Sony Ericsson :: K790i - Phone Turned On / Showing Small Box (Please Wait) Message
Aug 5, 2010
For last few days I am having a problem with K790i. When I turn on my phone it shows a small box showing 'Please wait' after the Sony Ericsson logo disappears. Then after waiting for about 10 minutes another small box appears with same 'Please wait ' error. I tried the FW update by SEUS, but it's taking just 30 seconds to install, which I think is weird and might be it's not even updating. So is there any way to Master Reset the phone without being on? By the Keys or something?
Im facing a problem with mt k790i.ITs not detecting on my PC first went and replaced the connector. Then it shows charging while connected to PC but wont detect.And now the battery seems to be Running out super fast. Asked for a new battery they said 1500 rs (India)
gambled and SEUS said a new firmware update was available for my W995, so being a fool, i backed it all up and ran the procedure.No errors, unplug and powered her on.Now its been sat at the Please Wait with full status bar for about 3hrs now. Can i just power cycle it? what is best way to do this? Will it do damage? Is my phone shot?
Everytime I turn on my phone, the install screen with a bar always appears, meaning I have to wait for a minute or two before being able to use my phone. Also, after this, the phone deletes the games I have. I recently had to clear my phone's memory, and deleted the games that came with the phone, and one game, Nitro Street Racing, will keep reappearing and disappearing every time I turn my phone on and off.
I also purchased another game via the internet for £5, only for it to disappear after I turned my phone off and then back on again, and unlike the other game, it is not coming back. As when I need to make a quick call my phone takes a long time to turn on and be able to use, and I would really like to recover the game I bought.
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.
I'm turning on the Vivaz after a night in charging. It's turning on and stuck on the SE screen at the start. I've tried everything and nothing helpful, what can I do?
I have a w950i it contains a inbuilt memory 4gb. Now I switch it on but it shows the loading bar and after some time automatically restarts. How to resolve this case? I update my phones software too. I think the memory is corrupt.
Here are at least two small but practical features removed from the Elm, previously on ALL Ericsson phones at least from the T28:
1. hold down the "back" button a little longer to get to the top menu immediately
2. the volume buttons on the side were one step / two steps ahead when writing text. Press A to get A, press A and volume up to get B, press A and volume down to get C and so on. Very practical when you write text messages in several languages - and FASTER than T9 overall.
Just got the Vivaz and love it except that I can't customize the main page to have a larger time and date display. The time is way to small for me to see. I did put large on the font under setup, but still find it very small throughout. Any ideas how to customize or override this?
I have a sony erricson W395 and I have saved the contacts from my old SIM card onto my new phone memory, I put the new SIM card in and I cant find the contacts that are saved on the phone, the contacts list is empty. But if I type in my home number and ring it, it comes up with ringing home. Yet if the contact weren't saved on the phone it would come up with random number ringing and not saying calling home. How to transfer my contacts from my phone memory to my official contacts list/
I got my MMS setting from my current network but the problem is, whenever I receive MMS pictures, I will receive it in small size, too small I guess, about 3kb. I even try to send MMS to my number but still it will appear in a small size.
There is a small orange flashing symbol when i set my camera with the flash on, and it won't take a picture. The light works as when set with flash off the light comes on once and takes the picture (without the flash). HELP Please, Is it a warning symbol? or have i don't something with the settings?
The last month I get very often the message "Inactive SIM". After re-starting the phone, it works, mostly, properly again. What can I do to avoid this message? I have the W910.
someone please help me on that:my sek850i was working properly just a while ago, but then it suddenly turned off by itself.now when i try to turn it on, its not working and when i plug it into the charger, a red light is coming out from the top near the on button.and the screen did not turn on.someone please help or tell me what happened
I am the owner of a Sony EricksonE w580i which I am very happy with.However 2 days ago, out of the blue after sending a text I was faced with the message which I had never seen before. " REPLACE SIM OR WATCH DEMO" Despite playing the demo several times and taking out and replacing the sim several times, I was faced with the fact that my phone was locked.On replacing the sim I noticed that it was pushed into position by the battery itself, thats the way it had been set up by the Orange Shop. so it was like on a spring and the battery was pushing it into its working position.And this is the root of the problem. The sim card has to be pushed home until it clicks into position. I have small fingers and I still could not push it to its fully seated and clicked position with my fingers alone.eventually I managed to do it using the edge of a small screwdriver, but even then it took several tries before it clicked home. I believe this is a flawed design as it is not easy to do by any means. And yet using the battery to push the sim to the seated position is the way it was et up for me at point of purchase and this also gave adequate contact for me to get uninterrupted use for several months. But this is NOT correct, the Sim must be clicked and locked into position so it is no longer movable on the spring mechanism.Once it was clicked home - Hey presto ! like magic, everything worked perfectly, only had to reset the date.However, and quite worryingly, when I called the Sony Erickson help line befor I found the magic solution, I was advised that to overcome the locked system and to bypass the dreaded message, I needed to go to the Sony Erickson site, go to support and downloads then click on Update your product software/Update Service.My friendly support advisor said this would overcome the problem but the downside would be that I would lose all my memory ! I would have to start again, Calender, Tasks, Notes, Contacts. everything.This would have been a heavy price to pay, for a non solution ! Clearly the advice was a shot in the dark from the advisor ! I had already downloaded said updates as a matter of course 2 months ago so I was sceptical of solution that SE had suggested.No, this problem is mechanical/circuitry. NOT SOFTWARE !
