Hi guys'n'gals

not really Skyline related, but there's lot of tech/it type people around these parts... and asians :P so i figured there would be some mobile knowledge :D

my Sony Ericsson T30? (the pearl white one) went for a swim (in the kitchen sink) about a month ago and all i want to do is get my numbers/contacts off the phone.

My sim is currently in another phone and i've only now realised that after the sim gets full (bout 220 entries i think) the numbers are then saved on the phone so most of my numbers in seems are on the Sony Ericsson.

I've tried turning it on, and it seems to work, but the screen is like a washed out white and i can't see sh*t, so i can't read the numbers and write them down manually.

Does anyone know how to retrieve this info? Or a place i could take it to? the phone seems to still work, just that the screen is farked.

The phone does have bluetooth, not sure if that is of any help in this situation.

cheers

Install the Sony Ericsson PC Suite (on a CD which probably came with your phone, in the box) and follow the instructions that it gives you. Then, when the time comes, plug in your phone via the supplied USB cable and transfer your contacts (via the synchronise option) to your computer.

You should then be able to view your contacts in Microsoft Outlook - or whatever you told it to go to in the synchronisation options.

COmmiserations man. I once had a Sony-Ericsson 810W that set me back $850.

3 weeks later it fell off the side of the boat and into the (salt water) drink.

Although I immediately flushed and soaked it in 600mls of Evian, it never recovered.

3 of the charge pins coroded away.

Many months later, the Communications Clinic on North Rd, Ormond said they could replace the board & pins on it.

Still on the cards to do this as the phone was a cracker.

you said it seems to work.. if it can turn on then thats a start...

a few years back my mates little cousin decided to take his 8210 and drop it in the toilet while we were out... recovered it, washed it... and similar thing happend.. screen was all washed out and faded... cant remember where he took it but they replaced the screen and it was fine...

look around for phone repair shops or soldiering places... I once got a phone unlocked and screen replaced by this small store in an arcade on bourke st... can give you the addy, not sure if the place is still there though.

Fuck the Sony PC Suite garbage. Install MyPhoneExplorer. It'll read everything off the Sony if you install the USB drivers for it... SMS's... contacts, even your decently dialled and incoming calls list.

Hey, that looks pretty sweet. Sony Ericsson always freaking crashes for no apparent (real) reason when I unplug my phone, even though I eject it properly from the computer first.

I'll give that a look when I get home. Thanks! :P

thanks shan, i'll give it burl... IF i can find the cable :P i would like the sms's as well...

The one i had, T30 or whatever... i had since 2002 and was going fine until mid this year, so i reckon i had a pretty good run. Pre-historic phone by todays standards, but still did everything i needed it to do.

now, has Sony E changed it's data cables over the years???

At least your phone still turns on. Mine is totally dead. Dad decided to take my 8800 for a spin down the road with it on the back of his car. he got pretty far with it too before it fell off. now i got it back and its totally smashed up.

turns out the imac at home as bluetooth, whaddayaknow :P

turns out Macs are still shit and have a useless supply of programs written for it, ie MyPhoneExplorer...

i can get the iMac to recognise a Nokia 6230 that i'm using in the meantime... is there are good program, for mac, that will let me go in and delete ALL my sim #'s from the mac? Otherwise i'll have to go through # by # manually.

oh, can get the old wet SE to link up with a program called 'phoneagent' but the phone always seems to reset itself automatically before it can finish getting all the contacts >:D - so at this stage, i need to do it via the Nokia, but don't know a good management program for mac for Nokia

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
