IT's an AP phone. I remember using SEUS on my K750i before.....doesn't flash.....I don't think Sony Centre will flash it either.

^ Mine's an AP set as well. Flashed with SEUS with no problem smile.gif
But now using FW R1FA037 flashed using A2uploder. You should try that too.

Why did you flash using A2uploader?? What's the diff??

Sorry for so many questions, I don't want my phone to not boot up after flashing.....ahahaha... SEUS will look for the latest and flash right?? Will it delete all your themes and what not?

^ I flashed using A2Uploader because I wanted to update to FW R1FA037. I can only update up to R1FA035 if I used SEUS. And it's much easier using SEUS smile.gif.

BTW, SEUS will look for the latest FW and flash it if there's any available. IIANM, updating with SEUS will not delete your themes but I'm not sure about your contact list and the rest. Better backup all those first before flashing just to be safe.

I uploaded through SEUS last night and as expected, I got the R1FA035 FW. Nothing much to complain I guess, it's alot faster than my prev one now. It keeps your themes but not your settings,msgs and phone contacts smile.gif. Basically wipeout your phone and it's like a new one after flashing. smile.gif

Why isin't R1FA037 on the sony database?? Is it a beta FW?

^ Glad to hear that. IIANM, the R1FA037 FW is actually just a branded R1FA035 made available for certain region. For example :- Orange, 3, Vodafone. But I just flashed it to R1FA037 anyways out of curiosity and found it to be a little bit faster. Or maybe it's just a placebo effect.smile.gif

The interface is certainly faster compared to my old fw. One thing I'm wondering, is there any option to adjust the antenna strength? I'm getting very flaky connection with Digi from my room. sad.gif Is there a power saving feature that lowers the antenna's power?

Also, do you guys have problems hearing your friend's voice through the handset?? The sound that comes from the handset in a call is very muffed. Imagine....alot of bass.....so what people saythrough the phone is very blur.....another has that problem?? It happens with handsfree als. sad.gif

Theres no such options to control the signal strength  rclxub.gif
I got no problem listening to the "other" voice wor, your earpiece problem ? bad signal or your "other" microphone problem ?

I'm using digi now, inside my room the signal also 3 bar only, sometimes 0  vmad.gif

I guess I was pressingthe phone too close to my ears that's why it's happening.

As for digi....they really suck. LOL
