Top 10 Sony Ericsson P1i Questions & Answers

I am upset over Sony Ericsson’s PC suite for SmartPhone. I’ve had Sony Ericsson’s P1i for a couple of months now and honestly the phone is great.
I have a 1GB memory stick on my P1i which has every almost every function those items have. In fact now I have a QWERTY pad along with me all the time.

Well everything was perfect until I decided to upgrade my software. So I did these following steps:
Installed Sony Ericsson PC Suite for Smartphone, which was included in the box.
Downloaded and installed the Sony Ericsson P1i Update Service software.
Used the Backup Manager that came along with SE PC Suite to backup every single content of my phone.
Ran Update Service following the steps provided in the software.
Lastly tried to Restore my backup onto my phone.
Guess what? It didn’t work!!! Ran a full backup and the PC Suite froze at like the 30th percent with a message “Mobile phone not responding….”. I selected all these to restore:
Contacts
Calendar
Notes
Unified Inbox
Settings
Multimedia
3rd Party Applications
Bull Poop!!! I tried to run it 3 times and still didn’t work. When did the phone stop responding? When the PC Suite rebooted the phone and P1i screen prints “Restore in progress”. Its a piece of **** I tell you.
I googled in hope that someone would shed light on me. That was when I discovered previous versions of Sony Ericsson SmartPhones had a similar problem too. In case you are wondering, the phone models I am talking about are SE’s P990i and M600i and their variations. I am so bloody disappointed. I can’t believe it could hang on me when I feel the phone had been great all the time.
Well now comes to the shitty part of trouble shooting. I can’t possibly let go of my backups. I’ve already lost all my Contacts and stuff 2 months ago. Can’t let this happen again. So I tried to restore one item at a time.
I went down the list of priorities as such:
Contacts - Success!
Calendar - Success!
Notes - Success!
Unified Inbox - Success!
Settings - Success!
Multimedia - Success!
3rd Party Applications - Success!
Wierd isn’t it? It works when you try to restore one item at a time but not when you select all. How can this be? Software problem!!! Developers at Sony should look into this. I didn’t have this problem with Nokia E65 when I helped my brother do an upgrade.
What’s the point of having a full restore function when it doesn’t work??? And if the problem had been surfaced by the users of the previous models, why isn’t the problem solved still? Can’t possibly blame Symbian for Sony Ericsson’s PC Suite, could we?…
so i gone to sony service they told me that there is a fault in circuit board and it has to be raplaced with a new one i had given in mulund service centre
till now 12 days had passed they not given me my p1i saying that the circuitboard is sent to chennai and there is not extar manufacturing of board due to this we cant give the phone now they are saying come within 3days i am fadeup with these sony service and p1i
i am requesting sony to look on this matter and tofind solution on it by upgrading there new upgrading version

go 4 dis link.......

Friends, this I got from allaboutsymbian website. And I already try the Test1 and it works!!!
Hope this could be much of help......

I had the exact same problem and have solved it by updating the firmware and reloading my settings from at saved bile, but it is rather time consuming.

The solution by deleting all the messages in the inbox worked perfectly fine
Though nothing haapend when i only deleted the outbox and sent.


I assume that the problem is caused by the message server (the small program handleing you enter to send and read messages)

I descuvered that when my phone was put into offline mode, and re-entering to normal mode , I could not open the message server.
After deleting all messages this problem has been resolved aswell.


Maybe the message server is having problem handleing to many messages.
The amount of space left on my phone was not a problem eather, arround 30 M and the insert card was empty.
but i had over 1300 messages in my inb ox when the problem started occuring.


If any ojne else is experiencing this problem, pleace keep on debugging and tributed with more result.
This will make it easyer to conclude on the results and finally determine why it is happening, based on when.

Test1 : (Is the issue resolved only when inbox being emptyed)
Here is what you do :
1. Delete all you messages - 1 in your inbox,
2. Restart the phone,
3. Send an sms to yourself.
4. Write a reply on this threat weather youi got the message or not.

if it is not resolved. please continue with 2. test

Test2 : (Is this allways resolved by emptying the indbox)
1. Delete ALL you messages in the inbox
2. Restart the phone,
3. Send an sms to yourself.
4. Write a reply on this threat weather youi got the message or not.


If the problem is stille not resolved then you have to reset the phone.

Test 3.
First of all, you must save all you phone settings, phonebook sms(despite you just deleted them all, save it anyways!) phone settings. etc.
and then reset it.

1. Save all files
2 Reset you phone by typing in *#7370#.
3. Restart the phone,
4. Send an sms to yourself.
5. Write a reply on this threat weather youi got the message or not.


If this works, then restore one of the save configurations at a time and test weather it still works.

first slide the flap to some side and then pull it from top.

Hello :

just click back up manager http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/9379/pcsuitewindows7.png and follow the steps .

good luck

1) Format the internal disk: Do this by accessing the service menu, press:

* jogup * jogdown jogdown * jogdown *

where jogup/down = 1 click on the jogdial.

2) Reflash the firmware with SEUS, if you have done this before and still have software problems, delete the contents of SEUS's 'db' folder first as this will force it to download a new copy of the firmware from SE's servers.

just try this.. enter service menu by pressing jog dial up, *, jog dial down, jog dial down, *, jog dial down, *.
jog dial is rounded things at the right side of the p1, slide it up or down, follow the instruction.
then enter the menu hardware test, lcd test, write something in ur touch pad, if the letter u wrote visible it mean ur lcd fine.. so , just close the menu and its magic.... its worked.
