Sony Ericsson w300i and iSync 2.2

I am the owner or a brand new Sony Ericsson w300i. This is a clamshell model of the popular 'walkman' brand cell phones.
Unfortunately, iSync does not recognize this phone. Does anyone have information on how to add support for this phone, or when an iSync update may support it?
Thanks.

Replying to my own question. Seems you can get the w300i to work with iSync by following the directions here:
http://mobile.feisar.com/z530isync22.html
Once you install that plugin, find the MetaClasses.plist file and modify it so that "W300" replaces all occurrences of "Z530". Then start iSync and everything should work (you may have to pair with the phone first).
I believe this works since the W300i is derived from the Z530.

Sony Ericsson W810i and iSync 2.4: "can not connect to this device"

I am using Mac OS 10.4.11 and iSync 2.4, which I believe are the most up to date versions. My Sony Ericsson W810i is shown as being compatible with iSync as shown on the iSync support page, but while I try to add the phone to it I get the message:
"W810i
iSync can not connect to this device".
Does anybody have any ideas how to sort this problem? I've tried restarting both my computer and phone before trying again.

I finally figured out how to fix this problem. The mobile phone had to be initially added by the computer under Bluetooth to pair them before adding the device to iSync. Adding the computer as a device to the phone to pair them, as I had been doing, didn't allow it to work with iSync.

Sony Ericsson k800i and iSync wont be friends

hello, iam having a small issue, i recently downgraded to tiger from leopard and tiger is telling me that iSync isn't compatible with my phone K800i when on the web it says it is compatible, is there a way to upgrade isync? on my leopard it synced perfectly.

To anyone who can help,
I'm not sure where else to post this, so i thought I'd try here. I just got a Sony Ericsson K790a (apparently same/similar to K800) and although bluetooth and iSync seem to work fine with this phone (using OSX 10.4.9) the removable storage features of the phone seem a little off. When I connect the phone via USB to a PC, it is immediately recognized as a drive (both in phone and in file transfer mode). However, with my intel iMac (home computer) it is another story.
When I connect the phone via USB, the phone does what it usually does on the screen, but nothing happens in phone mode or file transfer mode on the Mac (i.e. no drive shows up). When I restart the computer (set phone in file transfer on restart) and leave the phone connected, the drive shows up (and I imgine so would the memory card if I had one) and file/music transfers are fine so far as I can tell. HOWEVER, when I then try to eject the volume in Finder, the phone does not receive the "go ahead" and remains in a screen telling me I can't disconnect it. If I restart again, the phone has a brief period where it says it is safe to remove. This means that in order to transfer files to my phone with the Mac I'll have to reboot my computer twice (once to get the drive recognized, and once to eject it safely). Pretty frustrating/time-consuming.
Sony's people, although very friendly, have been incredibly unhelpful, telling me that it is definitely a Mac issue, they offer no support for Mac, nor articles in their knowledge base, or user forums for their products (so others might post a solution to what I imagine is not an isolated issue). I managed to find an article somewhere that said that they had an issue with drivers for the USB cable itself, however I tried installing both drivers he listed and neither changed anything.
Has anyone else had this issue or know anything about how to fix it? Is this normal or as good as it gets for these functions with the Mac? Anyone know of any third party apps (Adium, Crossover, etc) that might be interfering with these functions?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

Sony Ericsson w880i and iSync

Hi, when arrive an official plugin for SE w880i in iSync?
Tanks

Well, it took Apple nine months to add support for the K800i. So you could be waiting a very long time. There are also no guarantees that Apple will support any specific phones. They are encouraging third-parties to create plugins.
In the meantime you can get a Phone Plugin to sync the W880i now from here:

http://cnn.cn/shop/sonyericsson-k800i-c-28_168.html You can order the LCD screen for the K800 from here--I've used them before and their service is excellent.There are also some P1i spares on the same website.As far as I know, SE doesn't actually supply such spares.

Official Sony Ericsson P990i and W950i Phone Plugins

Sony Ericsson have finally released two very long awaited iSync Plugins:
Sony Ericsson P990i
Sony Ericsson W950i
No sign of M600 or P1i yet.

I had that problem, too. But I figured out a work-around. You just have to sync your data in small "chunks". In Addressbook, create a new group called e.g. "sync". In iSync you will only sync this group. Move a couple of contacts to this group, sync it, move some more, sync, etc. Do that until you synced all of them. Once finished, you can set iSync to sync all your contacts.
Do something similar for iCal data. Sync just one or a few calendars at a time and restrict the dates with the "Options" in iSync.
There are some issues, though. All-day events become events with a duration 0:00h-0:00h, some contacts get duplicate entries of some data (phone numbers, email addresses etc.) etc. The problem is, that this malformed / changed data will be synced back to your mac, when you sync your phone next time. So make sure to back up your addressbook / ical data before re-syncing your phone.
It's pretty buggy at the moment, but I hope, these issues will be addressed either by Apple or SE soon.
Good luck in the mean time…

Using Sony Ericsson Z710i with iSync

Does anybody know of a free solution to configure iSync/ address book with a Sony Ericsson Z710i?
I found a lot of spam from a company that starts with Fei and ends with sar.
Please don't post a link to them.

