This has been a bug in their earlier handsets (I know it was there in my k750), so I doubt it'll end up being fixed. Besides, most operators are shutting down their circuit-switched data services anyway, relying solely on GPRS/UMTS (and rightly so.) |

After I disconnect the phone from my computer I get the message "Inactive SIM". I have to power-off the phone to reconnect to Orange.
Has anyone else seen this? |

I recently got a K800i (won it in a competition, so it is unbranded and not tied to any network). The firmware version is R1CA018, which does not match any of the "official" versions listed at the start of this thread. Does anyone know what this version is?

I had the same firmware, on a contract phone that I bought directly from O2 at the beginning of August. I flashed it to R1CF001 using the Wotanserver, which seems to be the latest generic firmware. |

I got my K800 from Carphone Warehouse (UK), and it's unbranded.
My CDA is CDA102568/6 which according to this page is from Trade North Africa / Middle East - whatever that means.
Can anyone else who got the K800 from CPW tell me what their CDA is?
Is my CDA likely to cause any issues with SEUS in the future?

Hello
I have had my phone from CPW for over a month now and the same firmware.
No it will not cause you any problems when coming to update the phone.
The update may not be out straight away like some of the other unbranded ones, but it will update asap.
I hope this helps.

Hi Guys,
Found another bug today:
I have the headphones plugged in and i'm listening to the radio on my phone while i'm doing some stuff on my computer at work. I start to hear interference in my PC speakers indicating a call is incoming. The radio switches off and the phone crashes to a blank black (not white like others usually mention) screen. The phone reboots back to the main screen and the radio symbol is visible at the top but no radio sound is heard. The call was obviously missed but there is no missed call entry.
This happened to me twice yesterday so I did a master reset and it happened three times again today.
The callers phoned again a few mins after and when I asked each of them if they had called previously they informed me it started ringing before they were presented with a "This number is not recognised" message.
Is anyone able to replicate this? I doubt it makes any actual difference but just in case the frequency I was listening to is 99.5fm which is for Radio1 in the UK.
RA.

I'm wondering, my phone is not branded but it has a sim lock can I still update with SEUS if there is a new firmware?

I think I may have found another bug.
Software: R1CF001

My phone locks up sometimes even without doing that. Might have to do with when I lose total reception of the phone... one time the phone had a flashing white screen in my pocket, and the other... the phone locked up in standby mode... I could only see the wallpaper, time, etc. |

Another bug:
- When you set an alarm, the time it is due to go off is displayed in the bottom-left of the front screen, above where it says 'calls'.
- When you finish making or receiving a call, the alarm time is replaced by the call-time counter, and the alarm time moves to the bottom-right of the screen, above the date. When the call-time counter disappears after a few seconds, the alarm time re-appears again. You are then left with the alarm time displayed twice, both bottom left and bottom right above the time.
- If the screen goes onto a screensaver, or into and back out of the main menu, the bottom right alarm time disappears and things go back to normal. |

Do you really believe that? Really? The SE developers are going to fix the most important bugs, make sure that the release is stable and then move on. The problems or bugs are not major but some people tend to make them out to be the end of all mobile telephony. Then comes the wonderful people who will complain about the fix. Why didn't SE do this, or why didn't SE do that?
Let the whining begin.

Reporting a bug in the firmware is not exactly the same as whining and weeping about it. The bug report is a documentation about a found bug, if someone else should experience a similar problem, then he/she knows that it's not his/her own particular phone that's faulty but the firmware, and that at least there's a hope for a fix in a future firmware release. Having the bug reported makes it more likely for the bug to be fixed than if it is not, and hopefully, people from  's firmware development department reads this forum as well.
I think the setup of this forum should be like this:
new topic: I found a bug, I did this and that and then this happened, etc. description
answers to that topic can be either one of:
a) I found that bug too
b) That bug is not in my phone(, and I have the same fw release)
c) This is a workaround
d) In this firmware release it has been fixed / does not exist
etc. |
