How To Unlock Sony Ericsson Z520aI have tested the function Lock to SP... At least on the 337 there's a submenu: Enter SPCK-code. There are 5 attempts, which is showed (05 attempts). At final attempt the phone beeps as a warning, 'this is the final try', when entering the menu... Wrong code exits the menu, so you are not stuck in something... When you have tried to enter the code (wrong) all five times, the menu is deactivated, and you'll get: 'Not allowed' when entering <-**<-
Accessing the Service Program that is not provided with the 388.
1. Connect the 388 to Cable with RS232/TTL converter.
2. Set Comport to 9600bps, 8 data, 1 stop, no parity.
3. Power ON, wait for '2' and send '0B' to the phone. DO NOT Press ENTER.
4. R should be on screen.
5. Send TEST.BIN. (Send as a binary file)
6. 388 should answer 'SP,OK'.
7. R should be on screen.
DO NOT write or read from the IMEI or SPCK area! If you try that you can send the phone to service at once, because you will automatically write FE or EF to EVERY cell in the EEPROM. In other words, all the calibration values for the radio is overwritten... (NOT good)
Some commands in the ServiceProg:
eere read from eeprom
eewe write eeprom
lime xxxx xxxx xxxx xxx Learn imei no. Returns Error.
imei - Displays IMEI number

Done, I don't have the above files so please don't ask for them.
Interesting Informating (well I thought so :)
The names on the files, sj.....X45 tells you a couple of things. 'sj' stands for Sofia-Jane, thats the internal name for the model and x45 stands for 'sub-model'. The 388 is called model 4/5. The latest 337 phones is called 'cr', like in Cost Reduction. They rebuilt the oscillator from a bought-in to one built up with discrete components and that was cheaper.
Programming Channel Indicator or RBS
To enable, send the following command:
EEWR 3EE 1
Wait for the OK prompt, power off* the phone and disconnect it from the interface cables. Powerup and browse through the menus.
To diasable, send the following command:
EEWR 3EE 0
Clearing Electronic Lock
To clear the electronic lock you have to clear the EEPROM address range 03CF to 03DA by sending the commands:
EEWR 3CF 00
EEWR 3D0 00
EEWR 3D1 00
EEWR 3D2 00
EEWR 3D3 00
EEWR 3D4 00
EEWR 3D5 00
EEWR 3D6 00
EEWR 3D7 00
EEWR 3D8 00
EEWR 3D9 00
EEWR 3DA 00
COOL STUFF TO DO
Set ComPort to 115200bps, 8 data, 1 stop, no parity and watch all the phone commands on the screen and so on. Make a call and see what happens as well as shutting down.
*POWER OFF
You should press the NO button a few times until Shut Down comes up on the screen, when it does press yes and this will shut down the phone properly.
Reading the Channel Info now that's it's enabled

1. This is three different channels things depending on the phone state.
a. When the phone is idle, this shows 'Bxxx'. 'B' stands for 'Broadcast channel' (a logic GSM channel)b. When a phonecall is in progress, this shows 'Sxxx'. S stands for 'Stand Alone Dedicated Control Channel' SDCCH for short.
c. When the phoncall in up, this shows 'Txxx'. 'T' Stands for Traffic channel. The 'xxx' thing is the channel number, 1-124.
2. This shows Rx Level. The values displayed is from 0 to 63. Rx Level is a indicator on how good your reception is for the moment. 0 is a signal strength of -110dBm. 63 is approx -45 to -50dBm.RXLEV is measured in dBm in such a way that incoming signal equals -110.5+RXLEV so that a RXLEV at 50 equals an incoming signal strenght at -50.5 dBm (plus or minus max deviation 0.5dBm)
3. This shows the output power in dBm.
4. This shows the timeslot used for the moment. You can see it when making a call.
5. This shows Rx Quality. Rx Quality is a measurement of how much error correction is required to the speech. 0 indicates none and as the figure rises you hear more pings and pongs on the speech as large parts of the frame are missing. If you have more RxQ then 5, you are on good way to loose your call. RxQuality reads 0-7.RXQUAL is measured by using a table wereas the biterrorrate or BER is interesting and measured in %
RXQUAL table
0 BER < 0,2 (%)
1 0,2 < BER < 0,4
2 0,4 < BER < 0,8
3 0,8 < BER < 1,6
4 1,6 < BER < 3,2
5 3,2 < BER < 6,4
6 6,4 < BER < 12,8 (here we have lost half a burst)
7 12,8 < BER
6. This shows the timing advance. The BS tells the MS to send before it should just make sure that the MS burst is comming to the BS on the right time. The TA is measured in halfbits so the distance to the BTS can be calculated as follows=1,11*TA/2. TimingAdvance reads 0-63. Co-incidentely this tells you how far you are from the base site in 550metre chunks, up to the theoretical max of 35.2km.

