I bought a SE Xperia X8 last year, as my first touch phone, (and the only one from Sony Ericsson). However, after "updating" to the old Android version of the firmware to 2.1-update1, I heard that Sony Ericsson wouldn't give out anymore updates for the phone, mainly because it is considered an outdated phone (which it is, because of the old firmware. (The hardware supports kernels and firmware up to the latest Android 4.0 without any problems if you are a developer!) And this was a phone that I bought NEW in the stores December last year! Incredible, to say the least.Shouldn't the warranty go both ways? So that the customers are ensured updates to a "relevant" version of the firmware, so that we can use the latest software that's released? Have SE missed this?
I will never again buy a Sony Ericsson phone again, the pro models were left to Samsung's department, and I really love the Galaxy phones!And I have owned only Sony phones since I switched from Nokia 3230 in the 1990's! (All the T28,K310,K610,K810i,W595,W995 and the whole range.)So basically, my question is. Why can Sony Ericsson leave tens of thousands of X8/X10 owners "in the dust/to die" within a single year after I've purchased the X8? Ok, it's an entry-level phone, but it, and the customers DESERVE to get support for it for AT LEAST a few years after purchase. The customers have a one to 5 year warranty, depending on the laws in the individual countries, here in No(r)way, the warranty is 5 years on electronic products that "are supposed to last", like TV¨'s, phones, computer equipment etc.I don't understand how Sony Ericsson isn't able to see the value the entry level customer have, I mean; these are the people that will buy the "Pro" models if they are satisfied with the entry level phones. I am sure SE have lost HUGE amounts of money and sales because of this! Could anyone from Sony Ericsson please tell me why the Xperias were abandoned? And does any other customers feel "let down" by the service these phones have gotten?
I'm trying to download a new software update for my W760a, because it tells me it cannot add anymore contacts and I can't recieve or send texts/ phone calls. When I try to go to the software updates on the W760a hompepage, it loads a blank page. It just says on the tab "Sony Ericsson Support Phones Topic Updateserviceapplication W760a", and loads a blank page. Please help me with this problem as I wish to continue using my new phone.
I thought I may start an Elm/Hazel thread for discussion as it seems many of you have one of the two phones now. I wanted to do this to discuss any problems with things like firmware & issues & other stuff rather than discussing this in the picture thread.

I think the fone fell, cause it was dusty or maybe its because it was charged using the USB cable. What can be the possible cause of the phone not to turn ON?
As the title implies, I need to ask if there are varying kinds of Sony Ericsson LCD screens for the G705 or if there are variations in models made. Nearly 6 months ago I bought a Sony Ericsson G705 phone off eBay that only needed a new LCD screen. Well I purchased a screen off eBaand was good to go except for a few minor issues... 1.) The LCD screen had a thicker screen/border than the original so I had to mod it by taking off the white border around it. 2.) The ribbon that connects the LCD screen to the G705's keypad wasn't aligned correctly causing it to disconnect from the keypad every so often. This too I had to fix by sticking some paper underneath where the connector sits. It worked after the modifications but the end result is the keypad was raised causing issues where pushing the up key would force it to push the left key too. Unfortunately after awhile the screen stopped working likely due to the fact the different layers were separating. I gave in and bought a new screen from an online dealer elsewhere just to get scammed in the end with a broken LCD screen which they refused to replace claiming I cracked it. So now I've purchased a new screen of eBay yet this one has issues too, it's thinner than the first one I got, but has the same problem where the ribbon doesn't appear to be aligned correctly either. This time however, I get some ugly dead pixels in the lower left corner of the screen and the rest is completely jumbled with white lines going through it. I've already contacted the seller for an exchange and am about to lose all hope getting this phone working. Anyway, back to the topic. Do the screens in the G705 vary from region to region or between versions? When I got it I found the phone was from Hong Kong (firmware was HK anyway.) though the manual and included paperwork suggested it was from France. The screens I have purchased seemed to have varying differences between either the thickness is too wide, the ribbon doesn't fit the correct position, or some other incompatibility. I bought this phone.
Please help someone I have encountered my first Elm problem. Over night I charged the phone & this morning it's still charging & will not pass 66% charge. I took battery out put back in & charged with the phone off for another hour. When switched back on it was now @ 65% This was after another hour of charging with the phone off. I then did a master reset of all not just settings. Charged it up again for a further hour & still the charge is not increasing. Please help what the hell is going on? This battery has a mind of it's own. I have a feeling something has occured since I kept plugging & unplugging quite often the phone in & out of my pc. So maybe it's caused this I do not know. Please any suggestions this phone has been reliable upto this piont Esato Awards King of Garbage 2009/2010 & Best Debater 2009 x10 & Nokia N8

My Sony Vivaz was working properly and then suddendly applications stopped working. Then I noticed the applications I had installed in the memory card are not longer displayed on the screen, and when I try to take a photo it says there is no memory card and that they will be stored in the phone's memory. Additionally, when I try to reinstall the applications I always get the message File error. What is happening to my phone? How can I fix all these problems?
I bought a new sony spiro this weekend and so far has been a pain in the back. It resets when I try to access the camera, sometines it stops playing music at random times, or it simply stops reading my micro sd. Today I installed the newest firmware, but still the same problem continues.
should E75 owners just give up and move on? An official statement from Nokia would be very appreciated. It can't (afaik) be a technical reason, as it is available for the E71 (older, similar HW).
Im sure your loving your Nexus One as much as me but there is one thing missing from this AMAZING phone... Turn by Turn Navigation. One reason why I was so excited about this phone was the Turn By Turn Navigation feature. No where does google say that the turn by turn feature is restricted to America.Lets shine some light and get this fixed. They now ship the phone to Canada and this feature should be available in Canada too.
