Hey guys,
Anyone care to tell me with what settings i can watch videos the best? and what is better ; 3gp or mp4?
im looking for a good converter for the k850i, ive searched the forum and google, found alot but none of them are really good..any suggestions?
thanks
i'll recommend using Any DVD Converter Professional.
use the following settings to get the best possible mp4 video:
video
codec : mpeg4
size : 320x240
bit rate: 192 - 512 (384 average)
frame rate: 25 (or 20) never exceed if u want videos syncd. with audio
audio
codec : aac
bit rate: 96 being average
sample rate: 44100
channel: 2
and the most important setting is A/V Sync
set it to default
you'll never have any videos out of sync. if u use the above programme with the settings mentioned.
people often complain abt mp4 sync and regard it as a firmware bug.... but in actaul they dont know what is the actual prob.
i never had sync prob even with R1CA037 if u dont change the orientation while playing. and that's it.
You'll see the difference.

Honestly, I would say to just use 3GP for size purposes. It's a phone, so it's not like you're going for super quality here, so mp4 is not that important, and is about 3 to 4 times as big as the 3GP file.

Congratulations on starting a discussion about video encoding for K850i. Discussion that does not belong to this topic which covers the phone's software, firmware and drivers.
K850i was the SE's most superb phone. And failure.
Advanced to Android. |

Congratulations on pointing that out.... Hey, anyone wanna congratulate me for congratulatin him?

I'm runnin the R1FA035 atm, for me the camera is a LOT more reliable now. Even on the R1EA037 f/w the flash NEVER fired on the first shot i took. Now it fires 2 outta 3 times on the first go lol.. Not perfect but shedloads better than it was. The UI is faster n smoother, had less random 'boots and multitasking doesn't kill it like it used to.
All in all i am close to bein satisfied 
Still wish i'd waited before buyin the blooody thing tho lol

well, how about when I tilt my phone? that is when this phone totally wrecks the viewing experience.
Everytime they borrow my phone they can't help but spin it around, even while playing videos. |

Hello,
I just tried updating via seus and it already said I had the latest firmware!
I'm on O2 and currently using 1200-4400 R1EA031 080206 
What should I do?
Thanks in advance.

You can either wait till they release the 02 firmware (if they do), or flash your phone to a generic firmware that the r1f update is available for. |

Have encountered a problem trying to update my K850i on SEUS.
Current FW is APAC-ANZ R1EA031.
SEUS recognizes the phone and downloads the new firmware, APAC-ANZ R1FA035. It begins to upload the FW to the phone but after staying on 0% for a few moments an error message appears: "Error: Update failure", and requests that I disconnect the phone and start again.
I have tried doing a master reset and updating, and even tried the update using a different USB cable. No success!
The last FW update I did to R1EA031 several months ago was problem free.
Anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated! |

I don't know if anyone have noticed this..
But on the new R1F firmware I found under Organizer that there is a new option called light which allow you to use the camera light as a torch..
Don't remember seeing this on another firmware..

My phone is Orange branded and I can see the option of light too. it turns ON the LED and not the camera flash. wish I could get rid of Orange stuff, as I am in Pakistan so don't know where I can get it done.
