So apparently R3BH and R3BA are basically the same software... Then why the difference in Java version?? |

well here's an odd one (found this with my w910i as well).
suffered the random reboot issue and reflashed from davinci the O2 UK
version of the software and the reboot has gone !!
Wonder what O2 have added/taken away that stops or corrects the
problem ?

I've deleted all preinstalled pictures and power-off the phone.
Now It won't power on (it reboots endlessly after SE logo).
I had to use Davinci (SEUS gives an error) to fix it.
Could someone try to delete pics and restart phone to figure if it's a FW issue ?  |

I deleted my pics, like the bridge and such leaving only the caller picture and the SE logo and all seems to be well. |

confirm masterjonny's verdict - deleted all install "crud" using the phones'
own interface and it'll happily reboot - experienced one random un
commanded restart after r3bh002 via SEUS. Reflashed via davinci and it's been fine since.
The only niggles are that G, E and H icons are not displayed all the
time - only when in use

Ok thanx guys, I don't understand why I get this problem. Perhaps hardware issue...

Hello guys, I'am a New user to this forum, however i have been surfing this forum for over 2 years now, i upgraded from k800i to C902 about a month ago and i have a big issue on the c902, I hope someone can help me figure out a solution to this problem..
Everytime i slide open the camera to turn it on, no matter if the m2 is in the phone or not. if its in airplane more or not. the phone freezes for a long time, sometime the only way to get it back up is to take out the battery, I've tried the master reset and my phone is clean now. still having same issue. out of 10 times it might work twice and go into camera mode without freezing.
im running this software R3BA035-Hong Kong.( I got the phone imported from HK to Canada fully unlocked. |

Can someone tell me what bugs/problems the C902 has and;
- If multitasking is slow
- Media player smooth and fast enough (also when playing)
- etc.

ITs Frozen on the Camera screen, like the one before it actually opens up the camera( so its black with a camera graphic)
and The phone is not smooth KillFr3zny, its something i noticed when switching from k800i which was faster. the Media is satisfactory tho, going thru the pics music etc, even playing music thru bluetooth is better then anyother phone. its a good phone im happy with is just the camera thing, maybe a new firmware will fix that when it comes out. |

If your still on R3BA035-Hong Kong there is an update already. I got mine imported from china also with the same firmware. Menu is a bit sluggish compared to the k850i believe it or not, the camera actually is better though.

Is upgrading the firmware hard? i've never done it mostly cause i have a mac, my k800 could use an upgrade as well LOL i still have the Original one. |
