Is it true that K850 has a common problem for its LCD? Cause I've experienced it and my friend has too.
Now my K850 shows blank screen of black, lights on the keypad and illuminates blue ring light on the back camera cover. I've replaced the battery, SIM and memory card few times but still no response at all.
What's wrong with (my) K850? A failed product?

I, however, would really like to experience the BROD because in the 1 year I have been using this phone I never experienced it. Only then can I recommend solutions for it.

If you have dust in your camera lens, I think you need to have that serviced. You can try a vaccuum cleaner (the one used for laptops) but I don't think it'll work. Replacing the navigation buttons....I don;t have an idea how much it'll cost.

Also there are dust inside my lens screen. How to clean it?
Any sites to download SWF files?
The pics which i copy to my memory card from internet are getting placed in my cam album which is present in the media player.
My navigation key broke. Wats the cost of that key alone?

And also i have replaced my connector point with new one with the service center. I think so the battery may be a problem. How much the new battery costs.....
Is there any software to increase the dpi in our photos?

I own these phone for about a year now..
and it works great...even thow i have other phones
i only used this for m.Media purposes..
and it supports 8gb of mmcard..
a lot of pictures to be taken..
but what i really hate about it is the BROD
time to time i have to restart mine,to avoid Being BROD!
all in all buy this if you have other phones as a backup in case of some of it's faulty features.

The ones I know of are in SM North, Trinoma, Robinsons Galeria. it's most probably a firmware issue. Some cellphone repair shops might also be able to help you with it. Although it is rare, I have seen one cell repair shop in caloocan tear down a K850, isolated the problem, and assembled it back up and running. The only limitation they have (based on my interview) is that is it's an issue with the circuitry then they can't fix it because it's pretty hard to get info about the inner-workings of most SE phones (K850 being one of the toughest ones).

Check if the simcard is secured tightly. Things like that happen to me only when I hotswap sim cards. I reckon if your card gets loose, it acts as if it's refreshing the system. What do you usually do to rectify the problem and get it back working? BTW are you from the PH?

So....get worse or get better? Any other opinions out there?
I would say that the camera lens opens properly about 80+ % of the time in the 3 days I've had it

If it is a physical problem then expect it to either get worse or get resolved by itself (i am basing this on the fact that it opens when you tap it). I personally never encountered a problem like that for the last 12 months i've used the phone.

Just got the K850i off ebay, sent from China. Seems great, but a couple times the camera lens cover would get stuck when powering on the camera. It seems to respond to the tapping trick to get it to open.
Is this problem something I can expect to get worse? Any good fix?
I can try to return it (possibly a hassle) and risk getting a worse lemon, or is this a stable problem that I could maybe live with? So far it isn't a huge bother, but it would be nice if it weren't an issue at all.

I am not sure if it will slow down but SE phones (especially this one) has been known to perform good even when pushed to its capacity limit unlike Nokia phones who guarantee 4GB but slows down at 2GB.

Hi everyone. First of all, this is a phone Ive had for around a year and its still going strong, though its not without problems. But then again, no phone is perfect now.
Id just like to know if anyone has put an 8GB memory card in this? I have a 4GB, but still want a bit more memory. I just want to know if it would work in the phone/ slow it down.
Thanks