I found an article on editing the plist for iSync.
Article link:http://www.briantoth.com/razr_v3c/editmeta.php
The gest:
1. Locate iSync.app, usually in your Applications folder.
2. Right-click or ctrl+click iSync.app and choose "Show Package Contents" from the contextual menu.
3. Dig through the following folders: Contents > PlugIns > ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice > Contents > PlugIns > PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin > Contents > Resources. In that folder will be a file called MetaClasses.plist and icons for all the supported phones.
4. Open MetaClasses.plist in a text editor or preferably Apple's Property List Editor which comes with with Developer Tools package. You did make a backup first, right?
5. Once done editing, just save the file. You may or may not need to re-add your phone to iSync afterwards.

Sony Ericsson w300i certificate support

I am trying to install the app after signing from thwate generic certificate. The installation is success and works fine on all the devices i have used to far including the SonyEricsson devices.
But it is not installing on w300i. Can someone tell me if w300i supports some specific certificates only or it could be some other reason ?
Also, can i add my own certificate (i have thawte ) to sony ericsson devices. I could not find a way to add ...if someone knows, please tell me how to add certificates to device.

Hi fetchy :
I installed the same on w810i and it worked. Then i checked the certificates on both the phones . W810i has extra "Thawte premium server " certificate in addition to "Thawte premium" certificate. So may be deveoloper guideline;s dont distinguish between the 2 certificates.
To java_at_core:
i did not install the certificate.It comes as inbuilt.
My question is , if i want to install my certificate on top of what is there in phone, how to do it ..as W300 is not supporting the application signed with thawte root certificate ??

Sony Ericsson K800i and MacBook... How can I can connect to the web?

Hi guys,
I've recently bought a new K800i Sony Ericsson. I set up bluetooth with my MacBook and everything's ok, but... I cannot connect to the web with my MacBook via K800i as a modem. Do you have any suggestions how to deal with the problem? I don't know... I mean special scripts, settings, and so on.
Thanks a lot

Do you have the downloaded Modem files from the website (or possibly cd that came with it)?
I bought a SE K750i this summer and it has the same ability, and I went and downloaded a bunch of stuff off the website as my product was an international one and the Manual that came with it was in French. So I got my modem file at the same time.
It doesn't show where you are located, but if you are in the USA and your phone is an international one as well (the i usually stands for that) then you would probably want to hit up the UK version of the Sony Ericsson Website to find any possible downloads for it.

Sony Ericsson z520a and Mac dialing

Hello, all, looking for some insight. Just got in my Sony Ericsson z520a, replacing my old Siemens S56. I'm very happy with the Bluetooth performance of the z520a, including its compatibility with Salling Clicker, but I've noticed that the one function that I haven't been able to do with this new phone that never gave me a problem with the S56 is dialing from my Mac.
I've tried using Address Book and I've tried using BuddyPop, and neither seems to work. In fact, the functionality within Address Book seems to be parallel with the main bluetooth connection (i.e. if I'm paired, then the Address Book bluetooth toggle doesn't want to turn on).

There is no entry for the Z520 in the address book device command sets. The command sets file is this file:
/Applications/Address\ Book.app/Contents/Resources/Telephony.bundle/Contents/Resources/ABDeviceCommand Sets.plist
To edit in TextEdit from Terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal), triple click and copy, then paste in Terminal the following:
open -a textedit /Applications/Address\ Book.app/Contents/Resources/Telephony.bundle/Contents/Resources/ABDeviceCommand Sets.plist
type a return right after <array> and then copy and paste this text at the new blank line:
<dict>
<key>ABAnswerPhone</key>
<string>ata</string>
<key>ABAnswerWaiting</key>
<string>at+chld=2</string>

<key>ABSendSMS</key>
<string>AT+CMGS=%dBWACKRBWACKN</string>
<key>ABDial</key>
<string>ATD%@;</string>
</dict>
and then save and close the file. If Adress Book is running, quit it. Start Address Book and click the Bluetooth icon if it isn't already blue, you may need to accept the incoming connection on your cell phone. This should work for all the new Sony Ericsson phones, K750 W550 W600 W800 W810 W900 Z520

Sony Ericsson K810 and MacBook?

