Sony Ericsson :: C905 - Brand New Phone Not Charging / Use Original Battery
Oct 26, 2010
Symptoms: Phone wont charge. right off the box. Says "Battery cannot be charged, please use a Sony Ericsson Battery". It is a Sony Ericsson battery. It is a Sony Ericsson charger. Everything came out of the box.
I just opened it, and first thing I did was plug it into the wall. Now, I have installed the update service, tells me phone is up to date (downloaded straight from sonyericsson.com). I have installed Phone suite 6.01; tried a repair phone, aborts with an error when it comes to the update service (right after the remove batery, press C while connecting phone part). Also same thing with car charger.

Every time I Charge the battery, it goes up to 97 or 98 %, and never pass it, even if I left the phone a whole night. Which means it never fully charge from the first time. And if unplugged it and plugged it immediately it reads it 100% directly.
Note that the problem was in the old software and the new one, I mean this problem isn't a software problem. So does that mean there is a defect in the battery, or that is just normal! " The phone is new I only charged it 4 times, and it happened in 3 of them".

I've had a c905 for 18 months, contract runs out next month and have always had SE phones. I do not like touch screen phones and I don't see anything that's replacing the c905, is there a release date or anything similar to the c905 within the next 6 months?

I am struggling to find a new phone to replace my C902 so I need some suggestions or ill end up having another C902! My criteria:
Must have buttons - I don't mind an element of touch screen but it has to have buttons to text with
Not Smart phone - I use my phone as a phone, not a portable media device to have no use for all the extra features. My main uses are calling, texting and taking photos so I want a decent camera, minimum of 5mp.
I prefer the candy bar style which rules out a lot of phones so I am prepared to be flexible with that. From what I can see there is the Elm coming out but that seems to be a very slightly updated version of the C902, theres the Aino but from reading reviews people haven't been overly impressed with its photo capabilities. So has anyone got any other suggestions for me? I've always had SE but am considering moving to the dark side to find a phone I like/want. Doesn't necessarily have to be brand new either, im even considering looking at the C905.

This is my first post, and y hope this hasn't been answered yet, because i've tried to find the solution but it was impossible.I own a C905 and a Xperia x10 mini. I enjoy the x10 mini but the C905's camera is with difference the best, so i'd like to know if there is a way of turning on the phone and use it as a camera and music player but without simcard, so that i can take it when i go somewhere and i want to take some pics.Let's say i have 2 phones and i'd like to have both at the same time.

I own a C905 which I have had for just over 16 months and I have found it to be an excellent phone however me being a gadget person I need more mainly in the photography department 8.1 just isn't enough. I am looking to find out some information as to why there has been no replacement for the C905, I have my upgrade in a few months and I am beginning to get worried as I am far from comfortable using a touchscreen. A simple re-design of the c905 with the 12mp camera would be fine, something a bit slimmer maybe even if it was a replacement for the Aino which I had been looking at as I own a ps3 and would use remote play a great deal so was willing to sacrifice the added camera quality, but as fate would have it after deciding to upgrade to it my service provider informed me that they no longer stock the Aino. With my upgrade approaching and no sign of a phone to meet requirements in production as of yet I am not sure what to do so really any help or advise would be nice as i am a dedicated sony ericsson fan and really don't want to have to look elsewhere.

I just debranded my ATT c905a and when I ran the sony ericsson updater, it says a new update is available. is there anything bad that could happen by updating since it's debranded? My other question, is it possible to hack this phone to use the radio without an antenna? I did it with my old w580i, but that was some time ago and things have changed since.

When i enter the current status: after around 3 or 5 m. it finds around 3 or 4 satellites and they are located on the top of the screen 2 right and 2 left , they are outside the circle. before updating it could find 1 or 2 max. at same locations , but the new soft finds 4 and faster the old soft was R1FA035 too so it is always searching and never connected.

Slight technical problem with my C905 . Having updated the phones firmware to R1FA035, it has developed some connectivity issues. Firstly, when I now connect the USB cable, the mode menu pops up, but then disappears and the phone does not connect in any way. In addition, I cannot turn on USB charging in the service settings, just says 'charging off' every time. Also when I connect the phone using the 'C' button to boot, it just boots into mass storage mode.windows does not even pick up any hardware connected. Tried a number of cables on 3 different computers. I have tried doing a master reset but no luck. I cant update the phones software to try fix the problem, as USB does not connect. I tried phoning SE, but they just told me to send it off for a fee...and no guaranteed results.

I have W810i and the problem is that it won't charge - i just want to make sure if the problem is in phone battery or faulty charger? The phone was turning itself off when slightly dropped on table and such. But other then that, it was working and today i brought it to the service and the repairman put other charger and it charged, but only after second attempt after he cleaned connectors a little. Now, i brought it home but it won't charge. The other problem is that it was charging only when i squeeze the connector into specific position, so i guess something with the connectors too, but i'm not sure which one, the charger or the phone. So, what do you think?

I use the phone and take a call as normal. Next day someone rings me, they can NOT hear me but I can hear them. I then discover the microphone is only live when in loud speaker mode, it is not a faulty mic as I can speak using it on speakerphone and make recordings.
I have done factory reset, had it to a repair guy who reinstalled all the software and replaced the 'ribbon cable' but the problem remains. Is there a secret 'mute' button that I have missed, is this a button/switch fault, we are totally perplexed.

I have a C905. Few days ago it has started not ringing when a call comes (just vibrating) and also no sound at all when playing music files. It seems that something happens to the loudspeaker.

so what happened was, I got my phone in the mail, I use it for a few hours with occasional texting and my friend calls me, and when I answer, the phone dies. I turn the phone on again to see the battery is dead and it dies again, and before it had 85% battery life left apparently. Now the phone is completely dead, when the charger is plugged in, the red light is on and solid (not flashing or anything), when it is plugged in the computer it is on and solid again, except the computer doesn't see its plugged in.

I recently got this C905. From that day I am not able to get my GPS work. I activated Airtel Mobile office too. I even tried with the Wifi connection. When I go to Wayfinder - Plan rout - A - My Position: I get this error message as" GPS receiver does not receive signals. Please make sure that nothing is blocking the GPS signal (e.g. a roof, building, etc) and try again. I have tried it out even on ground. But is is not functioning. All my other friends can Use GPS from this place from their NOKIA cell, so that means to say that GPS is accessible in the place where I am. Why cant I use GPS.

I need to back up all my contacts to PC. As far as I know the best way to do it is using SE PC Suite (if there is any other simpler ways of doing that please let me know as well) I downloaded latest PC Suite from SE website. Everything is goes well till it starts pairing up C905 and computer. Computer can see the phone, so does the phone, I can establish bluetooth connection from PC own software. But not through PC suite. After I am filling in passcode on the phone, few moments later, there is warning message, that pairing failed. I reinstalled PC Suite few times and it doesn't work. Do I need any specific drivers, for bluetooth to install on my comp? I am using Vista pro.

My C905 shows up on my local wireless network, however when I try to browse it from my Windows machine, it asks for a username and password. I can't see anywhere on the phone to change this setting.
