Sony Ericsson W810i/300i

I read some of the threads from last year about the Sony Ericsson W810i. I'd like to wait for the iPhone, but I need a new phone now. Are people having good luck syncing this phone? Also, unrelated to syncing, is the call quality & reception as good as the reviews I've been reading say it is? Any input of any kind about this phone would be greatly appreciated. I was also considering the Sony Ericsson 300i, but reviews say the camera is terrible. I don't really care about a camera because I have a very nice Canon digital, but if the phone must have a camera, I want it to take usable photos.

I've just this week got a W810i (since the iPhone won't be here until at least Q4). The Syncing with iSync works just fine and I'm very happy with the device as a phone. I've just taken a photo as I sit here as an example (having transferred it via BT) - not great; I shall be carrying my 7.2Mpx Casio when I need to take photos!

I can't get the send SMS via AddressBook feature to work yet though (it does on my older Ericsson T68 so I'm not sure what's wrong). I got mine for free on a £18pm for 12mth contract with 512Mb MSDuo included.
The bundled headphones are excellent and it plays .aac files (not the DRM ones); the FM radio works really well; it's small, light and feels a lot more robust than the T-Mobile MDAC it is replacing. I dislike the font used in the interface, but the images are very iLife-esque. Most of the custom 'Themes' on the web are unusable (this is probably because I'm used to beautiful cared-for UIs in OS X). You can transfer any files to the MSDuo card or the phone memory using Apple's BT File Exchange. If you connect it with the bundled USB cable it'll charge the phone and mount both the phone memory and the MSDuo card direct to the desktop.

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.

Unusual error syncing Sony Ericsson W810i :0

Hi all,
I am trying to sync my mac (Powerbook G4) with a Sony Ericsson w810i. My iSync version is up to date. In the iSync menu where you can select to sync contacts and calendar, I am not able to select iCal. Whenever I select to sync iCal events, i immediatedly get a popup saying "You should select an application that can be syncronized using Mac OS X. Would you like to open iCal now ??" whether I open or not the iCal sync option is automatically unselected - and hence i do not get the events to my phone.
Any responses will be appreciated.

Sony Ericsson W810i

Hi
Are there any plans to include the new Sony Ericsson, the W810i, in the isync phones list?
I've just bought one and am very happy with it. It comes with a USB cable which when plugged in, charges the phone, pops up iphoto and let's you import photos directly, like any other camera and let's you drag mp3s on to it like any non apple mp3 player. You can drag mp3s directly from itunes but it limits the number of songs you can copy across in one go to about 20. This is easy to get around by either dragging from the folders directly or by dragging your songs from itunes to a temp folder and then into the phone memory card (512mb card, upgradeable and 22 mb on board), you may want to do this if copying the party shuffle or a playlist.
Anyway, back to isync, if it's going to be included soon that would be great, rounding off a great inter manufacturer combo...

The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update will ship soon, bringing incremental improvements to iSync, and will likely include support for additional mobile handsets, including—possibly—the SONY Ericsson W810i. That's about as much as I can say about unreleased, unannounced software.
If you are interested in an immediate solution, or future updates don't include support for your mobile handset, you can take a look at this low cost alternative from Nova Media:

Sony ericsson W810i connection problem with macbook

I have a Sony Ericsson W810i, and I want to transfer some photo's from the phone to my macbook. I can get the bluetooth to link with the phone for tranfer, but I'm having problems when I try to use the USB cable. When I connect the USB cable, the phone recognizes the connection, and warns not to disconnect from the cable untill...etc. however, I never get an Icon on the computer recognizing the phone. in short, The mac never sees the phone. any ideas???

I don't believe Macs are cell phone compatible without some 3rd party hack or application. You might do a Google search for your phone model and Mac.

My Pearl 9105 cannot receive contacts via bluetooth from my Sony Ericsson w810i

Hi everybody! I just bought a Pearl 3G 9105 and I love it! But I cannot transfer my contacts from my old phone! I read all type of guide but cannot solve the problem! I got version 5.0.0.884! Instead I can send my Pearl's contact to my old phone! That's strange, isn't it? I really followed every single step on the guide!
Waiting for an answer! Thank you so much!

Hi michelefnc
This feature is not available. You may want to consult your wireless provider as they may have a method to move your contacts over.
Thanks

What about Sony Ericsson Walkman phones?

