hi i posted in general about the poor reception my K750i was getting,,,
when held beside my K700i... if my k700i is showing a full 5 bars..... my K750i struggles to get a measly 2...... and if my k700i drops to 2 or 3.. sometimes i can get no signal at all on my new k750i :0(
SOmeone said this is a problem that has been adressed with the latest firmware? is this true?? and if so how do i know what my firmware is? and can i update it myself??
i looked in the technical screen of the phone but there lots of differnt numbers that could be firmware... i wasnt sure which 1 i needed to quote :/
thnx for any help |

To find your current firmware do the following:
From the home screen (NOT the menu - just the plain background) use your joystick point to the right > then hit * then <<*<* The whole sequence:
>*<<*<*
this will take you to the service menu, from there select Service info, Software info.
This will show you your current version of the firmware.
As far as the updated firmware, I do seem to get a little bit better reception, but I'm disadvantaged to begin with because I'm using this phone on Cingular (ex AT&T) and their coverage is primarily on the 850mhz band. |

Yeah I want to get firmware to fix this aswell but if you do this the latest software will cripple your mp3s or your memory stick. I wonder how firmware can actually fix this though. |

R1N is the new one. Read the firmware overview thread - http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=92737 |

r1n035 is the newest to be exact, but yes, you should be cautious of the memory card problems

Trust me; you update it then you loose your phone! Stay away from it until a new release comes out!

That's more than a little strongly put I'd say. I bet there's many people out there who've upgraded to R1N035 and don't have all the issues of the users who are posting here. I personally haven't had much problem with my phone after upgrading. It does require an occasional reboot but it did need it before the upgrade as well. |
