i have this phone for 7 months now. My phone has problems on both screens since i first get it. The main screen inside will b blur sometimes and only display a white screen with nth. The outer/ smaller screen is in completely blue. It will go back to normal display after a few flips sometimes but this time it is still all-white in the main screen. Anyone know what is the problem? I think somethng is loose inside the phone but not sure. Fyi, the phone is totally working. i still can receive call and make call by pressing number, jz cant see anything in the screen. I apprecite it if anyone can help. Thanks

    I have had this phone for almost a year now and it had been working perfectly until now. I am encountering the "no network" issue that some of you have written about. Now I ran by some sites and I found that one person had the coax cable replaced part no:RPM113357. My question is can anyone confirm that this is indeed the part that needed to be replaced and if an American (Canadian or American) has this phone and had it fixed here, could you please tell me where you had it fixed? if not on the forum then by email is fine.

    Thanks for the help in advance

      enough! for the last time hir are the answers to your queries!!!!!!

      u cant plat mp3 if u have the jap. firmware only the euro firmware would allow you but that's that! you can't use it as a ringtone! the drm packager does not work with this phone!

      and about the signal, yes its one of the main problems that this phonme has and it is really happenning!!!!! the battery life is poor considering that this is a 3g phone! the keypad structure also sucks!

        I love this phone.. *sob_ but the Reception is CRAP! I have sent this phone for repairs TWICE to Vodacare. I need a replacement.. tho i dont think any other phone would let u use MP3, camera, MXIT + other functions at the same time.
        BELP!?! anybody

            Hey I had this phone for a month or so, then I returned it to Vodafone, basically because t had a very poor signal performenace, most of the time it was out of the network in an area of full coverage, an Simens A52 did not have any problem at all! Software update did not help. It is bigger than it seems. Oh and by the way the camera is rather bad with poorlight performance.

                Hi,there.I have my V800 for the last 4 months.Recently i found out by reading this forum the way to set a mp3 as a ringtone by using DRM Packager, so now i'm completely satisfied! Is there a way to add tones to be used for the messages alert? Thanks!

                  all v800 user, did your phone encounter any signal problem? i read from some websites that some users' v800 can't get any signal when the phone's flip is close and regain signal when the phone's flip is open...

                          I have bought V800 for a month, and I think all the features are great apart from you can't really use the your songs as ringtone...Because it says the file is not protected or something like that...So I was just wondering can someone tell me is there any way that I can use my songs to be ringtones? thks very much

                            i have had a v800 for about 3 months. i thin k its a great phone but i have found that being a flip phone it is not as sturdy as other phones i have had e.g p900,p910,w800i. the v800 is one of the best 3g phones available with everything from a media player to memory stick (up to 2gb) support for holding all those mp3's. the only thing is the price. at £250+ it could be out of budget for some people.

                                    I have a Sony Ericsson V802SE Vodafone. I would like to use it as an MP3 player. I am aware of the fact that Vodafone has made it hard to use this function and I need this DRM Packager program in order to convert the MP3 files in the format the phone will work with. I downloaded the program but I don't know how to use it. I got this window from DRM Packager and this it!. Can somebody help me with the directions how to use it? Thank you very much, hope to hear from you soon.

                                      I ordered a SE V800 and i keep hearing about updating the Firmware from SE website to the Z800 to increase performance and other features. What is the down side of doing this? Any consecuencies besides warranty? I also want to sync with my MAC i dont find any of the software to mgmt files, sync etc for MAC. I will really appretiate help on this. I will be asking more next week once i receive the phone. Thanks to all.

                                        you must convert your *.mp3 musics with "Mp3 Player Drm Packager" to a *.DM file. After you convert it, will apear a subfolder called DRM in the folder were you have the mp3 music that you want as ringtone. Then you must copy that *.DM file to your phone. The phone plays the DM files as ringtones and not *.mp3 files.
