Hi,
I have searched and searched through every forum, but i cannot find a definitive answer to my problem. So lets put the record straight: Can I use a serial data cable with my t300? I have recently brought one (obviously meant for the t68) and cannot get my computer to recognise it, evn with phone monitor and other software. I contacted SE and they said that the t300 was never designed to be used with a data cable. Is this true? Or is there still a way i can use it?
Please reply with your thoughts!

I can understand that you are confused on this, there is indeed no definitive answer to be found. However, I searched this forum and others on the net and from that I can extract that a datacable can be connected between T300/T310 and a PC for MMS and pictures, BUT, SE does not provide/support synchronisation of the phonebook or sms messages between phone and computer.
So in effect you cannot transfer phonebook entries and sms! At least not what SonyEricsson is concerned. This is a serious mistake in my point of view...
But there appears to be a solution, one can buy a infrared adapter called MA-620 USB Infrared Adapter. This comes with software that supposed to handle the phonebook and sms issues (and more). However, I did not test this until now and perhaps somebody can support this claim?
Take a look at this link: http://www.matweb-01.com/
Hope this helps and somebody can give some experiences on this device.
Grtz,
Baas

Oh, in that case:
Go to the SE site!!!
SE site > Global Support > Choose your phone model and then it gives the available (software) downloads for your phone.
Easy!

yes but is that for a serial data cable, if so ive tried. and it doesnt work, and SE said that it isnt meant to work, so i doubt they would put any software that dus on there, ive tried all of it!
Posted by hingus2000
ive been to that site and downloaded the appropriate software, but my pc still dont recognise that their is anything attatched, do you know what could be wrong?

ok dude i had these same problems trying to connect my t300 to the computer, you need:
package5_1_5_5
SE MyPictures
Christerssons Sendfile
the package file i obtained from a link somewhere on these forums, cant remember where, so have a search for "t300 data cable" and eventually you should find what you need. its a hefty 15mb file though. it includes the Mobile phone manager. once you have installed all that stuff, check that your t300 is recognised in the MPM in the control panel. it should try to synchronize the time between your computer and phone, and then "t300" will appear in the MPM window. then load up MyPictures, file menu, send file to phone, the progress bar will appear to let you know that your phone is connceted, load up sendfile, and then you can send anything you want to the phone. you can even backup (some) stuff with Christersssons backup...
hope all that helps

I think i found the thread you are on about. However all the links are broken. Could you email the software to me hingus2000@hotmail.com or give me a link.
Many thanks

so what does it take to send stuff (namely pictures) from the phone to the computer, without having to pay for T-Zones service?

hingus2000:

i found a broken link while looking for it aswell, but i found one when i delved a little deeper... so keep using that search function, you should find a valid link
other guy: you can only send stuff from phone to computer via bluetooth or ir

ive searched for t300 data cable loads of times, and get 8 pages which i have been through thoroughly, what should i search for? Is there a link on the SE website straight to it? Plz help

http://www.sonyericsson.com -> global support area -> T300 -> Imaging & messaging
Works with serial/usb cable and IR
=================
Sony Ericsson Image Editor is a free software that lets you crop, zoom, rotate, adjust color, contrast and brightness settings for many PC image file formats. You can then send the resulting image directly to your phone.

I think its easier2buy a ir device than2go thru all this hassle.or u can send them thru wap on email.i have unlimited wap so4me it doesnt matter.but an ir d ev its around 20$-cheaper than a usb
Posted by hingus2000
its not f**kin hassle, all someone needs 2 do is just send me a link for that package. WHy does everyone on this message board turn it into a cryptic puzzle by saying search a little deeper and ull find it. Whats the harm in just sendin a damn link! Please.

OK... noticed another issue. I had to set the COM port speed to be exactly at 9600 to get it to work. There is no such issue with my R520m or T200.
You can try by going into Hyperterminal in Windows Accessories. A COM port speed of anything other than 9600 would show garbage on the screen when you issue AT commands.

Posted by paragers83
alright dude, quit your moaning... i did some searching for you today...

head to that address and download. its a 17mb file, follow the instructions, including uninstalling all other mobile phone monitors you have already installed. ignore the stuff about the ir connectivity a must, this package worked fine for me.
make sure you have your phone connected via cable aswell when its installing... if all goes well the program should synchronize your phone with the clock on the computer, well thats what happened to me at least. once its installed, follow the instructions i posted earlier in this thread.
let me know how you get on...

i have another version of MPM on control panel, but ever since i started installing some of this mobile phone software the list in add/remove programs has dissappeared and only a few programs are in it (the ones i installed since the old 1's went). Therefore i am unable to remove the old MPM software, is there a way round this? ive tried uninstalling it from C:\program files\ericsson etc....
