every so often my screensaver disappears and i get a red x in its place

when this happens my camera album shows as having no files and my ringtone defaults to a sony ericsson one

when i restart the phone all is well, ie piccies files etc are all back

does anyone know why this is happening ?

Yes berley i have the same problem, i`ve already had it in to get fixed, but a month later it is doing the same thing, i`m now waiting on a return`s box come through the post, so as to send it back and get a replacement,,,,,

how often was this happening with you and did it steadily get worse

the reason for asking is mine isn't under warranty and it happens maybe once a week, its annoying enough as it is, just hope it doesnt get steadily worse

No berley mine`s is about one`s every month, and i think you should ask for a exchange, the thing is berley this seems to be a software problem, and if you get a exchange who`s to say you will not have a problem with the next one, My sister also has a 850i, but she is having different problems, and i do believe it`s still software probs she`s having, so there is an issuse with these phones, but they will never ever let on, that`s for sure ??

You still having problems with this?

As your out of warrenty, you could try reflashing the firmware, or updating it even.

Let me know an I'll talk you through it if need be.

I bought a sony erricsson phone about 6 months ago and it says in the wee book that you get a 2 year manufacturers warranty with the phone, its a different model from yours but just thought I would let you know because most warrantys only last 1 year.

thanks aky, i'll swap mine with the hubbys then and see if that makes any difference, his is a new one and as yet he hasn't added anything to it, so i'll clear mine and he wont notice
