I agree, the background sending feature is useful and no doubt explains the loss of the cancel button - just gonna have to be a bit more careful what I write.....especially after a few beers!

If you're limber, the message can be cancelled by going into the Outbox. 
I'd also like to draw your attention to this reported bug:
http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=128867
Where the camera file number resets itself whenever the camera folder is emptied in it's entirety to the computer.
Can't speak on behalf of this one myself, (haven't tested for it), but thought you folks may be interested in it. A hugely annoying bug, if true.
Some more that I've uncovered, (to be checked by you guys, of course! Don't take my word for it!)
Sorting of browsing photos bug
(When phone is horizontal), Pressing the top 'Photo button' bring up a list of recent photos, sorted by Most recent to least recent.
Pressing the bottom photo button and then zooming out incorrectly sorts the images backwards.
Photo DJ file access bug
Can someone please verify whether it is impossible to load an image from the phone memory? Pointless if the camera is set to save photos to the phone and not card.
Media Playerrrrr!
For the love of God - make the player EXCLUDE RINGTONES!
If the phone has an undeletable system folder named "Ringtones", set the Media player to exclude this from it's indexing process, always.
For someone who constantly updates the music on their phone, making a new playlist (and selecting artists individually in doing so) in order to avoid ringtones playing is more than unfeasible - it's annoying.
Sure, I've cut down my ringtones and message tones to a minimal amount - but they still shuffle through.
This 'wish list' feature is just common sense.
And while you're at it - please improve the audio drivers. The music sounds highly compressed. Yes - it is noticible with good headphones (or car stereo).
Rant rant rant. Sorry sorry sorry. All true, mind you.

hi.. i bought my k800i allure brown in hk and it comes with the R1CF001. So i think this firmware is not a generic firmware of wotanserver but of sony ericsson itself. |

I think some people are going a bit overboard saying this phone has loads of bugs and when are they going to get fixed. People are being far too anal, at the end of the day for everyday use this phone is great and I haven't had any problems with the day to day stuff I use it for. I.e Calling, texting, taking the odd pic and listening to music.
Chill out and just enjoy using the phone, if not return it and get a different phone

The best post of this entire thread. Simply the best, and on the mark. My goodness it is a friggin phone. If you are not happy then take it back but the day to day whining by a certain few is just downright childish. SE will release an update that fix most bugs and probably introduce one or two. Get over it and try putting the phone down for a while and get some fresh air. Maybe talk to a girl or two. For sure explore life without the phone.

Can we all agree that the audio on the k800i is not the best in its current form? Does this need to be repeated over and over and over? And for the current software version, is a running report needed daily? How about MWarmer posting when the new version is released or someone else doing so? How about posting something not already covered rather than posting the same complaints over and over and over.
Recap.
1.Stop complaining and whining. Everyone knows the phone has a few irritating bugs. Name one perfect phone without quirks.
2. SE knows about them, probably reads ESATO and will fix as many as possible without adding cost or compromising the current phone.
3. The phone has only been on the market a few weeks and upgrading the software and testing takes time. The very same people here that live in complaint-land would be back again if SE released and upgrade that was also buggy.

I agree. Not exactly an awful bug, but it is an unexpected 'feature'.
> Photo DJ file access bug
I can load from both phone and card memory.
> How about MWarmer posting when the new version is released
I always do.
I tend to agree with others in that the problems caused by the bugs in the phone are being highly exagerated by a number of people of late. None of the bugs are particularly serious - they are all just slightly annoying.

Hmm, my media player isn't showing my ringtones. I have them in phone memory in the "Ringtones" folder. |

Hi, i have had my k800 roughly a month now, ordered it the day o2 got it in their warehouse. So now people on vodafone and other networks are getting the same phone.
I noticed that on a vodafone phone, there are green and red hang up and answer buttons instead of my web browser and quick menu buttons. I was wondering if anyone knew how i could change this, i am assuming it is a firmware mod and if there is one available it would be brilliant. I'm sure we all know how frustrating it is to accidentally hit the web browser and it starts connecting to the internet.
Any info would be appreciated...even a definate "no it can't be done" would stop me thinking about it |

We'll i guess u could flash your fone with the vodafone firmware... not sure where u'd get ur hands on that, but generally people want to debrand their phones rather than brand them...
Wotanservers has t-mobile firmwares, but i'm not sure they have the green and red call/end call buttons. |

One thing that i have noticed on my K800i is that it wont match the name to a number for one contact. I dont know why and have triple checked the number and it is fine. There seems to be no reason. I cahnged the number in my phone book to have +44 in front of it, as that is how it comes through from the network, and it did put the name onto a text that I had already received from that person but as soon as I received another text from them it changed all the texts back to just showing the phone number.

I solved this problem for my girlfriends k800 by selecting 'Auto save on SIM'.

Maybe it will work for you?

One bug that I cannot find listed here for R1CB001 is about the notes application. It cannot handle more than 6 notes correctly. If a 7:th note is inserted, it's not shown in the list of notes. Instead, the 6:th note is displayed twice. If I delete one of those entries, both disappears, and the previously missing 7:th note magically reappears again. |

The media player only reads all files from the memory stick. If you place your ringtones inside the phone memory, the media player will ignore the ringtones.
As for firmware issues - it's about time that the phone is due for an update. It's been more than a month. Dedicated people working out the bugs on this phone every day should be more than enough for an organization like SE to roll out an update. |
