Push and hole joystick right to fastforward or left to rewind through music or video's! :-)

Posted by RyaN
to save your joystick usage, use 1 or 3 to go back or forward a track. 2 to pause/play, and 4 or 6 can be used to ffwd or rewind.

Is there any way you can see how long is left on a song in the walkman player?

Posted by seanflynn
Yes by looking at the screen which is playing the song, I am sure it gives you the duration?

is there some w800i firmware for a silent shutter?

Posted by Skrue
in flight mode or 'music only' pause a song while playing then lock the keypad. open the lens cover and you now have the cam functions in flight mode. don't know if this works with the W800i but it works well with my k750i flashed to w800i - R1K firmware...

Posted by max_wedge
Awesome Skrue, that's a hot tip!

Posted by Skrue
max - yeah, its a cool tip, just read it over some forums and thought that i needed to share it here.

totally looking for the same thing. it's super annoying. called SE (US) and asked for new firmware. nothing.

Posted by jcwhite_uk
My shutter doesnt make a noise when in silent mode on my w800

Posted by scapevlocity
i'm so jealous!=( which firmware are you running? mine's R1L002, EU_1

Posted by celltech
when browsing opera mini and you want to back to other menus without exiting opera, hold down the back key the one below the menu key it gives the option to minimize opera.

Posted by brix25
@celltech: All the latest SE's since the K750 have the ability to minimize applications.

how do i do that on the w800? whenever i hold down the back key it just reverts to standy mode. (i'm so used to the nokia series 60 function of getting to run multiple applications at once)

i still have the camera sounds problem!=(

Posted by brix25
I know on the K600/750 you minimize applications by pressing the activity button and choosing the minimize option.


Posted by scapevlocity
I called Sony Ericsson (US) and apparently US versions of the phone don't have the option of turning camera sounds off because of certain laws. Whatever. Friggin' loud camera sounds. Also on the w800 there's so option to minimize applications other than the radio and mp3 player.

Is there any way for me to rollback the driver/firmware to an older version or to just replace it with an international one? =(I'm so frustrated.

Posted by REWER
hey guys yday i was playing with my camera button and i figure it out something i hope it's new
if you feel so lazy to go to menu then camera

I think you will find....all you need to do whilst in music mode is to lock the keys and open the lens cover to enter the camera mode....does not matter if the music is playing or not

Posted by REWER
cooool thanx smilerthe cheshirecat it's lazy trick too add mine to your lazy tricks....i want to know is there any trick or something to enter music only or walkman mode when im in phone mode without doing a restart ????

I was annoyed that if you are back on your main screen while the walkman is playing, I had to press the walkman button then right/left on the joystick to go forward/back a track.

Just realised that if you hold down the volume up/down that skips tracks too when you are away from the walkman function.

Also for Opera Mini users right/left joystick is page up/page down which makes scrolling pages much faster.

That's written on the user manual.

When viewing pics (horizontal mode), press 1/3 to zoom in/out (alternative from using +/- buttons).

Posted by levo75
this is something i found out when i had the w800i
just a couple of days.

you can play your music very loud compared to walkman
throw settings/aounds & alerts/ringvolume
you adjust the lume from 8 to 7 back to 8 again
your selected ringtone usually a mp3.

it makes a lot more sound throw the speaker
the only downside is that it really drains your battery
really handy in buisy area's though.

an other way of increasing volume is throw equilizer in walkman
you adjust it manually.
first bar to max 2nd bar to max 3rd to abou 2/3 (not further then yellow)
4th same as 3r 5th to maximum
and offcourse volume to max
this seems usefull to most songs without really disrupting the quality
if you have other combo's plz post



Posted by wuduhel
not sure if it's been mentioned but it's easy to sync w800i with WMP. make sure you select create folders under sync options and it will but the tunes onto the memory stick in music/artist/album/song format. it doesnt' matter that they're in a folder called music instead of mp3 the phone recognizes them. very handy to sync

Posted by abbafan1972
Are the tips and tricks the same for the K750 also, as these phones are quite similar?

