There are other issues i have noticed when viewing the media player in landscape mode but they are just things like when you lock the keypad, the keypad locked screen is out of proportion. I have had the K850i for about a month now and I got the 'operation failed' bug on my messages a few days ago. I did a master reset and was fine for a few days but now I have the 'operation failed' error on my applications and games. It's really annoying, btw i have R1CA029 and cannot wait for a firmware update!

It's available, just not through the SEUS. Service centres have it. Look at the first post in this thread. 
Not all service centers have the new firwmare as of yet.
SE are very slow in releasing the firmware at present. To be honest, before you do anything, i would check what firmware version they have.
R1CA037 seems to be new phone dependent at the moment. I have only heard of a few people taking it to service points and getting it reflashed with R1CA037.
Also not all networks have approved R1CA037 at present.
@CruSifiXken, What network is your phone on? Or is it generic

why doesnt one of the people with the new firmware just rip it off their phone and post it for us like the motorola forums do, or at least get a copy of it from asian service centers, pay a few bucks and the employee would be more than happy to provide a cd with the update for us. |

Dear All
Also guys what are some other sites that allow you to unlock, not just Sony Ericsson phones by the way? I know of wotanserver but thats SE only. I know of Top Sony again for SE and Total Multi Server for lots of phones but is there any other ones out there as I'd like to shop around and preferably unlock new Nokia models, Samsung, and LG phones especially. Any information regarding this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Hi
I sent an email to SE to find out when the Firmware would be released.
Here is the response.
"Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson Call Centre regarding a Software release for the Sony Ericsson K850i.
With regards to your enquiry, there is a New Software due for release on the 10th of December for the Sony Ericsson K850i.
Should you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again for further help and support."
I have replied to them asking what version of software it will be... So i'll let you know when i get a response.

Good work Lee. That was a good idea. I can't wait until 10th December, and I hope the firmware is a new one, higher than R1CA037 because from what i've heard, that firmware isn't exactly great either... |

R1CA037 fixes some major problems only(as described in the first page of the subject).It's more an emergency update(if it's correct to say this)because those major problems are connected with its main selling point,so it was urgent to fix them!I also hope that the newest firmware will solve at least 80% of its problems!Otherwise,K850i is a very good phone with lots of capabilitites in its segment an in my opinion it's the most intelligent non-smartphone i have ever seen!It needs only some bug fixes to unleash its power!

Even if you have the current firmware with you what are you going to use to upload it to your phone? There are no softwares supporting the K850 yet.

hi guys i too have been have some problems with the R1CA029 software, one being the mistiming of the flash and camera.
I was wandering if anybody had a problem with calling. I've had this one rare problem where when some1 calls me or i call them then their voice becomes so low you can barley hear it. I have to switch to speakerphone to be able to hear it.
Also this next question is not a problem but i was just wandering, I have this blue box next to my signal bar which usually shows 3G inside it but today its been showing a H inside, just wanted to know what that meant?
Thanks guys,
Gupster.

@ryanchg
As bezlightyear said, DavinciTeam supports the K850i now. Folks on SEUniverse have used it successfully to unbrand their 029 firmware though there are currently no generic 037 firmware images available yet. I would try it out now with a branded 037 firmware, but unfortunately forgot my DCU-60 at home and am traveling for the next two weeks.

He's (quite rightly) saying that even if someone with a generic handset could rip the firmware off, we wouldn't be able to use it.
