> In reply to boombox2a @ 2008-09-03 10:09 from wYL% - click to readHi there again. Theres another way to transfer files, it dont use an installation cd or seus
ingredients
1. USB 2.0 All in 1 Card Reader (a card reader where all memory card can be inserted like MMC, M2, SD, Micro SD etc. )
2. M2 memory card with adapter (the memory card for SE k550i)

if you purchased an M2 memory card it have and adapter right? Because the M2 memory card is so small, insert the M2 to the adapter then put it in the USB2.0 ALL in 1 Card Reader. Then just plug it to the usb (p.c.) then go to my computer you will see many drive just open it all to find the M2.

> In reply to boombox2a @ 2008-09-03 10:09 from wYL% - click to readHi there welcome back at k550i forum. Does your created themes have a file extension
.thm ? (Example crystallite.thm) if yes it will work at k550i.

Ingredients for transfering a files
1. DCU-60 usb cable (included at k550i box)
2. Installation software (the cd at the k550i box)
For transfering a files from your phone via p.c. Vice versa, you must install a usb flash driver to the p.c. ( install the included cd software in the k550i box) to detect your k550i as SEMC flash drive. After installing it put the DCU-60 cable at your p.c. then to your k550i your p.c will now recognize it as SEMC flash drive then go to my computer you will see phone memory and phone card (M2 memory card) you can now drag and drop the files.
You can put the .thm (theme file) at any folder.

If you dont have the installation cd. Google SEUS (sony ericsson update service) install it
note: dont update your k550i to SEUS now coz the latest firmware sucks. Just install to your p.c. to recognize your k550i as flash drive.

> In reply to ANIRUDDHA @ 2008-09-02 07:02 from PEFV - click to readAs you can see at camera driver version 2.2 and 2.1 etc. the video frame rate is 30 FRAME PER SECOND and at 2.3 (official default camdriver of k550i)they now change only at 10 FRAME PER SECOND. Thats why many many people modded their camera driver.
