When you unlock the phone, (from the black screen)
The top half the keypad comes on for a second before the bottom half. Any one noticed this?
Same here! |

That's normal. It's supposed to be a fade effect!

Anybody have the issue about the uneven backlighting I mentioned above? Lol.
only a little, but a lot of LCDs have this "problem" (backlight leakage)
Haha yeah I know, but mine has this HUGE column of unlighted area... not your typical LCD backlight bleed LOL... yikes. |

" mine has this HUGE column of unlighted area"
Is it always unlit? If so, sounds like one of the backlight LEDs isn't workn. I'd take it back. |

Hi All.
New here  Been reading this rather interesting threat, with a mix of amussement and annoyment.
Bought my K850i in DK October 17th. My mate brought it to me, cause i live in China. Got it around October 25th.
After 2-3 days it suddenly froze when i started the PhotoDJ up, had to take out the battery to get it back "to life", which resulted in the message funtions were no longer available.
Called SE China service center, and they told me about the Master reset funtion. Tried it and it worked.
Called them again to get new GPRS / MMS Settings.
(I have been a Nokia guy always... this is my first SE)
during the next 3 weeks period i made calls to the service center to get GPRS/MMS Settings at least 5 times.
Girl asked me why i called so much. I answered, well... cause my phones software seem to be kinda shitty.
She asked if i had checked for an update, and i could tell her my version 029 was the latest one.
2 weeks ago i went to an actual service center to get them to check it out.
They had never seen a 850 before so "sorry, cant help, come back in a month then we might be able to do something"
Starting last week the shutter began to not response... Meaning my camera is of no use.
Did the whole routine of master restting and all, but nothing helped.
At that time i was actually "ok" with applications and games not working, but when the camera stopped the it was kinda enough.
So the status on phone today is:
1. Camera shutter won't open, so camera us useless.
2. applications "operation failed"
3. games "operation failed"
4. 50% of the times i start media player and "resume" it will re-boot
5. touch buttons are at a effective rate of around 50-60%
6. I seem to activate the touch buttons with me cheek or ear when talking.
7. volume keys does not work properly, and phone often have to be re-booted to get them working.
8. When watchin pictures, using the "play button" on the side and activating camera, after a while the phone will go on save mode, and only way to "un"save it again is to use "hang up" which will get me to the main menu. Kinda annoying when watching pics
All the bugs you guys list with flash, videos and EQ i havent tried. The list i made is the things i found before reading about so many people had problems with this SE wonder.
I wrote an email to DK customer service 5 days ago.
I wrote another mail to them yesterday, and added "Lack of Customer service response" to the Bug list.
I updated FW yesterday using SEUS, now the FW is:
1200-4400 R1CA037 071012
None of my problems have been solved after updating.
I still like the phone over a Nokia. The software on Nokias are shit slow......
But it would be kinda nice if the SE K850i camera phone wonder, would actually deliver what SE promised, and not as in my case (and alot others a can see now) just a phone which can make calls and type messages. I could have bought the cheapest china brand if that was what i wanted....

yeah I've seen you're 2 and 3 with SMS - Master reset seemed to fix, but I'm not gonna use the phone before I can update the firmware.
with 5, I think they are just a bit of wizardry that take getting used to... I find that if I pretend to touch the word on screen above them then they work more often.... it's annoying when you can't tell if it's worked or just being slow - I signed up for some online service 'cos I pressed a few times thinking it wasn't working but then it caught up and said 'accept' a few times for me!
I also have problems 7 and 8 which I don't think have been mentionned much before

K850 is by the far the worst phone released by SE with so many bugs. I have seen the operation failed more than once in my sms folders and had to do a master reset a couple of times till now cause of this problem. Till 2 days ago when i switched the phone off as usual every night, turned it on and the phone bricked, doesnt go passed the sony ericsson logo. Its been in the service center 2 days now, hope its just a software glitch. SE seems to rush phones into production without ironing out the bugs. I will never go back to Nokia though  |

also as a pointer, i tried the phones update service, and it said i had the latest software.
used my computer and it updated it to R1CA037
Maybe the phones built in update service dosent work.
Also final point, the first post reports that the shuffle function plays the same track over and over until you manually skip in media player.
not true, just updated to R1CA037 and my media player remember what track it was on yesterday (when i was on R1CA029) and i had it in shuffle mode and it carried on shuffling perfectly.

Updated my phone yesterday morning, 12-12-2007, via SEUS. Normally if no upgrade available it tells me so, but, I had the option of update anyway. It's as if Sony have updated SEUS to allow it. Anyone else experienced this? Or is it just me?
K850 on Orange 037 Firmware.
It didn't fix Oeration Failed or any other bugs/features, BUT, the phone seemed faster through menus. Media player is still as slow as a dead dog. |