I've found three Mac OS X-native methods for using a Sony Ericsson phone with iTunes. Can anyone comment on their experiences with these?
1) SyncTunes:
http://www.nesfield.co.uk/synctunes/
2) iTuneMyWalkman (a beta-level iTunes script):
http://ilari.scheinin.fidisk.fi/itunemywalkman/
3) Dreamsicle, an iLife-like shareware app that integrates these phones with iTunes, iPhoto, and video clips:
http://www.kaisakura.com/dreamsicle.html
Before I hear comments along the lines of "give up and buy a Motorola iTunes phone," let me state the following, which are my experience-derived OPINIONS:
· I dislike the fact that everyone and their mother has a RAZR (or SLVR, to a bit lesser extent).
· I greatly dislike Motorola phones for their mentally-challenged interfaces, dumbed-down Bluetooth implementation, and weak iSync/Address Book integration.
· I more greatly dislike having artificial limits placed on the number (25-100 depending on market and irrespective of memory capacity) and bitrate (128 kbps? why?!?) of the songs I put on my phone.

I would like to exhange my new SLVR for a Sony Ericsson W810i for some of the same reasons you stated: clumbsy UI, weak iSync integration, and song limit.
As long as you can mount the Sony Ericsson's Micro SD memory card on your Mac OS X Desktop via USB, you should be able to use any of the three iTunes options you mentioned, for transfering and listening to non-DRM iTunes files.
I'm hearing conflicting reports. Can anyone please confirm that the Micro SD card mounts via USB and is writable in OS X??
Thanks.

Sony Ericsson W801i question.

Hello, not quite sure if I'm placing this in the correct disscussion or not, so I'll place it in iTunes here aswell.
I recently purchased a Sony Ericsson W801i phone, and am wondering if theres a way that I can place music from a Mac on there? I've used iSync to place my contacts on there but yeah. Any help would be greatly appreciated !

Presumably you mean a Sony Ericsson W810i?
There are two ways to get music onto the phone.
1) Send the music files via Bluetooth using the Bluetooth File Exchange app.
2) Copy the files over in the Finder after connecting the phone with a USB cable in "File Transfer" mode.
Note protected tracks purchased from the iTunes Store will not play on the phone, but MP3s and AAC files you've 'ripped' yourself will.

Address book, bluetooth, and the sony ericsson w810

hello. i have a sony ericsson w810. i was able to pair it with my macbook and i can sync the Address Book and iCal between the two. however, when someone calls me, or when i receive a text, i expected that the macbook will display the name of the caller (if the caller's in the Address Book), or at least display the number. however, when someone calls, "Unknown Caller" is displayed, which i think proves that the phone and the macbook are paired.
also, i can't send a text message and can't dial from the macbook.
when i put my pointer on the bluetooth icon on the Address Book, i get a message that goes "Connected <w810>"
if anyone could help me on this one. thanks.

I am having the same problem with my w810i and MacBook Pro. I've poked around the forums and there doesn't seem to be anyone who knows what's going on.

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 ??

Remote update service on sony ericsson G502 does not work

I have a Sony Ericsson G502. The phone has a problem which causes it to restart when I am on a call. Sometimes it just restarts on its own. I searched on the net and found that other people have also seen the same issue and I believe a software upgrade will fix the problem.
I dont have the usb cable of the phone so I cannot do the upgrade using the 'Update Service' software from the pc. I tried doing a 'remote update service' from the phone in Menu-->Update Service-->Search for Update, but it just says that your phone is running the latest software. The current software version on my phone is 1203-8254 R1FA031 080512. Is this the latest software available? I have bought the phone 2 years back (but used it sparingly), and I am not convinced that there is no update to this software.
Please suggest a way I can upgrade this phone? I like the phone, but this restart problem makes the phone very unreliable for everyday use. Kindly help.

Your best bet is to get a USB cable and update the software with SEUS on your PC.If, as the remote update service tells you, you already have the latest software, you can only re-install the software via PC anyway.Alternatively, you can perform a master reset on the phone and see if that fixes the problem.Hope this helps.

To SONY management not Sony ericsson Management, please don't do the same mistakes.

