Moving to ext. memory didn't work for me when I tried backing up my games and ringtones just the other day prior to sending the phone to SE USA for repairs. By that I mean that feature is disabled for restricted content like say Aero Mission or 3D Tennis, or the Sony Ericsson ringtone or Greeting.mid

Yeah, that's what I meant by this:

Also, it won't work for the presupplied games (Super Tennis and what have you), for reasons that will become clear.

Not sure if it's possible for game suppliers to restrict you from moving to ext. mem also, but so far, haven't seen any games other than the ones coming with the phone, that have that feature disabled. |

I tired moving the game bejeweld to external mem.
it moved to folder MSSEMC\Sytem\ams
i found three files there :
bejeweled.sest 1 KB
bejeweled_2.sest 1 KB
bejeweled_223.jar.sest 106 KB
i think it's the third file which i need to backup renaming it to .jar
i'm using R1J.

That .sest extension makes me wonder... No .sest extension on the ones I've moved to external memory. May be that a developer can set some value in the manifest file inside the jar so that the phone will encrypt the file when moved to external mem? (Since SEST smells of "Sony Ericsson... Something... Terrible"?)  Or may be just different from J to L firmware?
Try and test it - you don't have to overwrite the game you downloaded, if you just rename it in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file inside the .jar - change the "MIDlet-name" to something different. (Won't work to just move the game to the applications folder or whatever, the phone will still ask if you want to overwrite it).
(Well, I guess, if you can open it with WinZip/WinRAR to do that, it's not encrypted  )

it's not working. 
i tried removing the game and replacing the .jar file (.jar.sest renamed to .jar) But no result.  may have put some kind of encryption. 
Even winrar refuses to open it saying it as unknown or damaged archive.
i think it is firmware specific.

Yeah, if WinRAR won't open the .jar file, it's encrypted. Ah well, guess it only works on some less protected games (or, like you say, it's firmware-related). If I find some games it doesn't work on, I'll be checking if there's a way to decrypt it

Don't Know if this has been mentioned before.. actually it was pointed out to me by my friend who had the k700... I tried it on my k750 too..
Well You can increase the volume of the Media player (mp3s) by a significant amount by manually increasing all the bars in the equaliser settings... and i don't think there is any compromise in quality... I'm not an equalizer expert, but my ears definitely detected an improvement in the quality as well as volume of the mp3s...and with the headset on - the volume is deafning on maximum...
Go to Media Player > More > Select Equaliser > Manual... and then manually increase all the 5 bars till the top > Save.
I hope this was of use to some of you...
-Cheers
Edit: The Volume increases only if the files are played through music player and not through the file manager.

Just reached home and tested the Speaker Volume too after manually increasing the equalizer bars (initially had tried just with the headset)... there is atleast a 30% increase in the volume when playing music...
Sony all the way |

selection is all that works. no one has figured out a way to copy/paste in K700/K750. |

is there anyone who knows how to increase ringtone volume of k750i? i've just discovered that .wav tones can be used as ringtone... |

not just wav, u can also use mp3 etc as tones. if maximum 'Ring Volume' is still not enough for you, encode the wav file to mp3 and boost the volume by normalizing the sound level to something like 150% or 200%.
Search on google for encoding and normalization, if you don't know how to do that |
