Sony Ericsson :: K800i - Computer Wants To Format Memory Stick
Jan 31, 2010
My mother’s Sony Ericsson K800i died (white screen). She's got some photos on her memory stick (Memory Stick Micro) which she hadn't backed up recently. I read somewhere that someone with a white screen problem was unable to access their memory card using their PC software. So I loaned her my memory card reader and M2 adapter as I figured there'd be no problem with getting her more recent photos off the memory card.
We've tried the memory card reader in two machines: XP and Vista but it comes up with the same message about formatting the card. No way do we want to format the card because we want the data off it. Unfortunately, we don’t know anyone else who has a K800 or any phone which takes the same memory card to borrow so we get the photos off Mum’s memory card. Does anyone know of anything else we could try?
I noticed that my text message that are saved in memory stick are lost after I update the software version. I would like to ask is there any way to recover the text message saved in my memory stick for C901?
I have a C902 mobile phone. I have a video saved on my computer which I have converted to a 3GP file and an MP4 file. I copy and paste the video into the "video" folder on my phone using the USB cable. But then the video does not appear on my phone. What am I doing wrong? I have managed to save the video on my phone now in 3GP format. It shows as a thumbnail, gives the correct length etc. But when I want to play it, it says "playback failed".
My K800i turns itself off every (est.) 10 seconds after I turn it on. I tried taking the mem.card off & changing the batt but it didn't solve the prob.I used the master reset(all setting) but it wasn't successful because at the midst of the procedure, it turned off.Now whenever I turn it on, it only says "please wait" (probably because of the reset I did) but it would not continue even if I wait for a couple of hours.I tried updating it with Update Service but it failed. I tried several times and same things happened.
I am getting no sound from the speaker on my k800i. I can not hear ringtones, or music. The sound does work on the ear phones, and the phone is not in silent mode. The volume is set high. I can hear the voice of other callers. Any ideas?
I have a Sony Ericsson K800i and until two days ago it was working just fine. But then it displayed the "No access to network." message and I couldn't make or receive any calls. I tried to restart the phone, to take off the battery, to reset the settings, to set a network manually etc etc but still nothing.
And while it is searching for a network, it is draining the battery too. It was fully charged this morning, and now it's only 25%. Normally, it should take 3-4 days to reach that power level. I should mention now that I'm in roaming in Munich, Germany since three weeks, and my phone bills are payed on time, so it shouldn't be an mobile operator problem.
My phone (K800i) has displayed no network coverage for almost a month now, I have tried network search auto and manual, and I have tried my SIM in other phones and it works fine. Does anyone have any suggestions because I am fed up of this phone I am having to use while I try and fix my own.

I know many people have written about this but I have a dead SE K800i. I have tried updating via SEUS and it says it is updating but phone still does not turn on. I have also tried updating with wotan client but get only so far and then nothing.
I'll be buying a 2nd Hand/Pre owned k800i this coming June 10,2010 and would have to know your ideas on what drivers are okay. I've been searching about these drivers, I did find some great drivers from modders like number 1 and more. but, my concern is, I still don't know the specs of the phone i'll be getting since the owner barely uses the phone and has no idea about modding. I'll post additional info once I get the phone. I would like to improve the camera (for pictures), video (can we upgrade it to QVGA instead? and 35fps if its good), i also would like to change the UI to mimic the k810i's and lastly the sound driver so that it would be louder. If there's anything better to modd for my phone, would really appreciate.
I took a K800i phone apart to fix it, achieved the fix, and put it back together again.Now the power button (not the rubber bit you touch but the tiny button underneath it) has well gone!I can't figure out whether it's fallen out, snapped off, been pressed to hard into the unit or what.Thing is, this is the 4th time I've managed to do this with 4 separate phones and want to learn how to (a) avoid the problem and (b) ideally fix it.Can anyone give me any advice on this?
i have k-800i device,i cannot open my inbox,sent items or drafts.It is not highlighted at all.Similarly when i send the messages to this device.it doesn't show any notfication or does not receive messages.What could be the problem? How can be rectified?
I bought the K800i a few months ago. I bought it from eBay, Hong Kong. Now it's been having SOOO MANY PROBLEMS, network, smsing etc.I am using XS++ 3.1,This is what it's telling me: 13:06:54| Baseband ID: 9900 13:06:54| Protocol Version: 3.1 13:06:54| Warning: IMEI name does not match GDFS name (IMEI:NULL GDFS:K800) 13:06:54| ...using GDFS name 13:06:54| 13:06:54| Profiling SEMC phone... 13:06:54| Platform: DB2020 13:06:54| OTP CID: 51 13:06:54| EROM CID: 53 13:06:54| EROM Color: Red 13:06:54| IMEI: 35258622xxxxxx 13:06:54| Phone ID: K800 13:06:54| Region: EUROPE_1 13:06:54| CDA: CDA102568/101 R12A 13:06:54| Firmware Version: R8BF003 13:06:54| EROM: R3A099 13:06:54| Ready for operation!

