Sorry if this has already been mentioned but below the dedicated camera button on the side of the W890i appears to be a LED, whats this one for? |

not sure... it doesn't get a mention in the user guide though it is actually pictured.
I've seen it called a service led but have yet to see it illuminate and certainly doing the LED test in the service menu doesn't light it on mine
I originally hoped it would be like the led on the bottom of the P1 where it flashes for missed calls/texts etc but that doesn't seem to be the case

The LED lights up when you connect it to a PC. |

No, this led lights up when your battery is completly discharged and that you plug in the charger. Since the screen won't turn on immediatly (not enough battery) this led indicates you that it's really charging. |

Hey guys...I downloaded some themes from the URL below for my W890i.
http://www.sethpo.de/Original-SE-Themes.html
But some of the flash themes of other models like C902, C702 don't seem to work in W890i. The flash based grid menu doesn't come up. Only the normal SE grid menu comes up. But the rest of the theme part is OK.
I copied a theme folder called Crystal Line(of C702 model) into the Themes folder on my phone memory. The Crystal Line theme folder contained 3 files. One is .thm file, Second is a Standby screen file and the last is the Desktop file. I suppose this desktop file, which is a Shockwave flash object, is for flash based grid menu. But the flash grid menu doesn't come up.
Any body knows why this happens?

The menu file needs to be copied in a certain system folder, which is currently inacccessible, because the A200 OS is still not supported by XS++ (a program used for flashing).

Yeah.. w890, k850, etc uses 4.6 theme ver.
while w760, c702, etc uses 4.7 theme ver. that support different desktop view like rotating, single, grid, beside original based flash desktop.. And afaik it's built in.. |

@hwars: Nah mate, that's nothing to do with what they're talking about here.

Yes that's what it means. You can still use the themes, but just not the flash menus. You should eventually be able to make the flash menus work, but it will take a bit of hacking into your phone using XS++ or similar. You need to wait until those programs support the newer phones though.

Is there a newer firmware than RF1A030 for W890i?!!
i read that there is since 26/8 in SEUS, and i couldn't download "your firmware is up to date"
(that is what i read,
W890: R1EA033 R1EB005 R1EC001 R1ED001 R1ED003 R1FA030 R1FA035 ) |

If your phone works fine, and i think it does, then IMHO DON'T update the fw.
The new A200 platform is very unstable and SE cannot seem to improve on every new fw update, e.g. K850i latest fw which still causes random reboots 
I feel that the way the W890i is set up, the fw is fast and smooth enough, at least for me...
