Bought the p800 on Friday from Orange, the phone is not as big as expected and the features all excellent as expected. Well worth the wait u guys..........
The only issue with the phone is when it is connected to my pc using Win xp professional, it seems to hang sometimes, the pc locks up.
Can anybody relate to this problem or does somebody have a fix??? |

For the first time the connection per USB took little bit longer, but now it is immediately connected. No problem on mine.

This question is not directly related to this thread but I am having problems with the usb connection. My xp pro laptop is not recognizing the connection. I've gone and checked the pc connection on the phone and also on the com ports but nothing seems to work. I have installed the suite and it works with ir but not with the usb. Any ideas? |

Check in your BIOS on your laptop and see if the USB port is "active".
Should work... |

Yep.. it would be virtually impossible for the speed of the cpu to be a problem.
It could be a problem to have a strange chipset (wierd southbridge for usb) such as some sort of unknown via board...
It works fine on my BX440 and NForce2 mind  If only I could get the bluetooth serial port working  |

I have the same problem. I also downloaded the newest software from SE but everytime I want to make a sync I have to unplug and replug the USB cable from my p800. Otherwise it says that the usb port is already in use though there is no app running!! really strange!
maybe someone can help |

there are many different ways of troubleshooting this, but I would start with making sure that another USB device works in the same PC.
Did you uninstall any other mobile phone software?
Have you got the correct USB drivers for your motherboard installed? (Not just the XP ones on newer systems)
Have you got any processes running in the background (such as scanner / printer software) which are holding the ports?
Have you got any irq conflicts in Device Manager?
Just some things for you to try.

I have Windows 2000 w/service pack 3....system crashes and/or freezes with PC Suite version 1.1.1 loaded. No problems..so far when software uninstalled. I have emailed Sony...hopefully can get resolution.
