It's identical hardware, different firmware :blink:

I'm actually looking to flash mine with the W800 firmware, simply :blink: because the media application is so superior. God knows how to do it though, I'll have to look into it.

Any updates on this?

@ Tommy2k4: Indeed.

@ King Mustard: As Tommy said, I meant IR. This app exists for Nokia so Sony Ericsson must have it. ;)

I hope so, changing TV channels in pubs would be hilarious :p

Anyways the problem is still my photographs. Has anyone got an idea on how to improve the quality, I have the same problem as Hidea but didn't really find an answer yet. Do I have to update my firmware? Please help out as pictures are one of the main reasons why I bought this camera and the quality is nowhere near that of Dazzla's.

Mine wasn't and the camera isn't the best thing in the world. The best way to take photos is outside with an excellent source of natural light (not overcase etc.). The photo quality is superb then.

for those of you pondering firmware upgrades....

you NEED to use a data cable, the one that was INCLUDED with the phone is perfectly fine.

To simply upgrade firmware to the latest version, you can go to www.sonyericsson.com/support, and after you have installed the USB and phone drivers, and the SE Update Service, you can flash your phone right there.

However, CONVERTING to another model (K750>w800 and reverse), DEBRANDING, REMOVING SHUTTER SOUND, changing CUSTOMIZATION etc, requires a client like DaVinci Team's software.

It is based on credits you purchase to perform certain actions.

Regarding image quality, ensure that your settings are turned onto FINE QUALITY mode.

Ensure you don't have macro on when you dont need it on, night mode when theres plenty of light (shutter opens for longer exposing more light but ALSO makes it easier to blur your pics), and make sure you are auto-focusing properly.

Newer firmware releases have made some enhancements to picture quality, many claim. I've been using my K750 for about a week now :) (moved up/across from an S700...boy do I miss that HUGE screen!)

Finally, check out some SE communities, they are a wealth of information and nearly every question posed in this thread has been answered...

Hah a while ago this was a huge fiery discussion on Esato and HoFo concerning battery charging...

The basics are this:

Current battery technology is not subject to the 'memory effect' older rechargeables experienced. Battery life will not decrease over time, except past the reccommended number of charge cycles for the battery, which I think is 500 (you could charge your phone once a DAY (which this one doesnt need [my S700 did!]), and be good for 1 1/2 years!

I believe, however, that a good first few charges are important in getting the battery stretched to full capacity. Some people disagree...but I do it just to take good care of my electronics.

I get the phone fresh out of the box and the battery typically has some charge in it. I run it all the way out, or mostly, then charge it up to full capacity, and allow it to 'trickle charge' for many hours. It just tops itself off and charges very slowly after reaching 100%.

But let me make one thing clear about 'draining' it: DO NOT DEEP DISCHARGE! This is bad for rechargeables, as it causes damage. When I conscioutly drain the battery I ll drive it to the point where the battery indicator becomes empty and the phone then says hey youve got a low battery here.

Deep discharging would be allowing a DEAD phone to sit for several days, after the phone dies, turning it back off and on a million times to get it ALL out, and so on.

Bad.

So when it dies, plug it in.

Youve got a battery indicator, it moves to indicate it is charging (youll see the icon 'filling')... and status tells you current percentage.

If youve hit 100%, you can pull the plug, but it doesnt hurt the phone or battery to leave it plugged in (charger has a circuit to prevent overcharging-- this is safe).

hope thats a good answer for you :)

Not as far as I know, you can disable the shutter sound by putting the phone into silent mode though.

Nope, I remain to have the shuttersound even when I am in silent mode...

I hope you mean the sound when you take the picture (the click) by using the term shuttersound.
