OK two things people,
Firstly
@mwarner
You're totally right, the K800 was made bullet-proof unlike the K750, luckily as far as the firmware is concerned its only minor niggles nothing major thank god!
Secondly, I have put an applications shortcut in my activitites menu thing (the small button on the right), however, once I push it, the menu disappears, and it takes a few seconds for the applications menu to appear, and thelist of applications isn't much? I presume its just firmware?
Cheers

ive got another niggle (rather a complaint i must say) that the sound of the media player is far too quiet. It's been noted by another user in another thread, so i dont think it's just me. My W800 (although a walkman handset), and without the megabass switched on, sounded much better and i believe this sound was equal in the K750. Also there were firmware updates to increase the volume levels on the K750/W800 so hopefully there will be something similar done for the K800 in the future. (nb im also using the HPM-70 when listening to music, not the headset included in the K800 box)
So maybe some peeps here could clarify this, and get this niggle added to the list on the first page?
thanks

Uninstall SE PC Suite and the drivers then insert the disk that came with the phone and install the drivers and software.
There is a newer version of PC suite on the SE website.
I had these problems with my PC which was resolved as above. Interestingly my laptop managed to transfer from the K750 to K800 fine.

Hi guys,
I have had a number of sound related problems over the last few days with my phone. They all seem to be linked and happen at the same time. The list of problems is as follows:
The ringtone doesnt sound no matter what profile you are in. I have checked all the profiles and sound is enabled when it should be.
The media player fails to play a song in speaker mode stating "Playback of media failed".
The phone will not switch to speaker mode when in a call.
I have also had this problem once (At the same time as experiencing all of the above):
There is no sound in the earphone when in a call (No it wasnt transfered to my bluetooth headset although the headset does still work).
As a test i have tried going into the "Services Tests" menu and testing the Speaker and Earphone but neither test would open so i was unable to perform the tests.
All of these issues were resolved by switching the phone off and back on but as you can appreciate not having the ringtone play when you get a call can be really annoying.
Anyone else experienced anything similar?
RA.

I have an issue in that I have never once managed to get my 1gb M2 card to show up on the PC.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling PC suite (currently uninstalled, cos it sucks and didn't fix the problem) and it's still the same.
Some of the times I've tried it I don't even get the phone's internal memory to show up, but no matter what I try, I can't get the memory stick to show in "My Computer".
I think the problem might be that when I first plugged the phone in, I just whizzed through the driver installation, letting it "install the hardware automatically", so now it's still using some of the drivers that XP will have downloaded automatically.
I've tried uninstalling all of the devices marked "Sony Ericsson" through device manager, but that doesn't help. At the moment, the only way to transfer files to the memory stick is to send them to the phone memory and then move them to the memory stick using the phone, which isn't very practical.
Anyone got any ideas?

Hi Guys
Im New here but i got an Orange Branded K800i. I have seen that there have been no orange users posting so i thought i would give you some information.
Firmware Version: R1CB001
CDA: CDA102511/47
Quick Review: So far so good. Not had any problems that other users have had with the RSS or anything. There are a few things, however, that orange have removed in their customisation. Firstly, like vodafone, they have removed the update service. Secondly, they have removed the photo blogging function. I havent heard any comments on this so far so i don't know what it performs like. I was contemplating debranding it but i havent got any major issues with the orange branding at present.

unfortunately, it doesn't entirely work here. I've installed the latest version of opera mini on my SE k800i, however, i've come across a strange problem. If you google for a site from the homepage when you start opera mini you can't select yes or no for the application to access the internet, you get asked the question but the yes/no options aren't there so you have to go to a bookmarked page first as the yes/no option shows up fine for that.
Any suggestions?

I also encountered this bug. There's an easy workaround, though: after entering and confirming a google search, just press the activity menu key and choose to resume Opera Mini. The Yes/No options will magically appear on the softkey labels, and you can give Opera permission to access the internet.
