@reveragew assuming nothing's wrong with your cable (is it an original ericsson?), are you using a desktop computer with an internal modem and a serial mouse? ideally the com port you're going to use for that cable shouldn't share with any other hardware and tsr program. i think the simplest software to use in checking if your computer is communicating properly with your fone is Float's mobile agent. This program doesn't require ericsson's mobile phone settings to be installed. You can configure and assign what com port to use for your cable.
I agree with decoy7 that the software & cable is very tempremental for lots of people, you just have to persist with it to get it working. Computer hardware also contributes to some installation problems

yup! im using Float Mobile Agent to check if my Bluetooth and cable are working.
i had hard time using cable before, the only software that works was Float mobile agent and modem (i was using win ME then); now, w/ Win 98, all sony-ericsson's sw are working.

I live in canada, it is almost impossible to find an original data cable in here since there ain't too many ericsson/sony ericsson phones in here. I bought an after market cable, I guess its the cable's problem then.
To address the problem more clearly is that everytime the computer tries to connect to the phone, the "ericsson optimized charging" thing go on, but the computer can't find the phone.

It is.
If I can get this working I might just tuck the charger back into the box

The only thing I can find on the SE site is the
Image Editor.
Anyone know of a good phonebook/calendar editor that works with a cable?

I have the exact same problem with my DCU-10 USB cable. Everything works just fine - I've activated the co-port in the "Mobile Monitor" and it just seems like it can't find my phone. Can someone who have gotten this to work please state exactly what they did and what happened when they installed it. I feel like I've tried evertyhing.

Read this and help and give your two cents , thx.
Should the phone get charged without putting in the battery charge in the usb cable? I know the usb cable is receiving an electical charge from the port, but should that charge be able to 'charge' the phone?
I'm running win XP, which found and installed the cable without any problems. If the cable doesn't charge my phone without the regular charger plugged in, shouldn't I assume that it's broken?
(WOW - I don't think I've written 'charge' that many times... EVER)..

Dudes, This is an easy one.....
Ur usb cable will charge ur phone, this is because USB isnt just designed to be an i/o port, (like say your serial port) It has a 5v (dont quote that) power output so that you can use devices straight from ur USB port. The USB cable simply utilises this power to charge ur phone, The actual data cable never carries power, ur phone and computer use their power to send the signals between phone and port etc, Think of those LED mice that are USB, they get power from the port. Overload ur computers use ports and u will get an Error along the lines of Error" Not enough Power to run device ************* ".
Hope that helps.
