K800 Firmware Overview |

just flashed my K800i R1JG001 with K810i R1KC001 firmware via Wotan Server Client. For the sake of my curiosity. It went smoothly without problem. The flash took about 6 minutes. Here are my findings:
1. The keypad light is troublesome. The light won't turn on on C button, joystick, Back button, left and right softkeys, internet browser button and Activity menu button. The first row keypad, keypad 1, 2 and 3 are dimmer in terms of backlight. Compared to K800i backlight quality, of course this conversion is dimmer. Indeed, in terms of hardware, K810i has the bluish baklight around the joystick and on left side of the body ( Photo Light or something I don't quite remember what it is). So when put in a total darkness, you know what happens. The lights are only seen on keypad row 2, 3 and 4. The row 1 is dimmer..weaker...What a disappointment. I understand it, though, it's a "fake K810i"...LOL...the designer of K810i has created this 'hardware' differences of course.
Anyway when you open the lens cover, the light is just fine on the joystick and the other buttons/softkeys around it..but the keypad row 4 gets dimmer...what a "style".
2. We won't see playing video thumbnail anymore as we find in K800i with R1JG001. When we highlight the video thumbnail, it keeps still just like ordinary jpeg picture file. No playing preview. What a disappointment, really. A step backwards...
3. No "big" improvement in PhotoFix. It indeed makes the darker picture increase in terms of contrast and brightness. I think the ordinary PhotoDJ is enough. Adobe Photoshop will do better.
3. Yes, the TrackID is there. Have no time to check, though. I don't need this feature. I am not a crazy fan of music. Music is just 20% of my life...hehe..
4. The date of firmware shows 070318.
5. Java is updated to version 7.4.
6. Update Service Agent (FOTA) is the same as K790 and K800i.
7. I tried to run SEUS. It recognised this "K810i" as K800i. Funny. It said " Update your phone. File selected APAC". You can conclude what....LOL. I wouldn't know what happen if I continued Continue...it might be turning the phone back to K800i or something...so I exited SEUS.
8. A new game pre-installed there...Extreme Snowboarding.. You'll miss PhotoQuest fishing then...LOL
9. The PC recognises it as K810. But in phone mode, no appropriate drivers are available already at the moment.
10. In conclusion, disappointing. No need to update your K800i to K810i mainly because of the above points I posted.
And finally, I flashed the phone back to K800i R1JG001 firmware. Enough for the experiment. Cheers.

The 0 memory is fixed by R1GB and video preview is fixed by R1JG |

R1JG001 is on SEUS, but probably not for all CDA's and it is also on FOTA.
The 0 memory bug it was solved in R1JG. |

Find 2 new bugs:
After looking at some pictures in the file manager. Thne you go in to the Text Message Editor the last picture you viewed will come as the background.
I know loads of you are probably saying that the joystick has been fixed but it hasn't. It's a pain in the ass, I have air blastered it as well along with that massage thing that aremaboy said.
One good thing:
After updating to R1JG001 you may notice that the phone is a bit slow. But within a few weeks it will be fast again. And if you load a Java game and then reboot it will come up in 2 secs within opening it up.
I have one more thing to add but I have forgot |

I'll try R1KC001 later, when APAC is available. Wotan keeps adding more custpacks it seems. APAC isn't available as of now. |

I updated my K800i to R1J. I found one bug. When I play the video clips, the screen server appears immediately before the beginning of the next clip. Do you face this problem as well? |
