No SEUS update for me??
Unbranded UK K800i with CDA 102511/2 R4A
SEUS says no update, so I'm still on R1GB001 whereas the first page says latest f/w is Unbranded UK (CDA102511/2) - R1JG001
Anyone else in the same position?

I posted some time ago my findings of R1KC001 EUROPE 5 CDA. I found out that the font has changed a lot in Java games and applications compared to my R1JG001 APAC CDA. I noticed that there was clear and visible distinction in bold and non-bold letters, especially in Opera Mini. Some parts used thin font, while others thick (bold) one. I had R1JG001 APAC before, and when I wanted to flash R1KC001 via Wotan, I had no choice to get APAC--my normal CDA--at that time as it wasn't available yet. So I changed my CDA to EUROPE 5 and I found this font look difference. I thought the new Java engine 7.4 in R1KC001 brought this new font style. Sorry, I was mistaken. Why do I say so?
It's because today Wotan Server finally uploads R1KC001 for APAC customisation. This is what I'm waiting for as I need Indonesian language. I then flashed again my phone with the same R1KC001 but with APAC version. And you know what? Just noticed that there was NO thick and thin font style anymore as what I found in the previous Europe 5 CDA despite the same main firmware R1KC001. It surprises me a bit, however. I begin thinking that perhaps the font changes that I mentioned NEVER happen at all.
Then, I conclude that font look in Java apps and games are region-specific or CDA-based. In my R1KC001 APAC now, I don't see the clear distinction between bold letters and non-bold letters. All is the same. In Opera Mini, I don't have that thinner font look. All font now is of the same type and thickness. Hope that mwarner revised his 1st post. I just realize now that different CDA has different 'look' and 'performance'. So I am not sure now that this 7.4 Java version brings changes in font look in Java apps and games.
In other words, for European CDA you always have that bold and thin font in Java while in APAC always the bold one following the Chinese characters inside the specific CDA of WHATEVER firmware you have, not only this R1KC001.

but why doesn't SE fix the major bugs with the firmware, i.e. the caller list bug and phonebook duplication?? the duplication has reoccured on my phone, and turning it on and off doesn't change the situation... |

More CDA-based findings of R1KC001 (or may be eversince the R1BC, R1ED, R1GB, or R1JG):
-In Europe 5, in Texting, the A,Aa, a indicator is placed more to the right side.
- In APAC the indicator is placed more to the center of the screen.

I have never experienced phonebook duplication. Are you sure you don't accidentally ' restore contact back up from M2 to the phone?' |

there's a Bug in R1JG001 Firmware.
when you listen Radio and TURN ON SPEAKER, next if someone call you, the phone does not Ring, just vibrate. I see in older firmware version this don't' happen |

Yeah, exactly the same for me, right down to the CDA and current firmware version

it's not a duplication as in actual duplication of the entry. it's just there, and when you try to delete it or something, the phone will restart itself. and i'm very sure it's not a memory stick backup. |

I am using R1GB001 on my K800 Orange branded phone in Romania, and I find it very stable, as for the video bug you can view them in a list mode and there is no preview, so the phone doesn't "crash".... anyway I'm not a video fan.
My operator excluded from this firmware the Blog and the Update Service options beside and of course the icons , but I very pleased with the phone as it is. |

hey i have a few questions for people who have upgraded to R1Kc001 via wotan...
1. the upper left key next to the earpiece can it be used to scroll images in standby and in the file manager ?? has this been resolved?
2. by pressing the '#' key the available writing options didnt have numbers in R1JG001. has that changed in this new f/w?
i have faced two problems in R1JG001
1. the contact pictures stopped displaying all of a sudden. after setting the picturs to the contacts again the same problem happened. it was resolved only after restarting the phone.
2.when new messages would arrive mesage alert would ring but no pop-up or activity menu would be displayed. messages had to be opened after going into the inbox. the new message symbol was shown on top of the screen. after restarting the phone it was all right.
so this new java system dont seem that stable....
also suppose i send a msg and leave the phone as it is , auto keypad doesnt get locked due to the delivery report/ i have to click ok for the delivery report and only then when the screen is free of any messages the keypad locks. this was present even in R1GB001
