I don't know where the info was sourced but it does sound like a good summary of everything I have read so far

Having issues installing the Sony Ericsson K750/D750/W800 Update Service USB driver. If i go in to control panel (WinXP) and Control Panel - System - hardware - Device Manager - USBdevices Sony Ericsson k750 - update driver - select manually and select the driver EPIUSB.INF then i get told the driver does not have information about my hardware.
Any help on this one or am i being totally thick? |

FINALLY managed to fix this updating business. took me to try it on 3 different computers and it eventually worked. so, here is - for anyone else in the same predicament - how to do it.
oh and by the way I'm on orange (uk) and the phone can with eu_3 and the 1Ra-so on firmware, so it does work on the eu_3's. it now says eu_1, all the 'orange' pictures in the menu have been replaced to - what I assume are - sony ericsson standards. It might just be me but it seems faster too.
right, before you do ANYTHING, including connecting your phone to the computer, download the following two things:
the SE drivers on the support page, get there by going to sonyericsson.com, navigate to your country's site and then click the 'support tab'. enter your phone model (k750i...!!) and get directed to a page with lots of options. click on the 'drivers and scripts' link to be directed to somewhere like this (this is the UK's one)
http://www.sonyericsson.com/s[....]3_2&zone=ps&lm=ps1_1&pid=10242
and you also NEED this [thanks due to darky]:
http://www.sonyericsson.com/d[....]_Update_Service_USB_driver.zip
- which for some reason is not in the above driver package but you need it as otherwise the phone cannot be set as a 'flash device' for you to scrub the software thats there and replace it with the new one...
right, with those two zip files extract them into an easy to find location. you many now connect your phone to your computer, have it ON too! the computer finds your phone and searches desparately for drivers, you must select the location of the ones you downloaded for it each time (happens about 5 times). then go back to the support site (again this is UK) -
http://www.sonyericsson.com/s[....]1_1&zone=ps&lm=ps1_1&pid=10242
[I am informed that you can update the firmware from any international support site...its the language on the phone that you alter for your own use] - and below the links that take you to the usb drivers/scripts etc is a link for the Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS). click it.
you then have a few basic things to follow, go through them and eventually you'll be asked to download a sony ericsson .exe, do this and wait as it installs.
once installed the web page proceeds automatically (well, it did for me) and you then follow a similar process as before by clicking 'i accept' when ever it occurs. finally you get the option to update the phone (at last), as you click to do so the SE .exe will kick in and take over (website remains in the back ground).
follow the instructions and with any luck it will have recognised your phone (thanks to the drivers) and that it is also a flash device. if it waits on the 'initialising device' point I found that by turning off - leaving the phone connected - holding 'c' down as it restarts (it does this automatically) causes the computer to recognise it is a flash device and will ask for a driver; direct it to the folder where you put everything and select the divers that I mentioned were not included in the USB lot.
once I had this done the 'initialising device' box disappeared and it moved on to the next step.
click yes/next and follow th on screen instructions. it asks you to disconnect and turn off, hold down 'c' and then plug in - keeping c down for a short while after its plugged back in too.
If all went well the progress bar will start to tick over and after about 3-4% has gone by you can release 'c' (at least I did to be sure). the update then takes a bit of time but once done remove your phone and turn it on.
it will ponder a bit at start up but then all will be good.
as I said I tried on 3 machines. if you install drivers from the CD prior to the ones you download it seems you run into trouble. I got to a fresh machine and used the downloads straight...if you already have drivers installed the computer never prompts you to search for any (like your newly downloaded ones) which may mean that theres a teeny bug in the drivers from the CD(?). so, if at all possible try it on a fresh machine otherwise i suspect you'll be going round in circles.
hope that helps the weary! best of luck...just wait until the next set comes out

Can anyone say whether the font used when typing a text message is now the smaller one (as viewed messages are or as they are on the K700)?

@ libben
If you installed the USB driver once, it will be detected automatically by windows if you try to uninstall & reinstall. So dont worry about it.
If you continue to have problems, do the following:
Go in to devices in Control Panel/System and watch for 'Other - USB Flash' briefly appear - right click it and 'Properties' - the driver and 'Update' and point it to the new ones (if you miss it simply unplug again and repeat)
Finally updated mine with EUROPE_3. Thanks a bunch to everyone who is here helping out with all the information and ideas they have! |

Well, before doing the update, my phone only beeped once while recieving a file. Now it beeps twice and I'm sure it didn't before. Maybe it only beeped once before for those of us who uses EU4 firmware. That firmware acts different for others sounds as well, like the camera and auto focus sound - they don't play when the sound is muted.
Anyway, I'm sure my phone only beeped once while recieving files using Bluetooth before... just like with a K700i... |
