Guys compare with samsung slider mobile. Does this W850i face broken ribbon problem? How much for the geniune replacement for the ribbon and if i may ask the slider thinggy as well.

the flex ribbon which joint the upper part with the bottom wan. Get what i mean? So if the phone gets see-saw what should i do? Is there any way to solve it or just change the slider?

yeah i knew it. hmmm so should i just leave it? And do you own W850i? hows the slider condition?

Go se-nse.net forum download the XS++ 3.0 get ur CID update to CID 52 red then this will solve ur problem.

Still R1kg001

What u mean u wan to get your game back?
The pre-install game cant be deleted even if its deleted you just master reset and it will restore it. We use this XS++ to flash firmware of the phone and mod things such as sounds, camera, and so on. You refer to the forum there are lots of info u need to know there cheers. And to get the firmware file u need to access topsony.com well this is a problematic forum they need you to post 20 post in order to get access to the firmware section. You can also buy the access point if u r capable of it. hahaha.

Added on November 2, 2007, 2:58 pmWell thats cheap and has someone here having trouble with the slider ribbon. This W850i is the first slider phone i used. I wonder how lasting is the ribbon. As i seen samsung slider phone having broken ribbon and end up the LCD wont lid on just the keyboard part functioning. And do u know the price of changing the original ribbon? Oh yeah another question i wonder if my phone don't list where is it manufacture is it a sweden product? Cause i cant find any MADE IN CHINA or MADE IN SWEDEN on the label. Mine is AP set.

Haha i think is an OEM lo. Thats why they don list it. By the way i thought urs is original sony ericsson?

Buddy what firmware version u recommend? R1KG001 or R1JG001? Alot ppl complain that R1KG001 comsume alot battery power is it true?

Cause just wan to know the ribbon price in case it snap in the future. lol I kinda like this phone.

Hmmm now i m running on R1KG001 so far this firmware don have video preview onli and the battery has no problem unless u always wake up your phone on sleep mode. By the way DFlo have u change the hairline crack part? Mine crack d T.T on the bottom part haie. Anyway 1 line does not affect anything rite? Should i change? By the way the crack occurs on long term usage or factory defect? Cause i don know when it get crack cause mine is in black lol i just notice when i take my time and look at it.

Thanks buddy, I guess i wont be changing for the time being since just onli 1 crack unless the hole thing koyak then change la haha. Further more i wan to change the whole faceplate cause my screen calar d. By the way for the GAME A button on this phone mine i found is kind of hard to press i found that i need to use slighty more pressure compare with Game B button is it common or another factory defect? And another has anyone have 0% scratch on the keypad cover underneath the slider? For the firmware issue R1KG001 got slightly better performance compare with R1JG001 but not energy efficient. For the stability the bug occurs when u set to flash theme, u will find that the activiy menu laggy and is a terrible lag but in R1KG001 the case solve but it still produce small lags.

In terms of function both of this model i can see no difference. Bout the built factor W580 has better D-pad compare with W850i D-pad which will crack if harsh use. And the memory card type difference. I prefer W850i looks althought the built factor of the D-pad is not very solid. For girls definately go for W580i cause it looks neat.

If I'm not mistalen, iRonTech told me that the new D-pad for the W850i is of better quality, more solid.

No matter how solid it will still tear 1 day haha so don bother about it just use happily.

Added on November 8, 2007, 8:52 pmBy the way to be frankly i felt like i have phobia on this phone i scared the slider ribbon break so much haha i wonder how many slides can it stand. Hope i can use this phone for longer time. Althought the housing not so cantik dah haha.

Anyway don just judge from the phone screen, try to put the pic into your computer screen and see. I support nokia for image quality cause less sharpness compare with sony just why ppl say sony pic is nice, cause sony got darker colour ma and nokia dont ma. As i say if u wan more to image go for camera. For me 2MP camera for phone is enough to make me sattisfied, at least i can see pic detail enough compare with 0.3mp wan lol. Music is much more important and i believe that everyone use their handphone as mp3 player or portable radio nowadays right?

thanks for consulation hehe.

Actually leh why update with SEUS? I use it just to update my CID onli. And flashing is just as simple as 1 2 3 and a little bit of luck haha. Well let me explain main is the firmware part and Fs is the file system which consist of sound driver camera driver and sms storage and so on for main is the operating part and u don wanna mess it up lol. CDA string is a custom file which mean all the operator code is set in and some presets like when u master reset it sets back what file should be set (language presets). Ok is true that SEUS cant update AP phone but not all it all depends on CDA strings. CDA string is also like product code for the phone. For AP they do it this way they flash the phone with latest firmware and finalize (customize it) with different phone model with the same region of the firmware i have tested and it work out that way. So in order to get it fix so u can flash with SEUS u need to find the proper customize file( same model and same region). To flash go SE-NSE.NET and download the XS++ 3.0 and for driver since u have SEUS don delete it cause we need the phone driver to operate and don worry it wont crash. For the firmware and CDA well this is the toughest part u need to find it at TOPSONY.com unfortunately they set their terms and conditions u need to post 20 non spam message and wait for their activation. Then they will give 50MB download limit for you to download the firmware and CDA and so on. If u finished it u need to wait 2 months for them to top up ur limitation and that sucks. But i can give u the firmware if u wan but i onli have R1KG001 firmware include the CDA. Tell me if u wan it. O yeah keep it secret though cause i might get banned by topsony for supplying their firmware hehe.