Synching to Outlook

How well does the SE software synch to MS Outlook? I am looking for a new phone and one of the major requirements for me is to get one that I can synch my calendar and contacts to Outlook. How does this compare to the Nokia and Moto software?

what is the difference between the z520a and z525a??

i noticed the PTT button on the z525a sticks out and easily pushed
is the z520a the same way.. and is it a cingular phone?
thanks

DL Ringtones, etc. to Mac, Use Bluetooth Transfer to Phone?

Is there any reason why you can't download ringtones/pix to a Mac then transfer the files via Bluetooth to the z520a?
Any suggestions on how to do so?
For the record, I'm using a D-Link DBT-120 dongle for connectivity (love transferring between my Mac's address book & my phone!)...
Thanks in advance!

Z520 Help

I have had this phone for abour 3 weeks. I am with Cingular. A few days after I got the phone I woke up in the morning and opened the phone and the screen was blank. I thought maybe it had some stupid power saver feature where if the phone is inactive for a few hours it automatically turns off. So I held the power button and nothing happened. I was terrified and I took out the battery, put it back in, and turned on the phone. It worked.
Several days later, it happened again. So far it has happened 5 times and I am scared. What is wrong with it? The battery seems fine. It lasts forever. What should I do? I don't want to have to contact Sony about this.

Charging Problem - I think its the cord

I have had my phone for about 6 mos. w/no problems all of a sudden it wouldn't charge good so I ordered another battery. I think its the phone cord. You have to move it around and get it in a certain position and keep it there in order for it to charge. If it moves the charging stops. Has anyone else had this problem?

HELP! Phone freezes, can't hear other party, phone makes calls on it's own.....

Help.... I have already exchanged this phone once with Cingular. This 'new' Z520a continues to have problems:
1) Phone just completely froze. Had to pop out batttery.
2) When earbud is plugged in, the phone sometimes calls the first person on in my phonebook (and I even changed the Magic word to something long and obscure).
3) Often, when I make a call or try to receive a call, the call connects, but yet I can't hear the other person. I just hear my own voice echoing (this is with the earbud).
4) About half the time, the hands free 'Answer' command doesn't work.
Has anyone else had these kinds of problems? How did you fix it?
Sony Ericsson said they had never heard of any of these issues and suggested that I do the soft...

Unlocking Cingular Protection

Does anyone have any input on being able to unlock Cingular Protection on Themes and Ringtones? These phones are coming with themes, ringtones, etc. that can be downloaded from Sony Ericsson, but they are file protected so that they cannot be deleted. Therefore, you do not have room to add the ones you would prefer to have. Personally, I do not appreciate having to keep the ones that I don't care for that are taking up memory space. PLEASE HELP!!!

Wierd question about the Z520a

Ok this may seem like a odd question, but here it goes....I got the Z520a a few days ago and I accidently deleted the demo tour video on it...I called Sony Ericsson and they told me the only way to get it back is by finding someone who has it on their phone and send it to mine....so any of you that may have it can you let me know and can u send it to me....
I kinda want it back on since it has it's own part in a menu.......thanks

Does your Z520 drop calls?

OK, I got my phone this week. Very cool features and lots of fun to play with... But I get so many calls that are dropped I'm ready to take it back. Signal strength seems to fluctuate wildly while sitting still. Do you think it's just a lemon and try a new one? Or ditch it altogether and go Nokia or Motorola.
I live in a metro area and have Cingular which hasn't given me any headachs before.
Anyone else had this problem? (emailed Sony few days ago, and so far no response)
