 ok then...
When I try to update the phone via the internet, I am being told that there is no new software available. I do however know that the current software is old and that a new version is available.
I also had a service store to upgrade it. They tried but failed in doing so. They told me that it was because the simcard lock had been open by someone other by my mobile company. The upgrade program registers that the software on the phone has been altered and will not accept the upgrade.
I believe this is what I can tell with my knowledge... otherwise just ask

That sounds correct, since your firmware has been "altered" so to speak.
Looks like you will probably need to upgrade your firmware with DaVinci. I don't know that much about it, so just do a search for "DaVinci" on this forum and there should be several posts on how it works and how it's done.
Hopefully someone with some knowledge on using it will jump in here to give you some advise. But it should be able to be upgraded in this manner. |

The MP3's disappearing is a firmware fault, however, the memory stick dying is the fault of the memory stick itself. The w800 is not at fault there.
When my w800's mem stick died (the 512mb that came with it) I just replaced it with a Sony 256mb stick, and it's as good as gold. (although the capacity isn't quite as large  )
SE should be ashamed for sending out all these phones with defective pro duo sticks.

I know the memory stick is not the phones fault, but here they have to take everything the including the phone if something is faulty.
So i would rather take the new phone with a worjing memory stick than spending more money and buying a new one.
To all, thanks for the forum, helped alot with understanding the problems woth the w800i |

I have the same problem that ilmostro have, but my phone is a w700i: one day it just stop working and started giving a flashing screen every time it have the memory stick is in it.
I tried with another card, change the firmware, did a SEUS update... but the problem continues.
Did you get to fix it?
SE w700i
SanDisk 256mb (original one)
PS: The other problem that the other people are saying (data erase from the memory), probably is because the memory card is fake |
