All about Sony Ericsson Phones

[ATONG ANG]

Akala ko kasi katapusan na ng phone ko nung nakita kong Operation Failed na yung Games & Applications after kong hugutin yung USB cable sa PC :cry: I've uploaded pictures from my phone, when I was done, I didn't see the icon on the taskbar so I thought I must have already done it or it's just OK to remove the cable. Nung hinugot ko, may error message na sa screen tapos nawala yung theme. Di ko pa agad na-discover na Operation Failed na yung Games & Applications right away kasi na-restore ko pa yung theme. When I was about to play my favorite game, yun na

Just want to ask if anyone has tried "modding" their K750i i.e. flashing the firmware or "tweaking" with the file system files?

Bring it to any Sony Ericsson Shop that accept repairs, there's one in Galleria :thumbsupsmiley:

 

I'm not sure but they may just have to update the software

Thanks sheila!

How about downloading the said software for free????? :thumbsupsmiley: Hehehehehe

[sheila70]

I'm not sure if the software they reloaded on my phone is available online. You might be talking about the firmware update. Basta nung dinala ko sa Sony Ericsson yung phone ko, sabi software update lang. I guess they have to reinstall the original software to get my Games & Applications running again. Updating the firmware didn't solve my problem then.

 

By the way, I've just updated my firmware. It's R1KG001 now. The video preview in thumbnails is no longer available but menu icons are still flashing. Response time is definitely faster :thumbsupsmiley:

[hhhhhmmmmmph]

Question about the phone:

 

On updating firmware:

Will my contacts/phone contents will be deleted.

Or it's better to back-up first before doing an update just to be safe than sorry

 

on external mem card:

will it slow down if i use a bigger memcard

(longer time for accessing files on card)

 

 

 

Insights will be greatly be appreciated

 

THanks

hello fellow k800i owners/users.

 

i just want to share what happened to my k800i more than a week ago.

it went dead on july 1, 2007, while i was texting. it entered what they call the "white screen of death" or WSOD.

i bought it in one of the stores inside alabang town center in january, so no more warranty.

 

after sending a text message, it went off by itself.

when i tried to power it on, all it did was to show a flashing white screen.

i tried to turn on/off the phone for several times, but same result.

i tried re-charging the battery, or remove the battery and turn it on while the charger is plugged in, but same result.

 

so the next move was to try to update the software/firmware via SEUS.

firware update was successful, or so i thought...but when i turned it on, same result - flashing white screen.

 

the next day, i tried to research over the net, and that's the time i found about this WSOD problem.

it's a problem of several SE phones, not only k800, such as k750, w800, etc.

i also found a solution that worked for some users, flashing thru wotanserver.

i tried it several times, but it was also unsuccessful.

 

i looked at this forum, and found shiela's post about bringing it to an SE service center to replace/re-install the firmware.

i brought it to the SE service center at glorietta 3, they tried firware update, but they were unsuccessful too.

they told me they need to bring it to higher level support, but it will take 3 weeks before i could know what is wrong.

 

so, since i was already impatient, i brought it to one of the repair shops at the park square 2 (it was actually recommended by the shop where i bought the phone). the guy said they are using better and more powerful software tools than the ones being used by SE service centers and there were cases wherein SE sevice center could not fix the problem but they were able to. so, there is hope, i thought. i brought it there wednesday of last week, but until now, a week later, the repair thru software is still unsuccessful... he tried all he could to update the firmware using different software tools, but he said that it always fail. he said that it seems the firmware is not saving on the phone's ic memory. so, it could be a hardware problem daw. he doesn't want to open the hardware though because he said availability of parts is a problem for SE phones.

 

so i will pick my phone later, unrepaired....

 

maybe i will just bring it to SE service center and wait for the 3 week diagnostics...

 

any idea guys?

 

 

one thing is for sure, with this experience, i will no longer buy any SE phone from now on, and will tell everyone i know about my experience. when i brought it to the SE service center, the people there said there is a charge of P330 for the firware update becuase i bought it from a store that is not an SE authorized dealer. well, it was not about the money, but i argued. i told them that the problem is a known problem of their phone. it's a software quality problem, not because the phone is old, or misused or i bought it somewhere. i told them a case wherein i bought a canon digital camera from another country. that cam has a known problem in its ccd, so canon posted an announcement in their website that anyone who has the phone can bring it to any canon repair center and they will fix it for free, without the need of any document (i.e. warranty card, OR, etc.). sure enough, when i encountered the problem, i brought it to the canon service center in makati, and they repaired it for free. that my friend is what you call real customer service and good corporate social responsibility!

 

sorry about the long post but i hope you get something positive out of it.