Please Don’t Make Same Sony-Ericsson Mistakes
by USER-986393 » Thu Oct 27, 2011 3:40 pm
Congratulations on your Erricsson's share acquire, I must say i have been Sony phone holder from the day SONY CDM-Z1 was created, forced my self to stick with SE... and now happy to come back to SONY again. I would like to talk about couple of things...
Response:
The major fall of SE is the fact that they did not listen to fans and most importantly customers. we complained so much over Xperia X1 and Xperia X10 until SE forced us to purchase other brands due to lack of response. so please, responding to complaints is critical when there are so many better phone makers out there.
Lack of future vision:
Look at the Galaxy S, Galaxy Sii, Iphone... you know what they have in common? light years technology for the same price as Caved in SE phones. Arc vs Sii?... SE was against technology for some reason, for instance. who ever was against dual processor and how much it would attract customers, needs to find another company to put down. Lack of LTE?, how can someone not find that as something a cell phone can use in the future? Market share in USA? why would someone not give the US attention, no one buys a full priced phone these days, that only worked when there was no contracts. these days i don't mind a contract as long as i am getting a phone a i can not afford. also i never understood this frequency difference, why did SE wait until iPhone 4s marketed the idea a "world phone" that works anywhere? why did SE insist on making an American version and an international version? example ARC LT15A and ARC LT15i is it SO HARD to make a phone that has all the frequencies LT15Ai? really? who ever was against that idea needs to go as well.
I will assume who ever is reading the example i mentioned above is grasping the importance of it... it's as simple as this SE would have been more successful had more people bought SE phones, i am interested in the ARC LT18A, well there is only LT18I that wont work 3g on At&t. here are the problems that you will face... 1 - a happy innocent customer that did not know that, purchased a LT18I (international) and realized SE customers service in Canada or USA that it won't work in the U.S. on 3g... 2 - a frustrated customer like me who knew about the difference from previous mistakes and decided to buy an iphone instead just bc of the being neglected or carelessness from SE towards people in the U.S. either way, wither those two two points were shocking to you as a SE manager, or a common fact that is not important enough... that manager needs to go. with a tahnk you note for loosing market share in the U.S. deserves an excelence in that actually.
Wrong Focus, right focus was a little too late:
SE phones especially in 2011 was way behind any other company in smart phones, yes the ARC S was maybe a nice attempt but simply not enough... the world is advancing really fast, if you dont catch the train, then your about to bankrupt. it took forever to jump on really powerful phones and instead there so many variations. you can get a cyber-shot but not a Walkman.. you can get a walkman phone but not as smart as the p900 you can get the p900 but not as slim as the p600. SE was competing with its own self ... lets FOCUS, get your stuff together and make a Quality phone not Quantity phone. (GOOD JOB ON THE TABLET) the variations are based on needs not confusing differences. The ARC was a great phone, but SE had missed the train.
THE UPDATES:
The most frustrating customer service i have ever experienced, and when updates come out, they come out first in Nordic places then in middle east country by country... giving every day more fuel to angry customers wondering when they will be lucky to get an update ... why can't there be one global update for all phones and different updates to phone carriers for each country. make it easier, it does not take a company purchase to do so.
Announcements:
it was frustrating, just like it is right now, i still don't know when ARC S comes out. oh wait i am in the U.S. it comes out "WHENEVER" does it look like i am happy? i need a new phone, how SE expect me to purchase an ARC S when i don't know how long i am waiting for it and there is GALAXY and Iphones released in the markets hovering around me every day?
USA, USA, CHINA, USA:
Why was the U.S. not a focus, please someone answer!
Creativity:
