Video Tour: Sony Ericsson TM506

hey every1
i have a problem wiz ma phone... 😢
sometimes i dial a number and press the hang up to make a missed call or dial a landline (specially landlines) but it continues to dial and i keep pressing hang up but it keeps dialing then the screen goes black and come back after a while ...
i got this phone unlocked a while ago and i was thinking about installing the software again or updating it (is there a difference?) but i fear that it would get locked again and then i will have to reuinlock it again but that would cost me serious money again..plz help..thanx 🙂

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to set mp3s that I download as my text message ringtone? When I try to set my text message alert, the TM506 just gives me a fixed list of tones that I have to choose from.

Thanks.

I've tried messing with the answer options in the Profile, but it seems that no matter what I choose the phone answers when I open it, I'd rather it didn't.

Anyone able to do this?

i really like the phone but the battery is the worst i have ever seen on a flip phone.

its even worse then my pda that i had with t-mobile. the mda phone. i had to get a big battery to extend the life of that phone and there isnt a battery for this one with a longer life.

i turned down the brightness but cant figure out how to turn off the gps.. any suggestions?

Is there a way to turn off the predictive text feature. it actually slows me down when trying to use t-0 texting.

you CAN tether using internet2 or internet3 APNs, if your data supports it, but you CAN'T tether using wap or epc APNs, you'll get error, this applies to both bt and USB
3rd party apps can be used, you can use Google Maps, Opera Mobile, no problem
only 3G icon, no H icon
can play streaming rtsp and real like old version

T-Mobile has an affordable phone with GPS. Now if we can only grab either the Pearl or the Curve with GPS in it...

you can check your version by accessing service menu
(left and right on d-pad)
right, star, left, left, star, left, star
software info

if your version is R3DA030, tethering is blocked
you can use davinciteam to flash to R3CA033 to re-enable tethering

Just be careful if one wanteth to tether to a computer or laptop for that it is rumored that tethering will be removed in a future software update.

I assume that if it will work in Europe on UMTS 2100 it will work in Japan as well as a 3G phone. Is that correct?

Usually, I see phones for T-Mo mention only WCDMA 1700. But since it also says WCDMA 2100, does that mean worldwide use as well?

I was wondering if you could set the mp3"s you store yourself via the m2 card as your ringtones? Thanks in advance!

I'm not saying like within a couple of months, but since the AWS auction in Canada took place in May, I was wondering if carriers who bought those frequencies will use them, like probably next year or so. If so, then manufacturers would have more incentive to make WCDMA 1700 phones.
