No new news, but just to say post upgrade no data connection or MMS reception for me 
A note to people having problems installing, try different USB ports. I tried installing the firmware upgrade from a laptop using a PCMCIA USB2 adaptor and had nothing but stress... i tried it on one of the laptops original USB1.1 ports and hey presto, problem solved. |

My phone is also on O2 UK, unbranded.
Since the firmware update I have been able to use GPRS WAP, GPRS Internet and MMS. The only bug I've found is that google won't display in the browser, and I get stuck in an endless loop clicking "OK" to the "Unable to show the selected page" dialog.
Anyone else seen this? |

Yes, I've got the same error when I try to view www.google.com, but www.google.com/wml works ok. I think all my shortcuts are for wap versions of pages anyway. Should the K750 be able to view regular HTML?

no, i don't think so.
that, in fact seems to be the problem, that the google shortcut now points to the inappropriate (html) page. Obvious really. 
However, I've checked the xhtml page www.google.com/xhtml which *should* work, but doesn't. Hmm.

Hi
Upgraded my O2 mobile no probs a couple of nights ago. But I am also now experiencing the GPRS bugs. And also more annoyingly my SE Akono HBH 660 bluetooth headset disconnects after about 10 seconds into a call. Headset connection was a bit buggy on the old firmware but is awful now. That was my main reason for upgrading the firmware. Does nobody test these things before releasing firmwares.

It's not locked to the O2 network, however.

Yes, this is what I meant. I was refering to an "O2 branded" phone as one with the O2 theme and the top left icon for internet access (says "O2" when you highlight it) having a small blue O2 symbol on it. It was probably bought at an O2 store.
A non branded "O2 phone" would be one on O2 but without the O2 theme and the standard SE icon for internet access. It may have been bought at an O2 store, but could have been bought elsewhere.
I believe that O2 don't lock any of their phones to the O2 network.

Just updated on Orange network, everything went through smoothly, and all working at the other end which is always the risk eh?
Noticed theyve sorted the bug where it lost the short cut when the phone was rebooted!!
All in all though, the phone was working not too bad before the update anyway! |

Upgraded my K750i yesterday, and it worked perfectly.
BTW, I also updated my girlfriends V800... "Updating-frenzy.."

However, the menu icons do seem to animate slightly faster and smoother - i just wished they'd fixed the contrast.

yes, the picture is much better on the T610 I have (in terms of contrast). I also notice my k750 has extraordinarily large amounts of base for pretty much every thing - I'm not talking about the media player function i mean speech mostly.
it did this before the update.
on another note, given that so many problems have occured following this update could it be we will see another release soon? SE seemed reasonably quick to get this one out after the phone's original release dat so having made some people's phones a bit useless you'd hope they would be on the case and update to fix them...which was the point in the first place but it clearly didn't work across the board.
I think it must be down to SE having to accomodate for so many branded types that inevitably some mis-matching will occur. yes i know they shouldn't have released an essentially unrefined product but I gather network providers were leaning pretty heavily on SE to get them out. |

I haven't seen anyone with this problem... maybe it's me being dumb.
I have tried the update procedure and got as far as the 'Power off your device, hold 'c' and plug back into the USB etc.'
However, when I do this, XP says it has detected a new 'flash device' and tries to install drivers but can't find them. I downloaded the driver pack from the SE site but they don't contain the correct file(s) either.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance |

The drivers you need are the update service USB drivers, available from the sonyericsson website. You might now have the problem that when you repeat the action, windows no longer prompts you for drivers.
If so, there are two ways to proceed.
1) load the device manager, (control panel->system->device manager) and watch for a "USB Flash" item briefly appearing in the "Other devices" category. If that happens, right click and choose "Update drivers", then point the wizard at the files you just downloaded.
2) If that proves impossible, re-boot windows in safe mode (F8 on boot-up), and use system restore to go back to the last restore point. Reboot. |
