Now he just needs apps. Tell him to RETURN the N95-2/4 (8GB models) for the following reasons:
* 8GB MicroSD's already on the market for around 30-40 quid. Soon 12GB will hit by end of summer. The cheaper price of the N95-1/3 + 8GB MicroSD will benefit him.
* The USB is NOT 2.0 on the 8GB versions!!!  The MicroSD versions ARE! If he plans on filling just 1/4 of that with music or videos he's going to have a hell of a time.
Screen is not really that much better on the 8GB versions.
I see a LOT of ppl, even the great Plankt (his sign now states the K850i TRASH), moving over to other phone platforms/manufacturers!!
Me After I fix this data settings issue, I'm going to an E51 until 2nd wk of August then to the E71.

I've got another bug to report with R1FA. Please confirm, if it happened to you too.
Today the Activity Menu key (the one binded together with the Call key) stopped working. It wasn't hardware fault, as the screen lighted up if I pressed the key. A reboot sorted it out, but I never had this problem with the previous firmware.
I see aloe confirmed the "reboot after shooting video" problem. I gather that using the center touch key to start and stop shooting video doesn't cause the phone to reboot - will give it a try.
K850i was the SE's most superb phone. And failure.
Advanced to Android. |

Well if BROD happens you can flash your phone with the above mentioned softwares. Or update it through SEUS now to get BROD free firmware for free.
I don't believe in SEUS anymore.
My K850 updated to R1FA035 thru SEUS and I got BROD.
So after flashing by Kulankendi and downgrade to R1EA037 I flashed it using DaVinci.
So, R1FA035 is NOT BROD Free. |

Hey guys can someone help me please. Kulankendi support is next to useless and I got a problem with my K850.
I have upgraded the firmware to R1FA035 and now have the "Operation Failed" on EVERY java app/game.
I have downloaded the KK client and the necessary firmware but it says that my phone is not compatible and is not supported.
But the KK homepage says it is!
Any thoughts anyone? Want to go back to R1EA037 and then back using SEUS.
Thanks in Advance, GG
Guys please ...anyone? Is there a contact for KK other than the autoreply?

I will have to go against your words.
I went from R1E through KK to R1F through SEUS and no issues whatsoever.
Not a single reboot as of to date nor BROD. |

BROD can occur even after 5 or 6 weeks it's a random virus and if it's true that R1F is not BROD free then SE is really an a*s*ole and even C905 could have BROD...
Do you know the ''operation failed'' bug that first begun with K750? this same bug traveled from k800 to some k850 too and SEUS can't repair it too!! 3 generations of K and this bug is still there

Are you sure that you have selected DB3150 or A2 tab on KK Client? There are two tabs there in case you missed them. |

@Rifqi Azis
Why should've you flashed via KK and then updated via DAVINCI? Why didn't you flash your K850i directly with R1FA035 via Davinci? That was a lot of money. I believe that Davinci can fix BROD as KK Client.
BTW, KK Client will upload R1FA035 very soon. He has confirmed. |

You sir are a genius (although they are barely recognisable as tabs!)
and I am a fool!
Thank dude.

R1F broded?
so I guess that the faulty firmware theory might be correct.
even if you updated from R1E to R1F, the BROD thing could still be passed on.
The only solution I see now is to completely reformat the phone - flushing out the old firmy before reinstalling the new.
Even via davinci and KK, flashing doesn't format the phone but only replaces the old one, so the BROD thing is still there.
I don't want to brag, but my phone is not just stable but also increased its battery life - before: 2% after 2 days; now: 63% after 2 days.
I sent the phone via SE center for clean installation from R1DA to R1EA031.
I hope this theory is correct. |