I'm looking at getting a K810 as my next mobile phone and wondered if anyone has any experience of how well this works with Bluetooth-enabled MacBooks.
I'm keen to get G3 data connectivity as the GPRS on the Nokia 6230i I'm currently using is slow and flaky, with frequent dropped GPRS connections even in areas of strong signal.
Any comments/advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Michael

I've got the phone but can't get it to connect. I had trouble getting the phone to use Orange Internet but got an update SMS from the Sony Ericsson site which fixed that, so the phone goes online OK and it pairs with MacBook fine. I ran the Bluetooth Setup from the laptop and it picked the Ericsson Infrared script by default, which didn't work at all, so I got Ross Barkman's Modem Scripts for Sony Ericsson 3G phones but can't make it work with any of them (CID 1 to 5). Some fail after a time-out with no apparent activity from the phone, others go right through to the 'Establishing connection' and 'Authenticating User' stage in the Bluetooth pane of Internet Connect and then the phone reports 'connection failure, check settings'. I got it to work once, using the CID 5 script but when I tried again it went back to the symptoms above.
Any suggestions please?

Sony Ericsson W900i and Adressbook SMS

I cannot get my Adress book to SMS with my SOny Ericsson. Is there a way to get this to work?

I can answer this question by myself and confirm that this hack is working. Simple to apply also.

Sony Ericsson Phone and Service are pathetic

All,
I know some one else would have gone through this pain...
Last October 2010, I ordered SE Xperia Mini Pro from a website. I was still exploring the features I found that one side of my ear phone does not work. I tried several other ear phones but still couldn't hear. So I opened a ticket. The agent confirmed that my handset is under warranty and SE will repair it.
Here is the history of the tickets I had to open with SE.

RMA# 92211280945
Date : 9/22/2011
Tracking# 1z1028170312323649
Waiting...
And I am still waiting for my phone.
I am at total lost. This handset comes with 1yr warranty and this whole year around I have been sending and receiving the phone from the repair centre. Now its close to its warranty expiration and I am not sure what to do. I wasted my money on SE. I have not thought of SE service being such pathetic.
Not sure who will answer me. Not sure if my phone will ever work. Not sure what the warranty will be on it. Not sure when SE will realize that their customers are suffering due to their bad phones and services.

Sony Ericsson no longer iSyncs after 10.4.7 update

Has any other SE 910a owner run into the same situation with 10.4.7 where it no longer iSyncs? I tried to find a new ISync Agent for the phone, but a search of the Apple site for iSync Agent turn up nothing-curious.
The Apple Store Tech support suspects it has something to do with the 10.4.7 upgrade and that I should report and post it in the Forum, so here I am...
Help!!!
Thank you

No, mine is syncing perfectly post 10.4.7 update. I had some difficulty with syncing it to .Mac but that seem to fix itself after BOTH my PowerMacG4 and my Powerbook G4 were both updated.
The only thing that I can suggest is that every now and then I find that the iSync agent on the P910 doesn't appear to be recognised. All I do then is to go to applications in the phone, choose the iSync agent, turn the iSync agent off, ie. tell it not to sync, then turn the iSync agent back on again (not the phone, just the agent). That has so far fixed the problem for me every single time.
Hope that works for you.

Z520i Sony Ericsson Won't ISync

I've got a successful pairing. Using the remote control features fine, transferring, receiving files via bluetooth. Even using Bluephone Elite.
But I can't seem to sync my Address Book and my iCal using iSync. It can't find the device. I use Devices>Add Device but it finds nothing. My Z520i gets some kind of signal but nothing happens, and in the Add Device dialogue box, no device was found.
I have an old Palm and my ipodvideo on my iSync, so I know it works with other devices.
I tried deleting and renewing the pairing, to no avail.
Yet the model of my phone is in Apple's list of supported devices, and I checked that it will iSync contacts and iCal (which is why i bought it).
Please, can someone help?

Hello and thanks for the attention.
1. yes iSync, it appeared, tried to connect to my phone. There was a very quick progress bar (less than a second) then it showed on the phone: "Session complete" and the phone played a chime. Meanwhile, iSync says "No device found" in the panel.
2.iSync does not display my phone in the "Add device" panel.
3. Here is what appears in System Prefs>Bluetooth>Devices in the pairing information:
Device Name: Z520i
Device Address: 00-12-ee-c8-8a-eb
Device Type: Phone
Device Services: , Dial-up Networking, Serial Port, HF Voice Gateway, HS Voice Gateway, OBEX Object Push, OBEX File Transfer, OBEX SyncML Client, OBEX IrMC Sync Server, Mouse & Keyboard
Paired: Yes
Favorite: Yes
Connected: No
You see how it says "No" in connected? That's the current state since I'm not doing anything with it.
Nothing on the console. Can't find anything in Home>Library>Phones
Thanks, hope that helps!
