Sony Ericsson :: K550i - Phone Not Starting / Flashes Red Couple Of Times Then Nothing
Jul 31, 2010
My girlfriends SE K550i died yesterday. If you try to start it it flashes red a couple of times then nothing happens. I have read about this and I thought I could reflash the phone to see if that fixes it. I have tried with XS++ and when I press 2 and 5 and connect the phone the program reacts but it stops at "Protocol Version 3.1" then nothing happens. The phone doesn't react when I put it in the charger so perhaps the battery is all drained too.
I have k550I model. Suddenly the round key is not working. That is not able to navigate up or down and left or right. Kindly help me what needs to be checked.
I am using K550i cybershot phone since 2 years now with the firmware R8BC004,I just wants to know that which firmware is best for taking photos, i have so many firmwares but can't decide , which firmware gives best result in image processing.If any my friend knows please help to decide about best firmware
It's still good and I cannot use it now I have moved to New Zealand from the UK, because it is locked to Orange - who can afford Orange roaming NZ to UK! I cannot afford a new phone either, anyway I like this one. I have heard all about unlocking procedures and they sound a bit scary. What do I do?
I have had my k500i for about three years and I like it more than any other phone that I have played with. One thing that I found frustrating, though, was the lack of a "pause" function on the video player. I am posting this information in case it is useful to other k550i users. I used to play videos by going to File Manager --> Videos --> Select Video and was frustrated by the lack of a pause function on the player. If my viewing was interrupted I had to miss some of the programmer or start over. Just today (three years after getting the phone!) I read the manual closely and it looked like there was SUPPOSED to be a pause function. Indeed there is! If you select Entertainment --> Video Player --> Select Video to play a video (instead of the route mentioned above) then the Pause Button (on the left side of the screen) works as it is supposed to. There is a bug in the software that the pause button is not enabled when playing videos via the other route. I hoe this post helps SOMEONE out there.! Let me know if it did.
I am having K550i model of Sony Ericsson. I want to used it internal email client for my Gmail account or my yahoo account. I have GPRS connection. So can one help me to configure it. I don't know how to configure internal email client.
I do not use my phone much and my W995 used to last of over a week on one charge. After a recent software update at the beginning of September 2010, my battery now only last a couple of days. Does anyone have any suggestions on why this might be?
In the last few weeks, my M7 will start music playback (whether from Play Music or my podcast app) at weird times. Not out of the blue, but sometimes when a call comes in (which is obviously annoying since it then becomes a scramble to turn it off and explain to the caller what is happening). Or, it will happen when I give my phone a voice command, after the command is over it will start, as if it is resuming after having paused for the command (even thought it hadn't been on before).
My mum has only had her Sony Ericsson Zylo phone for one month and is experiencing problems with it. The phones back light flashes on and off all the time, even when the phone hasn't been in use for a period of time. What does this happen?
I need help desperately.my Sonyericsson w580i is not powered on. I lost my power button few days ago and I opened my back panel and tried to power on by using tooth stick by pressing small button. Somehow I broke that one too.Is there any other way to power on my device for few minutes only, I need to copy all contacts from phone to sim.
i installed cm9 through x rec from my sdCard on my w8...... n since then my phone doesnt boot..... it only shows the white bold lettered SE logo, which desappears n the screen stays on with no display....Doesnt even go into CWM or xRec by pressing the back button continuously.....
Like the subject says, I'd like to know if others are experiencing a slow response / lag when you start entering a new message. On my Satio, the letters start showing up real slow then all of a sudden it catches up. Real pain. Others seeing this on your Satio ?
As much as I see that the vibrate alert is handy when one carries the mobile in one's pocket there are times when I want to switch it off. One such occasion is Sleeping. I don't put my w660i in my pyjamas pocket in bed. I put it on the table beside the bed. All it wants to do is vibrate off the table when the wake up alarm goes off. Can I deactivate the vibrator for sleep times?
I have a big problem in my k850i, this problem is in the aircraft is photo, so when I turn the camera on Mobile blocking and when I open the video , it was flash several times, without result a message "insufficient memory" even if there was, in more Photo DCIM folder does not open in mobile even if there are photo or other files.
I have the blackberry bold 9700 the LED light to alert you of messages etc. Will not stop flashing. I pulled out the battery and that's when the flashing started I thought pulling the battery out again would work but it hasn't stopped it flashes several times stops and flashes again a min later. I checked all apps and messages but cannot find any alerts. Its been over a week but the problem has not corrected itsel
Similar posts out here and can't find an answer: I have a BB Bold that was working fine today. Since 5:30 ET, it has gone to a black screen. When plugged in, the led light blinks 4 times, pauses, blinks 4 times, pauses, and so on. This blinking pattern has continued for hours. I unplugged and removed thte battery, and then returned the battery to the phone and plugged it in again with no improvement. The phone will not turn on and continues to blink as described. There has been no drop or moisture damage to the unit. Any ideas as to what is going on?
Phone turned itself off. Tryed plugging it into a wall charger and laptop usb cable to charge, but each time the red time stay constant for about a minute and then it changes to flashing four times quickly then a short pause and then flashing four times again (and it just repeats this over and over again.)
I changed the battery on my Z2, to which I knew was better, after that it doesn´t starts only flash red 3 times when I press the on button, put in the second battery that sat in the beginning the same phenomenon flashes 3 times refuses to start, the worked without problems before I changed battery.
i cant seem to load any software on my daughters phone it flashes twice then 4 times have tried reinstalling the desktop software but still cannot get the backberry to start?
I have recently upgraded my android version to 4.0, i don't know if the cause comes from the upgrade, but some times when i start a game on my phone the screen keeps flashing when i reload the game the screen is back to normal. Is there a fix or something for this?
I just bought my onyx around a month ago and it has been happening like 4 times already. I had to take out the batter everytime this happens. Anyway to fix this?

I tried to charge my phone on my computer and it would not charge and I saw that the batteries light would flash three times when trying to open the unit?? I am wondering if I should go see my provider or if there is a fast fix for that?
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 have a sony xperia z2. Last week I had the front screen replaced.
last night my phone was on 2% and turned off, i didnt think much of it and when i got into bed put it on charge like i normally would..
the screen flashes up for a second or sony with the sony icon but then cuts out and when i have woken up this morning it is still doing this.
i have held the volume up button and the power on buttom, but nothing happens it doesn't even vibrate. I have also pressed the red button at the left hand side of the phone but again this doesn't seem to be doing anything.
I'm looking for a new phone, preferably a Sony Ericsson. What's important to me is that I can use the WLAN at university and I can't find any information about that on the Internet. Can anybody tell me about SE solutions? Another aspect that matters to me is the camera, it does not need to replace a normal camera, but the photos should be of a certain quality. I'm quite satisfied with my k800i on this point, but the resolution could be a bit higher.
