As I understand it when you have a memory card in the phone and using file trans mode, then like a USB dongle a drive will appear in My Computer, however when you use the PC Suite you will need to use it in Phone Mode. Then click File Manager, a new window will appear which will enable you to browse the phones internal memory folder(s).

eermm sorry to be a pain but why does the phone become not connected when I switch to file transfer mode? How can I transfer music and such to my phone if this happens.


The phone goes unconnected because I am guessing you have no memory card and it is looking for one, times out and cannot handle the error as there is no error catching/recovery programmed into the phone. Another great SE product with bugs (erm I mean FEATURES).

Hello,

My SE K610i was difficulty being detected by the PC Suite. I would run the "Connection Wizard" and it would attempt to search for my connected phone without success.

I have installed the 6-7 drivers and I can use the File Transefer mode.

Does anyone have any tips in overcoming this problem?

Thankyou.

Hey Everyone,

I fixed it!

Apparently the software provided with the phone was buggy (well for me anyway) so I went to the SE site and got the latest PC Suite (PC Suite 1.20.237).

And it works! Hooray!

pc suite sux. I've never liked it. I use MyPhoneExplorer for phone management, and usb mass storage for file transfer. I'm not sure if MyPhoneExplorer supports K800, if it doesn'yt it shouldn't be far away.

The software is useless. The way I eventually managed to get my K800i connected was to go to the Device Manager, view devices by connection, find the USB port I had connected the phone to, open up the properties on the 'Unknown Device' and manually choose 'USB Mass Storage Device' - as soon as I did this, the phone was recognised as a removable drive and I could access the files on it.

Compared to connecting my PSP to my PC, the phone is extremely complicated and I am disappointed that it took so long to get to my photos.
