Sell your k850 and buy a real digi cam, then you will have perfect shots :S
SE is not Forcing anybody to buy this phone, if you dont like the cam or the bugs, buy Nokia or Samsung or another SE for those who say k800 has better cam.
my k850 with R1CA029 firmware is working fine i had only the Equalizer bug and is not that bad.
if i had all the bugs mentioned here, sure i would no keep the phone. |

SE is also not taking care of the people who fell for there marketing scheme and bought the phone. I've said it before - I'm a Huge SE fan, but when I have to pay $33 (so far...) to get my phone RECOVER from a hard crash (Blue Ring Of Death) TWICE, I'd say that they owe me that money back. I know the response - you should have bought a branded phone from your provider (not available in the US yet) or you should have sent the phone in for repair - like any of us can wait for SE to fix the phone. For me it would involve Mailing it to them so I can forget about it for at least 2 weeks. That and I'm not sure they would repair it since it's not US model - I have squaretrade warranty on it so if there is any charge they'd pay it but that just adds another layer of bureaucracy so probably one more week.... A phone should NOT crash just by sitting there PERIOD! 031 is BUNK as far as I'm concerned. I'm back on 037 and hoping for the so called R3A whose white paper was released on EMMA...

Hi, uhm, I've actually read trough this whole thread (I started reading when the thread was about 30 pages) and I've been watching the bugs that people gets and comparing those with my own K850i. I've actually been quite lucky with mine, I haven't had too many bugs, and those I had didn't really bother me.
Except for one, which I don't think I've heard other mention here before. I had the K800 before, and I had a lot of pics organized in folders on my M2. When I moved the card over to the K850, the folders where of course still there, but the ability to slideshow the pics in the folder where gone. Instead I would have to go to Media, and then create Photo Tags and try to re-organize them there.
But for some reason, whenever I try to tag them, most of the time I will get an error message "Cannot tag this file type." I can't really understand why it wouldn't be able to do so, since they're mostly JPGs as every other pic on the phone. Of course, I could use the folders, but the slideshow is really a great function for grandma's who wants to see pictures of their infant grandson but can't really work the function keys 
This might be a small problem (especially for those of you who gets random reboots) but it's the one that bugs me the most.
"Cannot tag this file type"
Nor a small problem neither phone's bug.
I guess this is due to lost/corrupted/non-standard tags in EXIF of your JPGs.
- One way is to import minimal EXIF data in your pics using EXIF editor,i.e Opanda PowerExif in trial mode (very intuitive).
- Or another yet simplistic way is to transfer images to memory card via Sony Image Converter (google it).
I wonder if MediaManager from phone disc can do the same but I doubt whether it do image processing.
Pls let us know the results.

I just deleted mine? On 031 Western Europe Generic. I did it through the File Manager in Organizer.

@coquito Most people that buy phones don't go searching through forums for potential problems. They buy the phone based on brand preferences, phone features, etc... This phone was supposed to be top camera phone but hasn't lived up to its name. Most phones these days can take decent pictures, thats not what k850 was supposed to be. Like I said before, I am hopeful that SE will release upgraded cam drivers so most people can have a better appreciation of their purchase.
@Prom1 If they are focusing on smart phone market share, it should not be at the expense of their other products. Also, C902 seems to be the replacement of their flagship cybershot. More features, slimmer, lens, cover... |

SE will never please everyone,coz no matter how good the firmware or software is,still there would be people complaining of not getting full power out of the camera,phone.....
So far for me,no probs,no crashes,camera better,and definately better than my previous K800i...how to compare orange to apple btw.....
Cheers....
*hope the people with tons of problem solve it soon and we will have a peaceful k850i thread with less complains only valuable feedbacks...coz what i see is the complains from the same individuals.....your lady luck not working overtime maybe? |

Btw the 5mp camera on the phone is a "fun" last minute candid camera type...not for professional use,use a DSLR with better processor,better lens,better post processing sensor....if you the best out of the best
You want to get a "perfect phone camera",just dont go zooming in every aspect of the picture and critic,just print it out on 4R and see the results and ADMIRE,dont tell us that you'll print it out the pics in A1 format?or even make it into a banner just to admire it??
If compare with its predessors,K750i 2mp,its(K850i) way better,K800i/K810i 3.2mp,its(k850i) also better....
I have all the above mentioned before,modded the camdrivers also...see thread for k750i/w800i camera driver,also see k800i camdriver thread....you will see my name e_erzan all around...and i tell you frankly,if k850i already hacked into,i'll definately cook a damn good camdriver out of it...
But seriously,k850i's 5mp camera is a already good camera to play around with,without mods....if with mods...it would definately be great!
Coz i get the best pics of my little prince with K850i's 5mp camera without even editing it in photoshop....
Just my 2cents,cheers,have a nice weekend.... | |
