And im assuming of course the w950i can play the same mp4 encoded videos that the k800 can play?
Also can you put a screen protector on it, or will that interfere with the touch screen interface?

Can't answer about the mp4, but a screen protector makes no difference to the useability of the touchscreen
Posted by bavlondon2
Can someone confirm the part about playing mp4s?
All i want to know is can it play the same ones i would have used on my w800 and k800.
Im sure it can but i want to make sure lol

Hi everyone. I just wanted to ask if anyone has any build quality issues with the w950. Mine seemed fine till yesterday, I realised that if i put my thumb on the screen and apply a little pressure, and move my thumb the screen can actually slide around for 1 - 2 mm. I'm not sure if the phone was built this way, or should I send the unit back for replacement? Can some forummers please confirm this?
BTW I'm on O2, and havent received any firmware updates yet. Anyone out there experienced any firmware updates for O2 W950s yet? My firmware is as follows:
Phone:
CXC 162037 R9C001
Organizer:
CXC 162088 R1B01
Bluetooth:
CXC 162058 R3A01
CDA:
CDA 162017/8 R1A08
Thanks guys.

Yes dude me and you are on the same boat. i am on O2 as well with the same CDA etc.
I have tried my best to update it through SEUS but it sucks. I contacted SE UK call center about this issue and they told me, there is an update available for my phone and i can do it through SEUS. I went through all the steps but at the end it says "No Updates Available and that My phone has the latest FW installed" but why that guy from SE UK call center told me about an update for my phone? To tell you he didn't reply to any of my mail afterwards and he will never in the future due to the EU restrictions on this awesom peace of phone.
Any how I am looking to send it to SEunlock.co.uk they will sort out every thing about this phone.
Posted by sterius
That's pretty much what I got too. Not even the looping problem which a lot of w950 users have. To tell you the truth I'm damn pissed off that SE and O2 are pushing the blame around, with SE not bothering to pressure O2 and O2 being too lazy to get a new firmware out.
Do you have the loose screen problem btw?
Posted by zyexx
Same here, I tried mine but it just says that I have the latest firmware installed

Has anyone transferred compilation albums to this phone and had it play the tracks in the correct order??
I can't for the life of me get this to work. Single Artist albums work fine and play in the correct order but for some reason I have compilation albums that refuse to play in the correct order.
All my tracks are named correctly and have track no's in the tags and the filename also has the track no as well.
Anyone??
Posted by aasimtom
To Sterius
what do you mean by loose screen problem btw? is it some sort of mechanical movement or you are talking about the processing of the Firware in between different tasks?
Posted by bavlondon2
In regards to album art how do you add this to the songs when transferring albums to the phone. Is this somthing done using the SE software of id3tag?
Posted by >500
@bavlondon2
all you need to do for albumart to work is..... get a jpeg image of the album or what ever you want, and save it in the folder you have created for that album....
Posted by bavlondon2
Is that it literally? I read you need to attatch it to part of the ID tag. Well at least this method sounds simple.
But what if youve got a folder in your phone with say 100 random mp3s, does that mean you have to have each song in its own folder if you want album art for each song?
Also did anyone get a chance to test that video clip i posted a few post back?

In regards to the screen problem, it is the actual touchscreen that has somehow come loose. The whole screen can slide about in the casing by 1 - 2 mm when I push with my finger.

Hi Guys,
I wrote a program called SyncMyPortable that is very useful for adding album artwork (and playlists) to the Symbian UIQ3 phones when using iTunes. Basically, the program allows you to sync any portable audio device that can be accessed as a Mass Storage Device with the music/playlists you have stored in iTunes. There are lots of advanced options including the ability to either embed album artwork into the music files themselves or to simply add the album artwork as a JPEG image to the album folder on the device (as is being discussed here). If interested, you can check it out here:

Yes.
Question from my side:
Is it possible to bookmark played videos?
i've got a 15 minute subway-ride to work an back so it would be cool to stop the video and resume it after work.
but whenever i stop a video and try to do anything (e.g. task manager) with the phone the player automaticaly closes.
is there a solution?
Posted by ashyak36
i was browsing my phone today to check how many sms i had sent on my w950i. i hav looked everywhere but i cannot find it. could someone help me out please and point me to where it is
Posted by OfficeMaven
@Taco
My unbranded W950i has a feature to bookmark videos and it works great! As long as you use a program like M3 to create your videos, the video player shouldn't be crashing on you (i.e. M3 has a special feature that adapts the videos so that they will work properly with the video player on the UIQ3 phones without crashing them).
The only problem I'm having with the bookmark feature on my W950, is that when I use it to resume a video, the sound is always out of sync. If I start the video normaly, it's in perfect sync every time. Thus, it looks like SE has a problem with their player in this reguard.
Posted by Taco
hey maven.
where's that feature? under "more"? can't find it on mine.
got an O2-branded phone from germany.
thx mate
Posted by masseur
yes, bookmark is on the more menu of the video player and you get the option to
save position
replace position
delete position
Posted by OfficeMaven
Yes, it's just like masseur said.
If you don't have the bookmark feature, then I guess that's just one more reason to avoid branded W950's. Seems kind of silly for the service provider to go through all the trouble of removing such a useful feature though???
Posted by Taco
indeed. just leaves one speechless why sth like that is being left off the phone on purpose.
next phone will definitely be unbranded.
thx anyway
Posted by masseur
...or simply get the one you have now debranded

