Harry have just noticed that despite the firmware beign replaced its still showing as the uk version despite me changing this!!!
When i check the software version its showing the one i upgraded to 2nd time round but is still saying generic?
When i turned the phone on though 2nd time round after the upgrade it said please wait but then the phone wen toff and i had to turn it back on.
not happy at all i could seriously cry at the minute, after being £20 out of pocket, i just really am upset at this now.

Can someone clarify the definition of BROD? Or are different people using the term in different ways?
For some, I hear BROD means the keypad and camera ring light lights up and then phone is frozen and either it won't reboot or they need to remove the battery. (I haven't had this issue *yet*)
Others describe it when the phone also lights the keypad, camera ring lights up, it vibrates, but within 10-15 seconds it is restarting - not a full reboot, but back to main screen and signal search. This is what I frequently get now but did not before 031.
I'd like to add my name to the many tomorrow by calling SE to voice my dissatisfaction with this bug. It only did this maybe once every 2 weeks for my 029 and 037 firmware. I still think the improvements of 031 are worth the pain of the restarts (IMO) but as the frequency grows and at worst possible times, I'm rethinking that. It is now 1-5x a day. I've tried removing the battery for several minutes every other day or so but it hasn't helped.
I have Western Euro, Generic, unbranded firmware.

Restarting no matter what lights up is not BROD. BROD is short for Blue Ring of Death which someone here on the forum came up with when one of the first cases appeared. BROD is when the keypad lights up and the blue ring around the lens is lit but the phone is nonfunctional no matter what you do. |

Dunno if this already posted before, but I found another bug of R1EA031 : accessing "Manage email" (Messaging - Email) makes K850 restart. I've tried it twice and my Sofia restarting twice.

Finally managed to get the update done then i updated on SEUS.
For those only just reading this is a brand new k850i branded on t-mobile with the 038 firmware,.
It took 3 atempts to get the unbranded 037 software.
Updated to 031 on Seus last night but to be honest the phone seems very very slow to react, browsing is also very slow. SHould i have done a hard reset after the SEUS update to 031?
Help me guys! |

if everything is very slow then make sure that the media player is not creating an index, navigate there and instead of saying, 'Total : 430' it should say 'Updating 48%', let it finish indexing then it should be quick, if not, i don;t know what you ahve done... |

No need to do a master reset after SEUS update. |

UPDATE:
Turned off the 3g and when using GSM only the internet doesnt cut off once and phone works perfectly.
Now when i turn 3g back on it works for a minute or so then i get the probs connecting etc depsite the 3g beign displayed so it must have strong enough signal.
Now fair enough im indoors but so is my work colleague on the K810 also on tmobile and she has her 3g turned on as well and no disconnections?
Any ideas to the probs below? or is the phone just poo at picking up 3g? Does the 3g symbol on the screen indicate full coverage of 3g or could it be a weak signal? My Signal bar shows as full.
-----------------
Ok, well it is running very slow is the phone, the internet browser when using opera or normal built in browser constantly times out, it takes nearlly 45 seconds before it connects to google most of time it just says "connecting".
The phone itself seems to be running normally but when using opera or built in browser if i select to go on google or whatever, the little "progress" bar that comes up at the bottom comes up but doesnt do anything for about 1.5 minutes then all of a sudden the page comes up fully. Before it was doing the time out thing all the time so im not sure whats up with it. Could this "new" phone be faulty? It seems that it is taking too long to get the connection and then constantly looses it and has to reconnect at every page although it doesnt say but the globe goes grey. . And when it doesnt load i get "Communication Failure. Try again or contact your operator for support." The message in opera is "failed to connect to the internet"
Whats up with it? Ive got the right settings. My friend who is sat next to me also on t-mobile is working fine no probs & has a k810.
Rang t-mobile they say theres no probs and could be the phone thats faulty because i have tried another t-mobile sim in my phone and does the same and my sim in someone elses phone works fine.

Mine K850i did brod 2 days ago and i sent it to the dealer to claim warranty. I hope i'll get back my K850i next Monday. I'm using K810i right now but frankly speaking i'm much much missing my K850i. Navigating through messages(inbox/sent) in K810i is very sluggish.

@richard Don't know if you are in the states but T-Mobile is having nation-wide issue with t-zones, picture messaging, and internet, basicly all data services. I just called and they informed me of this, gave me 100 bonus mins as well... |
