Hi, I just got mine k810i 3 weeks ago and it came with R6BC002 firmware but I updated with R8BA025 (APAC) last night via SE website.

Found couple bugs as reported earlier in other topics.

BUGS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- No Chinese writing language available.
- Photo key - Missing highlighted on "Frames" under Camera setting.
- In File Manager, press any button it go to bottom of page.


Improve
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Java 7.7 instead of 7.5 (I didnt notice any speed improvement based on the version it should maybe in nano seconds).
- Battery life longer


Question: Is there any way I able to download back to before R6BC002 firmware or is worth to update this new firmware?

Many thanks,
Eric

thanks kimot01.
Tonight going to downgrade back to R6BC002.

Anyone out there that thinks I should keep R8BA025 as it better, faster, more reliable?

it all depends on how you would use your phone... like with R8B, indeed it process java faster than R6B, and photo management is alot faster in R8B.

this also drains the batt a lil bit faster compared to its previous software. but i dont mind charging my phone every 2days. and everynight perhaps.

so far R8B for me serves good purpose.

I think the new firmware is a god firmware. Why downgrade it?


But how do you download firmware from website? Do you have any link to it?

Hi,
I have successfully downgrade from R8B to R6B firmware

The highlighted frame under camera setting is back and chinese t9 is back too... i noticed saving photo, little bit slow compare R8B firmware. Overall accessing menu is more or less same speed.

Is anyone notice that the photo size taking with R8B is little big larger compare R6B firmware?
R8B = file size around 880-890kb, while R6B = 810-860kb.
I know the driver for camera is the same, maybe i am wrong.

I hope SE is working on new firmware for K810i with more stable and reliable

Hi Sir Msh,
I using XS++ software, it able to help you downgrade or upgrade from any suitable firmware that you can find in net.

hi rockygali,
Photo with frame under camera setting meaning when u switch on camera mode, click on left photo key (or some ppl called it button A, button B).
You will see shoot mode, best pic,.. and frames. Move ur joystick to choose the selection icon. The icon is highlighted with blue outline when u selected and all icons are highlighted EXCEPT "frames" icon. Although it didnt highlighted but it still work prefectly - I guess missing highlighted image or something.
