hi guys, i just bought my K800i awhile ago.

I have a weird O2 icon in my menus, is it possible for me to change the menu to the actual default? if so, how? hope any guru can teach me, thanks.

That's weird, my friend pulak say N73 takes better pictures than K800i but I told him bluntly that N73 got more bugs than K800i. Actually, I don't see the need to take videos with a handphone, if it's that perfect, I guess nobody will buy a camcorder liao and IMHO, K800i is just a thousand plus, we shouldn't expect too much ler, don't forget, last time a Nokia 8210 costs about RM1800 when it was first launched. Comparing this to what we have last time, it's a giant leap liao.

Well, 5MP phones will be the norm in the future but of course, higher MP, means larger pictures, so indirectly, you'll need to buy a bigger memory card but if for sending pictures out via MMS, we gotta resize them so sometimes, it's pointless to shoot in 5MP unless you wanna view it on your pc or tv. There's one thing I really want, how about an integrated tv tuner whereby we can watch tv programmes on our handphone for free.


Price will surely drop if you can wait longer but don't you think you should buy before CNY? New phone to usher the new year?


Have you tried downloading new themes to your phone? See if the icons will go away if you apply the new themes? If it's a yes, then borrow a K800i phone from your friend and copy the themes to your phone and apply them. I'm just suggesting this to you, if it doesn't work, please don't kill me. I'm trying to help, okay?

my k800i sent for repair already more than 2weeks...still havent done.......

dynacommunication at suria klcc that one always just say "we will call u back when it was done" zzzzzzzz i listen for this more than 10 times.......

can't they be more efficient?

If I'm you, I'll take it back and bring it to another service centre. Yours a Midland set if I'm not mistaken. 2 weeks is a freaking long time to repair a phone. Either take it back or ask them to change a new phone for you.

Sorry to inform you dude, your case is just like mine. Your firmware version is from Europe and if u need chinese, i mean input and reading, you will need to reinstall the whole firmware, like flashing.

wuu it doesnt work

i must find a way to remove it, i think the icon is there cus my phone is AP and its not a local set or anything, even the manual is in some weird language. I must find a way to remove it. Thanks for trying to help though.

One thing i'm really pleased with this phone is its Camera, the best camera phone i have ever tested, really nice clear pics, especially in the dark

Could you take a picture of the icon that you're talking about so that I have a clear picture. Hope you don't mind. Just wanna help you that's all. I'm sure the other sifus here if you have some pictures to show them.

Hmm ..... strange , very seldom I see people with K800i AP sets that have an O2 icon. Your AP set can't support Chinese text, right? Just wondering since you mentioned it's from O2.

yes it cant support chinese text, and i have no other digicam to take the pic with, but the normal and should-be "globe" or "www" icon changed to O2 logo, when i click at it, it straight go to some O2 site in weird language. they changed a total of 2 icon in the menus, both reflecting O2 stuff. 1 is O2 site, another the bookmarks become O2 crap as well.

the menu icons are named "O2 Active" & "O2 Bookmark" both are at the first two icons top left beside the game icon.

sure arr the cx300 is cost rm255-300 in the market?
if does... that really good deal then...
how bout the warranty haaa??

yours maybe came from europe leh .
what i can see from europe K800i . mostly its SE K800i O2 .

yes, most probably cus i did asked for a no-chinese character support phone. I'm just wondering if the icons can be changed to normal default ones.

yea its like that, even my fren's set he bought from aussie.. from a company called 'Three' they replaced the globe thing with '3'.. pressing it will direct u to their service or sumthing, the keys are different from our normal set.. n if im not mistaked the 'menu' button on the main screen is replaced by something else also...
i guess if u dont wan all taht u have to flash ur phone.. but the u'll have to live with the keypad wiht the o2 sign

must flash it izit? hmm, will try that soon. thank god i dont have any O2 icons on my keypad, theyre just software.

Yes, Need to flashing again to standard SE firmware.. this K800i can update via SEUS or not? if yes maybe can throw away o2 icon.. But, your warranty must be AVOID .

woh, the warranty will void ah if i flash? hmm, a risky move. anyway it actually doesnt bother me much, only that i would like it more if it was the original SE look. And i dont need chinese text input or support, i cant read nor write it.

just curious, where can i do this flashing? is there a software i must download? if so where can i get it? thanks.

yeaps. you phone under O2 K800i, and maybe your warranty on it.
if you flash it , its mean u changed whole firmware, thats mean no more O2 thinggy in it.
if your phone called 'O2 K800i bla bla' on your warranty card,. please dont leh.

if its just SE K800i,. maybe u can give a try

today i asked some guy in sgwang.
and yeah they did Walkman series speaker modified into K800i ,
mostly K750 did changed their speaker to w series speaker.

can believe ar ?



now i realised teh video recording is not really nice.
but i dont care about since i'm into photography
still doing experiment to get best of the best shot for every scene.
going to buy 512mb or 1gb M2 card soon

btw the bluetooth headphone price ?
i did surf on SE Malaysia site. no price.

you can send back to the distributor you purchased from

or you can send to any shop to flash but your warranty will void

That's the trouble with AP sets, you need to ask the seller carefully where the set is from, it came be O2, Vodaphone, Orange or any other telco companies, the logo / icon might look cool to some but when people just glance at your phone, he or she will know that's an AP set. The trick is to get an AP set but to pretend like an ori set if they're virtually identical. Flashing the firmware is a bit risky, maybe you should contact the distributor or seller to 'kau tim' this for you if the icon thingy is bugging you.


To be honest, CX300 is not available in Malaysia but people that import it into our country are selling at this price range. Warranty, the seller settle for you, he has mentioned it clearly so you no need to worry.


The internal speaker, ar? It's true, you can do that, it only goes louder but the quality is not as good as the ori speaker, if your main priority is louder and not the sound quality, you can do this minor upgrade but of course, not during your warranty period. After lah.

to all sifu i just bought thisprecious phone yesterday...i transfer wmv video files to the phone but cannot play..why r? please help me..
