Hello cindy02286,

Thank you for your response!

However, since I am not able to see my menu options due to white screen, I am having a bit of difficulty following the instructions you have provided.

If you are able to provide me w/ details for either of the following options, that will be wonderful!

Option 1) Menu shortcuts

Option 2) Key stroke by Key stroke (ie hit menu button, hit down button once, etc...)

Thanks again!

    Dear say8,
    I also have what I thought was only my phone-WSOD bug, but I can tell you that even though you can't save all data to the sim card, you can save contacts to sim card like this: click on menu- Go to address book, click on options-click on advanced-scroll down to 'copy to smartchip'-choose copy all-then click yes-before you do I suggest that you scroll down and highlight each option in the advanced tab then click on info to get instructions on what each one does, I've had my SE Z525A phone for over a year and I'm pretty sure that's all you can save to the sim-hope this helps, Cindy

      Anyone w/ a working Sony Ericsson Z525a that can email me a detailed key stroke by key stroke to save data to sim card? I also just got affected by the white screen of death issue.

      Thanks!

        I got the white screen too! Now I have to convince my mom to by me a new one - It hasn't been a year yet since I bought my phone, I bought it last june. T.T

          I have been bit by the WSOD bug. I am luckier than many -- I went about 18 months without a hitch(admittedly with light use and gentle handling) but since I got the white screen of death 4 days ago I can find no way to recover. From what I read on the web it appears to be a ribbon cable issue but does anyone know of a master reset button? Seems like a lot of these devices have a way to do a hard reboot to restore factory settings. I had a problem with my sound about a week ago that was resolved by the restore button in settings menu. I am trying to recreate the same keystroke sequence based on the product manual, but it is hard to tell if I am doing it correctly since my only feedback is the snowy WSOD. ARGGGG

            THE WORST PHONE I HAVE EVER OWNED! don't get it not worth the money and AT&T dosen't care. I have replaced it twice in a year and now i can't get a new one, and i am stuck looking for a new phone and dising out 100's of dollars to replace a 100 dollar phone. a totaly ripe off.

              Not only is the phone no good, but AT&T isn't either. They have bad customer service and really don't care if they sell you faulty equipment. 4 out of 4 phones are dead. I can't wait until my contract expires so I can go to another carrier! Of course I chose Cingular and unfortunately got stuck with them once again to find bad service from AT&T

                I hate this phone I have 5 lines with this same phone and every phone has been replaced once at least once then there are two that have been replaced three times. The screen goes out on them and then you cannot see who is calling or any of the options and they lock you in to the two year contract and no way to get new phone for 18 months of you having the contract.

                  I hate this phone. I got 2 sony ericsson z525 (not just 1 but 2!!!!)on April this year. I had the blank screen issue with both phones. After having them replaced under warranty, they were working fine but one of them just went blank AGAIN!!!! So it's the 3rd F-ing time I'm going thru this and I don't know what else to do. I hate AT&T and Sony Ericsson I WANT ANOTHER BRAND AND ANOTHER MODEL. :(

                      Ive had this phone for two years and im finally getting a new one but i have to say im gonna miss it
                      Its only fault is the blank/white screen!!!!
                      The only way to get it bak to normal is to take out the battery and then put it back in and then turn it on again!!!
                      This gets it back to normal but doesnt stop it doing it again

                            And I thought my white screen was a weird problem. I was amazed by how many people have had this problem with this phone, even after replacing it. I agree that Sony needs to recall this phone adn the other models that apparently do the same thing. I HATE the PTT button, but have never had an incoming call cut off because of it. I found that if you do accidentally hit it while going to answer it, which obscures the screen so you can't see who's calling, you can hold down the PTT button so you can read the display. Obviously, this only works if you don't have your phone set to answer upon opening. It looks like I'm in for a tough time getting this phone replaced. I had no insurance on it - won't do that again. Thanks for all the informative posts.

                              This is a cool phone considering its economy.

                                All these things don't happened to me. I love this mobile, I didn't and I don't have any problem with it. I love sony ericsson and it lasted me a couple of years. I don't wanna change it. But, at the time, it is too old.

                                      This phone is the worst phone I have ever had for many reasons:
                                      1. The PTT button is in the way
                                      2. The phone is hard to hang on to
                                      3. The camera/video quality is terrible
                                      4. The screen went blank/white
                                      5. The sim card is hard to get out
                                      6. You have to hold the on/off button for a long time to get it to cut on.
