The problem with the lamp not firing properly, or firing out of sync, was corrected a while ago.
I must admit that I am amazed SE managed to get away with releasing the K850 as it was before. This new firmware, which I am sure isn't perfect and we'll spot bugs in the coming days, has made my K850i feel like an all new phone.
I think I'm going to call it the K851 from now on. LOL
If SE fix the red color problem i will call it K860. |

Fullforce SEUS flash only some blocks of firmware ... some kind of new addon on old firmware that changes it in some way. If you want to lose that problem you have to flash your phone from start. All blocks ! You can do it only with daVinci or SE center |

I guess for those of you upgrading from 037 it feels like a big jump in terms of speed but from 038 it's barely noticeable. What a disappointment.
If you already had this speed on 038, you can't surely be disappointed? You got the benefit of this speed increase earlier than we did.
Did that have the other new features, such as being able to lock exclusively to 3G or the vibration when you press the touch buttons?

Locking to 3G and vibration on the touch buttons are the only thing they introduced in the months since 038 was released. I'm supposed to be impressed?

Yes i suspected as much..sadly. And i guess Da Vinci only takes credit cards.
Since this thread is so intense right now i dare to post this again:
Just a small survey- Does anybody else still have the java/operation failed problem after updating?
If so please post here! |

Please read the posts above you.
How does a room with a white object have more light than a room with a red object?
I think, to the lightsensor, it doesnt make much difference.
And therefore, it will fire the same amount of flash on a white object than on a red object.
It should not. |

cor blimey, 275 pages! i remember someone betting against new firmwares before 200 pages!
i sent my 3-uk k850 (rca029) for repair monday, nothing yet...
i sent it and got it only last week, the launcher, applications and games all stopped working ('operation failed') same thing happened 2 days after i got it back from 'repair'
i wanted to swear and cuss them, but it was a woman on the other end so i was calm, patient and nice.
anyone else had this problem? |

Anyway i think Mark was right.A little speed improvment,touch vibra and 3g option is everything?For me only the touch vibra is new function,3g coverage is low in my region so for what i need 3g Force, and the speed boost is ,like i read in posts,only noticeable when upgrading from 037.

I'm confused. You got a revision of firmware that had many improvements, which we've had to wait for with our generic versions, and you're moaning? Did you expect even more speed? The processor is only so fast you know, so most improvements are coming from code optimisation - and that's why the Java benchmark data isn't a lot different.
This firmware now has some extra features, which SE had no reason to add, and you're saying sarcastically that you should be impressed?
There are other changes and I'm sure I'll spot more in due course, but I can't tell if you got them with 038. SE only needs to issue bug fixes and optimise code, not add new features. If they do, that's all well and good, but we can't expect them or whinge that a new feature isn't as good as having somehow increased video capture to VGA resolution at 30fps, supporting HSDPA at 7.2Mbps, or doubling the battery life.
