Blame Vodafone for that because of what they do to the software. If I were you, I'd unbrand your handset. They ruin the phone.

As long as people buy that ruined branded phones they will be sold. What VF did to the K850i is really a desaster ! |

I agree they shouldn't brand their phones that much, however, i havnt had any of the problems stated on my vodafone K850 apart from the menus being a bit slow and im still on the 029 firmware. well, i havnt tried every single one either but e.g. my camera never took any dark pics after i removed the protective screen and it has never crashed or anything. |

Thanks guys...
Yeah, VF branding really is poor. I've decided to return the K850 before my 14 days cancellation period runs out. Probably wait a few months until I decide to go for it again or for something else. I got it on an upgrade and I don't think it's worth keeping it for the new 24 month contract!
I have to admit I wasn't that keen on the phone - When using it for calls my face kept touching the touch sensitive buttons! Maybe better with new firmware I guess! 
Cheers,
Derek. |

Does anyone else seem to have this backlight problem in standby? (eg. some backlight unevenness near the middle left where it is slightly darker)
I am not sure if this is a firmware issue, or a property of transreflective LCD's which SE decided to implement in the K850i.
Please let me know and thanks! |

Mine has it too, near the 3 touch buttons. But the rest of the screen seems ok. |

Hmm so this isn't normal? This doesn't happen to your K850?
The display is perfect when normally lit, but just this standby clock mode shows its lack of lighting uniformity.

Here's a shot I took today in the city.
Bloody good quality!

@obentou - I've compared your pic to my K850i - it looks like one of the white LEDs isn't working for your screen - I can see four across the bottom but as you say your one looks like only 1, 3, 4 are working with 2 being dark. Looks like a replacement job to me.

Ever since updating the firmware, I've got a seriously annoying problem. Every now and again (in fact, quite frequently) the screen turns off and the keypad lights come on full, for no reason at all. It's always after I've pushed a button, most often after I try and unlock the keypad, but also just at random. It happened twice this morning when typing a sms for instance.
Does anybody else have this problem? It's annoying enough to make me want to sell it to be honest. |

Hello everybody,
I'm on the .29 firmware in the UK (got the Vodafone phone early November).
I'm experiencing freezing, auto switch offs and now the "My Applications" is inaccessible ("Operation failed")...can you confirm that this is all to do with the firmware bugs?
Anybody out who had any success with Voda UK in reporting this and getting a new, FW updated K850i? Cos when I went into my locale Voda shop yesterday the shop staff was well puzzled about me telling them about all these problems....
Thank you
J.

There is no updated firmware for Vodafone-branded handsets. Your handset needs to be flashed at a Sony Ericsson service centre to cure the operation failed issue. If you can get the handset replaced by Vodafone, I'd do that.
