I dont think you can change the display light because you can go through menus while on a call.

But, you can try fiddling about with the display settings by -

Setting > Display > Light

      To Elizabeth,

      You cant personalise the message tone, but if you want to change the tone to one of the default ones -

      Settings > Sounds and alerts > Message Tones.

          I connect my k300i phone with a DCU-11 data cable. It worked fine with my earlier PC(810e Motherboard, 1.1 USB). Since, I got a new PC(Intel D101GGC Mobo,2.0 USB), it has worked only once, that too after a lot tinkering around. But, it just fails to work. The yellow checkmark just goes on blinking and doesnt turn green. Can anyone say what the problem is?

                Excellent phone! Been using it for over 6 months now and haven't regretted buying it so far! As far as data transfer is concerned, I had some trouble with 3rd infra-red devices but finally found a SonyEricsson USB data cable (DCU-11 or KQ-U8A) for my PC. have been transferring games, pics, vids, music etc ever since without trouble. i will admit the cable is much slower than IR or bluetooth and i will definitely recomment using IR with laptops

                    Hi Colnagoguy.

                    Can you expalin in both technical terms and normal person's terms, slow and easy, how can I instal the driver for the DCU-11 data cable on my pc? I've tried to install it, but it detects my K300 as a modem unit. Tell me, if I have the original cable and cd, what am I missing, and how to correctly install the software?

                    Thanks, in advance. Happy New Year

                        Ideal for students, Teachers and newer professionals who don’t want to spent large amounts on heavier mobiles with approximately same functionalities. Sony Ericsson never compromises with cheap equipments that why it has used STN screen in order to give Tri Band, Infrared, Handy cam, 12 MB memory, Video player (3gpp), MP3 , games etc. in a nutshell. Otherwise K700i is a best option for those who can spend more as its price has finally come down and it has a good amount of memory (42MB) so that you don’t have to add the amount for MS/SD/MMC card in your mobile budget.K300i looks trendy and meanwhile costly too but when people hear its price they get surprised. I bet that you can not find the same quality mobile with exact set of functions in any company and if you find then be aware as some function might be absent like the could be dual band or infrared absent or may be cant run videos etc.

                            tonia,

                            yes, the K300i is the version of K300 mainly used in all other countries except China (K300c) and North/South America (k300a)

                                    Ranjan,

                                    the j210 and the k300 don't have the same screen - they are made by different suppliers to Sony Ericsson and look different inside. j210 was launched later than K300 and might therefore have an improved CSTN display. If you cannot adjust it you have to live with it.