Is there any text file viewer for W950i? (I can't belive that SE did not even provide a built-in text file viewer!)
I have installed jText - I get the error "Not found" when I try to run the problem!!??
Any help much appreciated.
Posted by withey
1st question
Can you pair the 950i with more than one bluetooth device at the same time?
I'm thinking of getting a bluetooth FM Transmitter and also a bluetooth headset. Would i be able to use both of these simultaneously together?
*************************
2nd question
I'm running Tom Tom on the phone as well. I've got the handset volume on max is there any way to increase the output volume?
Thanks
Posted by MasterMoo
just found this software: x-plore (beta) from 'lonelycatgames', basically a file manager with integrated text viewer and many other features!

today i got my phone out of my poket n now the jogdial will not move up or down. when i press it in it works and selects the option but when i scroll up or down nothing happens. any ideas how to fix this people? thankss
Posted by jepherberich
i just realized the W950i is neither present here nor here, supplanted by the non-UMTS W958c.
is announcing UIQ phones soon, so here's hoping they have a W990 or something up their sleeve (I don't find the need for a camera in a 
so see, I'm not exactly difficult to please) I'd like a better keypad and a sleeker, retro look like the K810

I can confirm that the swedish web page for sonyericcson doesnīt have the w950i listed. Itīs gone.

Crap update, no solution for this problem.
My Bluetooth is BLUELINK Audio-Mate Bluetooth Stereo Headset AWBSH1 and say is working WITH this devices:
Sony Ericsson: T68i/T610/T630/Z600/P800/P900/T610/Z600/S700/S700c/K750/V800/W800/S700i/P900 .
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=AWBSH1&cat=SPK
This headset is working fine in five differents sistems(my laptop, my pda, my dongle, my audio system and my pioneer car stereo) and NOT WORKING WITH MY W950I.
Only say in my Phone , The Bluetooth device is not authorized for this audio stream.
What the hell is this?
Sorry for my english, Spanish is my native language.
Actualization:
After update lastest firmware via SE, bluetooth is conecting only version 1.2 and NOT version 2.0 + ERD.
This SE W950I is a very nice piece of CRAP.

@rayitas,
Have you not seen the other W950 thread where someone has mentioned and now confirmed with the latest update your W950 no longer has Bluetooth 2.0 and could this be the cause of some of your woes.

I got my dance compilation album to play in the order they are mixed in. Go into My music,Playlist,tap on the play list until you have the list of tracks ,click More then Sort by . mine is in Order Added.
I checked the Playlist by connecting the W950i with the USB cable in Fast file transfer mode, used Notepad to open the playlist in the playlist folder they are
Cut and paste the tracks in order you want them played and save it.
I do not have track number in the ID3 tags so maybe another thing to try first is see if Sort by, Smart will use track order.
I still can't get the tiny bit of silence between one track to the next to join so they don't quite mix. On my Zen it overlapped onto the next track!
Posted by safc2403
I've managed to do it now. Bit of trial and error but I got there.
I had to put various artists in the artist field and artist and title in the title field. The problem seemed to be that the smart sort got a bit confused when it came up against 2 tracks of the same name (but different remixes).
Sorted now but it's still not great.
I would also like to see gapless playback implemented on this device but I'm probably won't bother holding my breath for it.

So has anyone tried the BBC for the W950 yet??

Hi I had my P990i unlocked and debranded by SEunlock and Yesterday I sent them my W950 for the same, A mate of mine has had his P990i done by them as well SEunlock are HIGHLY RECOMENDED

Hi!
I got an easy question ! W950i and TomTom.
What do you need to do to stop the W950 going to a screen saver kind of screen?
I suppose if the TomTom is active, then this will not kick in ?
I also know I can switch 'power save' off, currently it is set for 1 minute!
Yes, I know there are threads about TomTom, and I am wading through them all...
But I would appreciate a quick reply from a W950i and TomTom user !

Posted by Buttoneer
Hey I'd like to know how you got TomTom installed onto the W950i. I thought it needed to be installed on a memory card.
The backlight controls whether the screen stays bright or not and that is in the control panel.
Tools>control panel>device>backlight. Make sure backlight is just 'on' or 'on' for car holder if you have a car holder.
Screen saver is below backlight in the list.
Posted by gar1
hi i have a w950 and tomtom installed
it works fine for me,haven't had a problem yet apart from you need to end all other running programmes first or it might not start.
once tomtom is running screen saver or powersaving wont kick in so my advice to you if your using it it your car is to use a car charger.
the tomtom software will only work on your phone if you purchase the dvd version,it is the only tomtom product that has the uiq3 version on it.
don't bother getting it from tomtom theirselves i waited for 3 weeks and it still hadn't arrived so cancelled my order and got it from an online seller,and it arrived the following day. i also use the tomtom bluetooth gps reciever mk2 which works well and has a great battery life.
hope this helps
Posted by Buttoneer
Did you have any problems with the installation though? The P990 tomtom discussion thread suggested that it could be a problem as the tomtom installer insist on installing to a memory card.
Can you confirm whether it was a simple process or not?
Posted by ofiaich
thanks gar1 and Buttoneer!
I know to get the DVD software and can see it at Expansys. I guess I can hunt around and find it cheaper !
I have a Holux GPSSlim236 and use that with a Tunsten T3 and TomTom Naivigator 5!
I was thinking about use the W950i on foot !
I am also interested on buttoneer's question!

i had no problems whatsoever,just download tomtom home from their website and it will install from there,directley onto the phones memory.when you disconnect your 950 from your pc an installer programme will prompt you to finish the instalation. piece of cake m8.

Yep thats the one. Also ensure the phone is in File Transfer mode. This way TomTom Home will see the D: drive of the phone.
