one thing i do notice is that the flash charges up almost instantaneously now. you can see the flash charge icon when u turn the camera on, but dont see it anymore after each consecutive shot.

contacts list is definitely faster

scrolling through music and pictures is faster

for some reason, i got 1 MB more on the phone memory after the flash, on 031 i had 28 MB...after the flash i got 29 MB O.O

as everyone else said, i hope this is BROD-free. overall, im content with this fw, i hope there will be more improvements in the future though... esp a camera with less noise.

Memory card bug still there. Can't set themes on the memory card otherwise upon restart they will revert to Crystal.

I'm definitely disappointed.




I don't really see it as a bug though, but a way to speed up start ups. And becoz i always save my themes on the phone memory.

^_^

- My problems are solve with the Media background bug.

- As of the Video sync, still not good enough but at least you can see that the video speeds up to catch up with the sound.

- Speed is ok, it did improved in speed, especially the media browser.

- JAVA games are wow! The marble really moves to my command.

- Multitasking is better. I always do text messages while playing mp3 so this ones good.

- There are still two things I have to test, and I will see it later: battery performance and occurrence of restarts,

By the way, I went from R1EA037 to R1FA035, and clean-installed/reflashed once via SE center from R1CA037 to R1EA031.

ok here are the EA031 and the FA035 comparison pics... i had this set on iso400


ISO400 should only be used in low light situations where flash is not feasible. Using it under normal conditions would only make the picture look washed out. It's the same for all digital cameras.

Really happy for you APAC guys it must have been really stressful, well now its more findings from you guys .... lets hear what you all come up with


by the way something with the camera is really amazing some are saying pics are bad some saying pics are good, my personal opinion is that there is definitely a difference with the night shots its alot better, the flash has alot more control on objects avoiding flash burns

Video sync can be fixed:
-When you first play a video it is perfectly in sync
-Restart or play another video either the picture or sound lags
-keep pressing the left arrow until the video becomes in sync

This always works for, take about 3 attemps though, but when your watching a 2 hour movie, it is definately worth it

Although its not recommended by SE you should do a Master Reset, choosing the all option before you update. The update procedure should be like this.

1. Fully charge the battery
2. Master Reset the phone choosing the "ALL" option
3. Remove and Reinsert the battery, obviously turning off the phone beforehand.
4. Hold C on the phone while connecting the cable. Release when prompted
5. When finished, disconnect cable and remove then reinsert battery.

Using these steps, you'll end up with a less chance of having a corrupted firmware or file in the phone.

My first impressions of Generic US which were already mentioned:

-Media player menu is significantly faster
-Flash burst is MUCH faster

Other than that, haven't noticed anything else. Pictures look the same to me, I haven't tried night shots.

Sorry guys, Is the new FW out on Da vinci yet? It seems i can't use SEUS anymore since I re flashed with da vinci. It gets half way through rendering my phone useless, then i have to pay da vinci to flash it back again.
