When I first got my K850, I thought it was faulty when the screen kept dimming. If you go into a bright room, then put your finger over the light sensor, you'll actually see it adjust. [addsig]

I would like the camera cover NOT to go open when i press the camera button while in "view-picture" mode. I mean, it can open when i slide it back to camera mode.

Hoping this f/w upgrade fixes the camera. I know several people that have the problem with the flash.

I read about it on Friday so tried taking lots of photos in the dark and only twice did it actually work. The rest of the time the flash went off to early and once or twice, it didn't go off at all.

This is already fixed in version R1CA037, which is available now via SEUS or using the update service function on your phone. [addsig]

As of today, yes. Hopefully the answers will be no tomorrow. [addsig]

New firmware out on the 10th. I am not holding my breath....
I don't understand how weeks in advance they give a specific date on a process that undergoes several modifications and tests. I would be surprised if it even comes out this week!!

It seem in the past they are just released and someone just happens to notice it...there hasn't been a something like a marching band to alert the public before.

If there is a new firmware out on the 10th, you have to ask where 037 fits into the grand scheme of things? 037 is only just available for all CDA's (not even sure it's 100% available) yet there is another firmware ready to land....? Why not bundle them together?

You could understand if 037 was released to fix a specific, important issue. Or was only release to specific CDA's. But as that's not the case, why the need for two releases in a short space of time?

because the k850 has had so many bug issues in the first weeks of release

037 did fix a specific, important issue: the camera. The 5mp camera is arguably the phone's biggest selling point, and it hardly worked! R1CA037 was entirely necessary.

Though I'm still remaining sceptical about tomorrow, I think releasing two firmwares so close together in this case is very reasonable. [addsig]
