Hii.. i am k770i user in Indonesia and using Axis ( support GSM , GPRS , EDGE , 3G , HSDPA )
but now i experiencing problem that if i use my K770i i'll never get 3G signal ( i already set the phone to enable 3G mode ). But when i using my SIM card at another 3G phone ( T700i ) the 3G signal appear ( so i assumed that my SIM Card no problem )..
Do anyone have this problem too ? or someone can solve my problem ??
( I already reset all setting at my phone )
Thanks

I'm not sure but it might be the K770 having a lower sensitivity, hence bad reception for 3g.

I guess you mean this comment, hidden in between all the 4 and 5 stars comments...
"Reviewed by billy from surrey on 14th Mar 2008
had the phone for a few days and generally great but FORGET THE 3G NETWORK . sorry for shouting but this is very important. my network provider and sony ericsson have acknowledged that this phone does not work satisfactorily and requires a "higher than normal" 3g signal. if the internet and videocalling are important to you then this phone is NOT fit for purpose. I will keep this phone if i can get my provider to unlock the prefered network facility so that i can fix it onto a 2g network. otherwise it has to go back as it keeps on imsisting on logging onto 3g even when it cannot work in my area or anywhere else i have been on 3g. apart from the 3g problem i would give it 5 stars but instead it gets...

I don't think this is representative of the usual performance of a K770i. One of my friends just got a K770i a week ago, I'll ask him but he's not one who uses many 3G services despite being a former Vodafone employee.
Edit: Actually, thats a 15 month old review and there would have been plenty of firmware update since then.

i bought mine last december and it's current software version is 1202-3599 R8BC004 071211.
not sure if it's the latest but i don't mind updating cause i don't see any problems aside from the weak 3G compared to other phones..
Posted by frendygo
ow...it's same as mine.
i bought it on April 2009
first time i used it w/ excelcomindo operator and 3G works good but now after i used axis network the 3G signal never appear and even i using excelcomindo operator it never appear again..
Huh..Dizzy

Try switching to 3G only in the "GSM/3G networks" option in the settings/connectivity/mobile networks menu...
If that doesn't help it may be a simcard problem also... A while ago i was using 3g in my old p1 and when activated MMS it stopped working... I had to change my sim card in order to make the 3g work properly. It was the same issues (3g icon not appearing and i couldn't use it at all)...

@ strizlow800 : i already set that before and it's same..but when i use that simcard on another sony ericsson ( T700i) at the same place the 3G icon on T700i was appeared.
So i think the matter is on the phone. Do you think so bro. strizlow800 ??

I would update the firmware via SEUS and if there is no change then take it in for servicing.

@all
I've got a similar problem, but I'm using my k770 as a dial-up modem with my laptop I know which numbers it has to dial but when I dial for a 3G connection it gets me an error message which tells me "The PPP link was terminated", even with full 3G signal
any ideas?

I have a T610, which is pretty ancient. So many old
are going cheap now. I'm on the look out for a mint Cybershot C901.

I have a "mint" C905a
Bought sealed but it had been so long stored that the rubber finish of the battery cover is gone...
Posted by goldenface
Yes. Back when
phones had Xenon flashes. I still don't think they have been bettered.

Some operators are going to switch off 21OO MHz 3G (to use 2100 MHz for 4G). It happens also here in my country in Estonia. 3G is alive mainly in 900 MHz. So old 3G phones (2100 MHz only) can't find 3G network anymore...
