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).

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