I have the impression that perhaps everyone has their very own, personal iPhone. But in our case, my wife and I share one (so far) that we just received. Reading up on Siri, I gather I (John) am suppose to introduce myself to Siri, tell Siri my wife's name, and get Siri to recognize my voice. But can my wife tell this same Siri who her husband is? Will Siri learn to recognize her voice? Or will all this overwhelm Siri?
Excuse me for asking this question that may have been answered in another thread.I run a website of my own with a lot of Mac owners. We talk about iPhones as all of you do here. We are just much, much smaller. It seems that many people who bought the 3GS when it went on sale in June of last year are eligible for the discount upgrade. Then there are others, like myself, who are not. I am eligible in February 2011. Has anyone figured out why that is? Now, mind you, I am certain of the fact that quite a few of our forum members bought a 3GS last June and entered a 2-year contract. We are assuming perhaps it has something to do with how much money you spend each month with AT&T. It is being suggested that if you have a lot of service with AT&T and pay a hefty bill each month they will automatically grant you the upgrade pricing.
I'm from Australia and I'm trying to sign up to the BlackBerry Owners Lounge. I got my first BlackBerry 9700 on the weekend.When I complete the form and press "Next" it just reloads the registration form with all my information I've entered gone and with no sign of me making any errors. I've also checked my mailbox and have not received any confirmation or notification emails.So how can I properly sign up to the Owners Lounge being the new BlackBerry user that I am.
what is meant and process is by exchanging our phones for technical support entails. I wouldn't mind at all to help out, just need to know the procedures, cost if any, location,etc.
I bought my friends CS from her and we are not able to delete her email account. We have tried selecting delete, it responds but doesn't finish, it keeps saying 'Deleting account' how to delete her account?
I recently inherited a Curve 8530 from a previous employee at my company that still has his email associated with it. The phone has been given a new number w/ data plan, but in order to remove the old email account I need the old email password. The company no longer has contact with said employee, and so I am stuck with a phone that I am unable to use email on until I find a way to remove the old account. Is there any other way of doing this?
is the Call Log icon the phone application icon referred to in the owner's manual? The thing is I want to change my ringtone and I cannot for the life of me figure out how.
Another problem, I want to update to OS 5.0 and I cannot clear enough of the Application memory off of the BB to do so. I got it down to where I need to clear 3MB off, and I don't have anymore Apps to Uninstall! Funny how I have 900 MB on my device memory free and 1.8 GB on the media storage, but I can't make anymore room on the Application memory partition! I just want to update the software!
I am having trouble with the GPS on my vivaz.The problem is that it seems to be having trouble finding the satellites and at best only picks up one, giving me a message that says "GPS works poorly indoors and in enclosed areas".I have had the phone for about two months now and it did work perfectly at first, I have fitted a zagg invisible skin to the phone and cannot recall if I had used the GPS with it fitted but have tried with the back cover removed and the invisible skin peeled back where the GPS sensor is located but to no avail. Can anyone help or is it a warrenty issue?
Accuracy of the gps on my elm. from wisepilot, chose options-settings-gps but it always says no gps coverage. i have another gps equipped phone and it is able to detect 7 gps satellites from the same location. has anybody experienced problems with the elm's gps and how did you fix it?
I got my satio in may and didnt even have it for a month before things went wrong. firstly, i was never able to send a MMS to a virgin mobile phone. and then i wasnt able to send a text message to anyone. i called SE and they did all this stuff and called my carrier AT&T and nothing was wrong with my service because i put my SIM in my old phone and was able to send MMS and SMS. so SE said i had to send my satio in for repair(why they didnt just replace the phone i have no idea) and now i am waiting for parts. its been 2 weeks since i sent my phone in. and now i hear there isnt going to be another update? theres slight problems with this phone that if were fixed, it would beat the iphone and droid by a mile. i was just getting used to my satio and then i had to return it. they say i probably wont get it back until the 8th of july. thats just crazy in my opinion. why didnt they just replace the phone? when i looked into the satio as my new phone it looked so cool and when i got it i was so amazed by it. i even got a manuel in a different language, had to call SE and they said they wont send me an english manuel and that i should just look it up on their website since they update the software a lot...well apparently they dont since they havent updated it in months. to say the least, i am disapointed in SE with their future of the satio.
I can't decide should I buy Elm or Hazel? I heard about all those firmware update and thats new to me, because I never did anything like that to my old K750i. Is it neccessary to update to the latest firmware? I've also heard that Hazel has a lot of bugs. Is that truth? And recharge problems, are they that bad as they say? I've recharged my K750i for about every 2 weeks.
In a usage time of this phone I had a problem with function Wi-fi. At connection to ad-hoc networks the exchange of packages does not occur. What should I do? I tried to adjust ip-addresses and a network mask manually, to change cryptography techniques, but it hasn't helped.
im not able to send any texts from my vivazpro. it remains in my outbox. i checked with the network people. they said its nothing to do with my sim service.
I bought my cell in June 2009, it works perfectly fine. I used to use wi-fi nearly 5 times in a day (my house has wi-fi) And suddenly about a month back, my wi-fi has stopped working. I mean, it doesn't detect any available networks at all. Earlier it used to automatically detect my home network, but now even if I try to search available networks it shows a blank list - I have even tried searching in places like airports, hotels, etc. as Wi-Fi was one of the main reasons I bought this phone for. I'm having a hard time without it.
our universiry has an open wireless network. for using the internet we have to connect to a VPN with a dialer-VPN. with my elm i can access the wireless with Wi-Fi but how can i set up my VPN username and paaword to use internet? i create an internet connection in my phone and set the username , password and set the APN to the IP address that dialer-VPN connect to. But it didnot work. is there another way to set up a VPN wser , pass and ip?
