Regarding .m4a support being new to R2AE, this is a myth. I've been playing AAC files with the .m4a extension on my phone since I got it with R2a firmware. Worked with R2L, and it works with R2AE. They have blue icons stedda green and say "mp4" stedda "mp3." And they've always played fine. Mine is (formerly) O2-branded phone, CDA 17, EU2.

Just had an email to confirm that the firmware now being use on the online update service is R2E033. Not had a chance to try it yet but hopefully this is the case.

Noticed a bug-fix in R2AE033 over R2L001:

The "phone always asks for phone lock code when turned on, even though SIM wasn't changed and lock was set to "Automatic"." bug has been fixed.

Noticed a crash in R2AE033 when using FMA 2.1.0.53 Beta 1 (reloaded):

I was refreshing the "Files" folder in FMA, when suddenly the phone display turned white. It flashed a couple of times, went dark for more than 5 seconds, and then the desktop appeared. The phone had lost connection to the network and on Bluetooth to my PC.
This never happened on R2L001 with earlier versions of FMA.

Even did a re-take. Still R2L001.

Oh well

Just updated to RAE through SEUS - went perfectly OK. But I still can't turn off that **** shutter sound when I take a photo ? Is there a trick I need to know ? have I forgotten to do something evident ?

On my phone all you need to do is mute the phone. From the main screen press and hold C until the crossed through musical note icon appears in the top left corner of the screen. Launch the camera app and it should take pictures silently....or at least mine does with R2AE033.....mind you it also did it with R2L001 so it could be to do with the version of the OS you have. Mine is regional version EU_2.

OK, some changes and a couple of weirdnesses in R2AE033--now when the screen shuts off in powersave mode, it takes two presses of the volume button to bring up the clock with backlight--first press brings up clock but no backlight, second turns on the backlight. I assume this is a power-saving "feature."

Now, weirdnesses. This morning, my phone wouldn't play MP3s, including the one I had as a ringtone. I deleted the MP3 and resent it to the phone, but it still wouldn't play. So I rebooted the phone.

Now the MP3 will play, but an AMR I recorded via the phone of my kids yelling "Dad, pick up the phone!" _won't_ play. Even weirder, last night the phone played that AMR as a ringtone fine--it even played it through my headset when the phone rang. Curious...

I just now completed the updating my k700 through SEUS and got the R2AE033, but be warned...

It also updated the phone with the WRONG phone language pack. I got the pack for baltic languages installed instead of nordic which I had before, (Swedish phone).

I still have not figured out how to solve this. The support said that I should send it to manual service, but I'm unwilling to do that because I have flshed the phone from branded Vodafone to unbranded. If anyone have an idée, I'm listening...

well if you have already unbranded you phone, why not just flash a new language pack onto the phone with one of the servers. www.setool.net recommended.

Because the platform sends bogus messages while charging, that is why!!!..But why this change of heart?..We sense a charger connected, oops, we will not shut down after all!!!..*********************** UI BASIC, HOLD YOUR HORSES
