I have a really strange bug in my z1010 and im wondering if this is software or hardware problem (if i need to send it on service).
The problem is that a couple of days ago i transfered an mp3 from my computer to my z1010 to use as a ringsignal, everything seemed to work fine the tune played itself nicely and all, but when trying to play the tune a while later my z1010 just gives me "the tune cannot be played..." and as if this wasn't enough NO sound playes at all. When someone rings the phone doesn't make a sound, if i see that the phone is ringing i can answer but i can't hear anything absolutely no sound comes out of the speaker. I restart the phone and it works for a while again. Naturally i removed the mp3 from my phone and everything workes perfectly.
So i called up SE and they say that there hasn't been any reported errors on this and that i should send my phone on service. But i think it sounds unlikely that this is a hardware error since it only appears with this specific mp3, more likely is that it is a bug in their software.
I have put the mp3 on the net at http://www.batliv.net/smb.mp3 (super mario bros tune), if anyone with a z1010 could test this file and se if they get the same error i would be very greatful.

That wap new to me. It must be because the phone can only support mp3 bitrates up to 196, and fankofer encodings. Try to re-encode the song with some program to wav,and then back to mp3. That should help, cos it is only that song.

Ok, i haven't found any word about such limitations in my user's manual. The tune is only 64kbit btw.
And even if this is a fact that some mp3 tunes are incompatible this shouldn't case the entire phone to mess up, i just want to know if this is a general problem with all z1010 so that i can call up SE and tell them to make better FW =).

My guess is that the mp3 is corrupt. Any mp3software that you use on your computer will accept/ignore it, but not the player in z1010. Had a similar problem, I just reencoded and the problem was fixed. Long filenames seems to be a problem aswell...
Sony Ericsson stuff I use:
W880i | HBH-DS970 | HCB-300 | CDS-60 |

Hmm is there any good way of checking if an mp3 is ok other than trial and error?
Still think that it should be better support for this in z1010.
