My Sony Ericsson phone hanged whenever I call or recv call , pl help me how to take backup on external card & upgrade my phone

The phone is hanging up with the games folders because there are errors in the software. So to reset remove the battery and the memory card from the phone. Using your PC , scan the memory card for any corrupt files or media files with virus- it is possible when they are downloaded from unsafe sites. If so remove or format the card. Now replace the card and battery and switch on the phone. If the phone hangs up then it is confirmed that the software is corrupt and will need a reinstallation as an update may not help. Seeking help from the authorized service /support centre is most ideal. Take estimate and decide.

you could try upgrading the software version to the latest. before you do that , first backup and perform a factory reset then upgrade.

regards

To overcome the problem, update your software.
Download and install Sony Ericsson Update Service.
Run Update Service and follow the instructions to update your phone.
Note: You must be online to update. You will lose all your data. Backup before updating

software update, is the only way to try, othere wise it is hardware related, had the sam problem did a firmware upgrade, thenn it stopped hanging

1.backup first all of your contacts and important files
2.make a master clear w/ your phone and after restart.
3.if still the same make a fullflash or upgrade your firmware.

what you need to do is choose the master reset button and get a new memory card

jha - you could be having a problem with the memory card, you could try a new m2 card and see if it hangs if it does not it was the card but if it still hangs with a new card then you should try and reflash the firmware on the phone.....to fix it...you can do this online at topsony.com or at a mobile service center.

Guest - reflash the firmware on the phone

I am upset over Sony Ericsson’s PC suite for SmartPhone. I’ve had Sony Ericsson’s P1i for a couple of months now and honestly the phone is great.
I have a 1GB memory stick on my P1i which has every almost every function those items have. In fact now I have a QWERTY pad along with me all the time.

Well everything was perfect until I decided to upgrade my software. So I did these following steps:
Installed Sony Ericsson PC Suite for Smartphone, which was included in the box.
Downloaded and installed the Sony Ericsson P1i Update Service software.
Used the Backup Manager that came along with SE PC Suite to backup every single content of my phone.
Ran Update Service following the steps provided in the software.
Lastly tried to Restore my backup onto my phone.
Guess what? It didn’t work!!! Ran a full backup and the PC Suite froze at like the 30th percent with a message “Mobile phone not responding….”. I selected all these to restore:
Contacts
Calendar
Notes
Unified Inbox
Settings
Multimedia
3rd Party Applications
Bull Poop!!! I tried to run it 3 times and still didn’t work. When did the phone stop responding? When the PC Suite rebooted the phone and P1i screen prints “Restore in progress”. Its a piece of **** I tell you.
I googled in hope that someone would shed light on me. That was when I discovered previous versions of Sony Ericsson SmartPhones had a similar problem too. In case you are wondering, the phone models I am talking about are SE’s P990i and M600i and their variations. I am so bloody disappointed. I can’t believe it could hang on me when I feel the phone had been great all the time.
Well now comes to the shitty part of trouble shooting. I can’t possibly let go of my backups. I’ve already lost all my Contacts and stuff 2 months ago. Can’t let this happen again. So I tried to restore one item at a time.
I went down the list of priorities as such:
Contacts - Success!
Calendar - Success!
Notes - Success!
Unified Inbox - Success!
Settings - Success!
Multimedia - Success!
3rd Party Applications - Success!
Wierd isn’t it? It works when you try to restore one item at a time but not when you select all. How can this be? Software problem!!! Developers at Sony should look into this. I didn’t have this problem with Nokia E65 when I helped my brother do an upgrade.
What’s the point of having a full restore function when it doesn’t work??? And if the problem had been surfaced by the users of the previous models, why isn’t the problem solved still? Can’t possibly blame Symbian for Sony Ericsson’s PC Suite, could we?…
so i gone to sony service they told me that there is a fault in circuit board and it has to be raplaced with a new one i had given in mulund service centre
till now 12 days had passed they not given me my p1i saying that the circuitboard is sent to chennai and there is not extar manufacturing of board due to this we cant give the phone now they are saying come within 3days i am fadeup with these sony service and p1i
i am requesting sony to look on this matter and tofind solution on it by upgrading there new upgrading version

you will need to purchase the memory card from a store

Sony Ericsson Phones have been known for those hanging issues, however, we have issues and we have resolutions. Have you ever upgraded the firmware on this phone? Even if the firmware is the latest one, I would suggest a firmware reflash. Don't forget to backup your data before you go for a upgrade or a reflash. In order to know the existing firmware on your phone, press this: > * < < * < * where < is left, > is right. Then go to the Software Info under Service Info. You may go to the official sony ericsson website; select you country; go to support; select the phone; download the Updater Service. And you would be able to find the latest firmware. Cheers
