Hello everyone
I'm a complete noob when it comes to mobile phones
I have a K850 and the latest installed firmware according to my phone is R1CA037. I downloaded the update software from Sony's website and after going through the process (the software telling me to release "c"), it says my phone has the latest firmware
Reading this thread, it's apparent that there is a new update out that irons out many of K850's bugs and slowness but I can't figure out how to get the software to install the newer functions
I have used the search function, but to no success
Can someone please tell me how to update my phone?
Thank you guys in advance

Hello Wakashizuma ,
As you can see at the first page of this thread the newest firmware is R1FA035.
Is your phone branded? Does it have operator stuff like splash screens, screen savers ,etc. If yes, this could be the reason, some operators haven't released the newest version.

Hi
No my phone is not branded and I didn't receive it from a carrier. It's unlocked so I can use whichever provider I'd like (Freedom is good  )
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you

BROD.... I kinda new it was coming when the phone started rebooting without doing much (TrackID, and some other programs) and I KNEW I should have backed up my phone book and re-flashed it ahead of time but oh well. Live and learn. NOw I'll be doing a backup to Memory card at least once a week... At least SEUS fixed it. Phone went for 4 months before this BROD. |

They also offered me the C902 after I sent my K850 in for the third time. They even let me use the C902 for a week before I made up my mind, i didnt choose for it though, didnt like the design + camera, but its up 2 you! |

but the real problem is :
the display goes off suddenly... no pattern at all .. it stays there sometime, sometimes it goes of very frequently... the funny part is i am able to see all the icons , fonts ... i mean the backlight for the lcd goes off...
i get it back only after the keypad lights goes off... ( after few seconds ) ... and then i have to press any button to bring back light to all the screen and also the keypad...
please guys i dont know wht the problem is .. please helpe me ....
Unfornately I have to tell you that s not a software problem, it s a hardware problem.
I had the same problem on my K850 and I reflashed 2 times and it didnt work.
I had to replace the LCD screen so its working fine again.
I recomed you take it to a service center if it still has warrantry.

Hello, i use a w890 Acoustic for my K850i, an the sound is much better that the original k850.
There is a Mod or acoustic file from w890 to get Clear audio and Clear bass presets in my k850?
And there is a mod to uptade the walkman 3.0 an get visualizations from w890 and other new Walkman Phones?
The k850 use walkman 3.0. but no visualizations.
Thanks. |
