Sorry if this has been addressed already, but i have a major gripe about the w800i: even if you lock the keys [*- lockkeys], the "play/pause" button remains active and in my case turns music on and off as phone is in my pocket!
- does anyone know a way of locking/deactivating this button?

second: i hear people reporting their firmware version: how do i find this out?

thanks!

It shouldnt work without a headset plugged in, but some do, like my dads. The best way to stop it is to go to setting, then play/pause button and change it to start radio. Then if it is pressed in your pocket without the headset in, it will try to start the radio, but the radio wont work without a headset as it works for the antenna.

So there you go, not the best, but a solution non the less.
