Ok heres the crack with the 3UK firmware updates. Spent most of the past few days on the phone to 3 with firmware problems. I have been stuck on 029 for months now and unable to update via SEUS or FOTA. Guy i spoke with last night said the latest firmware for 3 uk was the RIEA037 and I should have been able to upgrade, however it didnt. So rang again today and they asked for my IMEI number and sent the firmware to me via FOTA, it took a while to upgrade but its now on the latest and running very well too. So basically if your stuck with 029 on 3UK ring the support line and say you are stuck on 029 firmware, they will ask you yr IMEI and then send you the firmware via a text message. If you dont recive the text from them just goto settings, general and update service. Then click search for updates, it will then allow you to download the latest update which you select yes to and let it do its stuff. The main file is about 5megs it downloads and then upgrades the firmware from that, takes about 20 mins to do but worth it. tec support told me that from now on I will be able to use SEUS, it seemed as if 3 had locked the updates.
Hope this is of help to Huggons and the rest of 3 uk people.
Regards

- Java applications that use an Internet connection no longer display the internet connection icon when connected.
This is a know issue on R1EA031 but has been fixed in the R1EA037, please update the first post.

I'm slightly worried by the fact that since i've updated to 037, i've had 5 restarts from 4PM alone. Better backup everything!
I really thought that this was going to be the stable firmware for the K850, i guess not!

I don't think that this is a firmware problem since I have the same firmware and my phone haven't got this problem...
I think that is a SIM compatibility problem... Try change your SIM with another one and see if the restart problem remain. |

This firmware has been excellent for me. Much improved better life, faster system and best of all, no reboots. |

Hmm interesting Sandy. The only issue i had was after updating to R1EA037, the phone wouldn't start the first time, i then tried the 2nd time and all is good. Believe it or not... the phone doesn't reboot itself either like it did with the previous version. Battery life problem seems to be fixed as well. Not major improvements... but yeah they are noticeable that's for sure. I'm also using the 8gig m2 card and have over 500 songs... menu def seems faster. Even scrolling through images as well. But again... what i'm most happy about are no reboots at all. Touch wood! |
