I have a problem with my W995 mobile. The following happened just recently. Photos on the phone suddenly vanished for whatever reason and now photos taken are no longer stored. What might have happened and who can give me any advice what to do.
View 2 Repliesi'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 recently downloaded most of my photos from my w995 phone/camera and choose to delete the ones on the memory card of the phone. However now when I try to take a photo or video it doesn't save it. What did I do wrong and how can I correct this?.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an unlocked/unbranded W995.I used SEUS to update the firmware to R1HA036 however found that the phone was subject to frequent random hangs while browsing through media.I went to reflash and SEUS downgraded me to R1HA035.The firmware seems a bit more stable but one annoying thing is that when browsing through photos it seems that the photos are pixelated for a few seconds before then 'cleaning up' and being able to be viewed properly.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently had to format my W995 as it was getting sluggish. It used to take a really long time to load once the phone was switched off. (It could be due to the mods though. The only two mods were Rodriguez' HDX 3.0 cam driver and LightEffects V3.) And finally, the other day, the phone turned unresponsive and I had to restart the phone but it would just show the standby screen and the screen would just turn off and turn on again.
I had to flash it with SEUS and it works well now. My only issue is that Opera Mini 5 (and the versions before that i.e. 4.2) simply doesn't work over wifi. It now only works using my 3G connection. It used to work perfectly fine before flashing. The Netfront browser does work over wifi and I've even manually entered the IP address, DNS, Gateway etc. Any ideas on where I'm going wrong? Local connections are enabled and other programs can connect over wifi.
In a usage time of this phone I had a problem with function Wi-fi. At connection to ad-hoc networks the exchange of packages does not occur. What should I do? I tried to adjust ip-addresses and a network mask manually, to change cryptography techniques, but it hasn't helped.
View 15 Replies View RelatedI have just acquired a W995 & have set up a Wi-Fi link to my home network but am not sure if it is using that instead of my Mobile Phone connection. The Wi-Fi icon is green but when I try to connect to the internet a small e appears above the signal strength bars. Using a French network provider, my data allowance is very small, so would prefer to use Wi-Fi to pick up e-mail & other internet services. How can I force a Wi-Fi connection if one is available ?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm sure this has been done to death but I can't find any links on here. My phone started not working so I switched off, sincve when it won't go past the Sony logo before the screen goes blank. It is seen by the PC for a few seconds every minute or so, and that's it. I can't do anything with it, and the battery is charged and the sim card is not faulty.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy nearly 1 year old W995 has just started to switch itself off for no reason. Battery is charged and have tried a replacement battery also. There is no pattern and just happens at random 2-3 times a day. Have tried the software update but it still happens. Only way to clear the problem is to remove the battery and then it will restart!

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there anyone with a W995 (Brown cert) with the latest fw R1HA036 who can extract the mentioned app? I'm quite bummed that the new fw doesn't allow manual installation for the Facebook app I've been using since the last fw. It's strange that after the fw update my APAC-ANZ doesn't come with it while another phone with the same CDA and fw does. Actually it does allow manual installation, it just doesn't integrate itself with the phone anymore, ie. able to log on but I can't view any of the pictures, there's no Facebook link for 'send to' in the photo gallery which used to allow me to upload photos directly to my Facebook page etc. Am kinda wondering if any of you kind souls could help me out with this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Sony Ericsson W995 and i've had it for about a year now. About 2 weeks ago my space button just randomly packed up. And now my "5" button is also starting to play up, when i press the button nothing happens so sometimes i may be pressing it 10-20 times before it works, Anyone else had this problem? Or can suggest how to fix it?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had my phone for at least a year now and suddenly today it won't turn on. This also happened maybe 30mins-1hr after turning it off. It was working fine but now no matter how I try turning it on, the buttons just light up and it vibrates but nothing comes on the screen. Is this a battery problem or a screen problem? I have to take out the battery before I can try turning it on again. And also it won't charge. I tried searching for answers but haven't found anything.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've tried several times to synchronise my new W995 to this site. However, the sync setup won't work. I follow the step by step instructions on this site, but I only get to the point when they tell me I will receive an SMS with instructions, after I give my phone type and phone number. As nothing happens, I tried "manual setup". Then, all I see is "Manual Setup", completely blank, with no instruction whatsoever! All I can click is "Done", but nothing can be done if I don't receive the sms and if there are no instructions for manual setup. How is that supposed to work? This site is a joke! I would be done sooner copying all my contacts one by one into the new phone or sending them one by one via Bluetooth!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have had the W995 for close to a month now on a contract from Virgin and I am very pleased with it in almost every aspect apart from one!
The problem is as follows.
When I connect to my WI-FI via the W995 I wait until I get confirmation that I am connected and then I attempt to access the internet via the browser provided by Sony Ericsson. After a short time I get the message 'Communication error. Try again, turn off Wi-Fi or contact your provider for support'. I have tried many things to fix this problem. I have spoken to Sony Ericsson and they suggested altering my security settings on the router. I have tried using Opera Mini as an alternative browser and perhaps 2 or 3 times it worked for a minute or two and then it failed. I have searched quite a few websites and seen that an awful lot of people have the same problem without getting anywhere with it. There are occasional suggestions that I have read and tried such as manually configuring the service and putting various IP addresses into my phone but nothing works!
I can't seem to transfer music from my Mac to my W995- any ideas.
