Do you also have problems taking photos with the xenon flash?

If a subject is within a two-meter radius, it will get over-exposed (very white, no detail). This didn't happen in the first firmwares. Also, It worked perfect in my old K800i.

So I never use the flash, or all my night photos look like shit. I hate this phone, it's the worst flagship SE phone yet.



I think that you are not able to use your phone if you speak in this way

surely 2 seconds for night photos should be better but with the correct settings you can rich a good result.
Download FPC Bench a good benchmark/system info for your phone.
Download Pocket Inclinometer for your phone's accelerometer.

Guys by chance is the c902 officially launch as yet,because i believe this our keep back with the firmware or is either they make another mistake firmware and afraid to release i am positive this firmware is raedy but something they are afraid of ,they probably know that if they prove their self this time around i know they will live to regret it... this flagship phone will take all their flags down

Yes i have the same issue with mine aswell. Ive owned a K800 in the past & i still own a K810 but ive never had this problem with either of them before.
I'm starting to hate my K850 aswell, I might sell it & just stick to my K810.

Same here, night pics are awful, they come out black if I use the flash unless with portrait and then they are either poor or tooooooooo bright.

you need to use the compensation.
reduce the compensation with the keypad...

Clean your light sensor. It's been covered hundreds of times in this thread.

Then get a different phone because the dirty sensor problem is an inherent flaw with the K850i.

I have to say that I also got MUCH better results once I cleaned the sensor. I carry a tooth pick now and use it once in a while. I've thought about finding some sort of Very transparent tape to put over the sensor so it doesn't trap any dust but not sure if this would work.

That's unusual... I can't seem to update my K850i 02 from R1EA031 to a later version using SEUS....
