It may be true... You know it's always the best to have the latest firmware in your phone. Use this one you have currently and when the new one comes you can update the phone again...

There are plenty of C702 users around the forum. Just give members some time. They should appear with replies..

the latest FW at the moment is R3CA037, but Hutchson seems to have released a new one R3CA038, although it is believed to be only a minor hot fix. Even the latest FW still has such bugs as reboots and slow SMS input... |

R3CA038 Has only Israel Firmware (Generic)
R3CA037 has all firmwares with all languages.

Hi,
Do you know what else has been updated/fixed. Is the GPS working better? Mine seems to hang after a while when using it. 
Anyone knows when a new firmware will be released at SEUS for the rest of Europe?
Kind Regards

If you are able to pay some euros to TotalGSM you should be able to get the firmware before it is out on SEUS... Contact totalgsm for more info though.

Hi guys.
Let me just say, i am very disappointed in this phone. The last 2 phones i had were the K750i and K800i and I must say this is not a vast improvement on them at all.
Firstly, the LED camera flash produces poor pics at night with all shots coming out in a yellow (outdoors and indoors). i have checked all the settings and no luck whatsoever.
Secondly, due to my provider being O2 in the UK, the GPS and Google Maps functionality does not work at all - I have never got a hold on any satellites in GPS or AGPS mode.Aprt from that i cannot complain however it isnt one step up from K800i (which actually took far better photos.
My question therefore is: do i need to install the new driver R3CA037 - will this rectify the above problems? My software version is currently R3BA035. if so, how do i get it?
Secondly, will the firmware automatically flash the phone so that it is de-branded?
Your advice would be much appreciated in this time of frustration as when i saw the spec it was everything I wanted and still would be if these 2 functions worked propoerly!! |
