The last version for UNBRANDED Western EUROPE is R1CA037... you have already the last fw for this phone.  (i have it too ( )
no its not. it is if you're using davinci, but using SEUS its R1EA031. i updated mine yesterday after first debranding it using davinci. it's now generic_so R1EA031 
I used davinci to unbrand my k850 to WESTERN- EUROPE (R1CA029), and the last firm that i have updated in SEUS is the R1CA037... now SEUS says that i have the last firmware...
SE customer service told me that in spain the news fw for ubranded phones...arent avaliable.

I also had Western Europe unbranded, and flashed with kulankendi (www.kulankendi.com) to R1EA031 CID 52 and changed the CDA to 1202-5694. Now SEUS recognizes my k850 as upgradeable, and I have as language and dictionary options Portuguese, Spanish, French, English, German, Dutch and Turk. So it's a combination I recommend, CDA 1202-5694 and kulankendi (which only costs 8 euros to flash, while the others cost 10 euros or more). |

mm si soy español  , aaah por fin puedo dejar de hablar un poquito en ingles xDD. Uf me da cosa pagar por pasar a la 031 , si cada vez que sale una actualizacion son 8 o 10 euros pues menuda gracia... no se yo si cambiando el CDA luego el SEUS me dejara actualizarlo.
jbbrs, your fw version is western europe but with CDA 1202-5694 ?? |

yep, thats the same CDA i have. just davinci it to customised uk/blue 037 (western europe) for €10 and thats what it puts on. then just use SEUS and it updates to the newest one, i.e. 031. i think its worth it, was doubting a lot as well. btw, i also have catalan, euskara and gallego.
por cierto, no tienes que pagar cada vez que actualices. es solo para quitarle el branding que tiene o lo que sea. una vez que tengas la version de firmware correcta, actualizar por el servicio de sony ericsson a traves del ordenador no te cuesta nada. aunque, como dije antes, es posible que en españa no esten disponibles esas actualizaciones aun, que ahi todo sale mas tarde, no entiendo por que...

entonces le puedo meter ese CDA a la version western europe que tengo con el kulankendi ese?.
Ya ya se que SEUS es gratuito, yo compre le movil en francia y no me venia en español entonces lo pase a la westenr europe generic con davinci a la 029, y luego con seus ya me actualizo a la 037, pero las nuevas me dicen que no estan disponibles por eso de que en españa no salen
los de SE me contestaron que no habia actualizaciones en los libres de aqui porque los problemas los daban los personalizados, asi que no tenian pensado de momento sacar la 031 aqui... (amos el tio no tenia ni idea xD)
well i going to try kulankendi to change cda ^^

voy a volver al ingles antes de que nos echen del foro...
i dont know anything about kulankendi, maybe jbbrs can help there, but if you already have the western europe firmware and 037 is the latest one available in spain, i don't think it will update to 031 anyway :S |

I'm using the latest FW and took a load of pictures today that were indoors and required a flash. On about 2/3 of them the flash was out of sync - ended up turning the flash off to get a picture. So basically SE still need to sort this issue out. Never had this problem on my K800 and amazed SE haven't fixed this on a specific camera focused phone. The Xenon flash was a selling point for me over other phones (notably Nokia), not impressed this is still a problem. |

Hello everybody 
3 days ago I updated my K850 via SEUS from R1DA038 to R1EC001 (Orange PL)...
And yesterday strange things began to happen - when I was writing a message, my phone suddenly did a reboot... Okay, it's nothing extraordinary - I thought, as I'd read about all these reboots before...
And after this reboot:
1. my theme got back to Orange Theme (but nevermind, I changed it back to my previous theme)
2. the size of contact picture which is displayed when a call or a message is coming, increased and now it's about 2 times bigger (it looks almost just like in K800) - doing a master reset and then reflashing my firmware by SEUS solved this problem
3. the "HSDPA" option in Settings -> GSM Networks -> GSM/3G disappeared - now I only have "GSM only" and "GSM and 3G" - just like in previous firmwares - and I have NO idea how to bring the "HSDPA" option back to my FW (without visiting SE service center or using DaVinci of course)
Anybody had same problem?
K850i is like Kinder Surprise - every day is different! :| |

Just had a restart when answering a call. Phone was turned of tonight and fully charged, and no Java apps had been run today. I did browse a web page earlier.
SE really needs to get the firmware working for this phone. |
