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).

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
