My pc sometimes does that when I sync my I Mate Jam. Not all the time though.
I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose

got mine on o2 mate,

cant get it to work with the usb cable.
when you run the software it tells you to press the "C" button on the phone, this restarted my PC!!


manage to connect via gprs the other day(finally) but it told me i was up to date.

anyone find that the camera is crap unless its decent light??

I held it next to my K700i the other night in a night club & even with night mode it was REALLY poor unless i had the light on & held it close to something!

Camera is ok but you have to make some lighting adjustments though. Mine is always night mode and daylight

Maybe we should start sharing our preferences on camera settings or should we have another thread for that.

Mine is up to date. CAn't say it's bug free yet though. [addsig]

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but the line at the end of the list sometimes just hovers in the page even if the list is not at the bottom yet, and hovers above the text. I'll see about a screenshot soon. I have R4BA041.

Another question: is the latest SEUS version R4BA041? This page says the latest is R4CA004 but I can't confirm if you can get this via SEUS as well? Has anyone tried updating their [unlocked/SIM-free] W550s yet? What version did SEUS give you?

another one: when you enable/disable the player via the left side button and shuffle is enabled in the [walkman] player, it switches between [2] different tracks on the same point in the song (eg/at 2 mins 30 secs)

yet another one: everytime you close and re-open the walkman player, stereo widening gets enabled. not sure if this is a bug, but it sure is annoying having to switch that feature on everytime you get to close the player for whatever reason

My w550i has gone dead, with a white screen when switching on. Friends suggested that I should try a firmware update. Using the latest SEUS 2.2.137d I managed to start flashing the firmware. However, at about the last 1 and half progress bar, the updating stopped. The software then paused for some time and said there was an error in updating the firmware and ask me to try again from the beginning.

I then repeated the process two times, all with the same failure. My phone is now dead, not even with a white screen. Does any one have the same experience?

Any thing I could try before I send my w550i to the SE repair centre?
