I HATE this phone. My Sony is 2 years old and from day one I have had nothing but problems. This phone shuts itself off even when it has a full charge randomly. Speaking of the charge. Sometimes a full charge will last several day and sometimes it last only a few hours. One day I had a full charge when I left home a few hours later I wanted to get a number off of it. Once I accessed my address book my phone when dead from lack of charge. I am finally getting new phones for my husband and myself and getting rid of this piece of s--t.

federico, 27 Jan 2008If you got the white screen BUT the phone makes and receive... moreI just got the WSOD. I think I'm just gonna replace the phone with an iphone, but I'd like to replace the flex cable to get as much stuff off my phone as possible before I dump it.
Do you know of any websites where you can see how to replace the flex cable. I found one at http://www.2valor.com/Service/dface/ERIZ520.asp but this page is all just picutres (which is great) but when I look up the flex cables on ebay, it looks way different... or maybe I just don't get it cause I havne't taken my phone apart yet... ?
Also, if anyone wants the "how to" to get your contacts on Sim, I found it at this forum. http://www.fixya.com/support/t253640-blank_screen_sony_ericsson_z525a
If you scroll down it's there. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to soon. I figured I'll load all my contacts on Sim before I try to open my phone and replace the cable.

This is the 3rd Z525 whose screen goes completely white on me, basically, this is the worst phone I have ever had. Just about to give AT&T a call and hopefully they will replace it once again...

So I have this phone, the screen didn't go white, it just went blank and shut off. Would replacing the flex cable make a difference? Or is it a different problem?

After extensive research, I decided on a SE Z525 16 months ago. Right about the one year mark, the screen just suddently went white. I had a week left on my warranty so AT&T replaced it. 4 months later it happened again. AT&T only warranted the refurbished phone for 30 days. I called Sony and they said I could send it in and they would attempt to fix it, but it would take three weeks. Since this is the only phone I have, this leaves me with no phone. They will not send a loaner phone. This is not a unique problem with this phone and I as the consumer am stuck with a broken phone and a contact I cannot get out of. I will not buy a SE phone again and will tell all my friends not to bother buying one either.

Three members of our calling plan all had the z525a model. Of those three, two have stopped working all together, and the last one (mine fortunately) has some random errors. Periodically, the phone will be unable to access the SIM

Is anyone able to break this down for me please. My screen has gone white & I have some priceless vids that I would like to transfer over to my new cell. eg centre, toggle left x2 etc.
So turning the infrared or bluetooth on, and then sending the videos.
Anyone? Please. Hopefully. Ta.

center, toggle down (1 time), center, toggle up (2 times), center, toggle down (5 times), center, toggle down (5 times), center (3 times)
then wait for quite some time...it takes a while to copy all of the contacts...I would say anywhere from 5 to 10 mins...

if anyone could give me detailed instructions on how to copy the address book to the sim card that would be great. such as push menu then 8, then scroll up(down x number of times) etc etc

I am on my third z525 in 14 months and I just got the WSOD on it yesterday. The first phone I received worked for two weeks and then completely quit on me. The second phone worked for 10 months before I got the white screen on it. Luckily they extended my warranty by 90 days with this new phone so I should be able to get another, yes another, replacement. I really love this phone. I just wish it would work!

P.S. The screen/glass itself is fine. It is just a picture of a broken window.
