My Sony Ericsson W890i, I cant set the alarm with a vibrate tone?

software fault, read here so you know what will cure it http://forums.se-nse.net/topic/39748-tutorial-flashing-a2-phones-with-a2uploader/

Hi,

Do a Master Reset on the phone which may help. To do this make sure anything stored onto your phone is stored to the SIM or Memory Card; i.e. phone contacts./messages/pictures. Go to Settings and under General scroll down to ‘Master Reset’ then reset all. It should switch itself off and reboot within a few minutes. Give it couple of days before you start using it.


P.S: This is problem shared by many w890i so if ur phone is in warranty, it would be a good idea to call them up.

try reformatting your phone or restoring factory setting

Software issues are a problem with most mobiles as they get ever more complicated and bloated. My 890 gives me a few hiccups from time to time. Have you ever used the sony update service before? you may just need a firmware update

it seems to be quite a common problem for all W890 owners. Mine has the same problem...........frustrating. Sony Ericsson should provide a recall or free repair through its Agents.

have you got them set to silent in the profile menu but have a tone selected for them maybe thats your confusion

check your profile setting, make sure you have those on sound mode not vibrate mode.

make sure you have the phone set to ring, it could be on silent or vibrate mode, there is also a profile that will not allow you to set ring tone, it'll always be silent, so try a different profile

I cant hear it ringing while incoming call from any caller it just vibrate only.Any Idea how to solve this problem.my phone has the latest update from SEUS.

The front speaker needs replacing. Songs/MP3's are played through the back speakers, thats why you can hear them when you play them individually.

Ive been quoted around £50 from an online mobile phone repair centre to replace it.

Needless to say, Ive sent my phone back for a refund, and i wont be buying this phone again.
