I too have the same problem with the flash on the 029 F/W on Orange, and likewise with the occasional freezing and battery removal to resolve.
Also, I'm not sure if this one has been posted yet or not, but I have the odd problem with txt messaging. If I write a txt message that spills over to SMS 2, then send it, it will fail and ask for a retry and sit in the Outbox. However, I can't open/view/edit/move the message to send it again or edit in drafts and send again, or the Retry option wont work either. But, the recipient will receive half of the message! Has anyone else seen or had this problem?

Welcome Lee to Esato.
No no body has ever mentioned that on this forum or any other forum i know of. I think this may be a fault with the orange branding on the phone.
My SMS are norm 3-7 sms at a time and i havnt had one failure of a text. I send a few thousand a month
I have a o2 branded phone, well o2 only change the playnow logo to o2 and leave everything else alone.
Have you done a master reset of the phone, (This will loose any of your data so back up first) and see if that resolves the issue, other than that its back to orange.
Sorry

Hey Lee,
Check you havent changed the message options to Circuit Switched nstead of packet switched. I had a customer on a W910 with same problem.
 Hope thats all it is!

This K850i is really starting to annoy me...
On the previous page i told you about my recent problems and that I did a master reset that got ther media player working again. Today I've been spending a couple of hours restoring all installed games, programs and especially all contact photos.
Now that I just finished with the contacts I find that all games and programs i reinstalled this morning are gone. Not even the preinstalled games and progs are there anymore...
So basically I have to do another master reset...
Really really annoying... I do hope they release a new firmware soon or this will be he first time ever I actually give up a SE phone and choose another model due to phone being basically unusable. |

My screen is now loose at the top right hand side (looks like it needs to be glued back in). Not too bad (yet), but it does creak a bit when I'm on a call.
Also, there's now some light poking through the C key (bottom left) so I can see that we'll all have completely blank (and well lit) keys in the next 6-9 months.
Build quality is definitely going to affect SE if they're not careful. Mind you, the service centres that get paid to do repairs will be excited!

The LEDs appear to be something they just can't get right. Even my week 43 build that I got today (my 5th K850, incidentally) has issues with the LEDs not being aligned correctly, but otherwise it does feel really solid. It certainly looks like they've nailed the build issues. But that doesn't excuse them for releasing it in such a poor state.

Ok Im trying to Test things that was on the list on page 1 with R1CA029
I now have R1CA037
On some phones, adding a birthday to a contact does not give you a chance to add it to the Calendar. ** This now works with out any problems
If the phone goes into standby whilst viewing photos, resuming the phone isn't possible unless you exit this mode. ** I can now resume with out any problems now as i was one of those people who couldnt add dates correctly onto the contacts list.
The zoom buttons both zoom into a picture and change the volume if you are listening to music whilst browsing pictures ** This one is fixed on mine
**** However new bug, Now when listening to music and browsing photos, I can zoom in on the pics with out altering the sound, HoweverIf i keep my finger on the zoom button, the song changes or fast forwards or rewinds to the next one

quick update on the orange 029 crash/reboot "scared of the dark" syndrome.
I've been playing around with mine to see if there's any pattern to the
crashes and I found one which stops it happening. When the phone is set to
GSM / 3G it'll crash and reboot, turn off 3G no reboots. This only happens
when the handset has to hunt around for the signal and is fairly constantly
changing from 3G to GSM and back again, i.e. in my trouser pocket, sat at the
desk at work - put it on the desk where 3G is wea, but there and it's fine
again !!!!

@glorfingal Posible a Orange issue with the firmware on the handset then?
Im on O2 and dont have that problem with the R1CA029 firmware. (when i had the 1st and 2nd phone)
On my third phone I now have R1CA037 firmware, which on Friday when i go to the main city I will be able to see if it switches from GSM-3G, as O2 seem to forget that i live in a town and I would like 3g coverage or even edge for that matter

@darrengf - that's what I though too ... still waiting on Orange's verdict as
to whether it should go back for the other "features" mine has !!

Hi all
Glad to hear I'm not the only one to be experiencing troubles with the 850i. I loved my 800i, but this one's being a right pig. The black photo thing, all the applications and games have deleted themselves, offering only "Operation Failed" and last night I realised I hadn't received any text messages for a while... checked my inbox and got "operation failed" then as well. Have done a master reset and received one text message since... from Monday... ARGH!
Here's hoping for a new firmware release soon. |

Got my replacement phone on Tuesday and it also has R1CA037 on O2...
Hope it's much better than the old one that stopped texting!
With regards to the build dates on the slide out thing, my one is 07W45!!!
Only problem for me is that the bug I found isn't resolved yet!!! - (If the phone goes into standby whilst viewing photos, resuming the phone isn't possible unless you exit this mode.)
