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

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