androids are awesome operating systems, they are simply great and simply work every single time you use them. i believe, i gave SE so many ideas, non of them were integrated. to be able to distinguish your self from the rest of the pack; you need to be the alpha. simply having the most powerful phone is one factor, Xmore R is another, crazy led designs. look at the Tablet S, it's not the thinnest, it's not the cheapest, it's not the most powerful, yet it's unique in design. and for the market with the dull flat tablets, who ever designed it should design your new phones. the ARC design was AMAZING but lacked the items that are enough to give it a competitive edge in the market.
Charging:
Why is it only micro USB is the main charger, Why can't it be that and another EASY WAY OF CHARGING, why do we have to wait tell apple go to conductive charging? SONY come up with two ways of charging, micro usb is great cause every one has either a BB or an android somewhere. but imagine just placing your phone on something without me connecting... I AM BUYING.
Pricing:
SE charges an arm and a leg, when Galaxy Sii and iphone 4s are $200.00... do you not thing there is something wrong here?
Accessories:
I have suggested times and times, make more accessories, lets compare phones covers for the Iphone and the Any SE phones... the amusing aspect is, why did not SE see what I see?
Cool names PLEASE:
the ARC is a way to start after 10 years of naming products like fax machines... I need to see Jima, president, awesome... less chemical equations of fax machine names. LT18a, imagine I tell my friends have you seen the LT18a or have you seen the Sony ARC?
FM:
Really? your research says in 2011 people won't buy a phone without FM? and the customers would also do the twist dance from the joy of knowing the phone has FM. it's 2011, perhaps you need to look in your research again.
SonyEricsson does not see the need for a dual processor for an android that won't support it yet:
that right there shows the difference between a company with a long vision and another with a short one. my answer to that statement, please set down get some popcorn as you are just about to watch S ii and iphone 4S a chance to be light years ahead of you, and sell millions of more phones than you. just because someone that works at SE has a very short vision ruining a whole company. president of Syria bashar alasad, believes that his country is under control. the achievements of democratic countries did not impress him and the fall of Lebian, Egyptian, and Algerian presidents did not get him to even think twice about what is happening. it amazes me how people can be so selfish and short visioned.
Waterproof:
Great idea, where is the phone, i am in the U.S. while you are at it, let me suggest accessories. a helmet accessory that would station that phone on my helmet while i am racing... right there i can buy a phone that is weather proof records 720 p and when i am done from my athletic even i can use it as a phone. knowing SE, don't even think about that idea, and i will get an email saying we only have a shoulder accessory for now thank you for inquiring.
Closing fan websites?
xperiablog.net, um........ ?
now there are people at SE that need to be promoted,
Updates had gotten faster and better, but they still need more work
unlocking the boot loader is a great i dea
designs started becoming extra beautiful
SE website is beautiful
facebook page is great
xmor r, phone screen size EXCELENT
forum support is getting better
there many many things I can bring to the table, question is, SONY are you going to do the same Mistakes? or am i going to changes? perhaps you need to hire me, so I can get something done. how open are you to changes? how open are you to listen to your customers and fans? how open are you to realize the completion and take actions to be ahead of the curve? how open are you to realize that the Video games on cell phones are only fun the first 5 minutes but after that iphone 4s is better?
LTE, Gorilla Glass, conductive charging, Unique design, unified phone, focus on 1 - 3 phones for the whole year, interactive customer service, New logo, Battery performance, UNIQUE DESIGN, top notch camera, waterproof, why dual when you can go Quad... go in to the market with a bang and bigger bang with it's prices. Start cranking AT&T and Tmobile, Verizon and Sprint from now in the U.S. chop chop you have work to do...
I wish you the best of luck SONY and hope to see interesting phones coming from your end.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

