w880i keypad not quite right :P

Hi guys, I just recently flashed my w880i and it works like a dream!
I found out though that the green and red call buttons are now shortcuts for menus.
Everything else is correct, but that last thing isnt right.
I found out why of course, I flashed it with a w880 firmware, and i have a w880i phone, they are almost the same, but a little different :P
I've searched the net for w880i firmware, but can't find anything. The only choice I have is the newest w880 firmware. and it's the best so far.

So the question remains: Does anyone have w880i firmware (not w880)

is there a quick fix to this issue?

as i said, it's just the take/cancel call buttons that arent working :)

This is because you debranded your phone! GENERIC firmware is like that (with shortcuts and not end-receive) so the keypad is right the firmware was not intended for your phone!

this isn't an issue, those function changes as they are generic firmware and your previous firmware is a branded one, so the function differ from branded to generic

well shit happens eh? :)
I tested the phone, everything works fine. I also did a search on the internet on the sony ericsson w880i and I couldn't find any phone that had the make and end call buttons that my w880i from vodafone has so that kinda sucks.
But hey, thats a luxury problem eh?
And I know that the firmware differs from the phone, but this was the only way to remove the simlock.
So I actually know WHY I have this problem of mine, I'm just asking, is there a way to fix this. Please stick to the questions...

well, if you really need that function, flash it with the branded firmware and apply unlock patch again. that will fix you problem, i guess

aye thats true, but then I will have vodafone menus and options. Dont want that...
oh well, this has to do for now ;)

You can seek (google) a patch for W880i (if there is any) that changes the functionality of these keys. Kinda difficult to find, but you never know!
