Sony Ericsson :: C905a - Connecting Phone To Internet Via Laptop
Jan 7, 2010
Some Background Information
-Rogers Sony Ericsson C905a With No Data Plan/Data Blocked
-Alienware M17x
So I want to connect my Phone which supports WiFi to my Laptop which is connected to the internet through wireless. I've tried to look online and so far there seems to be 2 possible ways.
Ad-Hoc: I tried creating a Ad Hoc connection via Network and Sharing Center>Set Up A New Connection Or Network>Set Up A Wireless Ad-Hoc (Computer to Computer) Network on Windows 7. When I searched for WiFi connections on my phone I did find the network I created but I couldnt go on the internet. BTW, when I create a AdHoc network, even my laptop is not connected to internet because I can only connect to one at a time meaning that I cant connect to my wireless.
Bluetooth: I believe that my laptop (Alienware M17x) has bluetooth. But I never really used it. Anyone know how to get internet on my phone via bluetooth?
Side Question: BTW, is there anyway to integrate maps into Google Maps 2.3.x? What about street view? Or can I somehow make Google Maps download the maps when I am connected through WiFi and store them so I can see them later.
I recently debranded my C905a and I want to know if anyone knows for a fact that if by doing so I have reduced my phone's ability to mainain a decent reception signal. If I remeber correctly, I had the same problem before I debranded. I've called Sony Ericsson about the low reception strength and they told me that it was a network problem. I know that is not true b/c before the C905a, I was using a Nokia 2610 (a cheapie until I could upgrade) and that phone always had a signal virtually anywhere and I can count on 1 hand how many dropped calls I had using that phone. I do live out in a semi-rural area but, my mother has a Nokia 6555 (I live w/ her) and she does not have the problem with dropped calls like I do. But, w/ the C905a, I have to put the phone on speaker 3/4 of the time b/c when I put the phone to my ear, it simply looses all reception. The closer to the city I get, the reception problem becomes less an issue.
Im having trouble with connecting to the internet via wifi. ( i just got this phone) it connects to my router and says "connected" etc. But when I use the browser or any internet based app it says "communication error. try again, turn off wifi or contact your provider for support". Also what is ps data and cs data?. Anyone has any idea on how i can fix this?
Just wanted to know what web browser everybody is using on their c905a? Is it MediaNet,UC Browser, or Where (thats all I know of) Which one works best for you?
How can I sync the calender and contact in my at&t C905a to the new at&t Xperia X10? On AT&T's site,it says to use PC Suite,which I already have in my notebook pc to back up and sync with Outlook in my pc. Is this true? And why can't I sync using SE Sync? Is it because the phone (C905a) is locked out?
I am trying to debrand my SE phone, using this article as a guide: http://www.associatedcontent.[....]nd_a_sonyericsson.html?cat=15. I installed all the necessary programs and drivers, created an .xml file (for generic American version), transferred it to phone, tried SE Update Service, no go. Says I already have the newest software. I tried creating a new .xml file, but this time using Western Europe instead of America. Still, Update Service says my software is new enough. Then I tried going back and creating a generic American .xml and using Update Service to reinstall my OS, but that only reinstalled the old and customized AT&T OS which is what I'm trying to get rid of. So my questions are: 1) I was sort of reluctant to debrand in the first place, but what is the worst thing that can happen if debranding fails? 2) Is there some other CDA number I can use (instead of America/W. Europe) and still be able to use my phone with my service provider? Perhaps Central or Eastern Europe?
is it possible to get wifi on my c905a without debranding it? I thought i heard somewhere that just downloading opera's mini browser allows you to use wifi to surf the web?
I'm thinking about buying a C905a and debranding it. But before I do I was looking to get some info on tethering. Currently I use a v3xx and tethering is easy has hell with my macbook. Just plug it to the laptop via usb and click "connect". Can anyone comment on the tethering experience with a C905a? Any info would be of great help.
Can anyone teach me or give me a good guide on debranding a Rogers SE C905a? Cause most of the ones available are either for AT&T or outdated. I want one that is most updated.
Does anyone know if the theme creator app. that you can download from the site is compatible with the C905a. I have windows vista and I could not download my theme that I had created either by USB connection or Bluetooth.
I really love my C905a, and I was even thinking about buying a backup. I take a Lot of pictures, and having a cell camera of this quality is a must for me now, and it must also have xenon flash, and also work on AT&T 3G in USA. Do you guys know of any comparable phones in the pipeline with the camera specs of the C905 that will work on AT&T? I would even consider the Satio, but I hear it won't work on AT&T in USA. Is there anything else coming? or should I hurry up and buy a backup C905a before they are really hard to find?
If I enter the C905a menu (right, star, left-left, star, right)I can not activate USB Charging.it is stuck in the OFF position.My phone will however charge when plugged into my PC by does not charge when plugged into my car.any idea how to change this?
My C905*A* Stay with Me, but, I don't know. I can De-branding C905a To C905 SW R1FA035? Don't have Any Errors? I Want Put New Driver's, Patch's and Elf Loader In my C905. But I Don't know About The Risk to De-branding The "A" to "I" Or C905 Only.
I just started having problems with the camera in my C905; all the pictures now look blurry, out of focus. The phone was purchased in Dec.2009,and I have contacted SE CSR and will be shipping the phone in for repair. What causes this condition?
As of now I have the silver C905a for At&t. I'm getting kinda tired of the silver and am pretty sure I'm gonna get the black C905a housing. Curious to see if anybody else has done this for their C905a?
I just got a AT&T C905a today. The first thing I did was debrand it using WotanServer.com.
The debranding went perfectly, not any problems to report.
But afterwards, I can no longer receive calls. I can make them just fine, but if someone tries to call me they get an automated message saying I am unavailable. Also if I call voicemail it says my mailbox is not setup.
The AT&T rep at the store did successfully call my phone before I left. So it was working before the debranding.
Out of suddent i cant access my phone to transfer file. the only folder which appear is MTP Device however the content is empty.i have uninstall the application & hopefully i can start fresh.but again n again only MTP Device folder appeared.i have try to attached my phone to other laptop but its running as usual.i also cant access my files using SE PC Suite.
I am a new user of viva pro. I like to ask u all about the USB connection to PC. My phone cannot connect to the PC while the phone is on and only can connect while is OFF.
I have three problems with my W995a:1) When I'm texting, the backlight keeps changing how bright it is, when I'm texting it will sometimes go quite dark then other times quite bright (not a major issue)2) When I was calling someone, the phone just turned off and I lost the call, I rung the person back, then shortly after connecting the call, they couldn't hear me so I hung up and rang again. Shortly after ringing again, the phone turned off again.3) And finally - my biggest problem right now, is that I just bought a USB cord to connect it to my computer, yet when I do, it keeps on disconnecting from my computer then reconnecting (even though it's plugged in). This makes it impossible to do anything with it.
Recently my c905a has become unable to playback certain videos, the last 20 or so i have taken. The videos can be played immediately after recording, but later if attempted have a broken film icon instead of thumbnail and if tried to play the message "Currently Unavailable appears". This is not consistent however, a few videos in the middle of the 20 are playable. Their sizes are all varying, settings on each video are the same. I thought that they were possibly not playable on my phone so i moved them onto my computer - same issue, E.M. Total Player fails to open the videos. I hope someone can help me with this. I was counting on these 8.1 MP to record some good material for an oral presentation and final presentation for the chinese class i'm taking right now. I picked up great material, the base of the two projects. These projects are 40% of my grade and need to be presented in 2 and 3 days! How can i salvage these videos? Every video lists appropriate size, what else should i look for? How should i go about fixing this?
