Mobile phone problems, please help - Page 2

I've had it nearly 2 years now. I'm gutted because there were a few pics on there that weren't on the memory stick. I didn't put them on the memory stick because I had a problem connecting the phone to the lappy and it deleted some of my stuff off my memory stick. The pics were of Toby when he had just been born, first time it was just the 2 of us in the hopsital

But thankfully I uploaded all my pics from the memory stick last week so I've got all of them, but the memorystick should be fine.

I need to ring orange today and find out how many upgrade points I have because I found out lastnight that every time I top up I earn points towards a phone upgrade. Hopefully I'll be able to get the new phone cheaper and I'm hoping to actually have a present to unwrap at Christmas! My hoover died the other week, so my parents have bought me a new one as an early present!

What happens when you connec the phone to your computer and put it in USB Only mode or whatever it's called?

I'd be tempted to backup (if you can) and re-flash the firmware. I did this when I had an issue with my W800i and K800

K750i - awesome, rock solid operation up until the stick died
K800i - awesome, rock solid operation up until the stick died
K850i - horrific heap of crap that I wish I had never owned, would routinely corrupt itself
C902 - average, had been mostly fine right up until deleting my inbox, photos and half my contacts

IMO the K800i was the last good phone SE made.

£10 of top up gets you £1 in your upgrade fund. Mine is sat at £8 currently.

My K800i did exactly that - I got two replaced on the warranty.

To my disgust they would only replace like for like which was rubbish. They wouldn't even downgrade me to a K750i.

I was told I would have to flash the phone, which means you lose everything.

Going back one further the k700 had exactly the same hardware stick fault (how does stay over THREE models!?!). Girlfriends current W900 has known problems that SE admit and might get round to fixing in December!? Satio is know to be crap. Honestly i'm not trying to bash them thats why i didnt go into detail before, but SE do have a reputation for handing out ****. In some cases they release firmware and fix their problems but why weren't these tested and/or made properly to begin with? Beggars belief really... Its not just SE, nokia have done the same thing but the difference is its on occasion, its not 3,4,5 models in succession...

My K800i was fine until it developed a similar flaw to yours - though after multiple taking sim out/refitting and rebooting sessions it did eventually boot up and work fine.

No issues yet with my C902 except it sometimes seems to "forget" the pictures taken on it, and then they randomly reappear a few weeks later.

It's the only SE phone I've had for 2 years, and no-one else I know has had a newer SE since.

But the K800i is a really good phone, when it works properly. I was obviously very lucky going by other experiences of the phone in this thread.

I dropped mine in the bath 3 times last year, and after 24 hours drying time each time, it worked perfectly. How long have they been running the £10 top up for £1 towards a phone? I topped up by about £100 over the summer, and always top up at least £10 a month and have done for the 2 years I've had it.

Tbh, I don't know how to flash it, and I threw the offending cable away a long time ago. I'm going to ask a friend tomorrow if her other half can have a look a it.

Lopez, I've taken it apart and put it back together about 50 times and it's just not doing any good

Leperousdust, I can totally see what you are saying. I've been lucky that in the past 10 years I've only had one naff phone and that one was a samsung.

divine · 25-11-2009, 19:35

About 8 months I think, I top up £10 a month.
