Sony Ericsson :: W705 Software Version R1GA030 / "playback Failed"?
Jun 17, 2010
I gt my Sony Ericsson w705 repaired recently. The peolple who help me repaired my phone changed my phone's software version to R1GA030 but i found that all my WMA musics files stored in memory card shows "playback failed" whenever i wanna play it. Is it got something to do with the software version? Anyone gt answer about this problem??
Hi, i have tried using the facebook application on my Sony W705, but whenever i try login to the application, it always throws an error "Login Failed". Can you please help to provide a solution to this application.
While in playback from playlist, tracks, authors etc phone will display failed and not go onto next song. Using 8gb M2 memory card. Have full formated memory card. Have placed music in root directory or card and in music directory. If you try to play filed song again redisplays failed. However you can forward to next song and it will play. I have tried many combinations and it still fails after each song.
I bought the Spiro about a week ago and immediately bought a memory card so that I could store my music on there. The phone did not come with a USB cable (which I find a bit cheeky as people are expected to pay for a USB cable AND a memory card if they want to use it for it's Walkman function - no wonder it seemed like a bargain price!) SO I bought a memory card (SD Micro with an a larger 'adaptor' memory card to put it in my laptop) but not a usb cable as I can't afford it. However, I was told that I could put music files onto the card from my laptop, put the card in the phone and access them from there. Now I have done this, I have ripped the music from a CD, saved as MP3, transferred to the memory card, put the card in the phone, located files on the phone but they won't play!!! It just keeps saying 'playback failed' - whether I play through Walkman or File Manager. I have been looking at the FAQs online but there is nothing that is offering me a solution to this problem. I have also contacted Sony Ericsson Support but have heard nothing back yet. I bought the Spiro for its simplicity but it seems I may have made the wrong choice. So as I see it I have shelled out £50 for a phone and £20 for memory card which I cannot currently use.
There's a firmware compatibility issue of W595 with HPM-85 handsfree. Everytime I connect HPM-85 handsfree to my W595 for listening to music, the walkman application pops up with an error message saying "Playback Failed", also, sometimes the handsfree gets disconnected automatically from the firmware and shows a message asking, "Continue Playback Through Speakers" (the firmware disconnects the handsfree automatically even when the handsfree is plugged into the phone).
I checked my HPM- 85 handsfree on other Sony Ericsson phones and turned out that it works fine with no problems mentioned above. Also, I looked up using the handsfree which came with the phone to make sure if my phone had any issue, and it had no problems as above. So I guess its a firmware compatibility issue with HPM-85. I request you to get this issue notified to the Sony Ericsson firmware developers team to fix this bug asap and release a new firmware update.
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".
I bought my cell in June 2009, it works perfectly fine. I used to use wi-fi nearly 5 times in a day (my house has wi-fi) And suddenly about a month back, my wi-fi has stopped working. I mean, it doesn't detect any available networks at all. Earlier it used to automatically detect my home network, but now even if I try to search available networks it shows a blank list - I have even tried searching in places like airports, hotels, etc. as Wi-Fi was one of the main reasons I bought this phone for. I'm having a hard time without it.
I have been using the phone for one year plus.it's getting boring now. hope SE will add in new features like new games, new themes, Mobile messenger and stufff.
i would like to know which phone is better? i know w705 got Internet and wifi thingy which is attractive but without 3.5mm audio jack audio speaker sux? w595 good audio player.
have a W705. I had it unlocked and now use a vodafone Sim card in it as a result all I can do is text and call as I cannot access anything online due the Sim not being compatible. question is how and what do I download to update my phone with the relevant software?
I'm trying to connect my Plantronics Voyager 520 – which works fine with the phone I previously used, a K610i – to my W705, and can't find a way to do so (bluetooth on, telephone visible).
How to get rid off the service tone in w705.........i mention the tone after the message is sent and delevery report tone....coz it pause the song for a while which hurts me while playing songs.............