The sim card is not locked home unless clicked, do not depend on battery pressure. Thus the phone when in "battery pressure mode" may have a circuit or a partial circuit, leaving the user at best to be in my situation to get several months of usage, and then kaputt ! as the circuit is lost and the phone thinks it needs re setting up. and it gives the message you can not get past. or the worst case of continual working /non working scenarios, which are linked to the partial contact and partial circuit.I think this may also be the route cause behind many other of the problems raised on this forum, ie; Phones turning off, or just a red light, or just a slight vibration, or phone behaving like it's dead, or phone locked etc.(from other posts it appears all the above issues are are further "encouraged" by a low battery charge) which seems to be a separate quality issue altogether.So at the end of this ramble - the tip is make absolutely sure the sim card is locked home, be patient, you may have to try many times, but it will click home if you use a tool to assist you, (fingers are not enough) and you may well just solve your problems too.Essentially I think the phone is a very good mid range phone and this design fault may be hugely tainting its performance /likability.If Sony Erickson are listening? they will correct / make easier the sim card clicking action, They will also instruct the help desk to give out the "clicking the SIM card home" advice.Rather than the totally useless - download software advice which will do nothing to create a good circuit, but will ensure lose all your information unless backed up somewhere. And while SE are at it they should also re work the battery life AND the cover panel removal. To get the back panel off is a nightmare and can lead to creating other damage as such excessive forces are required. Not good at all - BAD COVER DESIGN
i am having w200i mobile phone.From last 2days i cant see my screen, instead the colour of my screen turned completely blue but all other functions are completely working.Can i solve this problem by myself?
i have one piece of 9700 and i live in the UAE and have a 3g contract with my provider. But when i use the mobile it shows small edge icon and not big one.My simcard works in another bb 9700 but not this one, can anyone help me out?
Ive recently been having problems with my camera on the satio, I try to take a picture and the flash just keeps flashing even when I close the shutter or it crashes and both times I've got to turn the phone off to be able to use it again. I searched the internet but cant find anything on it and I don't know if an update will help but id rather not do one as I always have more problems when I do a update.
When i switch my phone on a message comes up on the screen saying "insert phone sim card", or view demo for this phone! it will not let me acess the phone at all apart from emergency calls.
i was wondering if anybody can help me. My phone keeps showing the letter "H" top left of screen, ive checked the owners handbook and no mention of it.Could anybody tell me what it is, what i can do about it etc.
I have an issue with my W705 showing pictures (in picture folder)in the cam album and latest photo under media. Only 9 pictures seem to have an issue. I can't figure out why the phone is picking them up like that. Can anyone point me in the right direction. Searching on Google has got me nowhere.
Recently, my Vivaz got a little flurry of SMS messages and once i'd opened them all the small grey envelope in the top left remained. I turned my vivaz off and on again (as any true techno wizard does) and the envelope vanished. However it has no gone COMPLETELY. When I get a text, my phone doesn't vibrate, make a noise (and no it's not on silent etc) I don't get a message which says "1 new message" and no envelope appears. After a while the lights come on and the screen goes dark grey, as if it's about to do something, but can't quite make it. The only way I can see if I have a message is to have my inbox open all the time, and when I tap my phone the message "appears" in my inbox. I also get the red wavy lines appear in the messaging window. Any ideas how I can make my little envelope come back? Or make the phone make a noise again? I've checked all the sound and messaging settings, and have downloaded and updates the software.
I have C902 and I have recently had it unbranded and unlocked. I moved from Orange to O2 and took my number with me. Today was number moving day. In phone status, the number shown is the temp one from O2, not my ported one. My ported number shows up correctly on my home phone, so I know the move went ok.
Anyone know if there is a message reminder App for the Vivaz? Don't know why but when I have my phone on silent with vibrate alert ON, I always seem to miss messages. Do Sony Ericsson have plans to add this to there software?
Does anybody know how when receiving a text message with the Elm phone i can get just the name of the sender and not the 1st line of the text viewed on screen?
