you may have to reinstall the O.S of the Phone.
They call it upgrading the Firmware and that will fix the issue!
And don't delete any files which are hidden under the folder " System"
That causes this issue!
Hope this helps!
I had to reinstall the firmware as I had this issue after altering some files in the phone and I couldn't use any applications and games apart from walkman and the Internet browser!
So thats how it is!

Hey,
I have found a solution to this problem without sending your phone back and/or paying to get it fixed. Now you can do this on you own personal computer and only takes around 5-10 mins depending on your internet and computer speeds. Ok below are some simple instructions to follow. Please give me a 'Fix ya!' if i helped :)

Instructions:

1. Go to either http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/updateservice/w580i - to view some information on updating your phone or go to http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1231338335/Update_Service_Setup-2.9.1.10.exe - to download the application straight away.

2. Once you have downloaded and installed the program, open it, the program may download program updates and such - this is normal.

3. Once everything is open it will ask you for your language, so in my case, English (United Kingdom) and just follow the on screen instructions, everything basically self explaniary.

Note: This will wipe everything off the PHONES memory, take your memory card out to make sure you dont lose anything off that. If you think this is going to be a waste of time then you're wrong as this fixed my camera problem..

Also note: It will say your phone has the latest software installed, just click continue anyway as this will wipe your phone and install everything again, FIXED! :)

Hope I helped.

Hi there, for all of you here is the solution.
You can download the software for free here.
The agent is sending you to http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/pcsuite/w580i?cc=us&lc=en.
RUN this and follow the istructions, then connect your phone once the SW is loaded in your PC. Then you can drag and drop the the folder called Camera Album to your PC. Thats it....

Touch Screen 'Back' button on my K850i affected by every other button.

When navigating my way through the phone be it the menu or txt messaging the 'Back' Button ( right hand side touch screen button) keeps selecting itself when i push other buttons.

eg: wrighting a txt and i will be typing a word and on selecting a button say 'abc' ro 'jkl' it seems to trigger the back button which navigates me away from my txt and prevents me from continuing.

Any ideas?

I have the same problem with the sms thing, what i did is master reset and choose reset all (prepare back up first). Just wait few minutes and for me it worked. But do me a favor, just email sonny ericsson and tell about this problem so they will start doing something about it.
