i've had mine for 2weeks now- but for some reason the option to send texts has disappeared from the menu system!! i have the option to send pictures and video messages but no text. i've done a basic reset-didnt work- so i did a master reset- still didnt work...

im on orange btw- anyone got any helpful tips.. :(

I can't seem to be running the upgrade. It says remove sim card, put batt back in, press C en connect USB cable. I do that (connecting cable while holding C while phone is off) but then I can't go further. I am not getting a next button...

Got a question - does the joystick wear out after some time? I heard from friends that they get broken after around 2 years.

Yeah, mine's worn out pretty bad. I've got to try pretty hard to get the down option to work (k700i) but i've had it a long time now. Just waiting for the K800 to come out! :D

Install the USB drivers from the website. It's a major problem, they should have included better drivers on the CD.

today i managed to see that my battery back cover wasnt really firm and made a gummy noise on my w800i :)

so i searched the forums and saw im not the only one with this problem so i googled and found a nice topic in esato forums that had a nice fix for it, and knowing that the problem is on lot of SE phones i thought i'd share the topic here:

I stated earlier that I wouldn't post anymore, and I wont, but some people here have been very helpful to me, so I'd like to share this to those who had the same problem as me - a battery cover that fits a little loose for the K700i after having opening it a few times (it also happens after a lot of pushing on the keypad).

The reason that the cover gets loose and feels badly fitted is that when it's being pushed in order to take it off, the side part of it is stretch out and looses capability to hold the phone as hard as it takes to feel solid. This also goes for doing a lot of typing on the keypad since that has the same effect (the backside of the phone is pushed a lot while holding at the back of the phone).

Here's the fix: Take the battery cover off. Using your thumb and long finger, push the two sides of the cover hard together so you actually see that they move closer together. Now comes the important part to make the trick work: Hold this position for one minute. It will make the cover stay in this "tighter" form. Now, put the cover back on the phone. You will now experience that it's very very tight to put it back on and the fit is very very solid.

I did it a week ago and the fit has not changed back even though I use the phone very extensively. To push the sides of the cover hard together for a minute makes the shape shange into a position that it should have had from the beginning.

hope it helps those who have the same problem :) cause i got it fixed like that

I'll probably buy one next week, I hope the phone will be good for the next 2 years.

I'm replacing my p800 because that one feels to big and battery needs to be recharged every 2 days while I only send around 5 sms messages a day (no phone calls).

what new java programs (not games) did you install on your k750i?

like e-book readers, photo manipulators, biorythm programs, tv or pc remotes...

The problem with the joysticks is dust not wear. Well im guessing it is because when I took my K750i apart to change the case it had loads of dust under the joystick I cleaned it a bit and it did make a difference. Maybe this is the problem?

Non. Nokia phones excel in this area (Symbian).

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