I tried to connect internet through WiFi in my office using mode W705. It is an open network. The network was connected whenever i turned on WiFi in my mobile. But while browsing, it causes an error like "Communication error. Try again, turn off Wi-Fi or contact your provider for support." Any one can help me, what is the problem happening here..
After recently updating my W705 I cannot get the PC suite to recognize it. There seems to be a problem either with installing the drivers for the device or the device not being recognized because it "doesn't have a signature".?! It can be recognized and connects properly when in USB mode, which is strange, but it no longer has a 'phone mode' option, only a 'PC mode' option. The phone works fine by itself but I need to restore all my data to it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software many times and checked my USB ports and cable. Any other ideas for me to try?
I have had a W705 for just over a year and all of a sudden the main button in the middle has stopped working so I cannot access the menu or select things plus the shortcuts around this button isn't working so cannot write messages or play music or anything the only thing I can do is make a phone call. Has anyone else exerpienced this?
I own a W705 and for the past couple of days the external speaker has stopped working. This means I cannot hear the ring tone, handsfree calls or any music.Also, the headphones which come with the phone stopped working about 2 months ago.PLUS. the charger doesn't always work (it will display the charging icon on the screen, but when I unplug it in the morning it hasn't charged at all. v annoying!). When it DOES say it's charging if you even slightly touch the jack part which is connected to the phone, it thinks it has been disconnected and stops charging (this also happened to my old K6..something, which had the exact same power/headphone socket - so i know this isn't a one-off fault. again, V annoying!). Anyway, the phone was bought unbranded in the UK last Christmas, I live in Cambridge UK and would like to know where I can take the phone to have it repaired or replaced.
My sony w705 won't connect to my sony vaio m series.I added the w705 as a device.But when I try to send files, it says 'Bluetooth peripheral device' not found.I can send files to other phones, I tried with Nokia.And other laptops can send files to my phone.Only my phone and my laptop won't connect to each other.
I am looking for High-Defenition audio drivers for my W705, but I cant find nowhere. I am not looking for louder speakers, only High-Defenition Speakers. Also I am looking for Camera drivers for my W705, but I cant find nowhere. Can anybody help me ? PS Write where to Install them using A2 uploader,
Can anyone please come up with a list of possible ideas/suggestions as to why my mobile phone seems to be accessing the Internet every fours hours? It is costing me money The phone I have is a Sony Ericsson W705.
I can renew my contract and I'm able to get a C903, C902 or W705 for free. I actually want the C901 GreenHeart, but I'm not really keen on paying extra money for it. Maybe by the end of the month it's price will come down so that I can get it free, but else I'll have to choose between those two.
I'm not really looking after a daily phone, just something for my collection and to use occasionally. I know the differences between the phones, but the thing I'd really like to know is which one would be easier to trade for some other SE phone? Anyone any idea on that, or even an offer yet?
Pretty new to the forums and in need of some assistance. Recently and successfully flashed+debranded SE w705a. Made sure to backup contacts and restore them, no problems there. Backed up sms also by using the move to mem card option as well. As I moved them there I assume they are alright. Tje problem is however with the new FS and whatnot that came with the flashing, when I try to move them back onto the phone, they are not detected on the memory card. When I moved them to the mem card the phone gave some message in regards to losing them if you update software or something to that effect. I tried SE suite to see if I could grab them off the memory card but to no avail. Is there another program or something that I can use to transfer the sms back onto the phone?When I flashed I used the guide here: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1221924 -- using FS for Hong Kong also.
sometimes while working suddenly the icons are missing and on checking any pic it says too large to display if i restart the phone this thing is solved but i cant do this everytime right so plz help me
This week I have been having problems with the above phone, when I try to charge (using the charger supplied with the phone) it is fine for about 1 hour then I get a messgae that their is a charging error. I have checked my phone has the most up to date software, and tried phone repair using PC suite, which also fails. Am currently only able to charge via USB, which takes ages. Have only had the phone for a year - and still have 6 months to go on my contract.
