Sony Ericsson :: Sony Ericsson Elm / Hazel Firmware Discussion?
May 28, 2010
I thought I may start an Elm/Hazel thread for discussion as it seems many of you have one of the two phones now. I wanted to do this to discuss any problems with things like firmware & issues & other stuff rather than discussing this in the picture thread.

my gps in hazel was working fine with the earlier firmware. It took time from 5-15 minutes but it did get lock-on but after the update of the firmware from SEUS it is not working. I mean I even kept the tracker app running for almost 3 hours and at different locations but for no use.

I can't decide should I buy Elm or Hazel? I heard about all those firmware update and thats new to me, because I never did anything like that to my old K750i. Is it neccessary to update to the latest firmware? I've also heard that Hazel has a lot of bugs. Is that truth? And recharge problems, are they that bad as they say? I've recharged my K750i for about every 2 weeks.
It's not about my network having poor reception, my network has fairly decent 3G coverage in my area as my Dad's BlackBerry Bold constantly gets 5 bars of 3G. I bought a Hazel, I love it but seems I've been getting rather poor reception. I tried switching to GSM only but I only get unstable reception. Is there a software update? Too bad the phone doesn't come with a USB cable.
My purpose is to go for voip call through wifi but in J20i,I only found sip settings under the connectivity menu without any voip client?,can anyone help me in this regard.
I was thinking to get one next week especially for it's price and design. I just wanted to know how is the 16M color TFT display of the device? How sharp and vibrant is it? I previously owned a W995 and I was shocked by the poor display of it, the colors looked so faded, though it had 256K screen. The best 16M colored display (non touch) I owned was the N95. Can I expect same from Hazel? or better or worse? and What about the earpiece volume? Is it that same medium range like other SE phones or been increased?Hazel owners please put your inputs. Thanks.[ This Message was edited by: ithehappy on 2010-05-29 10:54 ]
Is just me? Or does the red/rouge hazel look so damn sexy? Don't get me wrong, I'm a straight guy, but damn! I love that red look on hazel when I personally handled it on a store.
I have downloaded many thm themes for my Sony ericsson hazel mobile, but am not able to use a single one. When i try to set the theme, it says theme incompatible, cannot set! Can u plz tell me what the problem is or what i can do?
To make a call i need to always slide the phone, cant i make a call without sliding?And most of the time when i try to make a call,it just disconnects even though there is full signal.Whats the solution for it?Please help!
I just bought a hazel phone last week. I noticed that in the Messaging box there, the conversation tab is missing!I like this function very much i try to re-intall the firmware also doesn't help anything. Anyone have the same problem with me? and anyone could tell me how to solve this problem?
Can anyone tell me how to access internet via a USB connection to my pc, thereby using the pc's internet connection? I have activated the function on the Hazel.
I would like to know the best 3 top Java applications 3 games that you people use and why. Applications could include VOIP, IM, motion sensing, GPS. I am searching for one myself. But other than Google maps haven't been able to find anyone like wisepilot with voice navigation. And guys the apps should be free.
I have SE hazel. i update software from cell now wid gate is not working. so i want to reinstall software from PC, but i want to take back up of message... shall we?
I bought hazel just 1 week ago and I m very upset that I can't customize equalizer. 5 preset option is there normal, bass, mega bass, voice, & treble but I am not happy with bass & mega bass and loudness. I want to mexamise it to my comfort level which is not available.
After coming to terms with the fact that I will not be able to get my hands on the c901 in Australia, I have decided to move on and find a new love. Its come down to the older w995 and the newer hazel. From the outside it seems like the w995 is the better phone with the higher megapixel camera, metal materials and higher price, though the hazel seems to capture better images and much better video recording which holds me back. If given the choice between the 2, which would you purchase and why?
I`m thinking of buying a Hazel. A great camera n a good audio quality are on the top of my priority . I`ve read at a lot of places n even experienced myself at a mobile store that Hazel's loudspeaker produces very feeble sound. So I was wondering if acoustics drivers are available for Hazel yet, it being a newly launched mobile phone.
I've saved up money lately, with a budget of 13k(in pesos).I've been thinking of buying a Sony Ericsson phone that fit into my budget, and these three caught my eye: SE Kita, and SE Elm/Hazel.I am so confused as to which phone I should consider buying.I just want a stable phone that can send SMS, Call, occasional gaming, and some camera and mp3 time(I would also consider the EXTERNAL FEATURES)I did some research on those three and I'm a bit torn.I know not one single phone can be perfect, but help me choose with consideration to my preferences.As I researched, both Elm and Hazel have Wifi, sadly for Kita.I also understand that Kita is Gaming-heavy phone, but also with exceptional features similar to both Elm and Hazel.According to online reviews, Kita also has an impressive speaker and media player.
I bought a new sony spiro this weekend and so far has been a pain in the back. It resets when I try to access the camera, sometines it stops playing music at random times, or it simply stops reading my micro sd. Today I installed the newest firmware, but still the same problem continues.
I bought hazel yesterday.being a Sony ericson product i thought it must be a great camera phone.but it was shock to see the led light gives distorted yellow light and also camera captures blurred pics.which are to be fixed by photo fix.any solution to this.please help me.mainly i wanna get rid of yellow distorted led flash lite.
i have hazel but i cant download nothing no themes no antivirus.my phone says file incompatibile please if can help my i need antivirus and i want to download themes and games.
I've been facing this problem with my Hazel phone for a while now. When I try accessing twitter from the twitter widget, it says service unavailable. When I try updating the phone from my phone, it says unable to download update. When I connect my headset with the phone I can listen to music but cant listen to a phone call through it. I've even tried master reset, twice. Can anyone provide me with a solution?
I recently purchased SE Hazel. Whenever I try to use GPS it show No GPS Signal on the screen. I have a one month trial subscription and an activated data account too. But still I cant use the Navigation feature on my phone. please help me in providing me an accurate solution for this problem.
I am using SE Hazel from Aug-2010. I never tried with a different SIM card. Just yesterday I tried a other SIM in my cell and the phone was not booting completely. The mobile stays stuck with Sony Ericsson logo persisting on it. Later I tried with other 3-4 sim cards, still the same. So, I went to SE service centre today as Hazel is still within warranty period. They said the handset need to be send to company and would take at least 35 days to return.
Please tell me how to connect my new hazel with my pc internet modem. can I operate internet without wi-fi and without a mobile internet. can i operate internet through modem if yes then please someone help me how to do that.
I just need to know where the 2gb memory card included within the Hazel phone (on 3 network in UK) is made, i.e. China or Taiwan etc. The reason I ask is that I bought this phone and i think the card has been replaced with a used one.
