I think WSOD migh happen if you:
1. Take out the battery in a hurry before the system finishes restoring,e.g. changing SIM Card without a longer waiting for it to completely and safely shut down. You should wait at least 1 min.
2. pull out charger whilst recharging in a sudden..
3. forget to safely remove hardware in PC connection.
To avoid WSOD, regularly take out the battery for some time. |

I'm curious... has anyone been in contact with SE, or has SE said anything regarding the WSOD? As to me is seems rather peculiar for the SE flagship model to have so many problems, still none of which have been resolved.

I've had white screen on many of my phones. The trick is to let the phone restart itself. DO NOT switch it off. It takes about a minute for the phone to restart to the main screen. Hope this helps. |

that's right, the same thing happened to me. I was shocked when it first happened and didn't do anything, then it fix by itself.

Mine has also died 
One night it went to a white screen, then would kinda re-boot itself. It did this many times, and then appeared to be fixed. Phew.
So I went to sleep and when I woke up the phone was off and won't come on at all.
I bought my phone on ebay, and the (power) user is no longer registered, so I'm screwed. |

You could maybe try a firmware and EROM update and see if that helps

Mine died last week...pressing the power button just made the IR LED blink 5 times, nothing more. It's in repair with CPW right now, hopefully I'll have it back next week, I've been reduced to a nokia 1101 right now, it's depressing.

It's better than having no phone at all! I've posted on a similar thread about how my K800i got the white screen of death just yesterday. It's pathetic really. Happened to my friend also who bought his a few months ago. Loadza peeps on esato have claimed they've had it too. If only this forum could do polls...

Hi, I've had a SE K800i for about 6 months now, few weeks ago it startedt the good old white screen of death, although would normally fix itself! Last week it white screened and wouldn't restart, I resigned myself to the fact it was dead, took out my sim and merrily started using my old K750i again... A day later the K800i was awake and working again...
BUT... it died again a few hours ago, restarts fine, but the menu seem to be too far up (i.e. is off the screen), the only options I have are 'select' and 'info' displayed at the top of the screen... if i click 'select' (I think I'm answering that I want to start in normal mode, but can't see the option) I can type my pin, the 'select' button at the top then changes to 'ok' and the phone lets me in... only problem is... I have no menus, can't call etc. etc.
Any ideas, or have I got the ordeal of O2 returns to go though
Ta, Ben. |

Mine and my friend K800i are dead too. Mine was freeze when playing games, and I turn it off, and never come back on, and the IR flashing when I try to turn on. And mine friend K800i dead when he want to switch SIM card, and never back on. Same flashing IR. My friend send his phone over to SE service center in USA, and they said they cannot fix it, they offer a replacement but not gonna be the same model, too bad my friend didn't check his email, so SE send his phone back without replacement. And my phone, I did dismatle the whole phone, I disconnect everything that can be disconnect from the main board for an hour or so, and put back together, and still wont power up, and the IR still flashing when I try to turn on. So.. I just gonna keep my phone until SE do something. |

all you need to do is flash the erom using wotonserver if you had the blinky red light! when my died it was when i took out the charger too fast it wouldnt turn back on. |

Old EROM again?...but how come? Mine works just all right despite my old R13A011..I plug/ unplug charger, change SIM, run out battery, plug/unplug USB data cable, and NOT EVEN a WSOD..thanks God then. Yes, SESC or Wotan Server is the way out. |

Aremaboy and me most one of the few. I've had my silver k800
since O2 UK released it and it's not missed a beat at all. No
freezes, no WSOD, no dropped calls - nothing !!!
I have to admit to wotaning it from the O2 original as soon as I
could - maybe that's what saved it !!!
I reject your reality and substitute my own. |
