New phone, but a problem... by Jimbo on 04-18-2007 at 02:47 PM

I recently recieved my SE k800i, and i am really happy with it but there is one problem.
Whenever i am in a call (whether i start it, or recieve it), i hear no sound ubnless i put speaker phone on. The people can hear me but i cant hear them :S
Any ideas?

yeah, on the left side of the phone theres a two way button. It is also used for the camera to zoom in and out.
Phone someone and press these buttons

That's a different speaker.

All the loud noises (such as music, game sounds and speakerphone) come out of the speaker on the back (or in some cases, side) of the phone. The earpiece on the front that you use for calls is probably broken.

Oh ok, O2 should replace it hopefully :|

right
beforte you do anything do the following:

We are going to use what i call "the secret menu" to test the earspeaker. (It is actually called the service menu)

go to the home and do the following: -> * <- <- * <- *

<- = left on joystick
-> = right on joystcik

* = press star on keypad.


After you done that click on test settings (i think its called that cant remeber) and then scroll down to earpeaker. If it does not emit any sound it concludes that it is not broken :)

I had some sort of a problem with my SE K300i
i found out that the phone was automatically switching to a a different profile,in which it tought i had pluged in an earpiece..

cleaned out the connecters on the bottom and restarted the phone
and never had that problem again

If it doesn't make any sound, surely that means it is broken?

No, it could be malfunctioning software, trust me just do it. and tell he what happens :)


RE: New phone, but a problem... by Jimbo on 04-18-2007 at 03:38 PM

Ok i did it, it plays the sony ericson theme through the earpiece, I can hear it.


RE: New phone, but a problem... by Dr4g0n on 04-18-2007 at 03:39 PM

In that case Nathan is right and it's a firmware problem.

But still, the simplest thing to do is get O2 to replace it.


RE: New phone, but a problem... by Nathan on 04-18-2007 at 03:40 PM

Well then, it is not broken. I would like you to master reset (reset settings only) and then tell me if it solves :it :)


RE: New phone, but a problem... by Cartox on 04-18-2007 at 03:41 PM

Since the problem occurred have you tried restarting it?
Also try checking if the phone thinks there an earpiece attached..


RE: New phone, but a problem... by Jimbo on 04-18-2007 at 03:43 PM

I did master reset, it worked for about 20 seconds and then just stopped:S

And now, the earphone service test isn't working either.


RE: New phone, but a problem... by Sunshine on 04-18-2007 at 03:52 PM

Jimbo why don't you just contact O2 about the problem..if anything they should tell you what to try/do (if they don't replace it right away). If you do as they say they can't put the blame of it beeing broken on you...it would be something else if you had had this phone for years, but this is a new one..warranty, use it!


RE: New phone, but a problem... by Nathan on 04-18-2007 at 03:54 PM

orr, you could reflash the firmware, its not hard to do with the right tools.
But yeah send it to 02 cos i cba to show ou h ow to do it (a)


RE: New phone, but a problem... by Jimbo on 04-18-2007 at 04:22 PM

Thanks for you help everyone, o2 are sending a replacement on friday :D
