My Camera sound is still on even if I switched to silent mode. I am on EUROPE_3 and it was like this before the update too. Is anyone else having the same issue? |

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...

Well funnily enough, I'm sure my phone beeped once before accepting the fale and after receiving the file, but now with the new firmware it only beeps BEFORE

Anyone that has done the update using only the updated USB-drivers (i.e. the last one named "Sony Ericsson K750/D750/W800 Update Service USB driver")?
Meaning, do I also have to update the USB-drivers from the webpage ("Sony Ericsson 750 USB drivers") in addition to the one mentioned above and not just use the ones supplied from the CD?

As far as freezing goes, mine did it regularly, at least 5-8 times a day.
Its now gone 18+ hours with none, and for the first time ever, through the night, so touchwood, it's fixed |

I think the Camera sound is still on (in silent mode) for all users with the EUROPE_3 customization. I live in the USA and everyone here has K750i's with different customizations because the phone is not released in the USA. So, it could be nothing to do with the US laws, maybe something to do with the laws in Netherlands because thats where I got my K750i from! |

I tried doing it earlier but i get an error message on the website
The application reported an undefined error
Please try again. If the problem persists, please contact support.
Have I done something wrong?
Do i have to have PC Suite installed?
I have installed the drivers for the phone, not the latest flash one tho as it never requested for that one. any ideas guys??? |

Hmmm,
I installed the normal USB drivers, but not the flash one. At the time when it asked for the driver, I must have inadvertantly selected 'don't ask me again'. Now that I've downloaded the 'flash' driver file, I can't get it to prompt me again, any ideas?

Right, so there's apparently several 'Europe' versions drifting around...just wondering if it would be a good idea to collect all the things that occur in each version and see their differences, also from where each version may be obtained.
I was on EU_3 originally (R1A or what ever the first one is called) now i'm EU_1 (R1J).
I got it from the UK SE update site.
main menu changed, and despite software being updated you can't delete any of the original (network provider's) pictures on the phone.
I have a different sounding camera and i think its faster to saving images.
my camera is Silent when in silent mode
bluetooth still not particularly special (I suspect this may be a hardware limitation?)
[java] games load faster
media-played mp3's still seem quiet compared to the ringtone volume you can set.
...and no crashes yet

@shiato
What changed in your main menu?
I have the EU_3 and the camera sound is on even in the Meeting profile. |

go to device manager and keep an eye on it whilst you unplug the phone, turn it off, hold down 'c' then plug it back in (still off), keep holding c for a bit. now, if you see something along the lines of 'Flash drive' appear quickly click on it and go through the tabs at the top to get to 'update driver', then go through the process of locating the correct driver. if it works you'll know when you head to the SE update section and get to the part where it connects to your phone through the program you downloaded...
I agree its a bit tricky but trust us, it can be done. took me a while to get it myself! |

well, it went from the standard orange ones (pastel colours all a hint of orange!) to a more colourful one...the graphics when you 'roll over' the menu also change more than originally, here's what you get;
file manager had a trumpet and things coming out
not much change in media player or entertainment
camera shows it flashing
txt shows envelope with/without letter in
no change in 'orange world' or 'downloads'
contacts shows closed>open book
no change in radio or calls
organiser goes from 30 on calendar to 1
settings is a wrench as inactive and a wrench + screw driver when you scroll over.
as I said before the graphics are different, bolder colours and much more of them. content hasn't altered as far as I know.
since I got the phone the camera sound has been controllable through phone silence/or not, so it may be hardware specific (or a hidden menu option somewhere) as I've gone from EU_3 to 1 and still no change there |

Finally i found the USB FLASH in device manager.. I kept my eye all the time in the Subsection USB (Universal Serial Buss connectors) BIG MISTAKE =)
it appears under the Subsection Other Devices... there it will pop up, just rightklick on it and choose update drivers. Now im gonna see if i can update the phone.
Btw, what happends if i choose the recovery mode instead of automatic? I wanna clean my phone totally.
========================
========================
And the upgrading is going strong!
finally.
Any official list on whats been changed? or is it just try and trial to see whats been changed? I hope it fixes the bluetooth.. its a pain sometimes with my 662. and ive only owned it 2 days =)
