Hmm, I just noticed that after the R1F update, my K850 no longer has HSDPA as an option in Connectivity > Mobile Networks > GSM/3G networks. I used to be able to choose between HSDPA/3G/GSM, and now it's just GSM or 3G&GSM |

Found bugs with R1F:
1. While I was downloading heavy game, and after tried to install it, the phone restarted
2. Auto focus SUCKS big time
3. Auto flash SUCKS even more
4. Before I had no problem with listening to my music over bluetooth with my Jabra BT3030, now, time to time, I have disconnections or lost of signal for few seconds
5. Jimm/eBuddy + music = lag if you try to write big message

Weird, my phone is working very stable (finally), no reboots, crashes whatsoever.
Just multitasking isnt smooth and fast enough. |

Can someone please explain to me why everyone keeps thinking that this is nearing the end for the k850i firmware??? Wasn't the phone just released last year? Most phones have at least a two year support life...

Most people think this, because (I think..) sony will be focusing on the C-series now the K-series are done.
I'm one of the persons who believe otherwise, im sure SE wont let us, the k850i users down, (almost) all SE phones had a much longer support life, so i dont see why the k850 wouldnt get this too. |

Do not use KK.
I think the project is dead.
Luckily I used them for FW R1E, which SEUS upgraded to R1F.
I will test out the bluetooth for this firmware tonight.
As for the flash, the red eye reduction 3-flash is really slow, it will take a snapshot right after the first of three flashes.
But one bug I noticed was transferring a mp3 through BT. During transfer I disconnected my BT headset. When mp3 finished transferring I went to Save in Memory Card > Play, and NO sound. The media had no sound, any music file would not play through the speaker.
A simple restart did the trick.

Hi guys just one question to ask reflashing the firmware on SE update server will it help any minor bug that would have appeared on this firmware that wasnt there before on the 037 .....or reflashing it will copy over the same thing stuff all over again
by the way since r1f had 3 reboots so far but all is well  |

I've had one restart, though I don't multitask nearly as much as some other people on here. |

One thing I did after frimware update was to copy all files(including hidden) from memory card to computer then format the memory stick, then copy files/folders back onto memory card. Things seem to be abit more responsive and stable.
