Hi, I bought a w800i on eBay last week, the guy didnt sell the box etc, just the phone and the charger.
I bought a memory stick duo for it, assuming it would then allow me to take photies.
I put the memory card in today and I still cant take photos, I dont know whether the phone has a faulty camera or what?

My phone HAS found the card, so its not that.
The viewing of things on the screen works fine and when i press the button the autofocus kicks in and i have set the phone to save on the memory stick not the phone. It just wont actually take the picture after the autofocus.

PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP ME ON THIS!!!
It would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks alot
Dan

Not really, dont have a clue where one is plus i got it off ebay...if that makes a difference.. the guy i bought it from said he didnt really use the camera but it was in working order... does it sound bad to you?
I wondered if it was some setting or something... i tried a master reset... no different!
Can u think of anything I could try..
thanks in advance

Just press the camera button to half way until it beeps, then push it all the way in. If you push it all the way in it doesn't work. The autofocus takes a couple of seconds (that's what the beep is for).