my k800i phone dropped dead and i have been trying to fix it.When i start the phone it blink red from ir port and the screen turns white. I have been trying to flash but cant really figure out how to do it exactly and find the files to do it. I updated the CID to 52 instead of 49 with XS++.

I'm currently having a problem most of the time whenever I move the joystick downwards on my K800i phone, instead of scrolling down a menu, my phone thinks I've pressed select and pushed the joystick button. This is particularly irritating especially when I'm writing texts. Using the predictive text option and when I'm trying to scroll down in my address book to either call someone and my phone thinks I've pressed 'select' and calls somebody, I didn't want to call and sending somebody a text. In the meantime, I'm just moving the joystick upwards whenever I have to scroll through menus.
I've had my phone for about 2 1/2 years now and it was perfectly fine until now. I also have another minor problem which occurs rarely. Sometimes my phone is locked and when I get a text, The phone display stays dark and the phone doesn't function for me to unlock the phone. I have to open and shut the camera shutter for the display to light up the display and for the phone to function.
How can I disable the internet connection since the phone switches onto internet at random when I do not what to go on line and I am getting unneccessary charges
The calls history, missed calls, recieved calls, dialed numbers lists are not available on my sony k800i mobile. a techi wants €75. to fix a glitch or programme on my phone. any suggestions. A great phone, except for this issue which occured, not long after buying phone.
After going to the lake district, something happened to my phone and it stopped sending texts. They would just pile up in the outbox, queing to be sent but would never leave. My phone works fine for everything else apart from this. I have updated to the latest Sony Erricson software and made sure the service number (where the phone relays texts or something) was correct.
it really strange but my k800i {R8BF003, CID 53} has gone crazy ! in the standby mode the DISPLAY will start blinking, but at very very less brightness. its visible when the lights in the room are off. this bugs be cuz its draining the battery too quick PS : Tried removing all patches re-flashing main , fs but still no luck. the phone was never dropped or had any sudden impact too.
The photos I take with my K800i phone are occasionally corrupted. I can see their thumbnail, but when I enlarge them, part of the image seems corrupt (this doesn't happen for all images though. It happens to something like 1 in 10 photos). Is there any way I can recover the corrupted images? They are very important to me. The memory on which the images are stored is a 1GB Sony memory card (M2 slot).
Its been a while and my phone died literally after it got into water! I managed to revive it but the joystick died because it was covered with water reactions around its hardware area! I wanted to throw it away but i discovered i could navigate using numbers when am using ucweb application and some! The issue is on trying to change themes,settings in internet! I was wondering if there is a short cut to internet settings and others or even a patch to navigate using volume and camera top buttons! So far i have only seen a patch to adjust brightness using volume up and down...any luck or should i just throw it away!
have recently been having few issues with my phone, and noticed im still running the original firmware R1CB001.Installed SEUS, follows all intrustions, gets to where it has progress line for installing the firmware.the update starts but after about 30secs, i hear the sound from my pc as if ive just unplugged something from usb and then few seconds later as if something has been plugged back into usb, then the bar just jumps to the enter and says update complete.Turned phone on again, checks software version and still shows as being same as it originally was.Does anyone have any ideas on whats happening and any possible fix?
Is there a patch to disable joystick and just use the keypad to navigate menus, phonebook, messages, gallery, etc. i read from the other forum that he had a patch to disable joystick ang used his keypad to navigate things on his k750i.
