[Review] Sony Ericsson W800i


Recommended Posts

I have been having some weird problems with adding music lately. I used to have a bunch of songs on the phone, but I took them off so I could put a load of new songs on (including some of the ones I took off). Most of the new ones I put on would play, but for some reason all the songs off a few albums (and funnily enough they were the same type of music, club music) would not play, I just get the error message "playback failed". I know for a fact that some of the songs used to play before on my phone, so what the hell is happening now? I tried formatting the memory card to know avail.

This is weird :blink:

After some further research I have found out that this problem is caused by a firmware error. As I am on Orange, Orange have not released the R1AA008 firmware for the W800i as yet as they have not approved it. So I am still stuck with the RNA005 firmware, and there is a bug with that firmware which is causing my problems :(

Just thought I would tell you all.

I thought it was illegal in some countrys to have silent cameras? That's why Sony made it so that you cannot switch off the sound :s

It is illegal in some countries (i.e. the UK). My phone is from france and has a silent shutter by default.

In other news: My phone has started messing up again...every time the clock/screensaver comes on it crashes and I have to remove the battery :(

Have you sorted out your problem yet? Post about it on Esato, they are usually quite helpful as the chances are someone else may have experienced your problem.

why it is illegal? to avoid vouyerism or something?

2 days ago i bought this phone, i dont live in the city, is like an hour from here. so, it was my mistake, i forgot something very important, the ratio signal. actually yes there is signal but from another company, so i cant use in my home!!, i think that makes me a donkey, :(

so i told to this store (it wasnt directly with movistar) and they?ve said that there could be something they can do, off course bringing back my money i think---:no:: .

reading a little, i see that there is a way to "unlock" the phone and then i can bring them with any company i would like.

im preparing myself to be alone, since this girl says "actually i should not be saying this to you but you can unlock the phone and switch to telcel (company)" by this i think they are not going to take care, sadly this is the way things are done here. if you can bring me one idea it would be great, why i didnt go with telcel in the 1st place, because this phone its currently out of stock. and by the way, she told me that the "unlock" thing its done for 30-40$. :angry::

anyway :pinch:: noOOO!!!

why it is illegal? to avoid vouyerism or something?

probably.

Over here there was a big thing when the newspapers taking a picture of a football game had accidently caught some guy taking a shot up a cheerleaders skirt to the side of the photo.

That case is a bit stupid considering cheerleaders are wearing them mini skirts to get that exact attention, but none the less it's that sort of thing they are probably trying to avoid.

There have been times I wish I could kill the camera sound. Taking a picture of a mate in a lecture or something and accidently forgetting the sound it makes. eek.

Nice phone BTW

The camera click can be removed. Basically, this is how it works:

SE release the phone so that it clicks when you take a picture in a normal profile, but when in silen mode, it doesn't click.

THEN

Some operators (as part of their branding/locking/generally messing with your phone) disable the silent no-click - so it always clicks.

SO

You use DaVinci to flash and unlock your phone...

    • So its a museum of AI prompts? Boring
    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
