Hi All,
My Sony Ericsson t68i is acting kinda wierd. Whne the phone is turned
on, it makes all the normal sounds/animations/etc.
However, whenever I make a call, the sound volume is set at 0 and it
cannot be turned up at all. When I try to turn the volume upwith the
slide bar on the side, the screen says Volume 0/0 and it won't go up.
There in a single horizintal bar/line just above the "0/0" volume text.
I thought it might have been a problem with the speaker but the same
things happens even when I put in my hands-free ear piece.
I got the speakers swapped in the phone with the same result. I reset
the phone and nothing.
I'm stuck. Has anyone got any ideas to help me out ?
Thanks
Sonny

I've seen this before, and on this newsgroup, but I'm not sure how to solve
it. I'd suggest taking the phone back if under warrantee and (the shop may
have come across this before) they'll send it to be repaired (unless within
28 days, instead they'll give you a new phone).
Hope this helps

My mate had a t68i that did the same- then he found it had been black
listed.

Mine does it occasionally - but I've never been certain if it's a fault with
the phone or if I just didn't turn it on properly.. I've never actually seen
it 'reset' but maybe once or twice a month I'll take it out of my pocket and
it'll be on the 'Enter PIN' screen.

I had this a few times when I bought it my T68 and when I got an insurance
replacement T68i. I left it on charge for about a day and have not had the
problem since. In fact the last few phones I have bought have behaved like
this until the battery was worn in - so to speak.

The Problem with the T68i is even with the keypad locked, by holding down
the power button for more than 10 seconds will turn the phone off, so what
might have happen is by putting in your pocket the phone is turning off and
back on with the "enter pin" screen.

Re: T68i problem
It happens one time when the phone was lying on a table, so it canīt be
that the on/off button was pressed by mistake..

Wow I never knew that - just tried it and my phone didn't like it very much!
It doesn't even shut down properly if you turn the phone off that way... the
next start-up takes ages to complete.

Re: T68i problem
I had a similar problem with my brand new T68i. It turned itself off
a couple of times a week. Once it was in its desk stand and I
saw it happen in the corner of my eye. No key pressed at that time!
During the same period I upgraded the software several times with
no luck. Was on the verge to send it back but then R8A015 had just arrived
at the service center. Decided to give it a final try. This was on June 18.
The phone has not shut itself off since then.