lov2bugu, you said things the exact way I wanted to express them! It was like watching me talking to a SONY’s CEO.
I don’t really think they are not aware of the problems. SONY used to be the 27th largest company in the world, according to Forbes. They are now at the 456th place!!
They are aware of their problems and I think, the move to buy the remaining stocks from Ericsson, is a move to bounce back into the market. They found the right time, where the stock is too low and the economics around the globe don’t look promising enough. I have to recognize them, all the bad phases they went into this year … hacking attack, loss of their factory in London, global economic climate etc.
But these are not excuses good enough not to produce quality, reliable and technologically advanced goods. I think that SONY is not to blame for the bad course SE has had. I think this is what SONY wants to revert. They want to “embody” all their technology … BRAVIA engines (TV Tech), Walkman and Cybershot tech (using Carl Zeiss lenses), VAIO (Comp tech) and finally PS3. Ericsson tried to integrate them, unsuccessfully.
Overall, I thing SONY, did not have or did not attempt to have the control of SE, hence, the answer you got back from SONY “… anything related to SE must be posted on the website of SE”. I think they will bounce. Just give ‘em some time. I’m willing to give them time, but not too much though. Just because I’ve always loved this brand!

Help! My Sony Ericsson T715A can no longer connect to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode...

Sony Ericsson T715A: I can no longer connect in to my PC (Windows 7) in phone mode; so I can no longer sync contax, calendar, tasks etc. with MS Office Outlook. Also cannot back up phone, or
update software. Can only drag files out into Explorer folders. When I connect the phone, it has to be on. Instead of going right to phone/PC mode, I get a message on it saying "Phone functions are
not available in File Manager mode. Continue?" I say yes, whereupon the phone seems to restart, & then the Microsoft Autoplay folder comes up, or else I can find it in "devices and printers." R-
click the icon, "properties" Identifies it only as a generic Microsoft device. I tried running the computer troubleshooter on it, which came up w/nothing.
    After some period of time I will notice that the phone either rings and I can answer it, or it has stopped recharging, and the icon has disappeared from the PC.
    I had the 2007 version of PC Suite and PC Companion, and when I tried to install it on my 2010 PC w/ Windows 7 it said not compatible. I downloaded an update for that software from the SE site, but it didn't help. Then I ran the compatibility wizard in Windows 7 for PC Suite. Still no luck. I got a tip from an SE forum to uninstall all that software and download a certain package and start fresh. I am about to try that.
    Here is my question:
ALL T HIS TIME I have still been using the OLD SIM card from my SE ZZ710i in the newer phone. I figured it works; why not preserve the newer one from wear & tear as long as poss.
Now, it has been a while since I synched or backed up my phone. I hate to lose everything on it/the SIM card. If I install a whole new version of SE PC Suite, is it going to somehow overwrite or not work at all with my
old SIM card? Must I insert the NEW SIM 1st, & sacrifice whatever data is on the old one, before trying the new desktop software and updateing the phone?
As for updating the phone, which I realize wipes out data, it might be necessary.. I noticed in some Event log or other that some SE-related working file called EMMA was deleted recently, I don't know why. Anyone know anything about that?
Phew. The End. Here's hoping.

Thanx for answering my Q of a month ago. As you can see from my post of 18 minutes ago, things have gone from bad to worse under my neglectful eye.
To answer your answer:
a. I WAS using a NEW USB cord when I posed the question.
b. I've now downloaded the update service. I can try updating the phone from its File manager state. I'm just afraid whatever data is on it will get wiped, no?
Point of order:
If I've had an answer - or more than 1- to my question, but I still need to discuss it- should I Check the "Yes my question has been answered" box? I did not, here, because I thought it might result in my further questions dropping off the radar for forum experts. Please advise... \\Butter F

DST iCal bug (at least for Sony Ericsson mobiles)

The recent Daylight Savings changes caused a baffling bug to show itself. I keep my phone's calendar (Sony Ericsson K610i) synchronised with my iCal calendar. This includes my timetable for the academic term, with about 13 weekly recurring events.
As the term starts in September, they straddle the change in daylight savings, so when the change occurred, all these recurring events appeared an hour earlier on my phone than in iCal.
I thought this was a time zone issue, but no amount of fiddling with time zone and DST settings on the phone resolved this. Eventually, I realised they were recurring, and moved the first occurrence of each event after the DST change in iCal, selecting "Update All Future Events", then moved them back. Suddenly on synching, they're correct (though only after the DST change — a well-known limitation).
This meets the definition of a bug in my mind, and should be resolved automatically by iCal/iSync. I hope that Apple will do something about this, as I couldn't find any explanation of this at all.

This has always been the case, for all Sony Ericsson phones, and neither Apple nor Sony Ericsson seem willing to fix it through years of different handsets and updated versions of iSync.
Basically, all you have to do when the clocks change, is change the Daylight Savings setting in the phone accordingly, and re-sync.
Everything will then be fine right up until any events after the next clocks change - so you're good for 6 months anyway!
I've also fiddled with all the internal options within the iSync (not accessible through the interface), and nothing works satisfactorily there either. It's possible to disable time zone support completely, but then you have to just change the time on the phone, instead of the Daylight Savings setting, so it's no easier than just re-syncing.

How to get record control in sony ericsson p1i....
does jsr234 helps??

I'm not sure it is possible to get the PL/SQL record type through JDBC. Please try to access this procedure through JDBC to see if it is possible.
You may need to convert the record type, to an object-type, i.e. wrap the procedure in another procedure that converts the record type. You could also just wrap the procedure in another that expands the record values into individual output parameters.
