@~DC:UK~
I successfully deleted camerashutter.amr but the sound is still there when taking a picture when making a call. That's wierd when you say you have managed to replace it and that new sound is played when taking pictures while making a call. Are you sure it's the new sound and not the old?
I know this is not a big deal (to those who wonder why I think this is so important), but it's not about that - it's about tracking down the sound that plays when recording a phone call and that also plays for the other one on the other side of the line (who hears that the conversation is actually being recorded)... I want to delete that sound...
I figure it's either discreet.amr or progress.amr. Anyone with an idea which is played when?

@all
Hmm... I now converted the midi sequence that I uploaded to the phone (that replaced messagealert5.mid yesterday) to a amr file. Replaced messagealert5.amr and I can now tell that the same sound is played in the phone when making a phone call and I recieve an sms as it plays when I'm not making a phone call. That's great! So, remember, if you want to change a message alert you ALSO need to convert the midi sound to an amr file and upload it to the phone with the same name of the file but with the amr extension instead of mid.
BUT I also deleted camerashutter.amr again and the sound is still playing when taking a picture while making a phone call - now that's wird!
Still trying to figure out the name of the amr file that plays when recording a phone call. It's really useless to have that feature now when the sound is playing every 20 second (the other person knows you are recording the phone call). In some countries (like my country) it's legal to record your own phone call without letting the other person know that you are recording it. |

@ CyberVisitor
Good luck finding that one! I agree that sound is annoying and would best be removed. As to what it may be I have no idea. You could always go on the SETOOL forum and ask the mod (think his nick is The_Laser) to try deleting those sounds on his V800, he seems willing to try anything on it, no guts, no glory kinda thing! |

I finally figured out why the camera sound is still there when taking a picture when making a phone call! Here's the situation. If you delete an amr file that is supposed to play when making a phone call, then a default "beep" sound is played instead. This goes for all amr files! It's only when deleting a midi file (those sounds are supposed to play when not making a phone call) you don't have to upload an empty sound. If you delete an amr file, you need to upload a new one. In my case it's simple. I wanted no camera sound when taking a picture and I'm making a phone call. So I uploaded a complete empty amr file named camerashutter.amr and when it plays = no sound!
I'm still looking for the names of the two different sounds that plays when you record a phone call (one is the initial sound, and the second is the one that beeps every 20 second to remind that recording is turned on). Anyone who figures it out, please post it here!

Hey there,
I believe this is true as some people who have upgraded via SEUS are now on the latest version of the firmware. I'm also on R2L001 and after two tries on SEUS, I still have the same firmware. Didn't get the error message like yours, but I thought my experience may shed some light. FYI I'm in the Philippines. |

Noticed that "Auto save on SIM" is back in R2AE033. I think its a good feature, nice to have it back.

Annoying... managed to update before using the online service, but it seems to say that it doesn't support my operator now (Orange).
Grrr! |

Yes R2AE033 is released on SEUS for compatible CDA's.
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

Hello, welcome to esato.
Thanks for posting that, but i think it is public knowledge already. Still, it never hurts to refresh peoples memories. Also the K500i does not use the same Firmware as the K700i but it is in the same format.
