Sony Ericsson C902 - Alarm Function?
I've had my C902 for a few weeks and love it. Really nice design, love the camera, love how it all works etc. I've found there's a problem with the alarm function though - it just doesn't work. I've checked it's all set properly, and initially it works, but fails to go off at all after that. I don't want to have to reset the alarm every night.
Does anyone else have this problem? I'm also having problems with it freezing for a few minutes. Will it be solved with some sort of software upgrade, I wonder? Cheers in advance. |

The alarm bug is common in this phone which should be fixed with a software upgrade. Try switching your phone on and off every couple of days as I have heard this helps solve the alarm problem.

Hi
I have the exact problems - the alarm, the freezing, and also very poor reception, especially when on the net. i rang SE and they said in the next 4 weeks there will be a software update available to download which should fix the alarm issue. I hope so because last week i got into work 1.5 hours late cos i overslept! |

I am having the same problem, and called O2 prior to finding this thread.
They said they would take the phone back and send me a refurb which I am not too keen on. I have just run the update software function and it has come back to say that my phone already has the latest software. The softwre version is 1204-1731 R3BA035 080521 |

Thanks for the replies. When I checked for software updates via my phone, it always came back telling me I had the most up to date version. I eventually got around to plugging it into my laptop in a fit of rage, visited the Sony Eriksson website and downloaded the correct PC to phone software as well as the actual phone software - which was a newer version than was on my phone.
On my phone that comes up as: 1204-1731 R3CA038 080721 This seems to have done the trick, anyway, and all's good! Word of warning to anyone who does this - your phone will be completely wiped of photos, music etc, so make sure you make a back up of everything (including all of your phone numbers - which the software SE supply will do for you) before you start. Thanks again! |

Downloaded the latest software via the USB cable, and the phone seems to be ok now.. Will monitor it.

The phone is totally unreliable as anything other that to speak to people. The camera is past rubbish too. ![]() It's currently sitting on ebay. I'll stick with my K810i. Not let me down so far..

was it new. we have a new one from CPW and its ok. not 100% sure about the camera. but i think the K810i is better, the C902 is just a update |

Yes. I have.
Did that back at the beginning of September. See my post up there ^^^ #15. My point is, I thought that would have fixed the problem. It did for a while, and when I most needed it, it failed. So. It's going. I hope some buys it quick too.

That's really odd. I have the phone and it's been getting me up at 6am each morning for the last 2 weeks.
