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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedIve inadvertently deleted some text messages from my w910 and need to try and get them back, ive accessed my sim card through a pc/sc compatible smart card reader but the software doesn't show ant text messages, it does show everything else though (ie contacts ) so i know the reader is working. do SE phones store text messages in the phone? if so is there anyway to retrieve deleted messages?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI buy SE W910 about a year ago. Never get problems with it before. And about 4 days ago, I just get dead button on C (for erase character) and the next day it just get worse. Another dead buttons on left button (option), Green button (call) and Red button (ended call). Not sure why it happen.
I found in the internet forum for the same problem but not solved. Also I have friend with same phone type and problem, bring to Sony Ericsson service and they have fix it. But the problem just back in next few days. They said the problem is on the flexible. I can't make a call with it.
Recently i noticed half of my apps n games got duplicated... and they cannot be deleted showing "operation failed" what is the cause of this? and how can this be fixed? i think its possible with formatting the memory card but i would rather avoid that.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've bought a SE c510 recently. Maybe a month ago. All was working fine until a couple of days ago, it started giving me error message. First, it will say Inactive Sim. Then, it will turn itself on, and give me this error message: "Insert Sim or View Demo Video first" It takes more than a couple of on/off remove battery cycles before it functions again. My Sim is definitely not inactive. Cause At times that I don't get this error, it works. I have also updated to the latest firmware as of 06/27/10. I still get the errors. Is there s aolution to this? I have been using SE Phones for a long time now and I don't usually have issues like this.
View 2 Replies View Relatedi live in aus and i have SE T715. im with 3. on prepaid. when i woke up today it said where the "3" symbol is meant to be "Inactive SIM". called 3 and they said your account isnt barred or anything and everything seems fine on our end. so i turned the phone off and turned it back on and wala it was back to normal again! the sim is only 1 month old! it hasnt said "inactive sim" since! weird.another thing is i couldnt make phone calls a couple of hours afterwards. the signal bar was on full but the "G" symbol in the top left hand corner disappeared and wasnt replaced with anything. so i turned my phone off and turned it back on and guess what? back to normal. it only did it that one time and same with the usim message only once. hasnt played up since! it just seems turning the phone off and turning it back on fixes it.there are three things that can be causing this 1:the sim card 2:the phone or 3: the network. what do you guys think.

My screen works perfectly but the top of it doesn't work when I tap. I downloaded a multitouch app. And I found that the swipe works perfectly if I came from the bottom. So I think that it is a software problem. Some permanent solution? Rebooting the phone solves the problem for a while.

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy toshiba laptop is running windows vista, and it actually says it's connected through wifi to the personal hotspot on my iPhone 4s, but I am unable to use the Internet at all. When connected via USB, I have no troubles whatsoever. When I check the different connections on the laptop, the USB connection says "local and Internet", while the wifi connection says "local" only. I'm sure this is an issue with the laptop, but I'm severely challenged when it comes to computers.

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?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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
The display for my C902 phone has stopped working or to be more specific, the display works sometimes but is blank for most of the time. I have the latest software and have removed battery, memory card and SIM cards and none of this works. I have seen on the net that this has happened to other people too but I have not come across a solution.
View 6 Replies View Relatedi'm very familiar with the W715 and have been using one for the past 18 months and made good use of the AGPS feature - very fast fix times even indoors. Suddenly I now find that this phone is behaving as if AGPS is disabled in the menu. Master reset/Reflashing using SEUS and redownloaded my internet settings has not fixed the problem and even Vodafone UK have now provided me with a warranty replacement handset which performs exactly the same?! The world icon comes up for 5 seconds upon loading 'status info' just the satellites do not appear within the circles as they used to - instead they line up at the left/right of the screen until orbital data is downloaded via the strongest satellite instead of from the AGPS server. More worryingly my brand new W995 on O2 performs exactly the same which leads me to believe this is a SE problem and their rubbish about sending phone in for repair has really got me confused - how exactly will this help me? To clarify both handsets GPS chips work fine and will locate but the old slow way as if I don't have a data connection on the phone. But I do and can browse websites and check email so its not that. I've got Vodafone offering to send me yet another handset as their only solution, O2 I have a couple of days left to return under distance selling regulations but what I really want is AGPS working as it did before Called SE helpline today and they are the most unhelpful bunch i've ever dealt with. Telling me because the GPS works its not a problem, they totally ignore my comments that its not working WITH assistance. They also tell me they don't run any assistance server yet they must because you cannot change it in the settings anywhere and swapping network SIM cards used to be fine as long at there was a data profile setup.
Now two networks, two phones and no GPS assistance on either. Can anyone have a check on their handset and see if AGPS is working correctly or has a server gone down somewhere? Very lost and don't want to get blagged again when this technicial person rings me back to explain a bit better why my phone is OK and I just don't know what i'm talking about.
I am having ringtone issues with a newly bought Hazel (J20i) mobile phone.

View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently, 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.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently bought a w890i locked to the Three network, and unlocked/debranded it using Omnius. I've done this before lots of times, so I know I didn't make a mistake. I have all the right drivers installed and I followed the instructions to the letter.However, when I finished, I noticed that I was getting an "invalid Sim" message. I tried unlocking it again but it didn't help - it said it was already unlocked. I checked the lock status using left,left and sure enough, it is unlocked. So just to rule out a problem with the sim, I tried a few different sims that I had lying around. The Three sim that came with the phone didn't work, and neither did the O2 or Vodafone sims that I tried. but an old Virgin Mobile sim worked perfectly. So what's the problem and how do I fix it. It's possible the problem was already there before I unlocked/debranded the phone but I never checked since I'm not on the Three network.I thought it might be a problem with the CDFS. I backed-up the TA and CDFS from another w890i as a precaution (like I say, this isn't my first time) but I never backed this one up beforehand believing that I could just use the TA and CDFS extracted from the earlier phone. However, now I've read that the CDFS is unique to each phone, so I'm wondering what I should do. What will happen if I try to restore the TA/CDFS from another phone? To be honest, I don't really understand anything about them.I've tried re-flashing the firmware, too. It didn't help. And there's nothing wrong with the firmware - I've used it before. I know I could get the original firmware back by uploading the old CDA and connecting to the SEUS, but would that really help at all?I'm a bit of a novice, in way over my head here.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having a lot of trouble with my Vivaz. A couple of days ago I was in the middle of texting and I thought it was kind of odd that I had to wait a long time for a reply, so I checked my phone inbox and I had a new message but my phone did not alert me in any way. The envelope new message symbol didn't even show up at the top of the screen. The problem has now got worse and it has permanently been like this the past day. My message tone wont go off when I get a new message, "new message" doesn't pop up, and the symbol at the top doesn't pop up either. Because I now have a constant obsession with checking my phone every 5 seconds since it doesn't alert me anymore.
