[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...

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design.

Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
