UPDATE of R1F ....
I still cannot get MMS. Here's the breakdown.
1. It worked for 5days with this firmware until last Saturday then nothing Cannot Send/Receive.
However, yesterday & today ... (since my no more MMS issue on Rogers) I've Master Reset>Settings (today Master Reset ALL) and now my lovely K850i with themes still on M2 after the reboot defaults to the SE Crystal (I think).
26MB Memory Free. (Rogers Firmware I had 33-36 if I purged some pics)
I'm now on a new SIM, 400 series. older one was some 203040 series.
Purged settings, Resent myself maybe 5 times on Saturday, Sunday - Powercycled removed batt some 10times thus far. Resent settings from SE's Phone Support site (tech's did too 4 times today) and re-enabled MMS on the switch to NO AVAIL! Transfered the newly activated SIM in a Nokia 6020 and MMS send/received worked (also Rogers Branded). Back in my phone NOTHING. MMS icons show GREY-faded, yet SMS is the normal Yellow.
If I open the grey MMS it tries to auto download (yes Message Settings are set). Cell Info=ON, Allow PUSH=Yes, Area Info=ON. SO what the frak?! I cannot say its the firmware because it worked for more than 5days with teh new firmware. So I'm inclined to think that MMSC or something on the switch that ppl are overlooking is screwed up.
OH of note!!!: If you MASTER RESET ALL > and try the SE Setup Wizard to Grab Settings automatically (used to fined SEMC for Data, MMS, Videotron for GPRS), it WON'T WORK!!! It doesn't try past 1 full second reporting an Error. Also SE's site is NOT sending me settings, and its ticking me off something proper.

If the touch buttons stop working, it means the PCB responsible for detecting the changes went kaput. Purchase a new PCB and you'll be OK  |

guys, are there any risks to update my K850 via SEUS?
I read people got BROD because they updated through it.
someone ? |

Prom1 - Are you using the k850i MMS settings sent by SE?. If so, use the W580i settings, I had the same problem just recently |

Nobody knows and anyone who tells you they do, are lying. |

Hmm, the PCB doesn't look as complicated as that, this is what you will actually be buying if you were to fix it:

I'd be very suprised if there's any more firmware after this one.... as the guy from voda says.."the K850 is at the end of its life now"
throw it in the bin and write it off as a bad purchase & never trust SE again. |

Guy's .. about R3 firmy from C902 - look what SE responded to me..
"Also, we want to inform you that using the service Updates Sony Ericsson, install mobile phone Sony Ericsson K850i a version of softare new, improved, which resolves any defective software in the phone. However, the updated software does not bring mobile phone Sony Ericsson K850i features of another mobile phone differently."
^^ using Google Translate.
I don't think we can get on K850 those new features like C902 has (via update, except XS++), but we will get improvement on UI speed, camera driver (fixed red/pinkish issue) and removing other issues.. with next f/w's. |
