this has happened to me about 5 - 6 times now, hopefully someone else on o2 can confirm

i hear the beep beep beep noise whilst on a call (as though i got a text) but i dont actually have one. It transpires the last 3 times its happened its been the other person on the call (who has a k850) thats got the text at that exact point in time

very very strange.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet as I can't read through the whole topic at work.

When the screensaver is on and a text comes through (but you miss the initial notification) the screen stays blank with no envelope or anything to let you know you have a text.

This is no bug. It should work like that. You now have to press the volume buttons to see this info.

Hi everyone, I've got a K850i on O2 and I've only had one problem with it and that's when I've connected it to my laptop with Bluetooth and it's asked on the phone whether I want to use the phone as a remote control and the phone restarted. Now I think the people who are moaning or unhappy really need to wait until Sony Ericsson get releasing the updated firmware, at the moment we've got the initial firmware which has undoubtedly got a fair few bugs and issues and could will undoubtedly improved and optimised in future versions. Sony Ericsson generally deliver when it comes to updating firmware and I'm sure we'll all have pleasant smiles on our faces when they come along I'm sure in the not too distant future.

There are lots of different screens in use on SE handsets, including TFD technology that consumes very little power by switching to b/w only mode. This is perfect for standby text, and is why some models have a constant display of the clock.

I guess the 24-bit screen used on the K850i is a real power drain and doesn't have this innovative feature (it's probably TFT) so there's no way you would want a constant on-screen clock.

Before I post it as a bug on the first page, I would like to ask other people's experiences with the Alarms. All I get out of mine is three beeps when an alarm goes off, and not the MP3 file I have selected. Is this the same on all phones or just a weirdness with mine?

Ok, thanks Mass ... must just me mine and/or O2 branded then. Seems rather odd! I am genuinely thinking of sending it back to O2 & getting an N95 instead. I must admit I am very disappointed with this phone - just SE loyalty that is keeping me from sending it back at the moment. If only it were a K800 with a better camera and media player I would be happy.

Also I wanted to to add that I have only noticed this so far if the keypad is locked manualy. Not when using the auto-lock feature. Also this device is not branded if this makes a difference. Thanks

bought and returned it

had 90% of the bugs listed here it was unbranded even.

imo crap firmware and fs all together.

the big bug: released too soon!

I have just checked the 02 K850i's and at first i got the 3 beeps even though there was a mp3 ring tone listed.

I then released, the mp3 ringtone it listed wasnt on the phone. I had deleted them. So when i choosed a new one, the alarm worked perfect.

Tried it on the others and all work fine.

Hope this helps.