You top geezer! I've been having nightmares since I got my first W800 in Sep '05.
Disc2Phone is a pile of cr4p and has been driving me mad, saying songs were transferred but when I disconnect the USB lead and hit the W, they're not there or sometimes songs do transfer but the bitrate doesn't get dropped down to 128k and the phone won't play 'em. Dragging and dropping has given me all sorts of issues with failing playback on the phone and some songs not transferring. On the bright side, I got a brand new replacement from Orange in March (same problems though) and got scot-free of the remaining contract too! Now to get it unlocked and unbranded...

I only kept WMP on my PC as a little F*** you to realnetworks, but this is brilliant! Top tip!

to turn OFF camera sound, change profile to Meeting or Silent mode.

Posted by mongoose3800
In most regions you can not turn off the camera sound. Even if you switch to silent or meeting mode. At least the w800 and k750 have a decent camera click. It's far better than the loud crash sound of my old k508. I know the K700's and K300's also have this crash sound. With the w800 I don't see why some see it as important or even urgent to have the sound off - at least with the sound forced on dirty little perverts and the like will find it hard to take photos in change rooms and toilets. Plus, with the sound you know when you have taken the photo.

Posted by bl3ach
yeah i was reading this forum and i was saying why the hell do you want the sound off unless u want to upskirt people or taking pictures in toilet you bastards out there haha!!!!


BLEACH~

Posted by khuram_b
i think its only vodafone phones which can stop camera sound in silent mode, R1C004.

GETTING MY NEW W810i TODAY !!

Posted by Born_Dead
Is there a way to use the camera function in the IN-FLIGHT mode on w800i??? my firmware is R1BC002.

Posted by chrisdaemz
yes just lock the keypad and then open the lens cover. That's it

HIDING MEDIA FILES in w800i (should work on k750i n w550i as well)
i have no idea if this has already been POSTED before...but what the heck!

as we know that all of us have certain things stored in our mobiles which we want to keep away from others' view, for instance video clips,images. SE doesn't provide a folder lock. So when ur friend accidentally turns on the Walkman, goes to Videos, and then : WHAT THE **** ! all the vids u stored n wanted others not to see them, are all out in the open. Well, here's a simple way to avoid this kind of 'embarrassment'. for this u'll need to connect ur mobile to the PC...

1>connect ur mobile to the pc using the USB cable, as u would normally, to transfer files

2>open the REMOVABLE DRIVE(memorystick/mobile memory)

3>now go to the folder where u initially saved ur 'classified' videos, CUT (copy+x) the files. (this is to move the files to a much 'SAFER' location...lol)

4>come out of the folder and go to the EXTERNAL MEMORY folder, doubleclick OTHERS, make a NEW FOLDER of any name u want and PASTE(control+v).
(u might want to save the PASTING part for now n do it in step 6)

# if you follow through steps 1-4, the problem of unwanted videos showing up in the WALKMAN should be solved.

now here's the trick one step further...this one is to 'visibly hide' the unwanted files in ur mobile..lol

5>after u have made a NEW FOLDER in the OTHERS folder, make about 10 more folders with 'NEW FOLDER' as the folder name in this manner:

NEW FOLDER/NEW FOLDER/NEW FOLDER/NEW FOLDER/NEW FOLDER/NEW FOLDER/NEW FOLDER/NEW FOLDER/NEW FOLDER/NEW FOLDER/

so now we have NEW FOLDER inside NEW FOLDER inside NEW FOLDER inside NEW FOLDER inside NEW FOLDER ......n so on...

6>now paste the videos,images u want to hide in the LAST folder in the loop.

from now on, when ur fren or bro opens the OTHERS folder, he'll find nothing but a folder named NEW FOLDER. and if he's snoopy enough and opens the folder, he'll again find NEW FOLDER...this will keep on happening until he opens all the 10 folders.(u can make as many folders as u wish...the more the better). but i don't think anybody who hasn't read this post would want to do that!

i think this should do the trick.....

i have an elder brother who's always a 'SNOOPY '...and this one worked for me...

This option to use the camera in music only mode doesn't work for me. I am K750i flashed to W800i, using this firmware (I think!).
