Sony Ericsson :: T707 / W508 - Thinking Of Buying One Of These Two Phones?
Jan 25, 2010
Thinking of buying one of these 2 phones and just wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. Can get hold of them quite cheap and both are the same price at 119gbp. I was thinking of the blue T707 or the white W508.
I was searching and found one post where someone was able to get threaded SMS on their SE W508 but they said they used a firmware for another phone. And im afraid to start testing random firmwares on my phone incase I brick it, so does anyone know how to get a W508 to get threaded SMS.
i have eard about this codes, and what do you need a scaner ap, my w508 can do that?, and where i can download it?i want it to be able to download google translator for mobiles,o and btw, does w508 have an app to get wifi?
Bought a w508 and its a really slim and great walkman phone but when I charge the battery it will not charge to more than 98% no matter how many hours. I have even charged it from the evening to morning but the same thing happens 98%.
Mine is 8 months old and has been starting to turn off on its on own alot, started at first to be every now and then but since monday it has been happening everytime i go to send a txt or when i get half way through a text.I know thats a pretty bad fault but what would cause it? Any way to make my phone live longer as it seems it only has a little bit of life left in it? It always says after it 'inactive sim' or 'insert sim', it has been very well looked after, never dropped from a distance or been near water.
I sold my Omnia i900 and now I only have the C902, I'm looking for a replacement phone and came across ELM and it it around US$230 in my country. Here are my questions
1) Is it a good deal ? 2) What about signal reception issues ? are they fixed with the latest firmware? 3) Screen quality is better than C902 or or worse ? 4) found a slightly used X10 mini for US$280.
What is the phone I should go with? ELM or the X10 mini.
I lost my k800i and I am very low on budget. May 75-100USD for a used phone to buy. I'm choosing between k850i and k810i. K850i cost around 100USD while K810i maybe 50-75USD. What do you suggest. K800i-R8BF003 CID 53
When will they announce a Satio successor and a W995 replacement? They did it this time last year will it be back to July now? They seem committed to touch technology so is this the last ever W995 type phone?
I'm not new to buying phones off of eBay, but usually I do buy it now from a very large and prolific store for new imported GSM phones (like my current Samsung g600). I have never gotten a domestic US phone and want to get a Samsung Vibrant, but many of the cheaper new or used deals are from individual users with relatively smaller feedback numbers. How would I go about making sure I don't get a stolen phone from one of them? I know Verizon checks ESN numbers for their CDMA phones but I don't know what protections GSM phones have, if they have any at all. Do they check IMEI numbers? I think I remember hearing that custom firmwares will erase the number, so it isn't a good indicator and can be used against me to sell a phone. So for anyone buying domestic used or new phones, any tips on avoiding these situations? And even if I do end up with one, it probably won't brick on me like a CDMA phone would?
I have updated my phones' software using the "update service" and it tells me that my phone has got the latest software (R2CA023). I have read on some blogs that R2CA026 has been released in some regions. Is there a way that I can update to the latest software?
My wife updated from a RAZR at the same time I uptated from a 4-5 year old Moto V70. Two new Droid X2's. When camping where we've always camped without any phone issues, on two seperate occasions, she was unable to complete a call to me. On one, the phone rang, I answered, she could hear me but I couldn't hear her so I hung up.
Like so many people here, i have also forgotten my phone Lock Code. So today i have decided to reset it anyhow and while playing with my phone K850i - A2 phone, db3150, BINGO, i found the way. May be this should work with all platform phones. But still this has to be confirmed by the owner of different platform phones. The solution is- look in your FS in this folder. tpa/preset/default now delete this file- 'security_domain_settings'. That's it. Your Phone Lock Code is reset to 0000.Before deleting you might want to back up that file. Though it is not required. Tested by me.Pls confirm this method by different platform phone users. edit: Just found that by deleting this file, it is not recreated. so there might be some functions which will not be able to use if you delete it. But by activating it, it serves the purpose. asking for passward and all. if you give wrong passward, it will not let you access. Do it at your risk. this means if you forget the passward again, you will not able to retrive it. edit 2 : By flashing the phone this file is recreated and you will have the same passward as you have set after deleting that file. In my opnion, just flash your phone after you use the above mentioned method.

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 am thinking about making the switch because BlackBerry 6 was made with touchscreens in mind so I have a thought where the OS will be stripped down for the 9700.But, the more I think about it, I would have the same resolution screen on my 9700 and I'd still have my keyboard I'm a student, love to email/message, media is a plus (about to get an iPod Touch for best of both worlds soon).Is there anyone here considering jumping to the 9800?
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.

I think the fone fell, cause it was dusty or maybe its because it was charged using the USB cable. What can be the possible cause of the phone not to turn ON?
As the title implies, I need to ask if there are varying kinds of Sony Ericsson LCD screens for the G705 or if there are variations in models made. Nearly 6 months ago I bought a Sony Ericsson G705 phone off eBay that only needed a new LCD screen. Well I purchased a screen off eBaand was good to go except for a few minor issues... 1.) The LCD screen had a thicker screen/border than the original so I had to mod it by taking off the white border around it. 2.) The ribbon that connects the LCD screen to the G705's keypad wasn't aligned correctly causing it to disconnect from the keypad every so often. This too I had to fix by sticking some paper underneath where the connector sits. It worked after the modifications but the end result is the keypad was raised causing issues where pushing the up key would force it to push the left key too. Unfortunately after awhile the screen stopped working likely due to the fact the different layers were separating. I gave in and bought a new screen from an online dealer elsewhere just to get scammed in the end with a broken LCD screen which they refused to replace claiming I cracked it. So now I've purchased a new screen of eBay yet this one has issues too, it's thinner than the first one I got, but has the same problem where the ribbon doesn't appear to be aligned correctly either. This time however, I get some ugly dead pixels in the lower left corner of the screen and the rest is completely jumbled with white lines going through it. I've already contacted the seller for an exchange and am about to lose all hope getting this phone working. Anyway, back to the topic. Do the screens in the G705 vary from region to region or between versions? When I got it I found the phone was from Hong Kong (firmware was HK anyway.) though the manual and included paperwork suggested it was from France. The screens I have purchased seemed to have varying differences between either the thickness is too wide, the ribbon doesn't fit the correct position, or some other incompatibility. I bought this phone.
Please help someone I have encountered my first Elm problem. Over night I charged the phone & this morning it's still charging & will not pass 66% charge. I took battery out put back in & charged with the phone off for another hour. When switched back on it was now @ 65% This was after another hour of charging with the phone off. I then did a master reset of all not just settings. Charged it up again for a further hour & still the charge is not increasing. Please help what the hell is going on? This battery has a mind of it's own. I have a feeling something has occured since I kept plugging & unplugging quite often the phone in & out of my pc. So maybe it's caused this I do not know. Please any suggestions this phone has been reliable upto this piont Esato Awards King of Garbage 2009/2010 & Best Debater 2009 x10 & Nokia N8

My Sony Vivaz was working properly and then suddendly applications stopped working. Then I noticed the applications I had installed in the memory card are not longer displayed on the screen, and when I try to take a photo it says there is no memory card and that they will be stored in the phone's memory. Additionally, when I try to reinstall the applications I always get the message File error. What is happening to my phone? How can I fix all these problems?
