C902 Current Problem list with MPE

[kirkie]

It is quite apparent that a lot of us are having issues with the Sony Ericsson C902 and My Phone Explorer.

Can people please vote and add to the list of current faults and issues?

If you can also state what Country & Network you are also on to see if it is network specific.

1. You lose connection for no reason sometimes.

2. If you send a message it says failed even though it has been sent.

3. If you receive a text message whilst on MPE it kicks you out.

4. The battery display sometimes shows blank even though it is charging.

5. The contacts list doesn't always update even after sync.

[kirkie]

So as you all know mine has many issues and I'm on:

UK VODAFONE

[FJ]

Point 6 is a general issue which has nothing to do with the C902, i removed it.

[kirkie]

What I have noticed is after a text message is received you get disconnected from MPE, but if you click on monitor you see that the battery image is empty, but then it reconnects and you just have to refresh the inbox...

[kirkie]

My contacts for both sim and phone don't actually reflect what is in my phone even after I have sync or downloaded with the arrow....

If I delete a contact it goes from MPE, but not the phone....

I sometimes get Sim entry could not be changed if I try to edit a contact...

Hi, I have all the issues as above, am also on Vodafone UK....surely it can't be an issue with the network??

AJ

ps my phone has been debranded

[glorfingal]

mine's a UK unbranded version and only suffers the "SMS send failed"
issue.
If I want to send using a "full" keyboard I have to use PC Suite

[kirkie]

I am currently using PC Suite and it works no problem at all, but is no way as good as MPE....

[FJ]

OK, the PC-Suite uses another COM-Port (which should be normally not used with MyPhoneExplorer)
- close the PC-Suite (also from tray)
- start MPE
- post the logfile
- i will tell you then which Port the PC-Suite uses and you can try it with the same one

[kirkie]

This is with out the phone plugged in


....

[FJ]

Forgot to say: the phone has to be plugged in so that i can see the Ports on your system

I have sent it in a PM.

[FJ]

OK, if i'm right then the PC-Suite uses COM16, please try to connect with COM16 and then send a message. Please note:
- normally its not recommened to use this port cause often it produces buffer-overflows, but its just for test now
- take care that you send really short messages ( < 20 chars) to be sure that its not the known overflow which raises the problem

[ajwales]

My computer only gives the option of COM 3,4,5,6,7

Still get the send failed even though it has been sent....

[FJ]

Hmm - are you common with the Tool PortMonitor ? The last choice is to compare the spyed connection from the PC-Suite with the connection from MyPhoneExplorer.

[ajwales]

I have sent you the log from Portmon,

Cheers

[Bulgkun]

hi all,

I can't get MPE to recognize my phone. Installed drivers, removed battery, connected in "phone mode", not "file transfer", NOTHING!

I am using an unlocked phone, and I'm on MTel Bulgaria...

HELP!!!

[bulgkun]

I got it to work. Unfortunately, I don't know how
