If this is correct, SE may not have lost their minds completely after all.... |

I got my K850i back last night recovered from 2nd BROD.
R1EA037 is installed in it. Should i update to the R1F....?
i'm really annoyed with that bloody BROD.
i havn't checked the new SEUS. If it can flash the FS as well then i think there's nothing to fear about BROD. but im not sure... any suggestion for me?

The amount of trouble everyone's having with this phone is shocking.
I've had four replacements, each phone lasting 2 weeks.

It's true when you update the firmware, not when you reinstall the same firmware.
No your wrong dude! I updated my Telstra branded K850i from R1DA038 to R1FA035 today & all my data remained on my handset nothing got erased.
Sorry for you, but i reflashed my phone today with R1FA035 and it re-erased everything. It did a complete flash.
Different behaviour on different phones / customisation maybe. |

OK I know I renounced getting another  phone.
But I've said MONTHS ago that no matter my choice in phones, I keep ALWAYS coming back to .
I know why now. There are just some small things that you miss, and at the last leg of the life of the phone; you find out something VERY cool and love it to death.
* RSS Feeds & Ticker!
For those ppl who's providers (like AT&T or Rogers Wireless) that have Proxy Enabled in the data settings .... the following quote is from HoFo where a fellow member that was just as fustrated helped me out. I'm posting here to give back to others  .
[QUOTE=Paco]I had a problem with AT&T's proxy munging RSS feed urls. I just created a new internet setting that did not have the proxy, and it fixed the problem. Any chance it is something similar?[/QUOTE]
Dude this WORKED!!!!!
Actually instead of creating a new data acount, I just turned off the proxy on Rogers APN: internet.com . Worked flawlessly. Didn't know just how COOL the RSS Feeds Ticker on the home screen looked!
SWEET!

Dumb question:
My K850 doesn't show the H icon (as in HSDPA) only the 3G icon, but I can get connected beyond 3G sppeds (3G is the same as UMTS which is 384K and I'm getting up to 1.4Mbps)
Is there any way I can get it as in my previous K850?
Thanks.

No
The Icon is gone. It doesn't really matter because as you said you are getting the HSDPA speed even with just the 3G icon.

would the C902 be a good solution instead of getting a new k850? (sent back the old one for the 3rd time so they gave me 2 choices)

Not to also mention the purple fringing in the pictures taken by the C902. It may be tempting to switch, but either get rid of the phone altogether and use an older K series or something else, I suppose.. |

Neo-Tech, don't buy this phone, save your $ and keep your K790/K800 
Yep, looks like I will have to. I am going to get iPhone 3G when it comes out on PAYG

Its gonna cost so much when i comes out on pay as you go. People think around 500 --> 600£ as apple won't be getting any revenue from o2. Also, whats the point in getting an iphone when nearly all its apps use data, unless you want a fat ass data bill be delivered through your door. |

They will more than likely resolve the current BROD but it will still not be safe from anymore! R1F seems far less likely to get one so maybe make sure you have this firmware either via SEUS or if not avaliable, use 3rd party.
